Ohhh had a nice one. Full step solve including two step OLL 17.46 seconds:

These freak accidents seem to occur more often ;) I have been using my Dayen Linyun much lately and broke all my PB's with that cube. After using my Linyun all other cubes feel big and akward ;)


Scramble: D' F2 R2 D2 B2 L2 U' F2 R2 U2 R2 B D F' L' F U2 L' F' U2 R U

Cube: Dayan Linyun

I really don't want to be "that guy", but that solve is really a 19.46+ solve. Other than that, it was very well executed, and a good example of how turn-speed isn't all that necessary even in CFOP.

Yes, I know in competition it was a +2 solve. That's why I showed the cube in the video. But I really don't mind since it was no competition.

I tried the same scramble a few more times and all I got where 24 second solves.. LOL

Not bad right? I love 24 second solves ;) Today I had 12 solves sub 30.. All in 28 - 29 range.. it felt awesome.. so fast.. And then I was bummed that I did not brake my Ao12 of 26.48.. LOL In order to do that you must have a few 22 - 24 there in there as well.. LOL

Nowadays I get sad when I get a 30 second solve lol and to think that 30 seconds was my goal when I started my thread
 
I think we all get a little annoyed when we aren't as fast as we normally are. The amount of times I slammed the table when doing 2x2 yesterday...
 
I have decided to enter the sub 30 competition with CFOP again. But this time color neutral. The Roux thing is fun but I do not practice Roux and make therefore no progress. I just did 12 solves with Cross on Yellow

Average 36.08
45.06 40.61 37.29 40.10 32.21 38.19 (45.40) 35.34 30.80 30.31 (29.56) 30.84

I am surprised by these good times. I know Yellow is almost like solving on white but still it is harder. So for the Race to sub 30 I will enter and do cross on all colors but white... Let´s see if I can get any progress in this area. That is at least positive for my normal CFOP solves where Roux has no positive effect on my times ;)

EDIT: I just did a Ao12 on cross on RED:
43.06
44.64 50.60 50.51 47.24 (51.19) 39.11 (33.90) 40.96 39.80 35.44 48.02 34.31

A lot harder, but this is real fun!

Sounds like a good idea check out my vid on transitioning to CN in my sig if you want some tips.
 
Very cool that you want to switch to colour neutral. I'd be really interested to see you succeed! You need determination and just stick with it. I'm aiming to be dual colour neutral right now W/Y.

In case you're wondering, I just did an Ao12 White and then Ao12 Red. This is how they compare.

White: 17.61
15.71, 15.73, 19.71, (21.44), (15.02), 19.66, 16.11, 16.46, 17.43, 16.89, 20.95, 17.45

Red: 27.70
33.66, 25.40, 25.86, 29.79, 26.81, 23.65, 29.97, (23.56), 25.04, 33.02, 23.79, (35.06)

Even my fastest time with red is 2 seconds slower than my slowest time with white.
 
There's nothing better than having an easy cross 95% of the time, though it must be hell transitioning from non-color-neutral to color-neutral, good luck.

I am going to follow the tips of jskyler91. He says, train 4 days cross on yellow, and then days blue, 5 days green, 5 days orange and 5 days red. Since red and orange are the hardest to get used to you must take these last. I just did a Ao50 cross on yellow. I had 31 something. I have even a few 23 - 25 in there.. So I am going to skip the cross on Yellow days and start with Green right away.. I am really looking forward to be 100% CN. jskyler91 Says in his video that you will have shitty times at first but in the long run it must get better. We will see..

Yes, I guess, Right now seeing the crosses on other colors is really the most difficult part for me..
