First time hearing about downsolving, good luck lolI just realised I've never tried downsolving before, so I think I'm gonna see how low my PB scramble can go (same solution ofc)! My goal is sub-5.

Hey, I just wanted to point out something I noticed in your solution that probably could have gotten rid of that lock up and made it a faster solve in general,Sub-7 fail
B' F2 D2 F' D2 U2 R2 B' R2 F' R2 L' D2 L B F2 R' U2 L
x2 D R2 D' F' L F' // X-cross
L' U L // Pair #2
y L' U L U' L' U L // Pair #3
U2 R' U' R // Pair #4
R U R' U R U' R' U' R' F R F' // OLL
r' D' F r U' r' F' D r2 U r' U' r' F r F' // PLL
// Locked up on Nb
I also found that swapping pairs 3 & 4 gives a worse OLL but a Ja which is very consistent. Unfortunately you can't change what happens in the heat of the moment, in an ideal world I would've been able to predict and avoid diag CP.Hey, I just wanted to point out something I noticed in your solution that probably could have gotten rid of that lock up and made it a faster solve in general,
Your solutions for the X-cross and pair #2 are good but there was something on your 3rd pair that you could have done better, instead of doing y L' U L U' L' U L you could have done R U R' U' F R' F' R, then you would do a y' U' L' U L for your 4th pair. Now for oll you can do U2 M' U M U2 M' U M. Then you have an Rb perm which is a much easier algorithm to complete than a Nb perm.
Cool, I would just recommend constantly working on small things like sledges and wide moves in f2l so that when the time comes you can make amazing use out of any scramble that you seeI also found that swapping pairs 3 & 4 gives a worse OLL but a Ja which is very consistent.

Also, I generally try to avoid doing hedgeslammers in the F2L solutions for now because I find them a little awkward compared to just rotating (same goes for f/f' R/R'/R2 f/f' to avoid rotating, it's a little awkward)
Yup, it's all part of the F2L improvement I need to have for sub-10 so gotta keep experimenting!Cool, I would just recommend constantly working on small things like sledges and wide moves in f2l so that when the time comes you can make amazing use out of any scramble that you see
I do r' ROh btw how do you guys fingertrick the M move in OLL 28 (r U R' U' M U R U' R')
I'm doing it with my right pinkie but it can be a little inconsistent.

In one of Jperm's videos he said when he was starting to practice predicting first pair or xcross it took him around 1:30 to inspect. He said don't try to do it in 15 seconds, just take however long you would like to inspect. Then try starting to reduce your inspection time until you can do it under 15 seconds.Alright so a little update because you won't be seeing any timed progress for a bit...
I spent a while today trying to force X-cross / cross + 1, choosing between white/yellow cross because I want to be x2y CN. I'm getting better at knowing where the pieces will be, but I'm not able to do it with my eyes closed or under 15 seconds yet, which will probably take a lot of practice.

Is your cross + 1 practice predicting first pair after cross or x-cross?I have kept on going with the cross + 1 practice, and I have a question:
So, the way I do cross + 1 is finding a corner that goes to the top layer, then tracking the pair. But what do I do if no corners will end up in the top? This has a 1/16 chance of happening I think so it's relatively common.
Do I try and change the cross, which would waste a lot of time as finding out that no corners are in the top layer takes time?
Or do I just go with it, pick a corner and track the pair?
OR do I switch to yellow cross and hope the 1/256 chance that those corners are also in the bottom layer doesn't happen?
