I've fallen behind in like pretty much every event, I'm rlly bad at everything mow, definitely not as good in some as I was before. Over the next few weeks, I'm going to relearn algs I've forgotten, and steps I never bothered to fully learn (I'm looking at you 4x4 edge pairing). I'm going to do a list of what I need to do for each event, and when I'm going to do them.
3x3:
I think I'm better than I ever have been for 3x3, but there are many things I still need to do. I'm averaging about 13-14, but I get 15s and 16s too often in my opinion, because I keep forgetting OLL's, and messing up PLL's. My F2L is also definitely not as good as it should be. I also need to work on cross. Oh my, I'm bad at everything.
I need to:
Drill PLL's I'm slow at and learn new algs for some
Learn full OLL and drill all the new ones
Learn some F2L algs for some hard cases
Improve cross somehow
2x2:
This is one of the events I have fallen behind the most on, I averaged low 3, with very often sub 3 averages. I'm starting to average high 3, with too many 4s and 5s. CLL algs slip away a day after I relearn them, with some of the cases I've known for almost a year sill managing to be forgotten. My layers are also most definitely sub optimal.
I need to:
Fully relearn CLL, at this point there's about 20 I have forgotten
Work on my layer
4x4:
While I do think I am better than I ever have been on 4x4, there are a lot of things I never bothered to learn. I only half paid attention to the end of 343 edge pairing (at least I think it's 343) and I don't know how to do any weird cases, or even how to do l3e. My first two centres are fine, and so are my first 3 edges and centres. I'd like to learn a few algs for the last cross edge, if they even exist. I'd also like to be colour neutral on 4x4, because I'm colour neutral on pretty much everything but big cubes and mega (but why would I be colour neutral on mega).
I need to:
Work on edge pairing (a lot)
Learn a new OLL parity alg
Learn to do first 3 edges on M slice rather than E slice
Big cubes:
I don't really care about 5-7, but if I improve I'll be happy. I have no idea how to improve, I use extremely inefficient redux for all three, with like a billion rotations. I'd appreciate any help, I'm averaging 3 mins for 5x5, 6 mins for 6x6, and about 8-9 mins for 7x7.
Blind:
This is by far the event I have gotten the most slower at. It used to be the only thing I would practice, I could do memo in like 35-40 seconds sometimes. Because I still used OP, exec took about a minute to a minute and a half. Now memo takes like a minute, and my success rate has dropped a lot, from about 80% to like 50-60%. I've also forgotten how I used to memo corners, I just made a system up on the spot when I had to do the first solve in months, in comp.
I need to:
Practice memoing faster
Relearn corner memo properly
Practice setup moves for all the cases
Do lots of solves
OH:
In the past week or 2 I've been doing quite a lot of OH, I'm happy where I am now. There is a thing or two I do need to do though.
I need to:
Learn some OH PLL's
Practice fingertricks for left sexy moves and other left handed things (I use my left hand so it's hard)
FMC:
I'm averaging like high 40's with just CFOP, any sort of blockbuilding or EO I used to know is gone out of my head, I also think I used to know how to do reverse scramble stuff.
I need to:
Relearn how to do blockbuilding
Maybe NISS (I think that's what the inverse thingy is called)
Clock:
I don't think I've gotten worse, but I've definitely gotten worse at improving. I see people saying "oh it's easy to get sub-7 with flip but here's me averaging 9 for the past year and a bit. I learned bpaul recently and I still know how to do it, I just take like 30 seconds to memo and 30 seconds to solve with a 50% success rate. My 5 clocks just kinda sit there on my desk in a stack.
I need to:
Speed up bpaul memo
Get faster at exec
Megaminx:
I average about 2 mins on mega, I did like 200 solves a few months back and shaved a minute off my average, but I'm stuck here. When I watch other people solve, it looks exactly like what I do, just faster. When I watch reconstructions, they look pretty much like what I do. I have no idea how to improve, please help.
Pyraminx:
I used to average like 7-8 on pyra, I have no idea what I average now. I used to use intuitive L4E, where I put in the back edge and then solved the other three together, and that worked very well for a while. As I stopped practising pyra, it just became to much of a hassle to think about and I wasn't bothered to do the case anymore.
I need to:
Revise the L3E cases
Practice the V
Skewb:
I average like 8 seconds on skewb, I use most of Sarah's intermediate, except a few cases I never bothered to learn. I'm not sure what a good layer looks like, and I don't really know how to improve my layer.
I need to:
Improve my layer somehow
Learn a proper Z perm
Learn how to do a U perm and H perm quicker
Finish Sarah's intermediate properly this time
Maybe some L3C and L4C cases (perhaps)
Squan:
I average like 40 on squan, I know like 2 cube shape algs, I spend way too long on cube shape, like 15-20 seconds. CO and EO (I think) are fine. Checking for parity in CP is annoying, it takes too long, but I don't know the parity alg that you do during EP. EP also takes really long, I know like one alg.
I need to:
Learn more CS algs
Learn EP parity
Learn more EP and CP algs
Work on TPS and cut down on regrips
I'm not going to worry about MBLD yet, and I can't do bigBLD
tldr:
I'm bad at everything and need help
