I am finally better with ZZ than CFOP! My next comp is this weekend so I will be using ZZ there!

Also I am trying to learn either ZZ-C++ or ZZ-CT (go to my ZZ-CT vs ZZ-C++ to help me decide :) )
Hey, awesome job! That must be really tough learning an entire new method and BEATING your main method’s times. If you would mind answering, I’m just curious (and I know you haven’t done as many ZZ solves) what your ZZ PB single is and what your CFOP pb single is. I Just think seeing other people’s pbs on any method other than cfop seems really fun because I don’t use the method and like to see how good you can get with it. Again, awesome job!
 
PB Single: 10.42!
I actually don’t know the scramble because I used the cstimer website at school and I delete my customer sessions because y’know they can check my history, so maybe I’ll edit this post with the scramble but yeah. It was also a keyboard time so take it with a grain of salt.

qiyi clonk

single: 18.x → 13.825
ao12: 24.x → 18.225
ao50: DNF → 19.973
ao100: still DNF lol

more clonks

single: 13.825 → 12.093
ao12: 18.225 → 16.619
ao50: 19.973 → 18.712
ao100: DNF → 19.425

---

(edit) 50 more solves:

single: 12.093 → 10.456
ao50: 18.712 → 18.079
ao100: 19.425 → 18.568
ao200: DNF → 19.905

---

(edit edit) 200-ish more solves:

ao12: 16.619 → 14.428
ao50: 18.079 → 15.458
ao100: 18.568 → 15.953
ao200: 19.905 → 17.402

DNF rate is kinda high, which is a bit terrifying. Anyhow, 24 non-sub-20 solves out of the last 200, or an 88% chance for each single solve to hit a 20-second cutoff, which makes for a 98.56% chance of hitting cutoff within two attempts. That's enough clonking for now.

Sub 50 second average (I've been cubing for a couple weeks now, use beginner method, and am learning 4-look last layer) so far, but I can't wait to update this.

Edit: I got a PB of 33 seconds, and got a PB of 5 seconds on 2x3 (I average around 17 seconds, which is still a big improvement for 2x2). Also, I learned how to solve mirror cubes (2x2 & 3x3).

I taught 2 people how to solve the cube today! Do you all teach the daisy when teaching people how to solve or not.
if i thought someone to solve the cube i think id just teach them to start in any color so they can be color neutral when they learn cfop

Yeah. I’m gonna tell them that the next time I see them. They won’t know it yet but it will save them the struggle later on.
 
Highlights of my comp this weekend:
Link to video of square-1 average

Also got my PB square-1 single while warming up, which is really cool. Recon here
