Just solved my 3x3 Ultimate Mixup cube on my own. Even figured out the parity type situation with no help. Solving a new puzzle on my own is always such an awesome high. View attachment 18001
Congrats! Solving a non-wca puzzle without tutorials is my favorite type of solve/accomplishment!

…I got 2 of my best ever solves tonight, a 15.57 and 16.70. I am certain this 22s ao12 is my best average of 2021 as well since I’ve been MIA for 6 months. Can’t wait to keep practicing consistently in 2022 and watch those times drop!

ZBLL learning is pretty fun imo. Also, full TUL is worth learning even if you use CFOP so why not?
Exactly. I've known about it for a long time, and I've wanted to start learning, but I've just been to shy to say it. The thing I'm thinking of is a full ZBLL commitment, and I think I might be the only guy to do this.

Edit: I'm sorry.
Being serious now, what method of recog do you use? Also, what was your learning pattern like as far as daily practice/review/ect?

I just recog the COLL, then look for patterns(which is basically Baum-Harris recog afaik) for T and U and @OreKehStrah's NCP for L
As far as practice routine, it was, let's say all over the place. I learnt it on and off(which is why I took 8 months to do this but the total effort I put in was only about 3 weeks' worth).
I learnt 12 algs per day using train yu(with a virtual cube)
The recall seems to be great. I can remember the algs for months without review.
I still need to review/drill the algs using a real cube though since my executions are pretty bad.
