[TDM]

(Could have been 43 moves with moves cancelled into the OLL; could have been 41 with a move-optimal U perm.)

I assume you're using the <R, U> U perm, and referring to the HTM optimal alg (F2 U R' L F2 R L' U F2) which saves two moves. The <M, U> U perm is two moves fewer than that, so you could've had a sub-40 movecount on a fullstep solve.
I wish I could get solves like that

Round 364
20.66
21.96, 21.70, (23.66), (18.48), 19.57, 19.68, 20.32, 18.66, 21.55, 21.39, 20.56, 21.25

Very nice average for me. For the last few rounds, my lookahead has suddenly been really good; it's just been the execution that's slowing me down. I can see really well in advance what I'm supposed to do, but I just can't seem to get my fingers to cooperate that well.

 

[IRNjuggle28]

Just found this thread. And what an awesome idea, seriously. I did my first 3x3 solves in several days. I've been doing almost nothing but big cubes the last few weeks, so my Zhanchi seemed uncontrollable. Lol. Anyway. Attention Deficit Disorder is not kind to this. I kept forgetting to come back here and just using the scramble qqtimer gave me. I deleted half a dozen solves that I realized weren't the given scrambles, but I'm pretty sure these 12 solves are done with the scrambles for this round.

First AO12 in the race to sub 20:

AO12: 21.89
MO12: 22.07
Best AO5: 19.69

23.07, 19.00, 20.35, 19.07, 19.65, 22.85, 22.26, 26.92, 23.29, 25.26, 20.82, 22.26

I'd say my global average with 3x3 is probably 23, but if I'm warmed up and in a well lit place, faster. As I said, I've barely practiced 3x3, but I may have improved anyway due to the hours spent on big cubes.

I think I'm making a goal to learn the rest of my PLLs in the next couple weeks. Or at least the G perms. I still need to learn R, N, and G. I'd be so much faster with 3LLL. I usually finish F2L at around 13 seconds.

it's just been the execution that's slowing me down. I can see really well in advance what I'm supposed to do, but I just can't seem to get my fingers to cooperate that well.

Have you tried switching cubes? Spamming fast algs? I just lubed my weilong today and it feels absolutely amazing.
