Nevan J's Road to Square-1 NR (achieved, 03/22/2025)

[Nevan J]

An ao100 removes like the 3 worst solves and the 3 worst solves so it's not gonna be equal to the mean. (Idk whether its just 3, it might be more)

ok, so should I consider my ao100 or my mean?

I don't really know actually since most times, I don't care about my mean in an ao100 session, I'm more concerned with the ao100 since its like a wider representation of what you average. On average tho, the difference between the mean and ao100 would be almost insignificant.

alright, thanks!

learning EG-1 is easier than I thought! I am only left with 18 algorithms to learn

 

[baseballjello67]

Next: Learns TCLL.

Nevan: Well, that was easy.

Zayn Khanananahanahanahani: wait who is dis

bro. i think you should improve cll first...

 

[Nevan J]

yea but a comp is coming I want to 1-look and podium

 

[Timona]

That is a horrendously terrible idea lmao. Work on CLL and EG-1 first

 

[Nevan J]

But i have terrible recognition anyone please help

 

[Abram Grimsley]

But i have terrible recognition anyone please help

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.

WEEK 2-3

I couldn't post the progress for week 2, but here's a combined one

2x2: You guys are telling me not to 1-look and instead focus on improving CLL and EG-1 so I will do that. I also got my pb mo3, ao12 and ao100 on 2x2 yesterday

3x3: I am finally sub-15
but still need better lookahead, so I will learn how to deduce corner back slots (jperm has a video on it)

4x4: Some drastic improvement, I am getting wayyyyy better with instantly finding edge pieces while 3-2-3 edge pairing, also F2C and Cross Edges are really efficient now (imo)

Overall kind of good, but I have a comp coming so I really want to get good on 2x2. I need to YuPo V2 M to be better, it locks up quite a lot so if anyone can help with that I would appreciate that
Also the main lockups in solves are when I am making layers with the R2 F2 R2/ R2 B2 R2 technique, so please give me tips on how to make efficient layers (I participated in baseballjello's and nigel's 100 2x2ers video and i saw many people had seen the orange face could be made in 4 moves but I didn't see that so that's why I need more tips for making layers)

 

[Nevan J]

can anyone tell me how to make the yupo v2 m actually good? Its like I am on CLL at 1.9x or something in a solve, and I lockup soooo much on the CLL Alg that it turns the solve into a 5.xx something

 

[Nevan J]

After about 30 minutes, I think I have finally found the best tensions for me. It isn't too slow, and doesn't corner twist that easily. I did a ao12 and it went really good, so I think that's the best I can do for this 2x2

Spoiler

practice.

Just get the MGC, MGC Elite, or Qiyi MS. Or if your budget is high, get the Gan 251 M Pro.

(cubelelo has all of the above)

Is the gan 251 m pro even good? Jperm said it's not that good (and surely the price is also not good) so i am stuck between the MGC and MGC elite. Which one is better

Downsolved to 1.05 stackmatted, I don't have good TPS lol

 

[Nevan J]

I main a Gan 251 M Pro over the MGC Elite, but that is just me. If you can buy the Elite, it's for sure better. By a long mile.

Thanks! Also how do you know about cubelelo
