The fact that you got these all on one day is crazy, mon frère.

At the end is pb ao5 lol, first sub-4 min

My success rate rn is about 1/2, so I hope to practice more and get my success rate up. My memorization is pretty slow, it's been getting faster though (takes me ~40-50s for corners and 1 min for edges + repeating corners again). I think I'm gonna make my own letter pair spreadsheet to help with audio memorization for edges.

Also I'm like sub2.5 on 2x2 now, didn't learn any new eg-1s (still getting used to the algs and getting recog up). My tracing has gotten a bit better, and 560/3200 solves in my session are sub2.
 
Okay I've been dormant for a while on the forums but I'm still actively grinding
As always I'm grinding 2x2 (passed 4k solves in my stackmat session ) but I also grinded a bit of mega
Anyway here are some 2x2 new pbs

includes the pb ao12

For mega, I somehow dropped my average from ~1:40 to sub 1:20 within like 10 solves and a youtube video, and my pb single is 1:04.91, so I'll be grinding for that sub-1 soon.

I'm still doing 3x3 on and off because I'm hovering around flat 10 for a while now and I'm kinda bored of the event, so I'm also focusing more on 3bld. I'm averaging pretty consistently at the 3 min to 4 min range. My memo and exec is pretty even, so I'll need to work on creating a letter pairs sheet and memorizing them, and learning new methods.

can't remember solution womp

anyway I just checked today, I have more sub-10 solves than 10+ solves!!

Bad news, my tornado v3 is broken.
RIP and thanks for the 6000+ solves I've completed with you.

I'm thinking of getting a Moyu cube this time, but I can't decide between a couple of options: WRM v9, WRM v10, and the Super Weilong. Do you guys have any suggestions? Thanks

Rs3m v5 Ballcore UV probably either WRM v9 Ballcore or 20 mag Ballcore Wrm V10. Super weilong too expensive to purchase.

Huh, I don't know why the Super Weilong is 99 bucks on Cubicle, it's less than 40 bucks here, and the WRMs are both a bit over 20 bucks, so I should be able to afford it

Disregarding the price, is the Super Weilong better than the WRM 9 or 10?
