4x4x4
54.70, double parity with redux

easily my fastest redux solve. 2 edges solved after centers

Anything sub-minute at 4x4 is crazy fast for me I can't even sub-2 at 4x4 (not that I practice 4x4 much if at all but...)

 

[TDM]

Yup lol. I thought timers like CS and QQ dont do things like this but...

qqTimer doesn't do it. I've seen quite a few people have it on csTimer though.

2x2 Avg of 12: 1.70
Pretty good

 

[mafergut]

Oh my! Am I really progressing and leaving behind my long "not-quite-sub-20" plateau?
I have improved my Ao50 by almost half a second in two days! Yesterday I went down from 19.68 to 19.40 and now, down again to 19.24!!!

I don't like to quote myself but, what can I say? While finishing the Ao100 from yesterday I ended up rolling Ao50 down to sub-19!!! And also got a new PB Ao100 and Ao12 while doing it. Now it's 0.7sec improvement in my Ao50 in two days. I hope the improvement trend lasts a bit more before the next plateau ;-)

I'm consistently sub one minute on 15 puzzle. Are there guides to advanced methods anywhere?

 

[TDM]

I'm consistently sub one minute on 15 puzzle. Are there guides to advanced methods anywhere?

There aren't really any advanced methods (for 15 puzzle, though there are for larger puzzles) - people either use LBL or fringe (solve 1-4 and 5/9/13, then 6-8 and 10/14, then last three pieces. Both are about the same speed and require roughly the same number of moves. To get faster, aside from the obvious being able to move faster, efficiency is very important. Ben is very efficient, and has several videos on his YouTube channel of him solving - you can learn things just by watching other people solve. I think soup (search s16269 on YouTube) also has quite a few videos.
It's also helpful to switch to 2H already (assuming you're on slidysim) - it's faster to use two hands than one.

11.97 3x3 solve, third sub-12 ever. Also gave me a 14.03 mo3 which I'm pretty sure is a pb although I don't really keep track of mo3.

Ben does fringe if I remember correctly. I'll watch his videos, thanks for the advice on 2H, I didnt even realize that was a thing.

apparently i got better at 5x5x5 at some point?

1:39.10, (1:52.45), (1:32.42), 1:34.10, 1:38.31 = 1:37.17 ao5

ao12 is PB by like 6 seconds lmao

You don't know full COLL? Also 493, includes PLLs.

 

[OLLiver]

You don't know full COLL? Also 493, includes PLLs.

I know both of those, But I don't know COLL as ZBLL cases, so I don't include them, but I forgot PLL because im weird.
Make it 27/493 lol.
Also I subbed to your channel, but your solves don't typically include ZBLL am i right?

For TH I don't always force EO and I don't use sune/anti-sune ZBLLs, but for OH all of my solves are ZBLL.

How do you force EO? I can force it when there's at least 2 edges oriented on top (either by hiding the pair and AUFing, or sledgehammer) with the last pair made, but when there's only 1 or 0 on top, I can't find a good way to force EO.
