Interested in ZBLL? ZB masterclass at Nats 2015

[AlexMaass]

My girlfriend recorded it on her phone, but it's pretty far away.

I pretty much just made a fool of myself and basically said stuff that almost every advanced cuber already knows.
It was pretty much just a refresher course for newbies who were interested in ZBLL.

I also skipped a ton of stuff and lacked any sense of coherence.

I even skipped two really really important concepts like recognition stuff, and how to "build" algs and recognise what move sequences within algs do and how to manipulate them to solve multiple cases. Example:
1: Changing double turns into wide double turns within algs will change edge cycles, but maintain corner permutation.
2: If part of an alg is 2 gen, adding slight modifications to that part will retain corner permutation, but change corner orientation and edge cycle.
3. Changing the direction of parts of alg will allow you to solve several more cases, and instead of memorising a new alg, you just remember the change in direction.
4. How the beginning of an alg will hint how the alg ends, so you don't actually have to memorise the end because the cube gives you hints on how to figure out the end of the alg if you've forgotten it.

Sorry for overhyping it, and apologies for not being more prepared!

eh I guess you can make a better version at home or something

I'm working on uploading Chris' seminar tonight.

LOL, At first I though You meant your seminar. But then I relized since you were posting it here, it was the ZBLL seminar you meant.

Lol, I thought the exact same thing.

Thank you Henry!

I'm interested in watching that one, and some others. When will the other ones be uploaded?

btw you forgot alg of the week this Friday...

It's up on cyotheking's channel!

Chris (Tran):
Shut up. Your seminar was interesting.

The seminar was an eye-opener for me. Though faster people probably know about most of the content, the number of people who didn't know about this aspect of ZBLL was far more, so I'd say it was pretty good.

Also, I would like to watch the one about not getting nervous.

Please make videos on those subjects. I would really like to know how to make my own algs and would probably try to make an entire list of algs. I would also like to know more about transitioning from beginner ZBLL to advanced ZBLL.

That seminar was cancelled by the speakers a couple days before the event.

Did they get nervous?

Hey fellow cubers.
I come to you now in my hour of confusion seeking advice
So the big question is what method I should focus my next half-decade or so learning. I apologise in advance for the post length.
ROUX vs ZBLL.

So I avg 13 second on boring old CFOP without full OLL. I started on ZBLL a while ago and I know the full T set. But I got a bit fed up of CFOP so I have been doing roux for a week and I avg around 25 seconds now. I like roux a lot but I also like ZBLL.
I want to do the next big thing in cubing. ZBLL and roux are both relatively uncharted territory. I am very good at M moves but I am also fast at learning Algorithms.
So skill-wise both could be a good pursuit. I need some help here people so what do you think I should focus on?

cfop.


with a bunch of add-ons like edge control, vls, winter, summer, zbll, coll, etc. and use all dem MU u-perms to make you happy.

Tons of this is news to me.

shutup. your seminar was great, even if you skipped some stuff. you were so professiobal about it and it was very entertaining to watch. it was also very motivating! huge alg sets dont seem that insane anymore, and just like you said, you just have to be smart about it.

I still dont know what i want to use between roux and cfop. I might learn zz.
