That’s perfectly fine! As long as you are trying to improve and having a bit of fun while doing it, you’re doing great! Also, good luck for your comp, and I’m hoping you get a very good 2x2 average.
Wow, your progression speed is insane. How many solves do you one-look? And how many moves can you trace within inspection time?
I've been learning a couple of EG1s, my current stats are: 5/6 U, 2/6 Sune, 3/6 Antisune, 4/6 Pi, 3/6 L, 4/6 T, and 3/4 H.
The algs I use are a mix of my own experimenting (with different corner inserts and things) and the algs on Will's algdoc. I'm currently avging around mid 2.6.
Thank you very much! I basically just learned EG-1 and switched from a slow 2x2 to a much faster 2x2, and practiced a ton. I’m very good at learning things very quickly. I one look about 40% of my solves, and I can trace about 4 or so moves most of the time. You are pretty fast as well, and you didn’t have to learn all of EG-1 to get there. I’d say figuring out of how to one-look more situations helped me drop my times by 0.2 seconds (which is a large gap) and finishing EG-1 will get you to sub 2.4 or 2.3. You are making good progress as well, and practicing different corner insertions is a very great way to practice one-looking. I hope you do well in your 2x2 journey.
15/100 is 15%. And you probably got some really good scrambles, so I doubt that percentage is anywhere close to 10% usually. I get sub-2s often but don’t average sub 2 yet.

That’s a pretty good number of sub 2s (I average about 35 sub 2s per 100 solves), so I think I know the reason.
Do you know the reason for your bad solves, like the ones you want to not exist? If you don’t, I believe it is because of CLL inconsistency. Some of your CLLs are much faster than others either because you don’t practice them, or you don’t have a very fast alg. Find out which algs are your slowest, and find better algs that are faster. If you are nearly sub 3, there is some reason why you aren’t there, especially since on good scrambles, you have very good TPS (better than mine). If this isn’t it, then work on recognition, as this also takes up half a second if you aren’t quick at it. If neither are it, than you must have incredibly inefficient layers, because this is, IMO, the Trinity of “why do I suck at 2x2?”

Do you have a good cube? I feel like you have a decent cube, but even if you don’t, you can still get to sub 2.8 with a kinda bad cube, (reference: I did). Still, I’d work on layers and recognition of cases, and one looking, as those are skills that are much harder to master and much more finicky to measure in numbers

Yeah, Qiyi MS is a good cube, so it can’t be that, and I don’t think you’re unlucky by any stretch of the imagination. I’d say, just work on one looking at this point, because I don’t know what else to tell you.

I'm good at tracing faces that only use quarter turns (I can trace up to 5 in cases like R' U' R U R' layers), but I'm struggling a lot with faces that involve half turns, especially U2 turns (faces like R2 U2 R', F' U2 R, etc). I don't know whats the problem but I just take a lot longer to 1-look faces with double moves, do I just practice more with unlimited inspection time?

I use CLL. Learning EG-1, and I do use it in some solves that I one look, but I mainly use CLL. I would focus just trying to get better at execution and recognition of CLL cases, and TPS.
I just said you’d get better at it.
