7.08 pb single
41 stm blocks done at 18 stm and 5.76 TPS, too lazy to write the reconstruction because I already wrote it on paper, so ask and I'll have some incentive to rewrite it out...

FTFY

type it up!

Nice! I like the way everybody knew it was good from his reaction but didn't realize how good until they fixed the display

2 (half) pairs at a time with some set up to imitate the 222 part of 32223 in 4x4

Er wat... Can you please explain more in detail? Do you ever build 2 triplets and move them to the back then do chain pairing with the remaining edges?

Yesterday I sat down to practice 3x3 and the first solve was a 13.85 fullstep...I finished an ao50 and that was still the best solve of the average. Definitely my best cold solve ever

[mafergut]

Bored of so much 3x3 without much improvement, I found a great video tutorial for Ortega by CrazyBadCuber and decided to give it a go.
After a bunch of like 20-30 solves, here's my 1st "PB".

19. 4.87 R F2 U2 R F R' U' R2 U

Reconstruction and thinking process...:

Orange face: U R U' R' (easy peasy, I'll end up with a diag swap down)
OLL: skip (surprise, why didn't I anticipate this?, c'mon man, check the permutation of the 2nd layer, ok, another diag swap, what was the PBL for that?...)
PBL: R2 F2 R2 (it was the stupidest alg in history but I gripped it wrong!!!)

No wonder it took almost 5 seconds. It was much more thinking than turning

Now, more seriously, what would be a good average for 2x2 with Ortega for somebody averaging 18-20 at 3x3? Because I rarely got sub-10 but it's my 1st day and handful of solves with Ortega so I guess there's a lot of room for improvement. And yeah, I know this is the Accomplishment thread and not the help thread but I just wanted to post my 1st 2x2 PB, you can ignore the question if it bothers you that it is not posted in the correct thread.

In all honesty, I don't think 3x3 speed has any bearing at all on 2x2 speed. If you spam 2x2 practice, you can probably average like 3.5 with Ortega (possibly less, but you might as well go and learn CLL at this speed)

5/6 seconds should be reachable with practise. bear in mind turnspeed is more important in 222 than 333, though!
