So today I learned NISS, block building, and pseudo blocks, and I was wondering what to do after that. I've never done any FMC attempts aside from one that was a DNF. Should I do an FMC attempt or should I learn other things first? (Also I know commutators and EO.) I don't know if there is an...
I have been trying to learn FMC and get a good time with it, but for some reason my Niss isn't working as I believe it should.
Scramble: D' L2 D R U F R' L U' D2 F' L2 U2 L2 B' U2 F2 D2 B'
Inverse: B D2 F2 U2 B L2 U2 L2 F D2 U L' R F' U' R' D' L2 D
I use two cubes for FMC, to have both...
So I attempted the first scramble of the speed FMC for practice in the Weekly 22-49 competition. Scramble:
I was using NISS and normal blockbuilding, and got to a pseudo-F2L-1 case in 18 moves which I was incredibly happy with. However, I was immediately stuck on how to continue with skeletons...
Hi all! I've been thinking about the Snyder method for the last few day as it was recently suggested in my Quantitative Method Analysis Survey ( which I recommend you take ). anyway, I've become interested in revisiting this rather obscure method and its relatives. I've grouped all the method...
Hi all, Silky here. This is going to be a breakdown of a technique that I've come up with or, more accurately, have created a system of description. This is an expansion/generalization of Phasing described in ZZ-b which reduces ZBLL to ZZLL. Here I'll be describing what I'd consider the 3 main...

Hi! I was thinking about a FMC Database, and I saw that Sebastiano made a website for it in 2010, but it doesn't work now, so...
I've developed a google sheet with a database with a lot of information about FMC:
Database FMC
It contained:
- Best method's tutorials.
- Videos with explained...
Let's say you have a cube that's tiled with lego pieces, like the Fanxin Color Brick 3x3. During FMC, instead of conventional insertion stickers, you can stick other legos on the pieces you want to trace; basically, reusable insertion stickers.
I'm fairly sure I'm not the first person to think...
So, the older threads made by Kian Mansour and @Aerma kinda died out and Roux FMC seems fun. So, this will be like a race thread where I'll post 5 scrambles instead of 12( because no one has 12 hours of free time obviously) weekly and you have to use Roux only to find the shortest solution and...
Let's find out who can do the fewest move for this 3x3 scramble.The scramble is: D2 F2 L' D L R2 D' U' R L U2 L' D' B2 D' F U' B F' U B R2 U' F2 L. Red is f and yellow is u
Since I've made a thread on what events should be added, and many people thought events should be taken away before new ones were added, I decided to make a poll on it. 2x2-6x6 are not included because most people will agree are challenging yet don't take too long. Megaminx is also excluded...
The idea of HTORoux is to produce decent to low move counts for Half Turn Only Reduction (HTOR) from the Domino state in a reasonably quick and easy way, making this method ideal for FMC.
The reasons behind this:
There is a high chance for slice move insertions to solve bad edges.
Many bad...
I was wondering what the average amount of moves used per solve is in correlation with a person's average time? I average about 15-17 seconds, and use on average 55-65 (63 ao12) moves per solve. What about everyone else? If I get enough responses, I might compile this into a table for everyone...
