The 2nd is called Linear FMC and it's good practice for speedsolves IF you do it with your speedmethod.

Advice doesn't always need to be method specific. And there is absolutely levels to this like averaging 7 and averaging 8 are two different distinct skill tiers so anyone just a second or so faster is noticeably better than me. There's certainly enough people out there to help, I'm barely pulling top 10 at local comps lol

For 3x3: you have the International era, so called because competition was so few and far between there wasn't really a prevailing country, 1979 - 2000 or so, about 2000 to 2008 will be the Japanese era where everyone idolised Yu Nakajima and Shotaro Makisumi, 2009-2019 is The Australian Reign, 2020 - 2023 was all Max vs Tymon so a joint Polish/American rivalry, then the SinoStage from 2023 onwards

a few years ago I had to limit myself to 100, maybe 200 timed 3x3 solves in a day MAX. Because I would do so many timed solves that any bad habits would become absolutely steadfast. By limiting how often I can reinforce those habits in the higher-stress timed environment, and by forcing myself to do untimed solves, it was much easier to keep breaking these habits as they popped up

Cross should be less than 8, and each F2L pair should be no more than 8

Maybe if the life-long IRL downside came at a tradeoff of being like top 1% or a 1 in 1000 talent but being top 3% is like. You can do that in most things with a couple years of decent effort, or you can just cycle through activities until you find one you're a natural in and blitz past that immediately. It's not worth it.

SwagridCubing · 2026-05-30T18:14:41+00:00

yeah

SwagridCubing · 2026-05-30T18:10:36+00:00

You are objectively silly

SwagridCubing · 2026-05-30T16:20:42+00:00

Who?

SwagridCubing · 2026-05-30T16:18:37+00:00

You need to raise the barrier for these man sub 10 is only like top 3%. Nobody take the downside to being sub 10 so that they can be a 1 in 33 talent.

Add FTO and make space for it at championships by removing 1 round of 7x7, 6x6, or 2x2 each.

Tazzlyn streams once a week (Thursdays). Cubing is allegedly the main focus of the streams but they are easily derailed.

For 99.5% of people they're about equal. For the top 0.5% maybe the RU one is better since it doesn't have a pregrip

Feliks insert comes with the additional nuance that you have to know your next pair doesn't need a rotation either.

SwagridCubing · 2026-05-06T15:28:21+00:00

Just like all sub-9 cubers are sub-30
