I actually wasn't suprised when he said that Yiheng only practiced for an hour a day. I theorized that a lot of the chinese cubers focus more on quality of practice, where as a lot of the rest of the world focuses on a large volume of solves. I came up with this because of watching their technique and just how good it was and how it was improving in such a short amout of time. I saw how good Yiheng's turning was, and how good Xuanyi's inspection was, and I noticed that no one else is quite as good as them with actual technique. And sure enough I started implementing a lower solve volume, but higher quality practice into my own solves and I started breaking PBs from 2 years ago. I've never had a sub 7 average in my life and I think I got 2 within 1 month recently.
ZB also requires hundreds of more algs on the last f2l slot to set up the last layer ZBLL. That would take forever. Better than CFOP but takes extremely long to learn.
@ I have looked at this statistic and showed how zz users reach sub 12 quicker than cfop and roux users. Personally I think it could be not enough people with natural talent use zz which is why people apparently consider it slower. Roux as of now is pretty much shown its supreme dominance in OH
What concerns me with Xuanyi is knowing and executing flawlessly full ZB at the age of 7 can not occur organically. We're talking hundreds and hundreds of algs and this takes YEARS to learn and perfect. There may well be ethical considerations to how his parents have driven him to this level at such a young age. Logically they must have had him practising for AT LEAST 4 or 5 hours a day (quite probably more) from when they first gave him a cube (realistically not much more than 3 years ago), and it cannot be healthy for a child of such a tender age to hypo focus on one activity. I know of very demanding parents who I witness using their children as pawns in their competitive worldview, seeking validation from their successes, and this has been an issue in competitive sport for a long time. It seems now though that it has come to cubing, and this makes me nervous.
Quick two cents: I've met Xuanyi's mom many times, talked online, and she's one of the nicest cubing parents I've met. She is genuinely supportive, understanding and open to sharing. She is not at all a controlling helicopter parent that monitors Xuanyi making him practice every second and getting angry when he does something wrong or gets bad results. Rather, I see it as Xuanyi being very talented, and getting strong support from his family.
@@antoineccantin Im glad to hear that. But can you explain how a 7 year old has learnt 800+ algorithms which he can recognize, recall and execute flawlessly without substantial external pressure? I would take a LOT of convincing that it is organic.
@@accesscrimea probably the same way that an average 7 year old learns 8000+ words and sentence patterns, knows how to recognize, recall, understand and use them in sentences. That is, through some external pressure of course, but mostly consistent exposure and practice.
@@antoineccantin@antoineccantin language acquisition in children is an entirely different beast for myriad reasons I don't think I need to list. Not even close. I would love to know how this has been made possible but remain highly skeptical unless proven otherwise!

I might try this strategy by not practicing much but targetting specific issues
the end 💀
really why do we try💀💀💀

A lot of folks are starting to speculate that a barebones zz is even better. EO Cross with ZBLL seems to be outright better than zbls

5:45 an alg for each yellow (not yellow if color neutral) cross solved case. All the oriented edges cases.
6:44 I'm on team "do two knots and knot them together" 😂
God gave me quite a few gifts. Beeing able to correctly tie my shoes is not one of them.
2:40 ngl I'm 14 and my school isn't that serious yet. I'm still on secoundary school. The end of this year I'll have to choose a course tho.
1:20 My sub 20 global average barrier was broken that way. One day on vacations I picked up the cube and started doing 18s
Literally the same happened to me some days ago with the exact same barrier
Under i hour Gan
We are doooomde
1 hour training is probably targeting areas he's weak at (prolly none idk)
Why do we even try💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

I would like to have an hour a day to practice cubing
Same lol 😂
哇塞，餐厅哥的英文好厉害！
他的华文也好厉害！
我是他。
If you lift weights the entire day, of course you will not improve, you will just be fatigued.
So true!! Rest days for gainz 💪💪💪
What if yiheng mom just want ed every one to think she is not strict and she made Antonie lie
That is very rude of you even to suggest tbh
I said not strict with school, she is definitely very strict about cube competitions. This, especially regarding possible infractions.
Under 5 year gang
First
Proud of myself
