Geographicalcuber's progression thread - Road to full L4E (28/36 cases learnt, 2 learning) // New goal - National pyra finals?

[GeographicalCuber]

This is my new progression thread, and these are my current goals:

•Full l4e (I am learning nothing placed)

•Getting decent at 3-BLD

Sub 3.5 pyra

LAST EDITED: 29/07/2024

This is my new progression thread, and these are my current goals:

•Full CFOP (I am learning OLL and have nearly finished PLL except for g-perms)

•Learning 3-BLD

•Sub-30 sq-1

You should finish pll before starting OLL

I think we're at the same point, I know 17 PLLs and 2 look OLL with a few extra OLLs. I'm focused more on CLL for 2x2 though.

Yes, we are at the same point.

UPDATES:

I have learnt Ga and Gb perms and am practising their finger tricks currently.

Good luck learning 3BLD.

Do try intuitive 3-style.

 

[GeographicalCuber]

Updates:

I have finished learning full PLL and I will not be learning any more algs in the next week as I have a comp next weekend.

I just got my competition groups for Bolton spring and I'm scrambling Sq-1 for the first time.!

 

[GeographicalCuber]

My focus in alg learning has switched to L4E for pyraminx after coming 8th in praminx at Bolton spring and realising that i could possibly podium with L4E

I'm going to assume you accidentally copied all the code from your computer. I can mostly make sense of it though!

 

[Bingus cuber]

With learning L4E, I would suggest learning intuitive first as you get used to the V, then learn some algs for bad cases on intuitive, so you get used to algs on a Pyraminx.

I have a comp in 3 weeks so I might focus on intuitive before that, then focus on the full version until my next comp at the end of june

 

[GeographicalCuber]

@Bingus cuber can U link a good intuitive l4e tutorial? There are quite a few that go about it differently and I don't know which one to follow.

 

[Bingus cuber]

Z3 cubings is good, but really any is good. It’s not to hard to learn, but z3cubing is prob the best

 

[Cubist-Guitar]

I think there are several good intuitive L4E tutorials out there. That said, I like Cube Master’s, because I like the tone of his voice while learning stuff, unlike Z3Cubing.

 

[That_slow_guy]

That’s the one I learned

 

[GeographicalCuber]

Just realised I don't even have pyra at my next but I might as well practice intuitive anyway.
