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!!

I'm gonna go into rant mode sicko mode

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
But there are no triggers 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.

Could've been sub 1 but I was fumbling so much during edges, which were suuuper easy might I add, 2/3 made edges as far as the eye could see...

I just got a PB FMC Mean of 3 and Single! 46 and 45 respectively.

It was the scrambles from this week's cubers.io competition, and it does sort of count as a PB even though it was my first time actually doing FMC.
