Discomantis's progression thread | On the bigBLD grind

[Discomantis]

Ok, so I am going to start learning how to predict AUF for EG-1, as it takes 0.3ish off my times.

Today I learned how to predict AUF for T1, T3, T5, and T6

There are 5 EG cases I don't know as well and I will learn those soon.

 

[Discomantis]

I just finished learning how to predict AUF for all T and Pi cases.

Solve 1:

U2 R U' R' F R' F' R U // CLL

Solve 2: z' x'
R // CLL layer
U R' F R F' R U' R' U' R U' R' // CLL

Solve 3: y2 x':
U2 R2 U' R' // CLL layer cancelled into CLL
U R' U R U R' F R' F' R U // CLL

Solve 4: x' y'
U' R U R' F' R // CLL layer
U // Last layer skip

Solve 5: z2
F U' R U R' // EG-1 layer
R U' R' F R U' R2 F' R U R' F R U // EG-1


I'm a bit disappointed as I missed this 6 move cancellation on solve 5

z2
F U' // EG-1 face cancelled into EG-1 algorithm


F R U' R2 F' R U R' F R U // EG-1

I just got my first pyraminx blindfolded success:

I reset scrambles until I got a scramble that appeared good on the draw scramble tool and got a success on my first try

Getting a 0.67 on that 4th solve is really quite impressive, it took me a lot of attempts to beat. Well done!

 

[Discomantis]

Got this during a competition!

(It wasn't in an official solve)

 

[Discomantis]

Here's how I did in my comp:

Saw you get onto the podium in my hotel (lol)

I don't know the exact solution, but it ended in F R U R' U' F' U2 and it had this cross solution: z2 y D2 B' U' R' y; R' F R


EDIT: I found 3 different PLL skip solutions on this scramble so I guess this scramble is blessed with PLL skips or something

I'm switching to the gan 13 now, as these solves were all done on that cube.

Counting 1.02, and 1.13 is very pro.

Recon cause why not:

Solve 1:
L2 // CLL layer with cancellation into CLL
U' L U' L' U2 L U' // CLL

Solve 2:
z2
L' U' L' // EG-1 face
U2 R U' R' U R U' R2' F' R F U // EG-1

Solve 3:
x' z
U' L U L' U L2 F L' U2 // Face made by doing R F'cancelled into EG-1 algorithm

Solve 4:

This is what I tried to do:

x z2
F L U' L' // EG-1 face
F' R F R2 U R' U' R U R' // EG-1 algorithm


I locked up on the EG-1 algorithm badly and DNFed

Solve 5:

This is what I tried to do:

z2 y
F U' L2 // CLL layer cancelled into CLL
F L' U R U' R' U R U' R' U R U2 R' // CLL

I ended up messing up and DNFing again.

The CLL on this solve is very hard to execute so I am not suprised that I messed it up.
