huh
got my pb squan single from 2:30-1:15-55 in abt 5 solves that i did today. like the event, i dont know parity still
im maybe learning tmr from my friend, or at a cubing meetup on sunday

 

[ep2]

First sub 30 avg 50 and pb avg 12. Really focusing on cross, which is making the difference.

 

[alexiscubing]

49 on squan (i think when i learn parity and i dont have to worry abt it i will be sub 1)

There may or may not have been more rotations during cross/L4C. Don't have this on video, and I don't quite remember.

Took about a week and some change off to grind some Call of Duty but I am back I think and I just broke my 4x4 single. Used to be a very low 40 something maybe even a 40.xx and I forgot to change it. But either way, I just hit a 39.05s solve! First ever sub 40!!

scramble up top.

i dont know parity

I'm gonna go into rant mode sicko mode

Spoiler: rant

IS IT REALLY THAT HARD TO LEARN A 13 SLICE ALGORITHM? MOST PLL CASES HAVE MORE MOVES THEN THAT, JUST LEARN THE FREAKING ALGORITHM it's NOT EVEN HARD

I LEARNT IT YESTERDAY AND NOW ITS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE EVENTS LOLOOLOLOL btw if you were looking for someone good on the forums to race , @Sowrduk is the guy that taught me and he averages like 10-11 on squan

Are there any others? If so, please tell me, if not, my original post is still mostly right, as we were talking about parity, and there is no m2 in the parity alg

Technically triggers are obsolete on a puzzle like square-1 since its only a 2 axis puzzle and therefore there aren't nearly as many combinations of moves. 3,0/-3,0/3,0/ and similar "triggers" are common but since square-1 is by far the most unique and restrictive puzzle in the WCA they just look like normal moves so its hard to define a trigger. By a 3x3 standard M2 is the only common trigger but its much easier to remember square-1 algs by cube shape than by "triggers". The way the puzzle moves by having only 2 axes, its not hard to remember moves or keep them in your muscle memory. There are only 3 possible moves and only 2 aren't the same every time, so its much easier to keep track of turning 2 faces and then slicing instead of having 27 possible moves on a 3x3.

In summary, "triggers" aren't a thing for square-1 due to the nature of the puzzle, but there are easier ways to remember algorithms, so your post is not only incorrect but it also hardly makes sense given context.
