First attempt DNF. I got 10 edges correct, but forgot my last 4 letters for corners.
GJ you came pretty came pretty close to a success despite attempting to DNF.

After a few hours of tutorials, I'm stating to get the hang of M2. I'm gonna do my first solve today.
Are there any good written tutorials for M2 made for beginners?

I'm back from a week vacation, and kinda need to get back into cubing. My average dropped about a second, but should be back to normal after a day or two.

I found the perfect cube for me(so it seems anyway), the WR M 2020. I set it up with gravitas, dignitas, and mystic. It fits my turning perfectly it is just sooo enjoyable to turn.

Starting to get the hang of blue cross. Sub 20 with it, and I think maybe a few hundred more solves and I will be good.

Almost broke my PB with an 8.66. Insane scramble tbh.

X-Cross: Z2 L D' F2 D' F' D

3rd: U' R U R'
4th: Y' U2 L' U L U' L' U L

Yesss PB!
Another insane scramble, I got an 8.36!

Gonna register for my first comp, western championships! Definitely gonna be competing in 3x3 and 2x2, possible Square 1 and Pyra if I have time to practice. I can only go on the first day, so even if I did make 2nd round I could not attend.
Same thing happened to me. Making in second round if pretty easy. But then again I don't know the size of your comp.

Update lol: I actually can't go to this comp, it's too close to another trip. :(
I guess I will have to wait for another one to show up.

I like this alg:
(r U R' U) (R' F R F') (R U' R' U R U2' r')

U AUF for the recognition angle most people use

The COLL I use is:
R' (F' U' F U') R U (S' R' U R S)

The CMLL alg it is derived from:
R' (F' U' F U') R U (R' U R)

Although I prefer my alg, Eamon's OO COLL is just the one I use from the back angle:
(U2) (S' R U R' S) U (R U' B U' B' R')
