Discomantis's progression thread | On the bigBLD grind

[Discomantis]

Okay, so I did another FMC attempt today.

I ended up getting a 53.

However, I am actually very happy with this solve! I ended up successfully saving myself from a DNF, and my strategy of writing down a CFOP solution at the start worked very well!

Thus, I am quite happy with this solve and the way that I managed my time at the end!

Nice FMC result! My best is like 70, because I suck at FMC.

Thanks! My current goal is to get a sub-40 mean

 

[Discomantis]

Okay, so I did another FMC attempt this morning. This will most likely be my final attempt in preparation for the competition.

I ended up running out of time again, but with my CFOP solution that was written at the start, I managed to clutch up and get a 57!

I am also very happy with this solve, as my goal for the comp is to get an FMC mean!

This makes my mo3 49.57.

(39, 53, 57)

7x7 PB single by 40 seconds!
I will be practicing a bit of 7x7 for the Empire State Special competition. I want to get a 6x6 and 7x7 mean, but I also want to have time left for some other events. Considering the fact that I never do 7x7 solves, I want to get more consistent on my 7x7 times.

 

[BVCuber13]

Congrats on the new PB, @Discomantis! I signed up for the same comp, so see you there

Cool. I will say that (as someone who averages just shy of 6 minutes that the fastest way to improve is by practicing first two centers. Making sure that pauses are limited is the fastest way to improve, and you can practice this by doing F2C over and over again. If you use Redux, you can switch up your centers so that color neutrality is easier. Also, using your inspection to plan first bar and some extra is vital for improving by 5-10 seconds.

Thanks!

I was just reading through this thread. About a year ago, I asked what CLLs should I learn… and I’ve still not learned any.

 

[BVCuber13]

I suggest you start learning them soon. If you want to become even remotely good at 2x2 by world-class standards, (which might be sub-1.5 soon) then with the method you’re probably using (and I might be using too lol) you won’t get there anytime soon without learning some new alg sets.
