VortexCuber's cubing progress

[VortexCuber]

Currently I average 25 on the 3x3, and know CFOP with cross, intermediate F2L (some of my solutions aren't as efficient), 2-look OLL, and most of the full PLLs. I am currently working on F2L.

Twins!!

I average 27

Generated By csTimer on 2025-04-21
solves/total: 352/352

Average: 27.49 (σ = 3.43)
Mean: 27.59

I also know 2LOLL and a "full" PLL, but Na is Gd U2 Gc, Nb is Gd U2 Ra, and V perm is Aa move cancelled into Ja.

Keep at it!!

Na is a very easy alg to learn, it a setup of (R U R' U) to a Jb Perm then {U' R U' R'), it will be much faster than what you are currently doing.

Ok, definitely should have known that one.

probably will get that faster,

Thanks @Puzzle Maniac

How is your work on F2L ongoing?

 

[VortexCuber]

I just got my 1st Sub-15 solve on 3x3!!! (14.986) (My previous PB was 16.3 with an OLL skip)
Also, I average sub-25 now and have faster TPS, and know more F2L algs.

 

[pTr]

Nice! Was it a PLL or OLL skip? I still haven't hit a sub-17 without a skip.

 

[VortexCuber]

I believe it was a PLL skip and an easy X-cross.
(By the way, this is my 100th message!)

 

[pTr]

Nice!

 

[VortexCuber]

After finishing learning advanced F2L, should I start learning a 2-look last layer or should I practice better lookahead and pair planning?

 

[pTr]

Wait, what cases do you not know?!

 

[VortexCuber]

Only a few left, like some of the mirror cases because I am not good with fingertricks with my left hand. I should be done learning advanced F2L in a week or two.

 

[pTr]

What are your splits rn?

Mine are:
Cross:2-5
F2L: 9-17
OLL:1-4
PLL:1-2.5 (I've PLL under 2.5ao100)

 

[VortexCuber]

Cross: 2-4
F2L: 10-16
OLL: 1-3.5
PLL: 1-2.5

 

[pTr]

oh damn. bout the same as mine. ig my 13.91 was about the same as your 14.98, 3move cross, and easy F2L into ZBLLS+U02 [U' R' U2' R U R' U R] fancy way of saying PLL skip

 

[VortexCuber]

ZBLLS+U02 [U' R' U2' R U R' U R] fancy way of saying PLL skip

Gosh, for a moment I thought u used zb.

 

[pTr]

haha!

focus on lookahead and pair planning later because thats a bit too advanced for your level. Learn 2-look last layer and master advanced f2l
