How are you building the last cross piece? I tend to just freeslice it, then insert it using either y L' U' L U y (UF --> UL) or y' L U L' U' y' (UB --> UL). Then I pair up the rest of the edges as usual with M slice pairing instead of E slice.

I'm placing the third edge incorrectly, freeslicing the last, and then replacing the incorrect one with a U L U' type insert. I do this on 5x5 and 6x6, too.

I've received my mini ss7 but I haven't changed the springs or broken it in yet. But I really do hope that I can average under 3:30 some day.

Lol I just took the cube out of the box, loosened it a tiny bit, and started solving. I'm way to lazy to deal with this silly spring stuff.

:/

Maybe I should train myself to incorrectly place edges

 

[uberCuber]

It was weird for me at first, but it didn't take very long to get used to once, really just a couple days of making myself do it. It certainly seems like the easiest way to go about finishing the cross for anything bigger than 4x4.

I used to think it was until I learned about doing y' R' U' R U or y' z U R U' R'

Also, having the 3 cross edges correct relatively leaves the option of doing it the same way on a 4x4 if a degde accidently pairs after centers.

I'll take a rotationless 3-move insertion over rotation->4 moves->rotation any day. But as far as 4x4 is concerned, I've never done the incorrectly placed 3rd edge thing anyway; I usually actively pair the final dedge while finishing centers

Finally consistently getting sub-25 averages after getting solves from 20-30 seconds for several weeks.
