Back to practising full color neutral and very nice average, with just 3 white/yellow crosses. Trying to always find a good cross in other colours before reverting to white / yellow.

And gosh, i didn't expect neither the 38.36 nor the 16.72. I somehow messed up the OLL on the first scramble and i almost had to solve all the cube over again. And i screamed on that 16.72, that's my new PB @@. \o/
I hope i did everything according to the rules, i tried to read some of it on WCA website, and i knew a few rules from what i heard from other ppl.

Ok this is very odd! I've been over achieving in this thread regularly now. I'm not unhappy about it! This is either a PB or close to it. 14.14 was an OLL skip. Would have been a nice 16 or high 15 so still happy with that solve!

P.S. money is in the mail @earth2dan

Round 527
Method: CFOP
Cube: Valk 3 stickerless
Ao12: 18.56

Learn full OLL people! 3/4 sup-20 solves in this average were effectively 3-look OLL, because I know over half, so do an edge flip, then recog to see if it's a 2-edge case I know, then where I don't I have to edge flip again, then OCLL. Ugh. 3 loads of recog really hurt times!!!

No MASSIVE screw-ups this week. Managed to use a new OLL on an 18.29 solve, which was nice, with more practice that solve could be sub-17. With full OLL I'm pretty sure I could be around 16-17 consistently.

Round 527 (I'm back, finally)
CFOP Full-CN

Even though I haven't gotten around to the competition in awhile, I've still been practicing making color-neutrality feel more normal and natural. I can't fight the natural disposition to "see" the yellow and white crosses easier, but I stopped fighting it, and instead going with whatever I see first. As a result, my initial inspection time has become more effective... this was by far my best start and probably my best overall comp average ever!

Average of 12: 21.32
1-12 - (17.98) 23.24 19.91 21.39 21.81 20.97 19.41 19.43 22.02 (31.14) 19.99 25.05

Seemed to start off strong, but then progressively got worse. Too many 24's and the counting 25 really ruined this average.

Round 527

Method: CFOP (white cross)
Cube: Valk 3 Stickerless
AO12: 18.65
18.09, 18.86, 17.01, 20.29, 15.55, 20.44, (21.48), 18.38, 18.79, 19.11, (14.71), 19.98

There were definitely some easy white crosses in there, but I'll take it. I don't get a lot of sub 19 ao12's. Feels good. I got my Gans 356 Air today and did a handful of solves. It needs a lot of work if it's going to compete with the Valk 3. I'll try and do a Yellow cross average before I close the round tomorrow.

Method: CFOP (yellow cross)
Cube: Gans 356 (at the office, no Valk 3)
AO12: 21.32
22.14, (31.29), 20.59, 18.74, 21.02, 22.01, 19.75, 23.87, 20.87, 24.20, 19.23, (15.75)

Still wildly inconsistent, but much better than last week. The 4th, 7th and 12th solves were better on yellow cross than white. This tells me that if I can improve my consistency with yellow cross, I could go dual CN and improve my times overall by giving me a second option when white cross stinks, or when yellow is too good to pass up.
