Round 201
Race to sub-25
ZZ (OCLL, PLL)
Moyu Aolong V2
Ao12: 22.98

22.92, 24.55, 22.03, 25.53, (18.57), (29.75), 20.61, 22.61, 21.45, 24.33, 20.83, 24.95

After graduating sub-30 and failing to graduate sub-25, I'm back some months later to try again. I think I've improved quite a bit - my F2L in particular is much faster and I'm making far fewer errors on EOLine. My Avg of 12 isn't consistently below 25 seconds, but it is frequently enough that I think I have a genuine shot at graduating sub-25.

Still a few notable mistakes this time round, but none of them really cost me too much.

Spoiler: Notes

(3) PLL skip; would've been better but made a mistake building first F2L block
(6) For some reason couldn't plan out the EO step properly and had to improvise it
(8) Was really quick until PLL and then did wrong G Perm.

After entering the race to sub 30 over a year ago, i am back and this time I am ready to go for sub 25. I use CFOP.

Practice this week has been shaky with half Ao12s above 25 seconds, but this set was really smooth sailing, no serious mistakes throughout the 12 and got my fastest single of the week.

Spoiler: Notes

(8) OLL skip into G-perm
(12) No mistakes, just very slow building first 2 blocks.

Got a PB Ao12 in practice today and really thought I could finish up this week. But I'm still too inconsistent, this time with 2 completely botched solves to scupper my chances. Oh well - no reason why I can't do it over the next 3 weeks.

Spoiler: Notes

(2) Misoriented cube for EO - somehow didn't realize until half-way through F2L.
(6) Messed up COLL case that I thought I knew by not orienting cube (x') first.
(12) Very easy EO and F2L.
