What are your averages as of right now? I might be able to give you some tips, if you want.

Averages for what? If you mean 4x4, my average is 4:53 and I'm trying to get sub-3

Mirror Blocks PB by 4 minutes! Time was 3:04.92

Oh I thought he is talking about mirror blocks

I didn’t mean for blocks lol I don’t even have one. Do you want any tips for 4x4?? Not trying to act like I know everything, just wanna give back to this amazing community!

I need help getting sub-3 in 4x4 by April. Will 3-2-3 edge pairing be enough or should I learn more?

After I learned 323 my average dropped by like 30 seconds, but I was averaging 2 minutes previously. Do you use Yau?

Yes, but I have only done 3 solves, so maybe I will get there with practice

I definitely think just doing solves can lower your average to at least sub-3, at least that's how it was for me, but 323 will decrease your times by quite a bit once you get the hang of it.

I have not been practicing 3x3 very much recently, but I've just learned OLL 7 and If I can practice last layer rotationless I can be sub-30 very soon.

3x3 single PB: 25.71
Sub-25 fail, got a nice PLL skip but I spent too long doing cube rotations during OLL

Learn OCLL

Learn OCLL

2-look OLL

Learn OCLL

You mean COLL? I am learning it

2-look OLL

I am learning 1-look OLL

 

[Cubinginatree]

You should learn 2 look first for OLL and PLL there is no reason why not to.

Ok fine.

24.54 3x3 single! My cross was really slow but I had 2 F2L pairs solved before I even started F2L. Then I sped through OLL completely rotationless, but I messed up my H perm and somehow got a sub-25 single

Just beat this by 0.01 seconds. This time I did not mess up H perm (Yes it was a different scramble, I just happen to be fast with H perm)
