phonon's progression thread

[phononmusic]

hello!! figured i'd start a progression thread to track and share my progress with you all here's my introduction post, this should be a pretty good reference for rate of improvement

current 3x3 stats
single - 13.52
ao5 - 15.10
ao12 - 17.47
ao100 - 19.95

current 5x5 stats (i got my 5x5 a week ago!)
single - 3:35.63
mo3 - 3:50.13
ao5 - 3:55.41
ao12 - 4:04.83

these are all keyboard times, however i did just order a stackmat timer and a yj mini 4x4! i plan to grind 3/4/5 and maybe even 2x2, i'm still not sure if i care enough about 2x2 to grind it though. i'm also starting the journey to learning full OLL, myself and a friend are doing it together with a whole custom spreadsheet and everything :>

If you are sub 20ish like me you could also look at improving F2L look ahead and efficiency rather than OLL as that will make a larger difference, BUT, if you are having fun with a friend learning it, definitely do that, as fun practice > sweaty practice. JPerm has a video on becoming sub-15

my biggest weak point is my cross/cross to f2l transition, i'll continue working on that + efficiency and lookahead !! theres a forsure a lot of f2l cases i can do more efficiently, but for the most part i can pretty much always track the next pair while doing the one im doing

most notable times from my first day with the stackmat were my 5x5 times! i had 2 solves in a row where i got a new gperm i learned and screwed up the alg completely, one of which was a 3:12 that i dnf'd. but the very next solve i got the same gperm again and didnt **** it up, and got a 3:22!!

5x5 w/stackmat
single - 3:22.63
ao5 - 3:30.87
ao12 - 3:49.36
