pTr's Progression on 3x3

[pTr]

Hello. I'm pTr. I started speedcubing about 2 months ago. I found this forum section so I thought I would post my progress here. Whenever I have an "I did it!" moment I'll post about it here.

Here's all the agls I know: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CqP5A1lcYg65mVp22xXl4sZODKA1FGtpKajXVGmnmLA/edit?usp=sharing

I use CFOP right now and I average 27-38 seconds with a PR of 22.13, Ao5 27.64.

Current Cube: X-Man Tornado V4: magnets at 5, axis distance at 1, tension at 2.

Today I learned Gc and Gd!

Gc: ( R'2 U' R U' ) ( R U R' U ) ( R2 D' U ( R U' R' D )
Gd: D' ( R U R' U' ) D R2 U' R U' R' U R' U R2 D'

Only 5 more PLLs.

I did it!

I was doing random scrambles for hours so I don't have the scramble, but...

19.54!!!

I'm getting better...

Started grinding BND F2l. I'm able to solve one pair and place a corner BND.

How much of U ZB do you know? And how quick is your recog+execution time for the cases you know?

 

[pTr]

ik 58 cases and its about 4-6 seconds.

Good work on both fronts yo

Thanks! Nice of you to check in with the community.

I'm a classic notebook guy instead of Google Sheets or other tools.

Got all of ZBLL-U written down in my notebook with recog!

 

[pTr]

I'm making slow progress on my 3x3 average. Also almost sub-7 ao100 on 2x2. Currently working on ZBLL. So close to having all of U. After U is done I'll move onto Pi.

Want to get into 2x2 a little more.

Kinda sad the forums are slowing down.

 

[pTr]

Relearning some U cases I've forgotten. Got a 16 without a skip. Have had a few cases I've recognised in a timed solve, but it's slow rn.
