I think my LL is decent, so I should focus on cross and F2L now. I've heard a lot of people saying that planning cross + 1 during inspection is very helpful, but I'm having trouble tracking pieces and sometimes lookahead as well, so do you guys have any suggestions or tips on how to improve those aspects?

You guys probably just are slower at OLL and PLL. I remember back when I averaged around 13 I could consistently do F2L in 6-8 seconds and I realize that that meant it took me 5ish seconds to do OLL and PLL. I really worked on transitioning from F2L to OLL and not doing U3s or something dumb, and then I worked on PLL recognition so I could go right into the alg. The process lowered my times by around 2.5 seconds and that's mostly why I'm sub-10 now.

Dual color neutrality really helps with cross + 1, so definitely work on that if you're not dual cn yet
Also good to see you back
Any tips on how to get used to a different color cross? Or just spam solves on yellow crossDual color neutrality really helps with cross + 1, so definitely work on that if you're not dual cn yet
Also good to see you back

Yeah just grind yellow cross solves, it shouldn't take that long for your averages to get close to your averages on white cross (maybe a couple of weeks).
Holy crap guys, this is like so shocking and unbelievable, but after only about a week of grinding, my cross + F2L times have improved so much.
Every time I go out, I would just bring a cube and spam casual solves on it, and I think it really paid off! I think my tps and lookahead have both gone up as well.

Every time I go out, I would just bring a cube and spam casual solves on it, and I think it really paid off! I think my tps and lookahead have both gone up as well.

You have no idea how shocked I was until I realised it was only cross + F2L...
Ok, haven't had an update in a while now cuz last week I was in Japan for vacation.
I'm currently averaging flat 10 (10.0-10.1) and I can't find any ways to improve. For reference, the time trend below shows that the last ~1000 solves are almost all around the 10s mark, but I can't get it to drop any lower.
I have noticed that in my F2L solutions I rotate a lot, is there any way to fix that problem? Another thing is for OLL and PLL recognition I usually take around 0.3-0.4 seconds for recog, so how should I work to improve my recog?

It depends how much you rotate. I would say between 0 and 1 rotations per pair is where you want to aim for sub-10. The best way to do this is to do slow solves where you focus on your solutions, and then when you feel ready you can go back to fast solves implementing what you learned. You can also watch example solves. Planning first pair also helps as you get time to think about what solution you will do for your first pair.
Yeah, I'm struggling a bit on cross + 1, and I think the main problem is I don't know which pair to focus on first (I would usually take time on 2 or even 3 pairs before deciding on which one to implement). For those people who can do cross+1 consistently under 15 seconds of inspection, do you have any tips?
Big update!!!!!
I (finally) got a stackmat!!
From now on I'll be doing timed solves on stackmat, and I'll start new sessions for all events that I practice
Anyway here's a quick 3x3 ao50 I did just now
Another major thing is I just checked wca, and comps in China are opening back up after a super long hiatus during covid, which means I can finally compete! I'm still waiting for a comp near Shanghai (or in Shanghai preferably), there are a couple upcoming ones nearby but they're a bit too far, so I'll check the wca website frequently for updates.
Also, can anyone recommend a cube that doesn't lock up a lot and is around 10-15 bucks?

I'm still waiting for a comp near Shanghai (or in Shanghai preferably), there are a couple upcoming ones nearby but they're a bit too far, so I'll check the wca website frequently for updates.
Also, can anyone recommend a cube that doesn't lock up a lot and is around 10-15 bucks?

The GuHong Pro is a good cube in that price range, but if you're willing to pay a bit more, the RS3M V5 ($25) is probably the best cube right now.
Do you recommend the maglev version for both? Also, for the RS3M V5 is UV good? Cuz without UV theres like an 8 buck price difference

For the V5, the reason there is an 8 dollar difference is because the UV version also has a ball core. This is the version I recommend getting. For the GuHong Pro, I would probably get the maglev version.
I can finally buy cubes by myself now, only trouble is making sure it arrives without my parents seeing (theyre always against me buying new cubes for some reason lol)
Anyway the cubes on my checklist right now are:
RS3M V5 maglev UV version
YJ MGC4
Yuhu megaminx
Gan 251m pro (funny thing, during my vacation to japan my mom asked me to help her bring a piece of dead coral she found on the beach back to china, so i put it in my bag. when i got home i realized she didnt wash the coral at all and now theres dust and sand in my xmd flare now lol)
There are some other options I can consider, like the Weilong WRM, Dayan megaminx, or the MGC megaminx
If anyone has any suggestions please tell me! I'll do some more research and then make a final decision later
