Thanks. I forgot how to do that

What is the difference between "gens" of stackmat timers, i.e. gen 2, gen 3?

Whenever I do Gb Perm, most of the time I start doing Ga Perm. (Just started learning Gb)
Has anyone else have that happen to them? How do you stop doing this?

I found using completely different algs for all G perms helped with this problem, although it doesn't make them easier to learn. At least I don't find myself using the wrong one.
Or, just keep practising, and eventually you'll learn which is which.

Is the Aolong V1 more controllable than the Weilong V2?
Aolong V1 or DaYan Zhanchi?

What are some solve breakdowns (splits) for the following 5x5 times: (centers/edges/3x3)
3:00
2:40
2:20

And the following 7x7 times: (centers/edges/3x3)
10:00
8:30
7:00

And the following Megaminx times: (F2L/S2L/LL)
3:00
2:30
2:00

I don't need all of them to be answered by the same person, but if you could just provide some, that would be great.

You could think a bit more in-depth about how you recognise the G perms.

Approximately my method: next to the block's outer stickers there's either opposite colours or adjacent colours visible. That reduces the possible cases from 4 to 2. For my algs which I think are the typical, opposite colours means the alg starts by removing the F2L pair below the block. From there the case is simple to determine based on whether the block fits in R or L, and then the alg is simple to recall. Adjacent colours however mean I start with an R2 move breaking the block. From there, the case is easy to determine based on whether the block fits in B or F, and then the alg is simple to recall.

You might not use the same algs I do, but being able to differentiate the cases is a good start, and with practice it will gradually become easy and automatic. Then, you can also start adding extra algs for the y2 cases of each alg, so that you don't have to AUF as much.

For the stackmat timer gen 3 data port, should the 2.5mm male connector that you insert into it have 3 rings or 2 rings?

Any suggestions for doing the G(a) perm from the back(shown below). I've looked at the wiki, but I need more ideas. How do you guys do handle this case? Any rotationless or good algs?

Hello, I just got a can of CRC Heavy Duty fro my MoYu WeiLong and it says NOT FOR USE ON PLASTICS. Should I still use it??

While I think that differential oil is better, I have used CRC on all of my cubes in the past and it worked great.

CRC is so pre-2010

no

U' R2 U R' U R' U' R U' R2 U' D R' U R D'

 

[guysensei1]

U' R2 U R' U R' U' R U' R2 U' D R' U R D'

You just AUFed... I don't think he wants AUF at the beginning.

Well if there's no better alg from that particular AUF...it's not like doing an extra U' suddenly makes the PLL slow


I do prefer doing the D' at the beginning instead of the end though

How many cross cases are there????? jus curious

F2 D (R' U R' U' R D') F2' (L' U L) ...it's in the wiki (so you've already seen it). Here's how I do it:

Grip right thumb on down face. Flick F2 from above with Right index and Right middle.

Regrip to right thumb on upper face while doing the D with left ring finger. Use right and left index for U and U'. Right middle does the D'. As you do the D', shift left grip so left thumb is on the down face.

Use left index to do all of the F2'. Left thumb can help push the L' and right index does the last U.

... I'll be releasing a guide to my favourite algs for all 84 angles in the next week or two, will announce it on forums.

24*22*20*18 distinct cases

you should be able to bring it down to a quarter of the cases to 47520 if you are [y] neutral, but then I feel something is off

no idea if you are not having fixed cross colour though

I solve the cross only on white
thnx btw
