Journey To Becoming The Fastest Anthony In OH (Grinding for SRs)

[AJT17]

I just relearned my Z perm to M U M2 U M2 U M U2 M2, and it has made it a lot faster, and I find Z perms more enjoyable now.

 

[AJT17]

What is the set of algorithms that solve the last F2L pair and makes the cross? Also would it be worth learning it.

 

[AJT17]

I think I might have found the algorithm set. I think it is VHLS and I think I will start practicing it.

This was a surprise to say the least
I got a huge pb ao12, my previous best was 14.991
I am very happy with this, but the 18 and 16 second solves made this a little bit worse

VHLS isn't worth it imo, ZBLS is the better version.

How much more difficult is ZBLS, and do you have any alg sheets I could look at?

[AJT17]

thing I made

So ZBLS is basically making the cross while solving the last F2L in any case, as opposed to VHLS only being a paired F2L case and cross.

I just completed an epic number of solves, and here are my averages for it

yo nice

 

[Cuber.Hello.com(:]

I guess the time has come to do a progression thread. I currently average around 17 to 19 seconds, and I know all PLL but the G perms, and I know 2 look OLL with 3 other OLL algs memorized. I really think I should learn the G perms and get it over with, and I am unsure what I should do with OLL. My cross execution is somewhat decent, but I struggle with planning everything during inspection. Also my F2L is not that good, I think, I struggle with tracking pieces, and looking for other pairs when solving another pair. Any tips and other help would be greatly appreciated.

If you used a F2L tutorial on YouTube, stop it. I tried doing that, but it was confusing, hard to follow, and just hard to follow altogether. I quit that and taught myself how to do it. I'm not averaging as much as you are, but my F2L is definitely fast.

I also struggled with watching F2L videos, so I have been trying to find optimal solutions for each case on my own, and I think I have gotten better since the start of this thread.

Me realizing I said "Hard to follow" after I already put it up.

Well, I mean, this thread WAS started a while ago.

Me realizing I forgot to put twice after "'Hard to follow.'"

what's your f2l split?

 

[Cuber.Hello.com(:]

what's your f2l split?

My what?

 

[AJT17]

It hasn't been that long, only 3 months, but I have been making many improvements throughout those 3 months.

 

[Arcanist]

My what?

how long does it take you to do f2l

 

[Cuber.Hello.com(:]

3 months is kinda a while. But yeah. I wish I could improve that quickly too.

how long does it take you to do f2l

If I'm lucky, about 9 seconds. Unlucky, about 16.

thats actually pretty good but i feel like watching a few youtube videos could make you more consistent

I used an f2l tutorial...
