Also, I am now top 30 in the world for all FTO categories being 25th in the world for single, 30th in the world for ao5, 26th in the world for ao12, and 27th for ao100. I also finished even TCP and am learning odd TCP right now. I think right now that my current goal is to go for silver status in at least one category, and my overall goal is silver in all categories+SR in at least 2 categories.

Honestly, for this scramble I would also do CFOP, as there is a pair you can preserve by doing CFOP.

What are you calling it

 

[Discomantis]

What are you calling it

I don't know if it is an original method, to be clear, but I discussed this with @Cubist-Guitar and I think arrowFOP sounds like a pretty good name (even though it doesn't look like an arrow, cross-1 is sometimes called that according to speedsolving wiki)

Also I might think of a better name eventually

 

[Fred]

How about cross-1+1? Which shockingly doesn't equal cross.

That sounds okay to me, but the name is a bit misleading

Yeah I would say arrowFOP for now, seems like a good name.

do you not global 1:17 anymore

 

[Cubist-Guitar]

do you not global 1:17 anymore

I guess? I cleaned my Megaminx for the first time since I bought it last week, and it was absolutely filthy, so…?

Before today, the last ao100 I had had counting solves in the that were slower than 1:30 (and which to clarify, is around my official average for some strange reason) and times from late March. In short, I haven’t done that much Megaminx in a long, long time (I mean, the last time I grinded Mega was actually in late January in prep for Nova Winter 2024). I did do 12 solves last week though, and did have an average of 12 around 1:10 with those solves, so here is the average

But yeah, I did more block building in S2L, cleaned my filthy Megaminx, and loosened the tensioned by at least 180 degrees, but some were a full 360 degrees
