Accomplishment Thread

Slowly improving my Ortega 2x2 and also breaking in my new Dayan (the Cyclone Boys does not need breaking in, it was so good out of the box). The Dayan was really bad out of the box, very slow and bumpy, but after some hundreds of solves it is slowly becoming better. I assume it will need thousands of solves to really break in.

Almost sub-7 now and several sub-6 Ao5. At what average times would you recommend learning other methods? (I assume CLL and EG-1/EG-2 - antiCLL). I am starting to find Ortega a bit boring, not because I feel I'm any good at it yet but because you end up doing the same alg over and over again :( as almost half of the time you end up with a double adjacent swap as PBL (16/36 chance). I think I will learn some alternative algs for other orientations, as some people has recommended, so that it is a bit less boring.

All PBs in bold:

If you're getting to the stage where you're bored with Ortega, then learn CLL! I don't think you need to get down to any specific time to start learning new algs and new methods.

7.977, 8.013, 9.226, 7.732, 7.882 = 7.957. Counting times within .15 of each other.

8.279 AO12, either I'm getting ridiculously lucky or all these algs are actually making my LL faster.

Dammit: 6.870, 7.065, 10.149, 7.283 10.092, 7.674. Even crazier, this would not have been a PB even without one of the tens.

A few more solves: 7.283, 10.092, 7.674, 7.944, 7.007 = 7.633. WTF is going on?

Sub 9 AO100: 8.945, took a while from 9.1. I'm happy to finally get it.

Great job; I'm happy you've broke the sub 9 barrier. What LL sets do you know besides ZBLL, or is it just random algs?
 
OH PB AO5: 13.909, 11.444, 10.575, 12.042, 11.360 = 11.615

I'm going to have to clear my 3x3 Prisma session of tons of old solve, because it's causing it to freeze a lot, so I guess I'm going to end with a 12.092 AO65632.
