I'm making a video on my cubing channel @GTCubes and wanted some input from other cubers.

Not being CN as early as possible, procrastination of learning the full set of algs for their method, using bad fingertricks

 

[DuckubingCuber347]

Not being knowledgeable enough when you start cubing to pick a method other than CFOP.

Learning algs instead of focusing on the more intuitive parts of the solve

 

[LBr]

Not consolidating algs

 

[Eli Apperson]

Only watching and getting information from a couple popular channels

I think you are on the wrong thread. This is about mistakes, not truths.

Please, if the events were jokes the WCA would never have considered them anyway, if not why isn't 1x1 held at comps?

He has tried them, without a doubt. To a lot of people, they are joke events. Getting enlightened by trying them doesn't do anything lol.

Yes, I very much agree with you. I will go step further though. I think that the 3x3 two-handed event is all that matters. The rest could just go away.
