Aw yes! Graduation for ZZ! I had done a session of 160 solves early today and got a best (and first) sub-18 ao100, 17.56.
Feeling good. So, until I can come here with OH ZZ, hopefully around the end of July, I'm going to stay here with 2H ZZ before moving to the sub-15 thread.

Also, uh, my cfop is going really bad this week, so I wont participate with cfop this week to prevent another failed round.
I will come back next week.

Ooh I like that Z-Perm. I might start using it instead of the regular Z which has always messed me up because it starts the same as the H alg.

I think I don't deserve much to be here as an alumni with averages like this. Not feeling comfortable with any of my 3x3s lately but I think the problem is just in my head.

I wasn't expecting any fireworks this morning. Had all my wisdom teeth removed yesterday and I'm feeling pretty crappy today. The YueXiao and Thunderclap were the only cubes I could get any sub-20s with in warm up.

For those two 16's at the end I slowed waaay down and focused on smooth turning and lookahead. I'm still struggling with the slow turning thing. I definitely need to practice more.

Oh well, if I'm at a point where I'm considering 20.26 a "bad" average... I'm okay with that

Congratulations to @GenTheThief for graduating with ZZ this round! Also, for being the only sub-20 this round

Thanks. This just proves that ZZ is the fastest method ever, because it won. Yeah. Everyone should switch to ZZ. Because it is fast. (It's also pretty good at FMC, it has world record!)
On a different note, I'm going to start learning ZZ-CT, as opposed to COLL/EPLL (+S/AS PLL), so I think I will re-graduate with it. Something like >200 cases to learn. Yeah.

Round 508

Didn't think I had a great shot this week but I went for it. This is a little higher than my normal average now which is typically lower 21s. I was nervous since I made a round a couple weeks ago, now I can relax.

Well, I changed my cube again, searching for something I like and the Hualong did quite fill the gap. It's as stable as the Yuexiao but without the catches. Anyway, not very happy with the average but taking into account that I don't practise much 3x3 lately I can't complain.

Bleah. Should have been sub-19 easily; way to many 19+(6/12).
I still haven't started learning TSLE or TTLC, but I will this week, so I won't be competing for a few weeks. Hope to start with zz-ct before July ends.

Also, I just did some CFOP solves and I realized that I hadn't had any practice, and suck. But, I kept getting great singles(like seven 14-16s in 20 solves), but generally a 22 average. I don't think I'm want to graduate with cfop anymore. You can take my cfop results off the spreadsheet @earth2dan.

It's been fun competing with yall. See you 'round the forums!
