Good Luck! Are the Averages your global averages?

I don't know what you mean by "global averages". Could you elaborate? I haven't competed in any actual competitions yet.

Your overall average.

NebraskanSpeedsolver said:

yes those are my overall, however my 3x3 average is off of 250 solves because I have gotten a lot faster, and I was at 1000 on my first csTimer set, so I exported those and started a new session.

What is your ao1000?

Good progression yo.

my ao1000 was around 25 seconds. I am currently trying a new 4x4 method that I think could help me transition to getting faster times.

Step 1: Build centers
Step 2: Build cross
Step 3: Make the first 3 pairs with 3-2-3 method
Step 4: Finish pairing
Step 5: Solve like 3x3

I feel that this is an improvement over reduction without learning the entirety of Yau

My recommendation is to start with making your two opposite centers, and then make 1 cross edge, and preserve it for the next 4 centers, once you're comfortable with that, move to 2 cross edges, and then 3. You can work on learning 3-2-3 edge pairing at the same time. The transition to yau should make it easier than just switching.

I actually really like this method. After doing the first 3 edges, I only have a few more edges to pair, which I can pair really easy.

I have tried a couple different methods to make learning Yau easier, but for right now I really like this method.

Because I am too lazy to learn all of Yau. Plus I have a ton of schoolwork on top of that.

What is ur ao100? Also if u want can we race to sub15 ao5 i average around 22

Same here. Sure, however I'm not too focused on 3x3. more on 2x2 and 4x4 at the moment.

JDAW6 said:

So.. yes?

Click to expand...

Sure, but you will probably win

Isaiah Scott said:

Good Luck! Do you know full PLL?

not quite. focusing on OLL first

Learn PLL first, as it's more important than OLL.

I plan to learn a few OLL cases and then move to PLL. I learned a few PLL so I started learning a couple OLL
