Grinding for sub 1 Mega

 

[OreKehStrah]

This is where I'm going to post my ZBLL/ZBLS progress.
I started the U cases yesterday, and my goal is to finish the U cases in 1 month.
My schedule is as follows:
Monday-Friday: Learn 5-10 algs a day, drill them for at least 1 hour after leaned.
Saturday: Drill each subset individually
Sunday: Drill the whole set together.

If you run into cases you don’t like the algs, post the case numbers and I’ll gen algs. Good luck!

Thanks!

About to leave for a 2 week vacation, hope to learn about 20 algs on the plane.

What cube will you be using? I hope it's not a Rubik's brand.

I have a Mystic WR M 2019 that I love for learning algs. I'm actually writing this from a layover lol. I learned a whopping 0 algs on my first flight...

 

[Eli Apperson]

Learned 4 Algs this morning, and I started using a new recog method for U zbll cases

 

[Eli Apperson]

I learned 2 algs today, and I started getting the weird phase where I can't remember algs I learned a few days ago. I'm going to drill the first U subset as a whole tomorrow. I'm also getting a GAN XS tomorrow so that could be a new main...

 

[Eli Apperson]

I've not done a lot, but I will be taking a break from cubing this next week bc of a camping trip. I'll check back in next week.

So, I decided ZBLL was a tad ambitious, so I'm going to be casually learning it while putting more effort into COLL. I finished the U cases today, and will start T tomorrow. I think I should be able to learn it in about 1-2 weeks.

i've been told that most COLLs aren't worth it. Basically just learn all of U, and T(except for the 19 move monstrosity), and a few L cases

I am probably going to stop using a chunk of colls in my solves, and only do the good ones

Yeah I'm not learning H, Sune, or Anti-Sune.

Just beat my PB single by .03 making it 9.44 fullstep.

Depending on your PLL skill, it can be worth using 2 algs for each of the OCLLs so you can avoid diag PLL

but the opposite pi case is a trash coll

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

The zoomer alg is good. But also you don’t have to solve the CP with the COLL, just have two to avoid getting diag

Theoretically you can have enough of ollcp by learning 98 algs (skip dot cases).

 

[Eli Apperson]

Just beat my PB again with 8.57 with a 4 move X-cross.

Just got a MAX GAN XS, and after about 100 solves I'm definitely preferring it over the 11 M and normal XS. I'll probably do a few more hundred solves, and if it stays the same it will probably be my new main.

First Ao5 with Hoya: 3:08.29

First sub 2 5x5 single ever, day 2 after switching to hoya
1:55.23

 

[Eli Apperson]

Been grinding 5x5 a lot, finally sub 2.
