Alright, I'm gonna stop grinding solves and begin grinding algs

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

Yeah, I tried the cancelation into T perm, but my TPS is just so slow.

try x' y2 U' R U' R' U' R U2 R' F R' F' R U, or on yellow do x' z R F' U' F R U R' U' (LS)


Btw @VincentCuber did you do stackmat? Because if you can stackmat a 16 moves solution (assuming you cancelled into t perm) in 1.87 seconds you should easily be able to get sub 1.85 by just doing a bunch of solves until you get decently lucky

No, this was keyboard

I’ll do stackmat from now on though

2 algs down, 23 to go

Which algs are you doing?

Which algs are you doing?

Finishing PLL, some OLL and some F2L

5x5 pb

noice, getting better at it fr
keep it up!
if you haven't checked them out, here's a link to Feliks' CUBESKILLS playlists on YT

5×5 is the bottom 4 on the list...
...stick with Beginner and Intermediate for a while...
but you can still pick up tidbita that could help from Advanced...

...and save Yau for later on unless you already are fluent with it on 4×4

(also good info in 6×6/7×7 and big cubes in general) in the top few...

worth watching (and re-watching) all of them bro
Edit: forgot to add the link lol

The alg grinding has been put on hold until I find a new alg learning source that has lists.

have you tried out jperm.net ?
he's got oll & pll trainers there

But it doesn't have lists.

 

[artless1der]

But it doesn't have lists.

well sort of, when you click on OLL (or PLL) it shows a list of all the cases and his preferred/standard alg for each case
but no, he doesn't list various alt alga for the cases
... he's just one man lol

 

[VincentCuber]

I'm using algdb now

Any updates?

I average around 5 on 2x2, 25 on 3x3, 2:00 on 4x4, 7:00 on 5x5, 12 on pyra, 14 on skewb, 29 on clock, and 1:15 on OH.

 

[VincentCuber]

I've been doing a lot of 5x5, but I just joined the 4x4 ao1000 challenge, so I'll be grinding 4x4.
Also edited the main post with current averages.
