Improvments

The video's not quite clear enough. To me it looked like you used hella sexy moves during f2l, but that could've just been the vid quality. Practice. Get a guhong. Practice cross blindfolded. Reduce rotations during f2l, insert from all angles, not just front right. Learn some OLLs if you want, practice pll recognition.
 
cross, F2L,... well that's all you need, eventualy some pretty fast fingertricks for OLLs and PLLs, but I guess F2L is the most important thing on whole solve (not just for you, I guess for everybody)
 
to me 5.xy is pretty reasonable with Ortega, it's the wall i hit with Ortega before I really wanted to learn something more. Many fast 2x2 cubers can get 4.xy averages or even some high 3.xys which is pretty amazing. CLL is ghey though. I thought it was cool when i started learning it, but it's ghey.
 
I go through 2x2 phases, which certainly doesn't help me get any faster. I know Rowan can sub4 ortega easily, makes me sick. I'm going to be doing a lot of 2x2 before this competition in Dayton, you'd think that sub6ing ortega wouldn't be too hard, but for me to be consistent at it, it is. My best average with ortega is sub5, but that was a rolling average and I think a majority of the solves were easier solves.
