Is EG-1 hard to learn? I might learn soon

I'd say it's easier than full OLL.

Most algorithms are short, and many of them flow well, making them even easier to memorize.

I just got a PB average of 12, except this time I got it on cam

Here it is uncut so you know I didn't fake this:

Dude, you are getting really good! Can't wait to see what the future holds!

Ok, so over the past few days, I decided to try the YJ MGC Elite, and it is my new 2x2 main now.
I feel like it is the right speed for me. It definitely takes a lot (I mean a lot) of getting used to though.

I am going to an unofficial competition in an hour and a half.

It is an event that is meant to help introduce cubing to an elementary school

 

[Discomantis]

Ok, so I setup my Valk 2M 2x2 and it is my new main 2x2.

I will probably stick with this one for now.

(I've switched my main 2x2 way too much lately.)

 

[Discomantis]

So I probably just had the rarest thing happen to me




I got this scramble

The time was a +2 btw


A month earlier, I got this scramble:

These scrambles have the EXACT SAME solution!!!

And they are both 4 movers!

 

[JDAW6]

This happened to me once (me bein* an idiot deleted the scram)
it was the exact same scramble with the same colours and solution and it was in the same day within 50 solves,
also u don’t have to believe me cuz I know u wont

I believe you
I very often clear entire sessions when I start doing badly
I do it out of habit sometimes

What… that would be like deleting all of ur bad solves . U shouldn’t do this, this is really bad cheating

Not really. If you do a session of 25 bad solves there is no reason to save them. If you did a 3x3 session today and you were averaging 25 would you keep the session?


@Discomantis what is your 2x2 PB single?

I mean yeha I delete any solves that is really bad

 

[Discomantis]

@Discomantis what is your 2x2 PB single?

0.48

I am now done with EG-1!

Nice! I just started learning EG-1 yesterday. What would you say is the easiest set to start with? I started with H, as that is what I did for CLL, but I wanted to know what you think.

I'd say start with the L cases
Pi is probably the second easiest subset after that

Alright, thanks!

Try these scrams

Scrams 2-6 are pb avg

I'll try them sometime later today

@JDAW6
Ok, so I didn't start the timer on solve 3, so this
average is technically a DNF

Here is the average without the DNF

Also counting 5 is kinda sad
