It’s been a really long time since I posted (almost a month), so I’ll post a really big mega-update here
1. Small Comp went surprisingly OK-ish
Currently, I have been globaling 54-55s at Megaminx, and getting an official 1:01 and 1:03 averages (while not wonderful or great) were really good. I had pretty OK F2L, mostly OK S2L, and I lost most of my time (3-4 seconds, mostly on lockups) in LL. I did get a little unlucky with how I solved EP, with no 4CP’s (my fastest algs) and only 2 3CP’s overall, but I recognized a one-look PLL a full 5 times (a W perm (on my 55) a U perm, a T perm, an A perm (on my 54) and whatever the 2 3x1 bar case is called). My official 7s debut was a mess, and I forgot to start the timer twice. I may be switching methods to a slightly easier method (Bpaul flip prob), as memo was my biggest trouble.
2. WV Comp is on the Schedule!!!
This comp has
3x3, 2x2, 4x4, 6x6, OH, Clock, Pyra, and FMC. My biggest foci are on my “worst” events (3x3, OH, 4x4, and Pyraminx, as well as 2x2).
For 3x3, I need to focus on planning cross+1 every single solve in under 12 seconds and turning faster for cross, and fixing some unoptimal LL habits (like avoiding dot OLL’s or doing inefficient COLL’s). I will also try out a couple more comp nerve tests, such as
For OH, I will focus on finishing U ZBLL, as well as watching many EOCross videos to solve efficiently. I also will learn a couple of better F2L algs for backslots.
For 4x4, I feel that I should work on fixing a really bad habit of not solving the bottom slot after centers. I’ll also work on turning faster (this seems to be a big problem with comp turning)
For 2x2, I need to relearn many CLL’s and a couple of EG’s, as the last time I learned them was November of last year, when my 2x2 alg selection was mid at best. I also will work on one-looking in sub 5, so I’ll be doing 2x2BLD quite a lot.
For Pyraminx, just finishing out the last couple of L4E cases and setting up my cube to be much more stable with probably guarantee me a PR, and I’ll throw in fast V finger tricks as well just to be quirky
For FMC, block building and NISS are all that I’ll need to be learning, so maybe just doing solves should get me sub 50 easy, so yeah.
For Clock, just learning a new method (bpaul flip was recced by
@BVCuber13, so I’ll def consider that) and grinding memo/exec should do it for me ngl
Finally, for 6x6, I’ll just do what I’ve learned over the past half-year from my last round and just solve
.
