Sorry I was responding to PetrusQuber.

But he doesn't actively say anything about it. And sounds supportive...

Unrelated to my Petrus solving, but did a Mega Ao12:
Not too bad, any suggestions to improve? I might make some more solves video, both 3x3 and Mega.

I watched a lot of Cubeskills to help me improve at Megaminx. Also watching some walkthroughs is helpful to see all the efficient things you can do.

Didn’t update for a while, haven’t been doing much active practising and my plateau is kind of irritating at the moment. Taking a break. I’m going to... Have one week with NO cubing :O. I’ll come back in a week I think, and update then. I’ll still be active here though lol. Here’s a stat screenshot:

I’ll update an ao100 in a bit

Charge you phone
Coming back from breaks is often when I break PB's.
Wow! Over 20% good job.

It’s on 26% right now, I’m doing some other things right now, so won’t be finished with the ao100 for a while

Im going for sub 15 with petrus but have trouble making efficient blocks if there arnt obvios 2x1s or 2x2s. do you have any advice?
PetrusQuber

I suggest learning a wide variety of solutions and their starting points. Here’s some things I look for:
2x2x2 already solved
2x2x1 already solved
Pair already solved
Edge already solved
Mini cross already solved (or a D move away)
Edge lined up
Figure out the best solutions when these come up
There will be different cases for each of those, which you will have to figure out. Your solutions are probably not perfect, so always keep searching for better, innovative solutions.
When you can’t find anything but the edge lined up, I suggest quickly looking to see if there are any obvious one move pairs, then check the 2 possible expansions involving the lined up edge. Pick the better one. I‘ve learnt a whole variety of situations starting from just an edge - you can solve it and use it as the line, then build the 2x2x1 to go under it, or use it as part of the 2x2x1, finding a quick way to form a pair which can match with the edge and create a 2x2x1.
Look at Tao Yu’s example solves, lar5.com , etc. In particular, look here: https://lar5.com/cube/blox.html The roundabout and pillar are two examples of when an edge is lined up (the roundabout can be used to just create pairs, but there’s almost always a better solutions, so I only use it when you can ‘catch’ another edge on the way to make the 2x2x1)

Got a Sub 16 A05! (15.45) (=
It was fairly consistent too.
15.71, 15.23, 16.17, 15.40 and 14.20(hehe)
my recog has improved alought from just practice, and i'm going to try to look ahead to more of the 2x2x3.
Also know most of COLL except bad cases and T (also not using As/S)
Im Aiming for getting Sub 16 consistently Tommarow and Sub 15 consistently in the next two weeks.
Off topic but i also modded my rubiks brand and am gonna use it over the gan xs for a backup main
(yes i hate using that cube that much)

Wait so you are using the Rubik's Brand over the GAN XS but the XS is still your main? Also I think you got the wring thread.

i think ill be able to go for sub 15 today since im averaging very low 15 but i need to warmup first
idk about this anymore, im very tired+ keep on getting distracted by videogames and youtube.
rip i think im sick definitely dont feel well enough to cube fast today.
Im going to try to do slow solves and if i really start feeling worse ill learn T Colls.
