Hi

[@algo-rhythms6689]

You are one of the greatest inspirations for me! I have learnt full OLL and on my way to learn the entire CFOP. You are a legend!

[@ScoochCubing]

Thanks I appreciate it!! Best of luck on your cfop journey

[@algo-rhythms6689]

@@ScoochCubing Thank you! I hope to meet you in some comps!

[@Feverstockphoto]

Great job with the video. It was nice meeting you and the others at the comp. You definitely have more personal records to look ahead to in the future and congrats on being sponsored. Sorry most of my videos were jumping in and out of focus but glad you found something you could use. Onwards and upwards, will catch up at future comps 👍

[@ScoochCubing]

Was amazing seeing you there! I thought your videos were fine, but it was annoying cause my hair was sticking up a little bit and I didn't realise LOL. So I got a video that you can't notice it too much. Thanks again for shooting the comp!

[@Feverstockphoto]

@@ScoochCubing Noticed the hair as well 🙂. No worries 👍

[@zpccubing688]

Your 3x3 finals story reminds me of that one time where I lost my MGC 4x4, so I had to use this terrible non-magnetic WuQue 4x4 for a competition, and I got a 1:09 average when I average sub-1.

[@ScoochCubing]

Oh no 😭 it’s kind of crazy how much not having your main can affect your solving sometimes

[@martiniantoine4667]

it's true that the tornado v3 is way too fast out of the box and it's quite hard to setup but if you manage to do it this cube is god tier. I can understant why you love the v2 though. My two main problems with it are the size of the cube and the corner cutting but else I love cubing with it and I have actually used it as my backup cube at my comp last week while I mained the v3

[@ScoochCubing]

Yeah for the v2 corner cutting you really have to control your moves more. After a while you kind of get used to it. And it's just soo smooth. But yeah I'll have to try set up the v3 and see what the fuss is about

[@A.HalimChoong]

[@bigoofersrock]

You can fix your tornado V3 by using a q-tip in the pieces to remove the lube quickly. You could also just open up the tornado and use standard cleaning practices, like wiping it with some paper towels.

[@ScoochCubing]

Yeah I opened it up cleaned it out a few weeks ago and my friend lubed it a bit. It’s still quite fast but a lot better now. I don’t really understand why you would use a q tip if you can just take it apart and use like tissues or whatever

[@bigoofersrock]

@@ScoochCubing I used a q-tip a few times bc im lazy and also didn;t wanna fully remove the lube, although I had overlubed it. It's better for removing light amounts of lube.

Yeah learn full PLL. It will take a while and it will be a struggle sometimes, but it’s so worth it! Also watch a bunch of videos on Cross/F2L tips and tricks, and example solves. Improving at the first two layers will drop your times down a lot

[@LucasD0wling]

im trying to learn cll what tips whould you have to learn it also your an amazing insiration to me and the whole reason i want to learn cll is to be as good as you one day in 2x2

[@ScoochCubing]

Haha thanks! For learning CLL use an algorithm trainer. The one I always use and still use is j perm’s trainer: jperm.net Some of the algorithms he use aren’t the best though. Like they’re fine but I think you should learn the algorithms with Antonie Paterakis’s KZbin tutorials, he has European record average. Then you can use his algs with the jperm.net trainer (you don’t necessarily have to type in each individual algorithm into the website, just learn from the videos then train recognition with website)

Wait wtf you don't know how to setup cubes at all? If a cube is too fast just drop some more lube in it or increase the spring tensions, if it's too flimsy tighten spring travel. Also out of the box 3x3s are usually fast and uncontrollable, after break in they should slow down a bit. I mean you got sponsored so I guess you'll be getting setup cubes from now on anyways, but it takes like 10 minutes to learn how to setup cubes. The tornado V3 is a very fast cube but you can always slow down fast cubes with setup. But you probably should have got the V3 flagship as that cube is slower. The V2 doesn't corner cut that well so you'll always lockup with it more.

[@ScoochCubing]

Yeah I should really get used to setting up. I've done bits and pieces before but nothing too much. Thanks for the advice
