So about national pyra finals I feel like it's very unlikely that I make it now cuz 16th in psych sheet is consistently sub 4 with a 2.6 pr average

1. drill ur plls
2. i think a better angle would be better for judging

like which angle?

Yea you should do another angle, the angle should be like where the timer is, or like what you see on the cube, record to see the same, also record at least an ao5

 

[bldcuber314]

like which angle?

Try having the camera behind you, so we can see as close as we can to what you can see.

ok I see a lot you could improve on starting with cross
1. Your cross building doesn't seem that efficient (maybe i could tell if you changed the angle a bit) 8 moves should be the MAXIMUM amount of moves for cross. JPerm and CubeHead have a video for this. Also, try not to regrip during cross and make sure you influence the next cross piece. Planning your cross with no pauses while being efficient is the kind of solution you want to go for.

2. F2L improvement. If you aren't comfortable with intuitive F2L, I suggest you focus on becoming comfy with that before starting advanced F2L.

3. Lookahead is key for F2L as it makes sure you have little to no pauses. Slow solves while not looking at the F2L case you are doing will help. Learning advanced F2L will make it so that you can solve it in one algorithm. Once you learned advanced F2L, try doing pairs blindfolded (or just close your eyes) to improve your confidence in your F2L. Look at JPerm and Cubehead's videos about this.

4. Drill PLL. Try drilling your PLLs as fast as you can. You will probably lock up at first which is where you can try to be accurate AND turn as fast as you can. Turn slowly to increase accuracy at first, then speed up the turning.

Hope this helped!
