[Official] 2:25.00 5x5 single from Lawrence Spring 2015 + help requested on big cubes

[JustinTimeCuber]

This was my best 5x5 single at Lawrence Spring 2015 and now this is around my global average. I kinda want advice on getting faster at 5x5+, because I'm amazingly slow at them.

Practice.

Use more inspection to plan your first two centers, and in general, turn faster. Slow turning plus pauses leads to slow times.

You can watch some walkthrough solves on youtube that show you some tricks for centers. Other than that just p r _ c _ _ _ e

The thing about big cubes, which is one of the reasons I don't like them as much, is that there are no tricks to improve besides practice for the most part. A reconstruction of a sub 1 solve can look very similar to that of a ~2:00 solve. The one general tip , that is most useful for breaking the sub:2 barrier, I can give you besides practice is to focus on using moms that are good for finger tricking, instead of trying to minimize the amount of moves you use.
