    Default Hi, I'm skippykev

    Hello, I am someone who's relatively new to speedcubing. I decided to try this hobby, nay, WAY OF LIFE out after being impressed by videos I watched on YouTube about it. At first, I used a Rubik's cube I found in my house that's a few years old, and now I use a broken-in (but sadly unlubed) ZhanChi, with an alternate color sequence based on that on my old cube (white [U] opposite red [D], green [F] opposite yellow [B], orange [L] opposite blue [R]. Currently, my average is <60 and my personal best is 39.14. I'm really forward to learning more about the speedcubing community and I hope to do much better as time passes!

    Nope. Japanese color scheme is white opposite blue, yellow opposite green, and red opposite orange.

    That is the weirdest colour scheme I've ever heard of. I don't think that is the Japanese colour scheme (although it could be I suppose... someone else can confirm this). I think I have a cube with Japanese colour scheme. It's white/blue, red/orange, green/yellow.

    Oh yeah, I forgot... and welcome!

    Yes, I know it's rather unorthodox, but it really works for me! And thanks for all the welcome greetings, folks!
