Yeah, you made it seem like those sub 20s were no big deal! I always like watching solves thst are in the ballpark of my speed. Your turning style has so much flow! I haven't ever uploaded any of my solves, I want to see if I can get a sub 19 ao5 on video tomorrow and I'll post it here.
Sorry if it isn't clear; it was really hard to find a good angle where you could see the U layer. But I was purposely vague on inserting the middle edges, especially how you insert them to make sure they aren't flipped. I find it's better to learn when you have to do some of it for yourself rather than being told everything.
Thanks! Yes I did, and I'm still practising it because I still suck at itGreat videos, thanks TDM and Logiqx. Logiqx, you made that average look so easy! I feel like I turn twice that fast and frantically, with worse times. I guess that's the point
TDM, did you try my 5x5 edge hiding idea?
I've been doing less 5x5 recently though; since I got my AoSu I've done 4x4 the most.

Ye-ha... I got a full set of PBs today!

I filmed a few solves today. You clearly can see my style is so much different from Logiqx. Much more pauses, but slight higher TPS resulting in roughly same times.

@Schmidt, In the video (first solve) you can see not all my T-perms take 5 secs as in the competition

Congrats! That is real nice to break all PB's in a day. I don't think I have had ever.
Not sure. I think more like Marcel. I try to be smooth and don't feel like I pause for long, at least on my sub-20 solves, but I haven't videoed myself to check, and maybe my pauses are worse than they seem.Me too. I quess we will never know..
) and you've nearly caught up with me. I need to practice more...
I take a break from cubing (mainly for exams and some chess, but not at the same time
And 5x5? I never learn't to completely solve that (can do all but last few edge pairings).
Here you go! Please excuse my loud breathing, my face was right next to the camera, so you might want to mute it. Really bad 3x3 average of 21.07 because I get nervous on cam and never get a good average, but there were a couple good 19s. The 4x4 solve was pretty good since I only had to have one good solve, VS an average. 4x4 is definitely my favorite event, with 5x5 a close second.If only I could do similar solves most of the time!
Thanks Mark. I didn't realise it at the time but I guess it shows how we can get sub-20 times with relative ease through slow turning... variable speed during F2L then fast for LS, OLL and PLL.
It's all well and good a sub-10 or even sub-15 solver saying they can sub-20 with slow turning but you never know what other experience they are drawing upon.
Thanks. I'll look forward to your video. How about one for 4x4x4 as well?
Really? Whenever I get a new PB ao100, all the other ones are always PBs except for sometimes single.Congrats! That is real nice to break all PB's in a day. I don't think I have had ever.
Nice man! You are on the road to sub 20 too!Ye-ha... I got a full set of PBs today!

that DNF was unfortunate, but the other solves were really good.Idk, you both seem to have really smooth turning styles. I bet Mark would be the same since his solves are usually really consistent. I have a really sketchy turning style.
Nice to see a green cross between the white and black crosses. CN people are just a bit cooler than the rest.

Yeah, i bet if you only did 4x4 for a week or two like you are 5x5, you could get sub 1:30 pretty quick. I really wish that I was color neutral, but I am not. When I restickered that cube a long time ago, I switched it to the Japenese color scheme for fun so you probably saw the blue on top and thought I was working on green. I really respect you for being CN though, I need to actually work on that sometime.Nice! Looking at your 4X4 solve I think I should be able to pull that off. But in real my solves are almost always over 2 minutes. Your 3X3 style is very similair to mine. Same speed, same pauses
Next month I will start 4X4 serious practice.. First I want to be sub 4 on the 5X5.
CN people are just a bit cooler than the rest.
