sub 8 ao50
my mgc was way faster then my old 2x2 (qidi s) so it took some time to get used to and i ended up being sup 10 at my worst but i managed to tame it and now i don't accidentally do U2 mid alg
 
i am now sub 8 globally on 2x2!
mgc is godlike,now all i need to do is try and get better at OLL prediction (i can predict AUF if it's the two bars ortega case,or if it's T perm)
 
Today I got my first sub-10 on Square-1!

| 8.78 | (0,-4)/ (0,3)/ (-3,0)/ (4,-2)/ (3,-3)/ (5,-4)/ (-5,0)/ (-3,-3)/ (3,0)/ (4,0)/ (4,-2)/

Recon
(0,-6)/(2,0)/(-2,-2)/(-1,4)/(-3,-3)/ // Cubeshape w/CP skip
(4,3)/(3,0)/(3,0)/(-1,-1)/(-3,0)/(-3,0)/ // EO
(1,4)/(3,0)/(-1,-1)/(-2,1)/(2,0) // EP
 
PBs with the Tengyun M:

OH ao50: 23.03 (with GTS2M) → 22.59
2H ao50: 13.37 (with Valk M) → 13.28

(Still undecided on whether to sign up for the next local comp that has OH…)

Ok so today was an important day as it was day 100 !
I got a really good single PB ! 13.54 ! Full step !
PBed ao5: 18.36, ao50 20.61 and ao100: 20.70 (they are so close).
Now pushing to get to sub 20 ao100 !!! Did some yellow cross today and learned a few OLL !
 
Making some really nice 3x3 progress:
PB single: 13.63
Ao5: 16.41
Ao12: 17.97
Ao50: 19.15
Ao100:19.69

Really proud of my progress! Been using roux for about 2 months now, started cubing in December (And yes, to any newer cubers like me, at least give roux and ZZ a shot, they’re a lot of fun. ZZ will never be my main method, but I enjoy solving with it from time to time.
 
Just got my square-1 pb single 5.71 from a really efficient, really lucky lolscramble.

Scramble:
(4,0)/(-3,-3)/(-4,2)/(1,-2)/(0,-1)/(0,-3)/(-1,0)/(-5,-4)/(6,-4)/(-4,-3)/(0,-3)

Solution:
(0,3)/(-2,-3)/(-2,0)/(2,0)/(-1,0)/(-3,0) CS
(4,-3)/(-3,-3)/(5,-1)/(6,0)/(3,1) EO into Solved State
 
9.73 and then 20 minutes later 9.83 OH singles. They're my first sub 10s.

E: also 12.16 mo3 and 12.04 ao5 (12.4, 11.6, 12.0, 18.4, 9.7)
I didn't notice until later, and then after seeing the times, my browser crashed, and the timer got wiped.
I don't know if I broke my average of 12 or 50, and I'm sad. The rest of the times in the session were all pretty good, so I might have.
 
wat
3:53 megaminx single,down from 4:17
for some reason when i suck at every other event and can't pb,megaminx becomes amazing
if i keep going im probably sub 4 and can roll everything down
 
Greeting cubefans! :p The Raventoe is pleased to announce that the writing of her long awaited new speedcubing guide is finished and available on ebay for your immediate perusal :D The guide is entitled -- Reflections on Rubik's Cube An entry level guide to speedcubing using the Fridrich method. The guide is mostly for beginning speedcubers and covers a complete organizational method taking the reader from ignorance thru the stages of C , F , O , P and beyond. Mostly relying on a method introduced by cube guru Bad Mephisto over a decade ago :cool: but with a few enhancements even he might appreciate. Anyway here is the ebay listing for you to check out if you get time, thanks !! Raventoe o_O
