hums_student Yay! I love that this is a thing. I'll copy across content from a previous post below re: current mains and times:
2x2: Meilong 2M
3x3: GAN Mini M Pro, though more recently I've been using the MoreTry Tianma V3, and that's a real contender (though much too loud). Past mains have included the GAN 11 M Duo, Valk Elite, RS3M 2020, MeiLong M, Dayan TengYun V1, and GAN 354M. I switch fairly often, but I'd say GAN Mini M Pro for sure if pushed.
4x4: Meilong 4M
5x5: Meilong 5M
6x6: YJ YuShi V2 M
7x7: YJ YuFu V2 M
Of the above, I only ever do long sessions with 3x3 (and mains in other NxNs probably reflect that). The others are cool but don't appeal to me as much, and I'm not as good at them.
Favourite PLL is definitely H perm, but I use the beginner method still, despite cubing for 10+ years on and off lol. It's been a long-term thing for me where I've been trying to motivate myself to learn CFOP, but I've just never done it, and now my muscle memory is so hard to break. Current PBs:
Single solve: 10.01 (GAN Mini M Pro)
Mean of 3: 16.87 (MoreTry Tianma V3)
Average of 5: 17.79 (GAN Mini M Pro)
Average of 12: 19.09 (MoreTry Tianma V3)
Average of 100: 21.37 (GAN Mini M Pro)
Average of 1,000: 22.59 (GAN Mini M Pro)
Average of 5,000: 23.06 (GAN Mini M Pro)
Average of 10,000: 23.32 (GAN Mini M Pro)

Can you solve square-1? I've been trying, but can't even get it back to cube form yet lol. Do you always solve for white, or also yellow?
What did you think of the comp experience, by the way? I know you didn't compete, but how was the vibe? I've been considering for ages, and I know they're always supposedly really wholesome, but I'm just nervous haha.
