That Square-1 scramble was the best. I remember getting it.

 

[cityzach]

hahaa yea, too bad i failed it

 

[Owen]

I average 50 on square-1, but got the luckiest scramble ever. One move cubeshape, and skipping half the edge, then skipping parity. I got 22 seconds.

For 4x4x4, definitely work on your lookahead during edge pairing. You had way too many pauses and the pauses took up too much time. I noticed that you rotate the cube while searching for edges to pair. However, I find that holding the cube in one position during the entire edge pairing process helps me find edges quicker, because the the cube is steadier.
Also, for 5x5x5, you waited 7 seconds between centers and edges, while you kept rotating the cube, so that advice applies for that cube as well.

thanks for the advice! i'll definetly try to work on it. and as for 5x5, yea ik i failed. that usually doesnt happen. usually, while im finishing up my last 2 centers, i'll c an edge and start pairing it right away, but i just didnt c anything :/
