[Tao Yu]

8.14 (Petrus), 10.71 (ZZ), 8.55 (Roux), 7.27 (CFOP), 11.49 (Freefop) = 9.13 average of 5 (9.23 mean of 5)
Cube: aolong v2
Don't have scrambles, sorry.

I'm planning on taking a bit of a break from cubing now as I have important exams coming up and I need to focus. So until summer, I won't be making new videos, and I probably won't be posting much on here (I'll obviously still reply to stuff in this thread though). Just to let you guys know.

I really don't get how you are so fast at all these different methods. Crazy stuff.

Thanks! I just practise them individually. I actually think it would be like practising many different events. It took me a long time too, it's been 4 years now since I got my first sub 10 avg12 with CFOP.

I think the most common problem that people have when it comes to using different methods is breaking habits from other methods, and getting used to blockbuilding (my advice for blockbuilding: link). But this can be overcome with practise. I think it's just that not many people care enough about getting fast with multiple methods to put in the practise.

Do you choose your method based on the scramble, or do you have a main method?

This is the cubing equivalent to a polyglot. Impressive,

CFOP is my main method, it's my fastest method by far.

I like to think that I actually do choose my method based on the scramble, but it just turns out to be CFOP every time .

Beats my PB ao5 by 0.81 and I only practice CFOP! Nice solves

Very cool! I think you're right in that for me I only care to be good in one method, but I'd take your speed in any method.

Mm, well there you go. The turnspeed also helps, I bet. I'm decently fast with a few different methods (avg12s: 12.xx with columns, 14.xx with roux/rouxctangular francisco/petrus/zz) but sub10 is very far away. I'll definitely check out your blockbuilding stuff - that's always been a rough point for me.

Really impressive!
Thanks for the link to the blockbuilding info you posted too, there's some really good stuff there.
