That's tricky.

Wow. I don't think it's super necessary to be full CN with Roux. You can still use any prepaired edge/corner combos just by being Y/W bottom and O/R/B/G first block. I'm pretty sure that's how Alex Lau is.

I was happy to advance to race to sub 25 last time. For few last days I was practicing f2l and cross blindfolded. But since monday I made a break and solving only big cubes. My times makes me happy, specially first sub 20 for maybe a month or two.

Yay! I graduated! Actually, nearing sub-25, if not for a couple of bad solves. I'm done recording these competitions. I need to focus on my 3BLD efforts instead of putting so much into my speed. I'm not sure If I'll participate in Sub-25. I'm worried my competitive nature will cause me to keep investing too much into speed and ignore 3BLD. I'm really proud of my progress, and I know it's because of the effort I put in. If I can't put the same kind of effort, I can't expect the same results, and it might frustrate me. So, I'll think about it and see how I feel next week about things. Dropping 18 seconds off my Ao12 in 6 weeks is a great feeling. Thanks for running this competition Brian, it's been a great motivator for me, and the results reflect that.

I think that you should still participate. I understand that you want to work on your 3BLD skills, but even doing like 10 solves a day or something will make you improve, if not the last thing you want is for your times to get worse from not practicing. I actually watch the videos, i like watching people my speed whether they use Roux or not

Did you ever post an ao5/12 in the help thread? Or do you already know what needs improvement?

Right on. Just trying something new to mix it up.

Hello! I noticed that you are from Kansas City, which is pretty cool because there are not many cubers from around here (i live in Olathe). I have talked to one person on the forums who lives in Blue Valley, but it is definitely cool to see that you are too. Where around KC do you live?

I live in Olathe, too!

Awesome! Can you PM me so we aren't cluttering the thread up? I triedto PM you from the start, but you have it turned off or something.
