12.45 Roux PB ao25 10.76 single
Just got/setup my RS3M and it is much better for roux than the
MS, really don't know which one i prefer for other methods though.

This was insane, Mo3: 7.90 > 7.72 (8-10), Ao5: 8.43 > 8.28 (2-6) > 7.65 (5-9) and Ao12: 9.10 > 8.68

nice 4 rotations instead of 0
I did this with the WRM, I just cleaned it and set it up (50k in the core, 30k (I think) on the tracks and then just 10k whenever it gets to fast) and it is really good, probably my main

Since ive switched to roux, im consistently sub 13 with roux and ZZ, and Sub 12 with petrus and CFOP
First solve was pretty bad tho

I finally finished my last COLL set of H. That brings the count up to 354/494, which is roughly ~72% of ZBLL.

Now all I have left are L (which are just TU inverses), and Sune and Anti Sune (which are mostly mirrors and inverses of each other). All together, there are about 30 unique algs that I need to learn, but probably more because inverses/mirrors aren't always the best. Regardless, learning the algs usually isn't the part that's hard; it's the recognition and association which is difficult.


3 months and 3 sets. Let's see if I can finish by the end of the year.
 
Did some 2x2 solves after 2-3 months of 2x2 neglect. instead of my Valk 2 or MGC, I decided to use my old Weipo, and got a PB average.

Yesterday, somehow I got a sub-10 PB single of 8.60, with a PLL skip, but still, PB!

Well, I got a 2x2 speed cube for the first time yesterday, the MoYu WeiPo WRM. My previous times were averaging 2 minutes, as I was struggling with the cube (obviously) and had a really back-woods way of solving that wasn’t codified.

I got the cube, learned most of the algorithms in the instruction booklet that came with it, and spent about half and hour cubing before timing myself. I got several new records, culminating in a 13.72 seconds!

Just goes to show how important it is to have the proper equipment and some good algorithms!

2x2 is my favorite event! Once you get about sub-8 or sub-10, I would start learning Ortega, which is only 12 algorithms (you probably already know at least 3 of them), but can get you really fast. (I average sub-4.5 with it.)

it literally took me around 2 hours to reconstruct solves 1 and 3 because I didn't think I did something that bad on solve 1 and because I'm an idiot.

666 one-handed, 6:28.42 ao5 and 6:17.60 single. (PB single before today was 6:43.54, and every solve in the ao5 was better than that. Messed up a lot in these solves too (3: accidentally did L2C on opposite faces; 4: messed up ZBLL; 5: broke up centres during freeslice); I could probably get a sub-6:20 if I just stop being dumb.)

Swapped the stock springs in my Shadow M with those from the Wuhua, and by "swapped" I actually mean my Wuhua is in shambles because the Shadow's springs don't really fit in it and the cube can't stay together without springs. Anyhow, this cube now has garbage corner cutting, but it's also fast and the magnets aren't too strong, which makes it way better than either the stock Shadow M (too slow) or the Wuhua (no magnets) for one-handed solving. I'll probably switch the springs back soon.
