then how how to improve recognition at CLL

When I need help recognizing a certain case, I drill the alg 2 or 3 times, study the case for about 5 minutes, then drill the alg again and repeat. I do it till I can recognize it easily while solving. I don't know if it will work for other people, but that how I learn to recognize cases.

practice

Practice. Look for patterns and bars, opposite and adjacent colours. That's the way I recognise most of my CLLs

 

[Nevan J]

I have been practising 2x2 so much for the past week, but I'm still not getting better at recognition

PM me the cases you have trouble recognising I'll show you how I recognise them. Try to be layer efficient too. What do you average rn?

 

[Nevan J]

sub-5

 

[NigelTheCuber]

Use 4 sticker recog for T and U, makes life so much easier for me

um guys, I found a cube store named Cubezz, and it has the Gan 12 Maglev UV Coated AT SUCH A LOWER COST
it even has the MGC ELITE 2x2 At a cost I have basically never seen before, so is this cube store genuine? they even provide free shipping I am actually shocked rn please is this fake or real anyone help

Yeah its legit. They just have some long af shipping times.

 

[Nevan J]

so I guess I will buy the MGC Elite from there

Well i didnt expect everyone to be a winner here

what do you mean

 

[helloimcubedup]

what do you mean

idk i was just saying random crap

 

[helloimcubedup]

sub-5

hey. thats still pretty good. i uncommonly get sub 5 solves and i rarely get sub 5 full step solves.

What method do u use

 

[helloimcubedup]

What method do u use

LBL with ortega last layer

I asked my mom if I could buy cubes from CubeZZ, and I told her how it was cheaper but would take forever to ship because it is in China. And then she cut me off and told me that "NO INDIAN FAMILY WILL SUPPORT THE CHINESE ECONOMY."

honestly I changed my opinion I will only be buying from either cubelelo or thecubestore and possibly even Speedcubeshop

Does she know where cubes are made?

 

[baseballjello67]

You do know that basically every cube you use is manufactured in China right (unless you use a Rubik's)?

Yes, I know that.

'Hope you can read Chinese'

hey guys, since I learned EG-1, I figured out that recognition wasn't that big of a problem. The problem was recalling what alg to do mid-solve, so I know that will improve with practice, but should I start learning how to 1-look? There are more than 3 weeks left until the competition starts, so please give me advice on what to do

PS: only if you know how to one look with EG-1, and have expercience on that
