Jam88's Quest to be the next Feliks Zemdegs - Week 1 | Restarting, 4x4 PB

[GAN CUBER]

yup

 

[Jam88]

OK thanks! Also, would you say that MGC Elite is a good 2x2?

YJ MGC2 Elite M - The UK #1 Speed Cube Shop | KewbzUK

The YJ MGC 2x2 is the latest magnetic cube in the MGC line of puzzles. It features an internal edge-center design which has never been seen in a factory magnetised mass-produced 2x2. The center-edge magnetic design creates a very distinct magnetic feel and we expect big things from the YJ MGC 2...

Its not really been going too great on the 3x3 front. I have just gotten a bit sick of the event, mostly because of my cube (don't get the GTS2M EVER). This week I'll try to focus on a bit of 2x2 and maybe some pyra if I feel like it. Let's see how it goes. Peace out.

Not yet; I need to save up a bit first.

oh ok

 

[Jam88]

OK, I just did the weekly comp again, and I'm currently (1426 BST 10/10/20) ranked 26th for this week (2020-41).
PB's?

I'm probably most proud of my 2x2, 4x4 and OH solves this time around.

 

[Jam88]

OK, pyra and 2x2 haven't been going all that well; I will probably keep going with them for another week.

OK, been kind of neglecting this for the past few weeks, back now. I have set a goal to be sub-12 by Christmas (13-14 avg on a good day), so the first step in my eyes is sub-2 all LL algs, then improving lookahead, then next week/ in 2 weeks I'll try to learn COLL. Any tips on any of this?
P.S. @LukasCubes can you give me any tips on learning COLL?

I guess you should just drill LL algs until they’re fast. Make sure they’re good ones before drilling.
COLL isn’t really that important unless you’re hardcore going to be optimising every move at an advanced level, or planning to do ZBLL (might seem hypocritical but trust me I do want to learn ZBLL), but if you want, it’s only 42 algs. Just work your way down each set and keep practising.

[Jam88]

Ok! I might have to change some OLLs then.

Good luck with that. Make sure you do atleast 100,000 solves before going to the next level ie the Feliks level.

is this a joke/sarcasm? its hard to tell online

 

[PetrusQuber]

Think it’s serious
I’ve already done 12k solves on my 3x3 session, just sub 13

 

[abunickabhi]

I am quite serious about that. The top solvers have done atleast a million solves on a 3x3.
