@lime shuttle second one is kinda my average solve, first one is worse, i think a huge problem is my fat pauses? so i end up tilting the cube around like a helicopter joystick and not doing anything, also obviously lack of fingertricks which i probably should force myself to implement, last time you said this angle was fine so i didn't change it, hope its okay

[lime shuttle]

busy rn

got 2 more of spoops solves to recon

[severe ermine]

yeah no worries i can see u doing spoops one

[lime shuttle]

yeah, to start off with your fingertricks for Pi are shit

don't even need the recon for that one

you look, hesitant to turn faster?

this is the most rubiks brand looking turning style I've seen on a speedcube, respectfully

angle is perfect btw

[severe ermine]

😭 idk

i feel like

ill mess shit up if i go faster

[severe ermine]

nice

[lime shuttle]

it looks more like a case of you not expecting the cube to turn that effortlessly whenever you turn it lol

deer-in-headlights type thing

[severe ermine]

maybe its a habit from the 4x4?

[lime shuttle]

possibly

[severe ermine]

but i think i used to solve similarly back then too

[lime shuttle]

it does look very "avoid breaking while turning" now that you say it

[severe ermine]

😭 but at least its somewhat accurate right?

[lime shuttle]

unconfidently accurate, ye

[severe ermine]

gg

how can i remedy this?

[lime shuttle]

do I need to clip this or can you figure out fingertricks on your own

[severe ermine]

ill find something

[lime shuttle]

uh, just kinda mindlessly turn-spam the cube when not actively solving

[severe ermine]

jperm oll vid should be fine right

[lime shuttle]

get used to just, not feeling like the cube is going to explode in a moments notice

[severe ermine]

im also kind of anxious because of the plastic core, ive seen so many people have their cores break that its a little stressful for me if I accidentally turn too early put too much force into it and something goes wrong

[lime shuttle]

bit old but the alg hasn't changed

[lime shuttle]

the cores breaking is almost always never a user error

[severe ermine]

i know what it doesnt require much force to turn the cube but i might end up overdoing it a little when trying to improve this

[lime shuttle]

people at sub 10 and brand new have had cores break

[severe ermine]

ok ill try to think about it a little less

[lime shuttle]

best way to gage your genuine force is to see how innacurate you can get

U2 single flick, miss the layer, barely get a U in, dial from there

[severe ermine]

also, ive found an rs3m v5 dual adjustment for 12 AUD including shipping do u think it might be solid to grab as a 2ndary?

[lime shuttle]

possibly

[severe ermine]

genuine force?

[lime shuttle]

I'll need to re-set-up mine before I sing its praises

[severe ermine]

you also have the DAS one?

[lime shuttle]

you won't be able to be confident in your accuracy without being confident in how to be inaccurate

[lime shuttle]

I got maxed

[severe ermine]

a little different then lol

[lime shuttle]

ye

[severe ermine]

i see

ok ill keep this in mind

[lime shuttle]

back to reconning

it's refreshing to see someone do the cross solution I also found

Aqari solve 1

view at CubeDB.net

I could add a ton of pointless regrips to the OLL too but I already covered that ground

[severe ermine]

yeah

guess im regripmaxxing now

[lime shuttle]

here's what these recons look like before I edit them btw

[severe ermine]

didnt even know cubedb had these features

or is it like

u add them

[lime shuttle]

red means "invalid move"

[severe ermine]

the symbols

and then edit

[lime shuttle]

if I type the actual words there'd be a lot more wide U moves

[severe ermine]

true

[lime shuttle]

so I use symbols to mark habits and add the habits later

[severe ermine]

cool

[lime shuttle]

first use of a panic symbol btw

[severe ermine]

😭

i should probably cut down on the regrips right

[lime shuttle]

ideally

I do like the 3ish second panic-pause before actually tilting the cube on 2nd pair btw

[severe ermine]

stunlocked

[lime shuttle]

pauses are just lack of confidence btw

the pause is never the actual issue, it's just the thing that manifests from it

[severe ermine]

really?

i feel like when im pausing i just dont know where the pieces are at all lol

or im trying to realize what i have to do

[lime shuttle]

proved the point further

[severe ermine]

but i genuinely dont know where the pieces are a lot of the time what

[lime shuttle]

lack of confidence in where the pieces are

[severe ermine]

but then ill be confident that its in X position and ill end up LBLing 😭

[lime shuttle]

I don't batch pausing and tilting together, btw

like for second pair, you paused, panicked because you paused, then tilted to gather information

4th pair was a pause because of lacked confidence in the case

keep in mind this is just how I personally see it

[severe ermine]

how can i work on this then? do i just do shit without hesitating as much or

[lime shuttle]

I guess

it's mainly recog inconfidence rn, mostly

and while you can train recog, it still takes a while for stuff to set in

[severe ermine]

i see

i dont think ive ever properly trained it, i just solve

[lime shuttle]

ditto

I just spent a while not timing my solves

like, a long while

[severe ermine]

maybe ill have to too

[lime shuttle]

nah, I just got heavily frustrated at stagnating at 33ish

so I avoided that frustration by not using a timer

[severe ermine]

oh

im getting kind of stuck now too though

[lime shuttle]

just so happened that I was kinda lacking on F2L a little

and cross

[severe ermine]

fair

[lime shuttle]

I noticed your left hand is very straight

[severe ermine]

yeah its a little (a lot) neglected by me, its one of the many things ive been putting off

[lime shuttle]

it tends to look like this a lot

whether regripped or not, but a lot while regripping

[severe ermine]

i dont even notice that atp lol, its most likely because i barely do anything with my left when it comes to cubing

[lime shuttle]

I can see that

even when in the perfect opportunity to flick a U move, you almost always push it with the other hand lmao

like, regrip and then neglect the point of the regrip type deal

[severe ermine]

that might be because i find push U moves very satisfying to do 😭

need to fix that too

[lime shuttle]

{bolded moves are fingertricked wrong}

(just push the D' with left ring)

I could police the way you fingertrick your Hook alg but it's 2-look

[severe ermine]

hook is the first oll?

[lime shuttle]

ye

I also just never used the Wide F variant of a hook alg

[severe ermine]

fair u learned the different method lol

[lime shuttle]

the faster method in a majority of contexts

[severe ermine]

is there a better algorithm for 2 adjacent eo?

[lime shuttle]

F unsexy F'

from U2 of where you do yours

does the exact same thing, meh

[severe ermine]

id probably be able to do the F one regripless though

while for wide f its kinda weird

[lime shuttle]

I'll just say to push the [f] while regripping down for sexy

[severe ermine]

for me

[severe ermine]

regrip+left index push and then after sexy pull it back probably?

or push back with the right?

[lime shuttle]

regripless is kinda overworky

guess you could push>flick>flick>push tho

for regripless

[severe ermine]

figured as much then, thanks

[lime shuttle]

I just found [F unsexy F'] to be easier to fingertrick optimally

[severe ermine]

fair

[lime shuttle]

right thumb for both F moves, you could theoretically double flick the first 2 righty moves

[severe ermine]

ok so things to work on

1. less regrips (especially pi oll lol)
2. turning speed/confidence?
3. recog confidence (tilting > drooling?)
4. left hand less stiff
5. fingertricks

anything im missing

[lime shuttle]

Turnspeed confidence comes with better fingertricks generally

both hands a little less stiff, the left one is just more stiff

[severe ermine]

but you said i turn as if i were scared to break the cube so it seems like a general issue outside of just fingertricks i think

[lime shuttle]

just kinda like, experiment with curling your fingers in idle a little more

[severe ermine]

dile?

[severe ermine]

oops

[lime shuttle]

but yeah, you got the dot points on the head

[severe ermine]

@lime shuttle

i managed to apply 2 of the things

that we talked about

since the time you told me to do the drill with tps spamming i was constantly doing that, and ive also forced myself to just do the moves instead of drooling

[lime shuttle]

[severe ermine]

broke my prev ao12 by 2 seconds and ao5 by 1 lol

what a goat

thank you bossman
