@CarterK, or anyone else. Do you have any tips for getting sub 4.75ish? I kind of feel stuck where I am and don’t feel like practice is improving my times too much. Should I practice algs like U perm/ sledge or try harder to spam tps maybe? Thanks in advance for any help, I appreciate it.
I don't know what you know, but if you don't know advanced, learn advanced. Once you get the recognition down you will be a lot faster. As for tutorials, Luigi Soriano has a good one, but it isn't complete. Go to Kennan's tutorial for the gaps.
Another thing that helped me is to practice making good fingertrick-y layers, trying to find the best layer, even if it means overinspecting.
Once you do that, algs will help you, I suggest learning all the cases that are 5+ sledges first, then moving on to 4, and keep going down.
One-looking is something you should really be always trying to do, you'll get better as it as you practice. George Scholey has some good videos on some cases, and learning how to trace 3+ move layers helps quite a bit. I like to figure out corners and then figure out where my centers are going to be.
And, once you get all these things, it really comes down to practice and learning more algs and more tricks. Algs are the reason I started liking skewb, because it wasn't the same sledge over and over.
