Round 37

Event(?): I'm a primarily Fridrich solver trying out Roux. Considering switching.

36.81: 37.19, 36.94, 34.90, (28.86), 31.36, 42.12, 37.06, 30.00, (51.81), 34.41, 46.84, 37.28

Mostly well under 30 secs but I'm still getting the odd time over 30 which is disappointing. I really mess up recognising and executing the V perm (I'm really slow at that one)

Michael, since we're the old foggies of this thread now, I'm curious what method you use, and what you think is keeping you sup-30.
I've been stuck in the mid low thirties for months now, but in the last couple of days I think I've made a major breakthrough. I just started slowturning during the F2L and I couldn't believe how positive an effect it's had on my times, within a couple of days my pb Ao12 has gone down 2 seconds. Have you tried slow turning?

Back after a hiatus! (Mostly holidays [and lots of skiing] gettin' me distracted) I've been learning full PLL rather slowly, but, I've completed it, and I am using it! My times are definitely going down, but, you'll see that they vary quite a bit. My recognition is, umm, it could use work! But, the full PLL is feeling very good.

Had my PB on this round \m/ 23.05! I think that maybe the F2L was a little lucky, but, I had a anti-sune + 3-edge cycle for the LL -- maybe my best two algs, which helped a lot.

Can't wait for the next round!

Hi Godmil,
My method is quite straightforward: white cross, intuitive F2L, partial edge control on final pair, 2-look OLL, full PLL.

The main speed failure points are:
* cross horror - inability to plan a cross in the inspection time
* inefficient F2L and long pauses due to zero or minimal look ahead (irrespective of how slow I turn)
* massive mental distraction: e.g. certain cases make be think of certain people!
* colour "blindness": it's all there right in front of me but I just can't "see" what to do

I've tried slow turning but it doesn't help - I'm just as bad but slower!

Some people have tried to help on the few occasions I get to spend with more capable cubers but like Joey says "You need to do that but 10 times faster"! I have come to the conclusion that I'm just not cut out to be a speedcuber: too old, too stupid I'm not overly concerned about it - it's to be expected. I love cubing so I carry on.

 

[Godmil]

Thanks for the info, I was very curious.
A lot of those points are the exact same for me... my cross I usually can only plan the first two edges, and my colour blindness makes me sometimes stop and spend 5+ seconds looking for an edge, it's just in this last couple of days that I've started to reduce my pause times in F2L, so I seem to be coming out of my slump. As long as you're still having fun, that's cool
