I also got an 8 yesterday testing a scramble of TDM's before I saw his solution and ccomparing them afterwards. My STM was like 37 moves or so, I don't think I should count it as q
pb though ;-; or should i

Your TPS was 4+, so definitely not garbage.
I got a sub-8 single earlier today though, so I now have one PB sub-you

Well, I don't count PBs from other people's scrambles, especially if you know they're easy. If it's something like the weekly comp then that's fine, but if you get a scramble that you've seen is good then imo you shouldn't count it.

Yeah, I like your solution for speed optimality, but like to compare them every now and then

Oh ok. My cmll pause was like 2 seconds lol. I think I did a U6 then fruruf. Sub 8 single howww! I still cant get two sub 10s in the same ao 5... I got like 30 today so thats good.

Yeah I didny notice the blue orange pair was solved, and after blue red, I was looking for them and yeah. My LSE is still inefficient. I can actually sub 4 it though with M with ring finger.

Any tips?

Status update for me( you guys are probably sick of this by now but too bad)
New pb of 32.608 .
I feel that block building is still my major fail point, along with fixing bad edges.
I am starting to improve look ahead a bit but I still have trouble seeing myself anywhere near as efficient as I should be.
The main thing for bad edges is just finding better ways to fix em'
Decided to hold off on CMLL for a bit till I get better at other parts of the solve.

it's usually lse that is too slow at your level. try to average 5-6 seconds for it.

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

it's usually lse that is too slow at EVERY level. try to average BETTER THAN ME seconds for it.

Ftfy

Are there any drills or anythin to help with that or just find an LSE scrambler and use that?

 

[TorbinRoux]

Recently got a 13.8 average of 5 today, which is superz good. I can't seem to ever get close to my PB though. Considering it was a 2 move first block... My blocks are my downfall, any tips?

first have 18 or less move average for lse. you can just use hand scrambles for lse and practice like that.

I wish I could get two sub-10s in an Ao5, even with CFOP, which I'm ~2 seconds faster at My sub-8 was I think 42 (?) moves, 5+ TPS.
