Alright, no problem. Will be my second video in over 3 years, hahaha. I only have 1 video of me, and it's when I was around 1 minute with Beginner's Method.

After I got to 35 sec average, it plummeted down to about 25-27. I've noticed that I'm now stuck on the 23-25 sec average, and don't seem to be improving. I've been quietly frustrated, but decided to just keep on trucking.

Hopefully you can give me some pointers. I'm betting it's my F2L, but I don't know what, specifically.

Round 57
22.97
21.70, 21.96, 23.40, 22.48, (25.40), 21.76, 22.00, 23.48, 23.42, (21.26), 24.24, 25.22

Done trying for smooth solves as much as possible. I still tend to be unable to resist speeding up when I know the solves count. But these were certainly consistent! Overall, though, my average has gone way slower doing this; I'm averaging more like 25 seconds while trying for smooth solves. This felt like a lucky average to me.
 
Round 57 (OH):

Amazing single! It was non-lucky!!! But the average was awful :fp.

My first go at this, shocking first cube which should probably have been easy.

Round 57: AVG = 23.67

(32.53)
23.14
22.22
23.79
21.23
25.86
24.98
(20.37)
24.58
23.56
23.84
23.53

My cross is awful, need to work on that which will help consistency and also smoothness of turning was not great, felt awkward and not smooth (rough I suppose).

24.09 a5 (wow... just wow)
 
masteranders, i cant see your f2l but make sure you know how to complete each alg in the fastest way.
using no lookahead at all but raw speed, i can get 20 seconds average

you should be trying to go slow, your solves are you turning much too fast and pausing alot. work on tracking hte next f2l pair. work from there. also your pll recog needs work
