[Member Intro] Hi from Hong Kong! :D

[carolikx]

So I just read a few self introductions from our fellow cubers and it's only now that I realise how slow I actually am
I learnt to solve the cube six years ago when I was ten, but I didn't really get into speedcubing until two years ago, after realising that the beginner's method isn't the only method and that there are actually a lot more you can do with the cube. So I learnt CFOP, but I never really got the time to practise.
I finally got my first sub 30 about one and a half years after learning CFOP, and my first sub 20 a few months ago, after getting a Moyu Guanlong.
And I just got a new pb earlier today!! (less than an hour after I registered to this site ahaha)
My current pb is 13.81 and I have an average of about 24-25
I'm planning on getting a new 4x4 and 5x5 cus the ones I have now are pretty bad
My goals are to improve on the larger cubes and also on blindfolded solving

Welcome to the forums!

Your times aren't that slow really it's just that the people who post time tend to be he fastest ones.

Hope you enjoy your time here

Well, I guess I'm still a rather slow learner compared to many other cubers cus it took me a lot more time to reach this speed. Thanks btw

What's the fastest method for blindfolded solving? Or am I supposed to head somewhere else for an answer?
I'm still not too familiar with this forum yet

Nah it's okay for now.
If you have the patience to learn a few algs (about 10 i think), learn M2 for edged and Old Pochmann for corners, if you decide to do that I would recommend Noah Arthurs(NoahCubes)' tutorial on youtube. Otherwise you can use OP for both edges and corners(which only requires 4 algorithms to be decently fast), you can learn that directly from Stefan Pochmann's website.
Hope this helped ^^

Welcome. 24-25 is definitely not slow. Congrats on the new PB!

I used to use another method which I don't know the name of, but I watched the tutorial by Noah cubes a few weeks ago and it is the method I currently use. I just checked out Stefan Pochmann's webpage and seems like it's quite useful. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks so much!

Nei Ho! (I think that is hello in Cantonese)

24-25 is almost as fast as me, so I don't think you're slow

Yup it is!
Nei ho ma? (How are you?)
