Have I learnt the 4LLL cases I wanted to learn? No.
I'm too lazy.

Current splits are 30 secs F2L, 45 secs S2L and at most 15 secs LL. I wanna drop my F2L time to around 20 secs or less. I'm just gonna be watching a ton of example solves to improve my efficiency.
I haven't finished learning 4LLL yet tho; the final cases I have to learn are the 5 corner cycles CPs. I've learnt 2 of them but the rest I cant learn them because I don't even know how to distinguish them. I need help...

Those are called K-perms, I'm assuming you're talking about the non-matching cases because those ones are a pain. The algorithms themselves aren't bad but it takes a lot of practice to recognize quickly, something I'm not good at yet. But the image down below is very helpful and allowed me to learn them.

PS: It seems like we average the same on megaminx, make sure to learn all the EP's accept Q-perms.

Goals for July
2x2
: Learn full CLL. Just get in in your head you stupid idiot.
3x3: I've gotten to a point in 3x3 where I can't get better unless I get a new cube. In the meantime, I'll prolly just learn a ton of fancy algs.
4x4: Just grind for sub-40. I'm pretty happy where I am now tho.
5x5: Same thing as 3x3. Need good cube. Pretty sure I'll be sub-1:30-ish with a proper 5x5.
Megaminx: I haven't reached the new cube point yet, still gotta grind till 1:10. Finish learning 4LLL, and master it properly. I also need to work on AUFing instead of rotating to do certain algs, mostly the PLLs. It'll be pretty pog if I can reach sub-1:20 by August.
3x3 OH: wutsdis
Skewb: I stopped caring about Skewb a while ago, but it's starting to look appealing so I'm gonna continue grinding to get sub-6. The NR avg is 7.65 and with good practice it looks easily beatable. When I start avging around 6-7 secs I'll get a new Skewb, prolly the XMan Wingy.
Square-1: I need to really pick this up... If I do, i'm not gonna waste time buying a budget cube. I'll just straight up buy the MGC.

I'll try to get the MGC 5x5 first before I get a good 3x3 since I like 5x5 more than 3x3 (shocking!). One issue is, I don't wanna order something and then it isn't gonna arrive in time. So I might just leave all the new cube purchases for when we've moved. Moving plans are going great tho. Last week, we went for medicals to do a TB test to see if we're eligible and none of us have TB or have any history of TB, so we're Gucci. I'm just praying to God that the moving plans don't fall through and everything goes smoothly these coming months.

Happy 4th to you 'Muricans!

Pretty cool considering I haven't done 3x3 in a while. Nice fullstep single too.

I don't mind. Rock it, champ! Maybe someone will mistake mine for yours and siphon off some views.. Thanks for checking mine out in the first place :)
@Timona Any reason you took inspiration from my thread?
