[@morgan_yeh06]

At your level you’re bound to get something crazy soon, keep it up bro 💪

[@Cube-Dude]

This was so cool to see in person and I can’t wait to see what your solves are like in future competitions

[@MazezCubing]

You will do it one day, Kyle!

[@theroyalkiwi8848]

You'll get it Kyle, never give up!

[@KotegawaYui]

noo counting 7 😢

[@tooch976]

Don’t sweat it man, that last solve was the most entertaining of all of em!!! The utter disappointment on your face and the way you threw the cube up…then practically stood up and turned around before the solved cube hit the table was pure gold.

[@3DCubing]

You will get it next time!!

[@xuananator]

I felt that last solve viscerally

[@johnybrug5406]

Man, you are putting a lot of pressure on yourself! This time you didn't get it, but keep looking forward to next competitions, and perhaps you will break it then!

[@TopTubeSnippets]

The rage quit at the end brooo, I'm on the floor. Tbh I would've choked that aswell.

[@notanonymousperson]

Aw man... well what success comes without "failure" Sad to hear, but better luck next time Kyle!

[@benjaminwasfound2]

your messed up solve is better than my pb

[@curiousNic]

It wasn't meant to be this time but I'm sure your time to shine (officially) will come in the not so distant future.

[@Appleboi69]

Do you turn fast cause of ur lookahead, if so the how far can u look and how much do u plan in inspection?

[@KyleSantucci]

i turn fast because i turn fast, lookahead helps solve tps though. I normally see 2 pairs or more, sometimes 1 if the scramble is bad.

[@karifurai8479]

You are one of the greatest cubers in the world. You just need to go to more comps and get over your comp nerves :D Nobody can compete with your solves at home

How do you tension your cube

[@KyleSantucci]

number 2, 4 clicks

[@rileydexter2501]

You can do it next time!

[@bd709tarifahmedsami9]

which setting are you using in your gan 12 maglev ?

[@maxxiong]

Rip Brennen thinks you will beat him soon

[@Meessiid]

How did you get so good any advice for someone who averages 15 seconds

[@KyleSantucci]

practice a lot, and learn from top solvers and try to implement their techniques into your solves. i also recommend filming your solves and going over them again and seeing where your weaknesses are.

[@Meessiid]

@@KyleSantucci Thank you

[@Aladdindoescubes]

you'll soon get a good average don't be too mad about this, shit happens

[@Hearing_637]

How do you recognise L coll?

[@KyleSantucci]

top 2 corner pieces are either adj, oppo, or same, then from there it is pretty easy from like every angle to distinguish the two.

[@Hearing_637]

@@KyleSantucci thank you!

[@Hearing_637]

​​@@KyleSantucci and when you have L zb and there isn't any block in that 2x2 square and the pieces are adj adj. How do you recognise those cases? Through pseudo bars?

[@KyleSantucci]

@@Hearing_637 well looking at the 2glls which the top 2 pieces are adjacent, there is only 3 cases with no blocks (2 if you don't count h perm triple sune case) which makes it easy to do from there. The other 9 have at least one block when you look at the 3 sides (from the angle i think you are talking about at least) I don't use pseudo bars or at least that isn't what i think of them as, they are just patterns and the way the cube looks to me.

[@Hearing_637]

@@KyleSantucci thank you! Oh I thought you recognise Ls only by looking at coll and the square but you are looking also at the third side?

[@thecalculatedcreativecoder1428]

What was the tps on the 5.37 J perm?

[@KyleSantucci]

10.43 overall, the pll was 11 moves in 0.82 = 13.41, RUL Ja perm is not a spammy PLL so thats why it isnt like 17+

[@BrinaSun]

lol suboptimal timer stop tbh i would stop it as fast as possible even when its gonna be a terrible time and wont improve the average (just so i can have a slightly less bad time)

[@KyleSantucci]

nah the last timer stop was optimal

[@BrinaSun]

tru

[@jacksonpichurski7569]

ya u tell him lil bro

[@linnapvicy9968]

bro the last solve you was like you turned as fast as possible, this is the mistake about nervousness that many cubers get. So try to control your nervousness while solving the last solve.

[@KyleSantucci]

i really wasn't going super fast, but I could have done better if i turned a little bit calmer/controlled yeah

[@ClockSolver]

the nerves really got to you at the end, try relaxing yourself to get better times(works for me, but idk for you)

[@KyleSantucci]

hard to relax in that situation lol, I tried

[@ClockSolver]

@@KyleSantucci lol, just try to imagine you were doing some casual solves

Bad luck but insanely efficient

[@NehaPatel-ii6nh]

Kyle..At home you have good turning but a comps you'r turning is shacky(just trying to help)

[@KyleSantucci]

yes i am aware, that is what nerves do (alongside making my hands freezing cold)

[@brokin_official]

You can do better

[@Hearing_637]

From which angle do you recognise pi zbll?

[@KyleSantucci]

i recog from the same angle as the speedcubedb pi zbll images, but i;m pretty sure tymon does it from a U angle from that (easier recognition with the 3 sides) and mine can also be done from a U angle so i am working on getting that fast.

[@Hearing_637]

Thank you!
