Owen's Progress Thread | Finally some updates |

[Owen Morrison]

I am going to try to become S2L neutral to avoid having to do those annoying rotations after F2L and first S2L block. I am averaging around 55 when I just pick whatever S2L color is in front of me after F2L and rotate either doing a y or y' depending on where I end up after 1st S2L block.

 

[Owen Morrison]

So now I can start on any color and average what I normally do as long as I rotate by doing a y. I average anywhere from 50-1:00 when I start on any color and rotate by doing a y'. I have a couple of comps this weekend and I haven't decided if I am going to solve starting on any color and rotation by doing a y or just always start on yellow like I normally do.

I am going to start updating my progress by making a new post each week instead of editing the main post. So here is this week:

I am still working on S2L neutrality, I am almost there! I am getting a lot of singles that are better than my average but I still have some solves where I build a block incorrectly. I also got a new 3x3 main, the WRM 2020 and a new OH main, the RS3M 2020 without the extra magnets. I have also been getting into clock recently and got a pb single 0f 7.23.

(really easy scramble)

Averaging mid 10 on clock. I also bought a square one, I am excited to learn how to solve that and get fast at it.

Also @BenChristman1 I did a small pyra grind so that you wouldn't be faster than me at any event, I average low 6 now. Is that faster than you?

 

[Nmile7300]

Cool what square 1 did you get?

Volt V2 fully magnetic.

 

[Nmile7300]

Good choice. Have you done any solves yet?

Awww, dang it, I average about 8. I think I am still faster than Micah, though. @Micah Morrison

Nah I average low 7.

No because it isn't here yet.

I used to be able to solve a squan a while ago but that squan broke and I didn't care too much for squan so I hadn't replaced it.

Why? Editing the post is better imo

 

[I'm A Cuber]

Personally, I prefer making a new post, because otherwise I will never see the updates

 

[Nmile7300]

I prefer to make a new post saying that a certain week's update is out, but put the actual update on the original post.

 

[BenChristman1]

I prefer to be too lazy to actually update my progress thread.

 

[Owen Morrison]

Why? Editing the post is better imo

It was really hard for me to get the spoilers right, I was always messing them up and it would take a while to get it to work. I might still put my updates each week in the main post.

I have been doing less Megaminx solves lately to focus on becoming more of an all rounder. I got a sqaun and learned how to solve it, averaging around 25 now. And I did some clock solves and got a new pb average of 5 8.60!

Getting really close to sub 10 as well.

I also did some blind attempts which as you probably know I am REALLY bad at, my best success is 45 minutes. I am averaging around 7-8 minutes now although I haven't got a success since the 45 minutes one.

I also did some 5x5 and decided to switch to Yau (not yau 5) Still pretty slow, averaging around 1:50.

 

[Owen Morrison]

I have been practicing clock and sqaure 1, averaging 23 on squan and sub 10 on clock.

Just got my first sub 7 on this crazy scramble:

I also did some 3x3 solves these past couple weeks... I guess I got like a second slower?

I don't know what to react to this so I'll just laugh at it

 

[AlphaCuber is awesome]

Can you stop being good at everything

 

[Owen Morrison]

Not good at everything yet, blind is still embarrassingly slow and big cubes as well.

Oh and skewb but like it's skewb.

Well, you’re better at blind than me. I don’t have a success.
