Ota Mota's Progression Thread // Road to Sub-3.5 Ao1000 for ZBLL Recog+Exec

[artless1der]

I realized that I need to start learning Full OLL. I am almost sub-30 on OH and I have been sub-20 2H for a while, and I only know like 5 extra OLLs. Ima start learning some, plan to be finished within a month.

I know about 30 different OLLs ... and I mostly use ROUX!!!
(psst!: you might be using the wrong method for your particular talents/skillsets!')

I now global sub-19 on 3x3. Don’t usually post about such minor barriers, but sub-19 took so long that I decided to share anyway.

Do you use OP or M2/OP?

 

[OtaMota]

Do you use OP or M2/OP?

That particular solve was pure OP, though I use M2/OP now, and already have a sub-4 with it, though not as fast as 3:47
