YES

Edit: Wow I just got 18.295 (with a PLL skip)

Multiphase isn't something you should be doing. Pressing the timer over and over slows you down by maybe 1-1.5 seconds.

You could use multiphase for checking your splits and finding weak points, but I wouldn’t recommend it for overall practice.

Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines.

I'm only doing multiphase to see what I need to improve on for sub-20. I have a different session for normal 3x3.

I learnt 5x5! My first timed solve was just under 10 minutes so I'm going to try to do 2 5x5 solves every day to try to get better.
My 3x3 average is just above 25 seconds and I've got a few sub-20 solves.
I haven't practised 2x2 or 4x4 much, and when I did 50 solves on 2x2 my ao100 went up to above 6 seconds

I learnt full PLL and got an insane 13.849 fullstep single!
Also I did a few 5x5 solves and I'm down to 7 minutes, should I learn Yau now or get better at the beginners method?

This is a bit of a bump, but I got a YouTube channel! https://youtube.com/channel/UC6Pgystx5NPRZrqZfw4HqaQ

I've only uploaded one video so far but I will do a cubing and gaming video every week.

Yau > Yau5
here is another vid

I agree Yau > Yau5 for most of the time. But I find myself solving F2L pairs before finishing the edge pairing fairly often, and it helps a lot later on during edge pairing. I think it's good to achieve a good balance between the two.

There are times when I find myself using Yau5 because of a good case but for someone newer to 5x5 it is easier to just follow one rule

Ok haven't updated this in a while but I've learnt lin for square1 and I'm learning the algorithms for it. I also learnt zz and I think I might switch to it because Cfop is kinda boring and I suck at learning algs. For 4x4 I'm trying to get sub 1 and I currently average about 1:15. I think I just need slightly faster tps and better lookahead to get better. And I've barely practiced 2x2 and 5x5.

I also haven't uploaded on my yt in a while but I have a video filmed that I just need to edit and a few more video ideas. I've just kinda been demotivated to make videos because I put a lot of effort in my april fools and the video went tiny.
