DNF was a screwed up OLL parity fix. I am pretty sure that I got parity or double parity 10/12 times and only screwed it up once so much improved from last week. Still working on getting more efficient with my Hoya cross but loving 4x4 more all the time. Times really weren't that great, but it felt smoother than last week, so I'll take the gradual improvement. I know that participation in this thread will yield results just from the practice alone. I was really hoping to break a PB today with the 40th anniversary and all, and I though 4x4 would be my best shot at it, but I guess it wasn't in the cards (close though). I guess there is always next year
 
I am going to join this race, but my best is now only 2:30 or so (need to update signature), I will do an average of 5 solves tomorrow because I don't have time today. I am hoping to get my best solve under 2 minutes by mid to late June, maybe earlier, please keep the thread going rocky.:)

Hey again. What method do you use on 4x4? Because if you use reduction, you should try Yau too, it is used by many fast solvers, and has helped me too. I will definitely keep this thread going. There haven't been too many people using it yet, but i hope more will soon. I will be overwhelmed with forum competitions tomorrow lol. This, race to sub 25, weekly competition, race to sub 20 even though i haven't graduated race to sub 25 yet, even though i know i'm sub 25

I use the reduction method, I'll try to look into Yay Method this week, I also think I just need to practice more since I haven't solved 4x4 for 50 solves even.
 
You said Ao5 is ok for people above 2 minutes, so I'll use it untill I hit my first sub-2 here.

Nice, GJ on the sub-2. You use Yau right? Have you ever tried Hoya? Its very similar but to me it a lot easier to track pieces.

Best Time: 1:31.13

PB's:
Average of 12: 1:40.53
Average of 5: 1:34.89
PB:1:19.04

Globally, I have 4 or 5 timings under 1:30, and one I reached with PLL-Parity. I'm in the race to 1:30, but for the 12 given scrambles, I'm in the race to 1:45 first (achieve when you have to achieve, and not a PB out of 1000 scrambles).
