Umm, I don't think that's a great idea but if it's fun for you do it.

im doing it mostly because i am thinking of trading cfop to ZZ

 

[caleb_g]

zz is my relaxation method, its so much less demanding haha

the ez 2 gen pairs and the solved yellow edges makes me happy

except i still mess up the stupid eo like every 5 solves gaahhh

Sub 10 solve again
High TPS but some lucky cases.

i average 16 now, solutions are still that of a 20-22 second solver but my tps makes up for it lmao

im unsure if i said this here, but i want to make my secret working not so secret anymore

BLIND TIME BABYY!

Ok. That’s better, and you can still play around with it, but (personally) in Untimed solves I would work on say, lookahead, as it’s really important, as we all know. Lookahead is the difference between a 12 second Cuber and a 6-7 second one.

one thing i would like to say (yes i know you said this a while ago) but, i just realized why i shouldve done this instead...

Having trouble with the pauses in my solves, is there any tips aside from just untimed fluid solving?

You can try 2-Gen in CsTimer, and make sure to solve the last 2 pairs with very little pauses.

ive set my cube to a more controlled setting, now it feels alot more solid, and i like that feel.
it was fast and snappy but i wasnt as consistent with it

 

[randomness...]

in addition to that, i have started using a different colorscheme. my blue and yellow colors are swappede

 

[randomness...]

a profile (picture) update will be after a pure sub 1 4x4 average

 

[randomness...]

i hate that i fast outside of competing

Spoiler: i dunno what happened (YJ MINI)

Nice! I prefer flick style a lot more than push, except for certain inserts.

i cant flick on anything bigger than a YJ mini, sadly, so my push style is a l o t better

It takes practice, but you will get better at it fast. I think I took a few days of occasional practice before I could comfortably do flick style.

 

[caleb_g]

i always did flick style, i never knew there was anything else lol

 

[randomness...]

that made me angy the first time i saw you OH on call
i thought it was more complex so i never tried

 

[Skewby_Doo]

I learnt push for about 2 minutes before learning that flick was better :/
