What you average on 2x2? I just use LBL, I don't really care about Pyra, so I forgot like 2 of the 6 algs. I average about 10 seconds. I'm attending BarbeCubing 2018 as My first ever comp.

Edit- Thanks for the congrats! It's something ive been wanting to do for some time. Let me know when you finish CLL.

At the moment for 2x2 I average anywhere in the 3 seconds for the most part, and every once and awhile I will get a bad average in the low to mid 4 seconds or a good average in the high 2 seconds. I will be sure to let you know once I complete Cll and I wish you the best at the competition.

Thanks! Is that stackmat??? That's what is killing me the most. I can often get 3.8ish with timer, but with stackmat I'm more 4.3 ish... Which CLL's do you have left? Oh my PB ao5 stackmat Is only 2.8x

Edit- My AO5 are decent, but because of some CLL recognition taking 16 seconds, but means are terrible.

My times are with stackmat and timer. I do not seem to have trouble with stackmat as I have heard some people do, but I would definitely recommend that you keep practicing stackmat solves, especially before your competition so that you are getting the same times that you are getting with timer. I have No. 4 and 6 on the L cases and No. 5 on the U cases. Also, In case you are wondering my PB Ao5 is 1.75. I got really lucky with 4 easy solves and one okay solve.

 

[Duncan Bannon]

Wow 1.75 that's tied for 22nd in the WCA. (Of course it wasn't official though) Ive probably did a few hundred (400ish) 2x2 stackmat solves. My times have improved a lot. I'm now about 50% of my Ao5 are sub 4 which is my comp goal. I plan to do one maybe two AO1000 before my comp in 3 weeks. Want to have CLL down pretty good.

Yeah I'm sick too just solving and relistening to episodes of the dlsone podcast.

Hi guys!

Hey! Just finished learning CLL. Now need to learn 4x4 OLL parity, Z perm, 2-3 Pyra algs in the next week, then practice up for my March Comp....

Some of the harder CLL's are not very fun to learn.

I agree. I started learning CLL in late Jan this year, learned 2-3 algs, quit and started working on full OLL

Have you learned full CLL? Which ones are you struggling with? Learning wasn’t fun, but I can execute them all quite fast.

Yeah I know Full CLL. I started with the easier algs so the last few were difficult.

 

[Duncan Bannon]

Oh really? I learned them by set, Sune, Anitsune, H, U, L, Pi. That way in solves I know if I know that one.What do you average now?

learning any algs isn't fun lol.

Lol.

I did it the same way. I think learning them by set is better then learning the easy ones the hard ones. That way you can use CLL trainers to practice the sets even when you don't know full CLL.

 

[Duncan Bannon]

I agree. I could never find a good CLL trainer though.... Which did you use?

I used this mostly when I was trying to learn EG-1 but then I gave up. I hate learning algs.

 

[Duncan Bannon]

Yeah, It is easier to learn them slowly in my opinion. I dont want to learn many more before my comp, but afterwards I plan to learn PLL, EG1, Or mabye Blind or Squan

I don't know where else to post this, but I just want to take a minute and promote cubecast. I'm sure most people here are aware of the Dlsone Podcast, but did you ever bother to listen to why they made it? They said cause they all liked Cubecast. It is kida like Dlsone, but older and has less hosts. Another really cool thing is you get to see how cubing was 8 years ago. Even though I have only been cubing for 3 years, I am able to tell cubers who have been cubing for longer some stuff they didn't even know. Well, I hope you check it out. http://cubecast.cubing.net/episodes.html

I have watched all the Dlsone episodes and a lot of the corner cutter podcast. I will check it out as I plan to do an ao1000 on 2x2. Thanks!

Out of curiosity, is anyone going or planning on going to US National 2018. I am going, and if there is anyone else going I think that it would be nice to have a homeschooler meet up sometime during one of the days. What do you think?
