After focusing on only 4x4 for the past 3-4 weeks, I knocked most of the rust off my 3x3 times.

First average of 12: 26.44
last average of 12: 21.91 (including my new non-lucky PB, 15.75).

I'm thinking of finally moving on from a storebought soon. I might do it after Christmas break.

I have no accomplishments. I have been cubing for 19 mouths, and I have been stuck at 20-21 seconds for 10 mouths.

^ I've been stuck there for about 3 or 4, and it's already getting depressing. T_T

Try to look ahead. (Decrease pauses between moves)

Although they say you don't need to learn full 2LLL(two look last layer) it truly helped me a lot. I went from around 22 to 15 in two months that way.

Looks head helps but in my opinion thats what you really start working on once you get sub 15.

I assume you use straight up reduction right? Try experimenting with 3 pairing or Yau.

Oh crap, pb 12.03 ao5 o_0

I may update this post if I get another time (sub-12.03) to get the ao5 to sub-12

Ya, I failed next solve

But still supanice for me

Yeah i guess lol. Reduction 32223 then 3x3 stage using Roux.

What is your best avg 12 and avg 100?

Yeah i guess lol. Reduction 32223 then 3x3 stage using Roux.

Roux for 3x3 stage on 4x4 is disgusting. Try K4.

 

[qqwref]

Yeah i guess lol. Reduction 32223 then 3x3 stage using Roux.

Have you tried any of the Roux-by-four variants?
1:
- two opposite centers
- place one of the centers on L, pair up three edges, solve them with the corresponding corners into a rouxblock
- solve corners without breaking rouxblock
- pair edges without breaking rouxblock
- second rouxblock, CMLL, LSE/parity

2:
- two opposite centers, place on L and R
- pair up three edges and solve them with the corresponding corners into a left rouxblock
- same on the right
- CMLL
- solve the bottom center
- insert four "columns" of an edge, center, and center to finish F3L
- 4x4 ELL (see the K4 page)
