How do I learn Orozco corners??? (Yann1qua12DagOat's progression thread)

Nevermind that! I just got a PB of 5:37.58!!!!!
@bldcuber314 I really want to get better at doing basic Old Pochmann by the end of January, but afterwards what method should I learn? Is M2 the way to go or Orozco? I could only find JPerm tutorials and the Orozco one was pretty hard to understand so could you maybe give me a couple of recommendations?

I use M2/OP(not recommending to stick with it for that long, but probably the best method to learn for now)
 
It took 2 and a half months for me to beat my PB 5x5 single.... and this one could've probably been sub-1:20 (first solve of the day btw)!

Learn M2 for edges, you can get sub-3 with just that (speaking from experience)

Thank you for the quick replies!
I will certainly learn M2 once I'm comfortable with Old Pochmann, and maybe even Orozco for corners (if I have time before my comp in March).

Holy...
0/8 successes for my 3BLD practise today :(
2 sub-4:30 attempts, one was 2 flipped corners away and one was 2 flipped edges away :( :( :( :( :(

I'm seriously asking myself what is wrong with this j32oiy 320[pi'2 y9023toipyb 892p3tubp y98u3by8oiwlbhi foi23yi3ql;buhw3obi ht2k h;bpo2o

Completely normal blind experience. It's not you; it's the event(s). Keep trying!
 
Ok so two good things and one annoying thing...
I got my first 2 successes of the day first and second try, and then I got THIS insane scramble:
U2 R F2 L D2 L' U2 R' B2 R' F2 L2 D' F D L' R2 F2 D' L'
I got a 3:22 DNF out of my first ever mo3 nooooooo

I have NO CLUE how I managed to mess up exec because I checked and I memoed it right with 7 FRIGGIN LETTERS ON EDGES

and i messed up on edges
But next time I will cook 💯
 
I completed 50 solves in my cstimer session.... and only succeeded on 14 of them 💀
For some reason, I seem to constantly be doing stuff wrong. I'm going to do some practise where I scramble the cube, go through my solve, then when I see that it's a DNF (because my DNF percentage is literally 72%😭) I will write down my letter pairs on a word document and go through the scramble manually to see what I did wrong.

I hope this helps a bit because I want to learn M2 in the next week or maybe even the next 2 weeks (if I keep selling like I am right now it'll take another month probably).

that sounds exhausting
 
Pure sub-1:30 5x5 mo3?!?!?!? That was nuts
(by the way the first solve was PB)

So I just did a "comp simulation" for all the event's that I'm doing next weekend so that I could see approximately what I should expect (I will be expecting half a second slower for short events and at least a second slower for 4x4 simply because it's a real comp next week), and it went really well - here are the stats:

For megaminx I got a 2:12 and a PB of 1:56!!!! (btw the reason why I didn't do an ao5 is because I won't make the cutoff most likely)

Pyraminx was a 10.5 ao5

2x2 was around 4.30 or so

OH was terrible - 32.5 or something like that
 
I cooked so hard in the comp!!!
For 2x2 I got a sub-5 average with a 3.34 single!
For 3x3 I got a 14.2 average and 11.6 single
For 4x4 I got a 41 single and a 50.1 average!
For pyraminx I got... something (I don't really care about it so yeah)
For megaminx I got 2:06 (3rd best time) and nearly made the cutoff with that but couldn't quite)
For OH I got a 28 average and a 24 single (absolutely crazy!!!)
 
Bro the goofiest OH average (first and last solves were PB)

I feel like I'm just wasting my time...
Today I practised BLD for well over 1 and a half hours, and expected to see some good results - at least a couple of successes and then do some corners and edges only practise.
The reality is I DNF'd 8 solves (took me 45 mins or so) and got around 4/15 edges only solves and pretty much the same for corners only
For some reason I am always either one piece away (flipped edge or corner) or I manage to mess up the corners exec.
I was learning how to do M2 for the last week or so, meaning this was my first practise session in a while, and I am using M2 in my solves.

Whyyyyyyy do I have 14/55 on my cstimer session I swear something is not working
