New OH single PB: 38.17.

 

[Jakube]

Nice I used to grind this game every day at school when I was 14 Have you tried speedrunning it at all?

Me too. I played this almost every day when I was 14/15. But I always got stuck at some nasty levels. I also played a lot userlevels and created own userlevels. But then I stopped, until I found it 3 weeks ago and I started doing some levels for fun. I tried speedrunning when I was 14/15, but I'm not in the moment.

 

[Renslay]

After I've seen this video about very slow turning:
Very Slow Turning: 19.57 avg5
I thought I also try it myself (with Roux method). I tried to keep the same turn per second.

Results:

Overall best: 16.70

Avg5: 18.52
18.78, (21.20), 18.56, 18.23, (18.03)

Avg12: 19.83
17.79, 21.25, (24.16), 20.77, (16.90), 24.03, 18.78, 21.20, 18.56, 18.23, 18.03, 19.61

Avg50: 21.08

So, if someone says that lookahead is much more important than turning speed - believe him!

 

[Robert-Y]

Yeah, I think lookahead is a lot more important. I slowed down a little bit and tried to look ahead more for my second block, and with enough tries I managed a sub 13 avg of 12 (with roux) a few days ago.

PB avg of 5. I got so nervous after the 6th solve Some really nice scrambles from this session.

 

[CarlBrannen]

After a plateau of roughly 53 seconds for several weeks, my average is moving again. Very sudden change, it seems to have to do mostly with look ahead during F2L. I now get more 40s than 50s. And I got lucky (easy cross, then two skips out of 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL) so my PB is now 31.39 seconds. I can smell 30 seconds; maybe this month. Sub 40 solves are no longer rare.

This was on my Zhanchi where before I've used a Guhong version I. It's harder to control, but the need for control seems to make me speedier. Now the pressure is on to learn the rest of 2 look. I use only three corner orienting algorithms (two of which are mirrors), and two edge orienters, a mirror pair of edge permuters, and a mirror pair of corner permuters. For the other cases I stitch things together which means I average about 5.5 looks.

One of the things I noticed is that in my mirror algorithms, I'm usually considerably faster on one than the other. And the one I'm faster on is the one I learned last. It's like my finger efficiency isn't improving. Basically, I let the dominant hand do too much of the work. I need to relearn the algorithms from the point of view of finger tricks. What I'm thinking about trying is using a metronome with the added requirement that all moves have to be finger tricks.
