Successfully stickering 3x3 and 5x5 without application tape.
For 2x2 I used tape and it had HEAPS of bubbles

 

[TMOY]

Got my 8^3 yesterday, my current PB is 12:37.
Stackmat is definitely possible, my recognition still sucks, mainly because determining which centers belong to which orbit sometimes takes me ages.

Did my first CN avg100 (not exactly CN, I did not do any white/yellow cross solves):

stats: (hide)
number of times: 99/100
best time: 11.05
worst time: 23.78

current avg5: 13.57 (σ = 1.44)
best avg5: 12.88 (σ = 0.94)

current avg12: 15.13 (σ = 2.27)
best avg12: 13.43 (σ = 1.20)

current avg100: 14.95 (σ = 1.98)
best avg100: 14.95 (σ = 1.98)

Observations: It is VERY tiring to the eyes, having to look at so many colours. It just takes more effort to focus your eyes on the colours you usually ignore. Also I find myself especially bed with red/orange crosses for some reason..with both F2L and LL. There're solves where I just look at the orange OLL for 2-3 seconds wondering what case is that.

Another thing is it's especially hard to recognise Pi/H OLL cases because the difference is at 2 corners and somehow it's just hard to focus properly.

Might try this again tomorrow to see if I have improvements.

I also recently started working on CN.

1) Huh. I'm doing it completely CN now, as in I allow myself white and yellow crosses. This way I'm actually being neutral in picking my cross with no restrictions. Jaycee no likey restrictions.

2) I agree. Are there eye exercises? xD

3) I'm like that with green/blue. >.< It's really frustrating because my times are like this : W/Y - ~18-19. O/R - ~21-24. G/B - ~23-26. I think it's because my blue center sticker is missing. Throws off my cross on Blue and LL when I do green cross :/

Good luck on becoming CN!

Well I'm not really switching to CN and probably never will, I just wanna see how fast I can go when doing other cross colours. When I do decide to switch to CN I'll just go full force like you. I have a comp in 1 month so I'll wait at least until then

Do you know ortega and CLL?

 

[Jaycee]

Do you know ortega and CLL?

I know Ortega but I've forgotten some CLL due to the facts that I rushed learning them and then stopped practicing. I'm just using OP with some intuitive shortcuts, Yes, I know of doing Ortega and CLL BLD, and I'll move on to those when I'm ready.

looked at the average and though "That's a nice average of 5" then relised it was 12 :3
