[Member Intro] Better Late Then Never :D

[tarandeep5]

Hey guys!

My name is Tarandeep, a cuber from Southeastern Ontario, in Canada. I'm currently in Grade 11, and currently stressing out because of exams coming up this month . I've been registered on the forums for two years now, but I've only been actively cubing for the last three months. I currently average 25 secs with CFOP with 4LLL, but I am slowly learning PLL and OLL algorithms at the moment. I was also looking up the Roux method, and may be something I would want to learn in the future. I currently have a small collection of cubes, that consists of a 2x2, a few 3x3s, 2 4x4s, and a skewb. It seems awkward to post in threads right now because I don't have much knowledge with cubing, but as I get more puzzles and learn more about them, I'll slowly start to post more and try to be a great community member. I guess that's pretty much it. Thanks for reading!

Yay for Canada.

Look into blindfold solving if you have the time, it's fun.

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS.

That was something I was actually looking into. Would looking into Pochmann be the best place to start? And thanks for welcoming me

 

[JasonDL13]

Old Pochmann is very good to start. M2 is also good for edges but I don't know all of it so I can't say anything. ^_^

OP corners, M2 Edges is probably the best way to start.

Welcome! I agree, M2 edges with Old Pochmann corners is how I learned as well. I recommend Noah's tutorial on Cubing World's channel on YouTube. You don't know M2 though Jason? Do you just use turbo or do you already know 3 style?

Pure Old Pochmann Power! I talk with Maskow frequently and he's coaching me though MBLD
However, I do use U-Perms for some easy 3 style cases.

Other fact: I don't use letter pairs, I will switch to pairs soon, though. (Maskow advises 11 cube MBLD and I'm doing 10)

 

[Rocky0701]

Wow! That's pretty cool that you're down to 2:00 without M2. Letter pairs should really help too especially with MBLD memo. I haven't done any MBLD since I got my 2/2 a few days ago, but I will definitely try 3/3 soon.

I actually average DNF Because I never practice single BLD. My times went down from practicing MBLD.

When I do get a success it's between 1:50-2:10. Memo is usually 50s-60s, solve is usually 60s. I feel that when I make pairs my memo will be much faster, and I have no reason to have a faster solving method now if my memo needs improvement

Good luck getting 3/3 ^^
