[WR] Rami Sbahi - 20 FMC single

[qqwref]

timeless: Rami don't play

 

[Tim Major]

Not just an LL skip, proper FMC stuff :tu

Really not looking forward to a sub 20 FMC WR.

Huge congrats Rami, Awesome!

Am I the only one picturing Rami trying very hard to keep quiet once he found the 4 move cancellation insertion? xD

First thing I imagined. Just those eyes buggin out, trying to not jump out of his seat. lol

Thanks! At least somebody has respect for this.

Why wouldn't one have respect for it? It is a simple fact that FMC solutions in the sub23 range either need

- a decent amount of luck and a good cuber with advanced FMC skills or
- a really stupid amount of luck and a big skip.

Your solution proves that you belong to the first category. You happened to draw a good ticket in the FMC scramble lottery and managed to use it well with your FMC skills, hence congratz and enjoy the record.

Congrats Rami!

He's getting all the WRs that were held the longest. If this keeps up, he'll get the pyra WR too.

Good luck getting 3x3 avg.

Yeah, this definitely did not happen lol

Anyway, massive congrats, Rami. It's gonna haunt me that I didn't find this

I have a new found respect for you Rami. 2x2 is one thing but FMC requires much more skill, it isn't just ractice like the NxN events, you need to know the cube and have a large database of algorithms in your mind to be good at it. Although this scramble was lucky, you still managed to get a sub-30 move mean which is incredible.

Next stop, Pyraminx single

I entirely disagree, I think there is far more skill in getting 2x2 average WR than FMC single world record.

you need to know the cube and have a large database of algorithms in your mind to be good at it

Sounds like a good description of the skills needed for 2x2, yet you use it to describe his FMC single.

 

[TMOY]

how many hours of cubing do you play per day?

He does not cube. He only plays rummy.

(SCNR. And that stupid joke works better in French (French word for "rummy" is "rami").)

So was that solution optimal then?

No. Optimal was 18.

... or 10BLD or something.

Tim is absolutely right. I got a 28.33 mean and I'm not even full OLL.

wtffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff [excuse the tiny spam, I can't believe what happened]

I can't believe this OMGGG

Rami is the next Feliks, for sure... OMG!!

20 moves!!!!!!! WTFFFF

Yep. To get sub 30 mo3 in FMC you just need to
1. be good at blockbuilding
2. Know what premoves/NISS is and how to use it
3. Know how to do insertions
4. Get a little lucky (or just be awesome like few people and almost always get good solutions )

I may have exaggerated a bit when I said the FMC WR is much better than the 2x2 average, but I like the fact that Rami challenges the 'Young speedcubers only solve 2x2, Pyra and Skewb well' stereotype by setting a WR in the event that everyone expects young speedcubers to do the least.

Oh boy I hope there's a video!
