Woe nice. Everyone starts somewhere. My first ao5 was way worse than that.

MEHTA AVG5 = 31.69

if you like mehta, try squan! they are similar things in the sense that there are lots of algs (unless you blockbuild like me).

I have a square one from 2010 it's really bad. And I don't like parity algs. So I'm pretty unmotivated to practice square one :-\
I will mostly focus on 3x3 method for now and 4x4 and megaminx in the future.

 

[Filipe Teixeira]

I'll try to dedicate a few minutes to learn a new alg each day.

In the next months I want to finish learning WV, COLL and ELL
Please don't say it is not worth it, I'm trying to have fun with learning and cubing

It's totally worth it if you're doing it for fun, cubing without having fun is pointless because it's not exactly the most productive hobby in the world. Even if it's not "worth" it to learn all those alg sets it's still useful to know them to increase your knowledge. When I get an OCLL I find it easier to predict my PLL CP even if I don't use a COLL. For WV you can predict your CO better since you'll have an understanding on what certain cases give with certain inserts.

 

[Filipe Teixeira]

I want to practice 4x4 more frequently.
Re-learnt OLL parity today and established a new PB
I have to learn an advanced method and get better with edge pairing
My former PB was 1:56.

I learnt to solve the skewb :3
I use my maple leaves but I want to buy a good skewb soon...

 

[Filipe Teixeira]

I bought this cube...
it will take 2 to 3 months to arrive though

At least you get a one-year warranty.

true
I always buy from them, the problem is our mail service. it gets in a few days here on Brazil but inside the country there are many customs and the mail service always mess it up. it takes a good while to arrive

Hi. Have you considered learning Yau?

 

[Filipe Teixeira]

Hi. Have you considered learning Yau?

yes I just want to get used to more efficient edge pairing first before moving on

 

[helloimcubedup]

Ok. I havent learnt yau yet cuz its too advanced for me cuz im sub 2:45 on 4x4
