I plan on switching from top-first to l4e on pyraminx, because top first is boring and l4e seems pretty efficient and fast if done correctly

anyone else who has switched methods on pyra? Any good websites/Youtube tutorials/walktroughs for l4e?

I use intuitive L4E! (And I have a 4.25 official average with it.)

I've been using it since the beginning, so I don't really have any tips on switching. If you've ever used keyhole though, you can use the exact same method to build V's, and that's basically what I do.

This site has solutions for all L4E cases, but I think its "D edge" recognition system is kinda weird. I just recognize based on blocks of color.

As for walkthroughs, @DGCubes has a couple videos that I found useful.

I got the QiYi WuQue not too long ago--instant main, since I didn't have anything good aside from the AoSu for so long. Immediately dropped my times by at least 10 seconds. I got my first sub-minute solve on 4x4, too! PB was 1:01.xx, but now it's 53.82! Sub-1 solves are getting slightly more common, I'm still practicing to improve my averages (currently shooting for Sub-1:05 and eventually Sub-1).

Also got the WeiLong GTS M (another instant main) which finally allowed me to get a Sub-14 PB average of 100 (13.75) and even a PB average of 12 (12.70). Very happy with them! Though I know I can get a mid-13 average with more practice

It doesn't. It's just a general life statement.

I just got my 3rd LL skip in 9 days wtf : 9.46 OH single
I've done around 500 3x3/OH solves, someone knows the probability?

Probability is around 1/30000

 

[Cale S]

8.60 square-1 single, first solve of the day and could have been a lot faster

(1, 3) / (3, 0) / (-3, 0) / (3, 0) / (-1, -1) / (-3, 0) / (1, -3) / (0, -3) / (-3, 0) / (0, -3) / (5, -5) / (4, -3) /

/ 2,-3 / -1,-2 / -3,0 /
6,0 / 6,3 /
3,6 / 3,0 / 3,0 / -1,-1 / -2,1 / -3,0 /
/ -1,-1 / -5,1 / 1,1 / -3,-2


and got this sad avg5 later: (9.63), 11.69, 17.57, 11.19, (26.90)
