Is that ALL the cases?

What is the number of combinations for corners, centers, and skewb itself?

All the theory, except l5c, but there are many other tutorials out there so...
If you are serious about skewb, learn KK, NS, YJ or pseudo fl, there are all sub-4-able

what about sarah advanced? I am currently learning KK, but is Sarah advanced worth it?

..I seem to be stuck at improving for Skewb. I use Sarah Intermediate and I average about Sub-20.. What might be some things I could look into to get faster?

Thanks.. I'm guessing there's also a Hedgeslammer version of this?

 

[Wylie28]

can you do a rotationless u-perm? that saved a lot of time for me (at least i think it helped a lot i learned it almost immedietly so its hard to tell)

New skewb pb averages, and a question

I just got a pb ao5: 9.18, and a pb ao12: 9.33! I use Sarah's beginner method. When do you recommend on switching to Sarah's Intermeditate method?

As soon as possible. It's not much extra to learn at all, but it helps to eliminate pauses between steps 2 and 3.

What is the best way to generate skewb algorithms?

 

[Seanliu]

Definitely. I know a guy who's sub-8 (or 7 idk) with purely intermediate.

I know somebody who is sub-5 with intermediate.

I watched this video, and that's all good. but when I enter the Weekly competition on the SpeedSolving Forum. There are D moves. How do you do D?!?!?!??!?!?!?!

 

[FastCubeMaster]

Oh wait. Is D replacing B??

in that case I'm all fine.

 

[Note]

If a corner cap is popped off at the end of the solve, is it considered a DNF?

No.

5b5) If at the end of the attempt some parts of the puzzle are physically detached or not fully placed, the following regulations apply:
5b5b) If one part with one coloured face is affected, the puzzle is considered solved.

 

[Cale S]

If a corner cap is popped off at the end of the solve, is it considered a DNF?

5b5d) If one or more parts with more than one coloured face is affected, the puzzle is considered unsolved (DNF).

If the corner cap includes all 3 stickers like a Fangshi, it's a DNF
