Alexiscubing - Personal Progress - LEARNT SQUAN

[alexiscubing]

Here, I will critique the solve.
Cross - x' R' F2 B2 L - Great cross, no complaints here.
F2L 1- U R U' R' L' U L -As you mentioned there was free pair bit since you planned Cross +1 it is fine.
F2L 2- y U' L' U' L U L' U' L U R U' R' - This solution could be better. I would have done y U2 R U2 R' U' R U R'.
F2L 3- L' U L- Obviously no complaints here.
F2L 4- y U' F' U F U R U' R' U R U' R'- Here is another solution that could use some work, you don't need any F moves here. The better way is y U' R U R' U2 R U' R'.
OLL- R U R' U R U2 R' -Obviously got lucky with a Sune here, I obviously can't see what finger tricks you did, but make sure to finger trick this correctly.
PLL- U2 R' U L' U2 R U' R' U2 L R - Ja perm, again, make sure to finger trick it as well as possible. You shouldn't be doing more than one regrip here. (Obviously I don't know if you did or not, just in general try to limit regrips.)

This solve seemed good other than the 2nd and 4th pair. Also props to you for planning Cross + 1.

Thanks! I might try learning the F2L algs for those cases

Ok, so i practiced more 3x3, and got a 10.71 PB ao5 and a 11.84 PB ao12
I am averaging around 13, hope to break the sub 13 barrier soon.
I will be posting more frequently now

I learnt squan, and am averaging low 1, sub 1 after 2 days. I am loving the event, if anyone can help with CS, that would be good.

Lots of practice

I found this video helped me a lot with cubeshape.

It's a bit of a committment to learn advanced cubeshape, but, I just wrote down how everything reduced into each other (eg: fist/shield -> 3+3/2 -> pawn/pawn, and then I knew how to solve pawn/pawn). I was comfortable with every case after about a week of doing roughly 50 solves every day with looking at my cheat sheet for CS. Every once in a while I'll still look at my cheat sheet to make sure I'm doing the most optimal way for a particular case.

I learnt squan, and am averaging low 1, sub 1 after 2 days. I am loving the event, if anyone can help with CS, that would be good.

I just kind of figured out how to reduce into easy cases like scallop kite, scallop scallop, shield square, shield shield, ETC by just messing with the square-1 when it's out of cubeshape to see how things move and stuff.

 

[alexiscubing]

just realised i didn't know how to solve scallop kite
mostly did 2x2 today, got a PB? ao100 - like 2.9 including a 0.79 and 0.86
Tomorrow is going to be my biggest cubing session since March (i had a comp), I will be meeting some friends for 6 hrs of cubing and mc, so expect some new videos,

Should I make a google forms/spreadsheet so people can compete with us?

I am ordering a MS 3x3 stickerless, and trading with a friend for a mini valk stickerless and a ylm squan. 1.5mm magnets should fit in the mini valk right?
