Oh Feliks is a really nice guy and is cracked at cubing. My PB is 34 mostly because I stopped after getting sub 40. I should get back to cubing but I never seem to find the time!

Also, I'm not too sure how to solve the 1x1 cube. I found a few tutorials but they're too hard to follow. I would really love and appreciate it if someone could explain how it's done.

    somebody8442 The 1x1 meme really stumped me for a while when I started cubing haha. Must get one one day!

    Joseph41 Interesting re: red cross. I think red/orange is probably my least likely cross, because I actually learnt from green. I can't remember why, but I moved to white fairly soon after I think.

    Interesting. Are you colour neutral (or mostly for white/yellow green/blue)?

    The real question is how do you set up your csTimer...

    J Perm has a pretty solid 1x1 tutorial, I managed to finally get sub-1 minute after following his tips!

    Also, more than a week late but Tymon officially broke sub-5 average!

      hums_student Interesting. Are you colour neutral (or mostly for white/yellow green/blue)?

      Nah, not colour neutral, though honestly I haven't really tried much at all. White/yellow I'd say are completely the same. Green is probably the next best, and then my times would suffer if I tried for blue/red/orange. I have no doubt it's worth working on, but there are also probably bigger fish to fry when it comes to my times haha.

      This is very, very nice, and I might have to steal your setup. I had mine all nice (similar kinda aesthetic), but then had to re-set stuff on my laptop and never bothered changing it back - so now it's just that jarring default aesthetic lol. Do you use any other timers? I have Twisty Timer for phone, which does the job.

      Genuinely a ridiculous average, particularly given one of the solves had to be re-done due to an incorrect scramble. Surely one of the most clutch solves in history, that last one.

      I reckon Max must be very close to sub-five, too (got WR2 single recently). And Matty. It's only a matter of time.

        I have byte cube on my phone, though I don't use it much. I'm thinking of buying a stackmat timer, though I'm also not sure whether I'm ready for that level of commitment yet. Have you ever used a stackmat timer?

        Yes absolutely insane! Hats off to the guy.

        I know people keep saying this every time someone breaks a barrier, but I wonder if sub-5 is the limit... I guess it's technically possible to get a sub-4 average but I feel like it wouldn't be achieved for a very long time.

        nek minit Yusheng Du gets a 3.47 average

        Also, do you have any favourite cubing YouTubers? I'm very basic but J Perm has literally shaved about 20 seconds off my times.

          hums_student Never used Stackmat, but similarly thinking of investing. I'm not sure how much I'd really use it, though, unless I start going to comps.

          YouCubers - I like J Perm, CubeHead, Tingman, Z3Cubing. Matty has really chill comp vlogs.

          GAN 13 is coming soon - anybody interested in purchasing it? 👀

          23 days later

          Gan is way too expensive

          2x2: MGC, with CLL, global high 3s
          3x3: RS3M, regular cfop, global 14.8s. I might get one of the tornado v3s soon tho
          4x4: Meilong, yau, global 1:07
          Square-1: Volt v2, vandenberg, global 19s
          I also have a pyraminx and megaminx but I rarely practice
          And ofc, square-1 is the best event

            rst Love this!

            Tornado V3 looks awesome. I actually didn't love the V2, which I know is an unpopular opinion. It felt good to me to turn, but I never solved well on it. Did you use the V2 at all?

            • rst replied to this.

              rst Nice one. What are your comp experiences? Any advice for somebody on the edge about going to one?
