Garf's Progression Thread - Beating Hard Levels in GD (Hardest is Bloodbath)

[gsingh]

Learned OPA for 4x4. Am now addicted to 4x4.
Learned some more I PLLs for mega. Close to finishing cases with at least a bar. Leaves Ls (headlights) and Xs (literally nothing to tell me what the heck the case is except for checker patterns).
I am practicing 3x3, 4x4, big cubes, and mega.

4x4 is just way too addicting...
What method did you learn for OPA? I use Ari's method.

Time to unwatch this thread...

Spoiler

I'll stay as long as you keep on doing 4x4

 

[Running for cube]

Yes

Is it hard to learn? I haven't done 4x4 in a while, and feel I should be better for my 5x5 skill level.

I don't know how I feel about clock. I got it because why the hell not.

It's basically tracing through the wings to determine whether the cube is in an even state (no parity) or an odd state (parity).

My first speedsolve with OPA!!! It was a success, as there was no parity.

I was telling myself whether there was odd or even with audio, so that helped.

In inspection?

In inspection?

yes watch the video about the method he uses

Ari with the ARP tracing.

 

[Garf]

good job!
how long was inspection?

Under 30 seconds. I don't care about inspection right now, it will be brought down as I practice.

Noo, not the ShengShou!

funnily enough, one of the competitors i was judging was still using a rubiks clock (they were getting 8s so they were good) wonder if it was a preference or something

Low-budget man. Also, I'm getting it to just have it.
I think.
