My Quest for Sub 8 Petrus

[Deleted member 36445]

I'm more interested in the solving, don't know about you though

 

[PetrusQuber]

is it possible for you to post a video?

it’s been a while, but sure!

I’ll probably do it on the weekend when I have time, and am actually warmed up
how many solves?

also I’m still confused about the sad faces

 

[Deleted member 36445]

how many solves?

whatever you decide

Community Feedback: how can the site improve?

I think a useful thing would be to allow more than 520 charecters for profile posts. It's really not enough at all.

@PetrusQuber How's it going? I've just recently gotten back into cubing from over a year hiatus and I've gone from 14-15 global to 16-18 2h and somehow the same oh. I remember scrolling these forums like mad back when in I was a serious grinder so just thought of checking in.

not really cubing actively anymore unfortunately, went back up to around 15 for 3x3 average. GL with improving your average though!

I feel like it would be VERY hard to achieve even sub 12 with Petrus. Other methods have much more potential and have many more resources. There are hardly any videos on Petrus but quite a few more for CFOP being the most popular. Then Roux being the second most popular has a decent amount of videos. And then ZZ being Third has a few videos on it. I feel like you should switch to ZZ or Roux because there are still this block building elements to them so you would not be horrible using them at the start.

Maybe try implement pseudo-2x2x2 (if possible), colour neutrality isnt that good. (read jayden mcneills blog on it), and increase tps?

Idk im just giving suggestions


(pls dont bash me )

colour neutrality isnt that good. (read jayden mcneills blog on it)

could you summarize for me or link the blog?

 

[OreKehStrah]

could you summarize for me or link the blog?

It was basically about worlds 19 and how Sean and the Weyer brothers were the podium and weren’t CN. The idea was you had more time to focus on your solution and that you get more familiar with the pieces and where they belong.
In a later conversation I had with him about it he was like man that was silly of me and said he thinks dual cross is the minimum people should be using.

Learning Petrus for me was a good idea. It was fun and I really like the way the solves go.

- First Ao5 in 5 years, barely sub 30
- Forgotten every LL alg except for the U perms, the A perm and sune
- I kind of want to learn them again
- So I’m back to cubing for a little bit
- Sub 20 soon?

Edit: I reached sub-12 using COLL + EPLL, was there an actual advantage compared to using OCLL + PLL?

Unless you drill it a lot, COLL and EPLL is going to take longer than OCLL and PLL as I think that corner recognition can be quite difficult - if you have the time, the best option would probably be to go back to the point you mentioned before of learning ZBLL.

I think that corner recognition isn’t inherently harder than edge recognition; I remember having to switch my brain from recognizing corners to recognizing edges when going from beginner’s method to 2-look PLL and then again when learning 1-look PLL and thinking it was harder. I can’t really say anything for recognizing orientation and permutation in the same step though.

I think I'll just learn both for now, and see where it goes. The PLL came back pretty easily, haven't started on COLL yet.

Would this be the progression thread with the most messages?

 

[PetrusQuber]

- Working on relearning LL algs
- Trying to inspect the 2x2x2 fully in every solve
- Deciding on dual CN vs full CN this week

Would this be the progression thread with the most messages?

It's the first progression thread ever, so pretty likely!

 

[AJT17]

Would this be the progression thread with the most messages?

The most messages ever would me JDAW6's thread, with nearly 2,400 messages. Though it's debatable with how off topic it got, as to whether everyone would agree it's the most messaged progression thread.

Here is new progression thread, and yeah.


so today I did alot of 3x3 solves but I kinda am averaging a lot slower but hope to get ao100 back to sub15. Here is the t8mes for 2day

Otherwise, there is gsingh's, which has nearly 1,700 messages. And it's less controversial than JDAW6's, but his is still technically the most messaged one. Though there are a small handful of other threads that have over the 1,200 messages in this thread, this one is still up there.

UPDATED 9/20/2024
Hi, I'm gsingh. I'm a speedcuber from Northern California who learned how to solve a cube in 2019. I have been speedcubing since January 2021. My main events are 3x3 and 4x4, and I also do 5x5 sometimes. I'm currently also grinding 2x2, and it has become a main event now. (I used to also practice 6/7/OH, but I don't anymore). I average around 7.1 seconds on 3x3. My goal is to become world champion in 3x3 and 4x4.

My averages and methods for all of the WCA events that I know how to do:
2x2: 2.8, CLL (learning EG1)
3x3: 7.1, CFOP
4x4: 32, Yau
5x5: 1:07, Yau
6x6: 2:35, Yau...

Bought an RS3M V5 (maglev, ball-core), so that's been pretty fun! Mainly focusing on the 2x2x2 and PLL this week.

Current Goals (reaching sub-15):
- Inspect the full 2x2x2 in every solve CURRENT
- Aim to solve every 2x2x2 in 7 moves or less CURRENT
- Aiming for sub-1.5 2x2x2 CURRENT
- Learn full PLL CURRENT
- Learn two-sided PLL recognition using the BH method CURRENT
- Aiming for sub-5 LL CURRENT

 

[PetrusQuber]

A sub-22 Ao12 is pretty good, considering I'm still using 2-look PLL for some cases! The 13.37 had a very easy 2x2x3, then an OCLL skip at the end.
