It's much better to get good at what you know already first.

It's not though? There is literally 0 point of getting used to a slower method instead of learning a faster one

No, I meant in his case, he wanted to learn EG-2 or something, so I suggested that he get better at CLL and EG-1 first.

Ao25: 3.02
Ao50: 3.25
Ao100: 3.37

Nothing notable today except sub-3.5 ao200.

 

[THE_V01DL0RD]

Why such a specific 2x2 Ao100(2.62)?
Why not 2.5 or 2.6?
Just asking. I don't want to be rude.

 

[OtaMota]

Why such a specific 2x2 Ao100?
Why not 2.5 or 2.6?

It is because it makes it a bit easier to track progression, and not many 2x2ers use ao100 to track global anyway, so I think it's just personal preference.

 

[OtaMota]

Please note it is PB ao100 and not current ao100. If you wanted my current global I would be less specific and say something like 3.4-3.6.

Got first sub-3 ao25

Uh, is a 2x2 doing the Vcube 6 hidden slice turn thing normal?

 

[An Animating Cuber]

not that I'm aware of.
Edit: after another second of thought i realized that the corner connected to the core should make this impossible.

The thing is that there is no core corner piece. They are all equal.

There should be one. It’s usually on the white face (may vary), and it’s very hard to corner twist. (If you find it though, do not actually cornet twist it, as it can break).

I don’t though, maybe because it’s a budget 2x2, but there was not core 2x2. All the pieces looked the same. I had the MGC and MS, and I could tell there were core corners with those. My cube does not have it it seems.

I have an old QiYi QiDi, I’m not sure if that’s what you have, but mine does have a core corner. Maybe yours really doesn’t have one, but I’m pretty sure all 2x2s should have them.

I used to have an older model of a Qidi, and even that had a core piece.

Interesting.

 

[An Animating Cuber]

I'm guessing this is still my cube, the piece that's connected is still there its just harder to see from the outside, its more visible when you take it apart.
