CFOP OH? You know Roux is better

I needed to try it. After ao100 with CFOP I'll ao100 with Roux and next I'll decide which to choose. It might be CFOP because my lookahead grows when I practice OH.

My desire to learn all CMLL grows when I practice OH, and I hate Nperm (especially) on OH. I've searched another one, I'm even considering permuting the corners during last slot, just to avoid Nperm or maybe learn the 6 algs and recognition (that's hard) to leave me with just 7 CMLLs (but probably I would need to solve the cube in only one orientation), but I'm just gonna be brave and try to learn and practice all the CMLL algs also for OH.

Dont you do Yperm for diagonal swap? Or Eperm? I used to do it in OH Roux.

 

[muchacho]

Which algs exactly? I might try. A few days ago I started using R U R' U Jperm U' R U' R' ...not good but better that the Nperm I was using.

The N-perms are the worst PLLs! You can use the Y-perm for a diagonal swap CMLL:

F R U' R' U' (R U R' F') (R U R' U') (R' F R F')

 

[muchacho]

Thanks, I'll try that!

This one for example:

F R U' R' U' (R U R' F') (R U R' U') (R' F R F')

I used to do Eperm which is built of 2 OLLs/COLLs but they are not great for OH.

For 2H you should consider the E-Perm or Y-Perm for a diagonal swap:
(l U' R' D R U R' D') (R U R' D R U' R' D') x
(F R U' R' U' R U R' F') (R U R' U' R' F R F')

For OH you might consider the OH Y-Perm for a diagonal swap:
R2 U' R' U R U' x' U' z' U' R U' R' U' z U R

If you really want to use a N-Perm during OH, just use the RUL algs:
(R' U L' U2' R U' L) (R' U L' U2' R U' L)
(R U' L U2' R' U L') (R U' L U2' R' U L')

If you want some inspiration for OH CMLLs take a look at the COLL page in my signature.

Rotations are not my thing (but I do z2 in my solves), 4 of those may be too much for me. I'll check your page, I'll be learning algs for the next few weeks (also for two hands, almost done Antisune, only Sune set left).

The rotations put me off at first but it is now my favourite and fastest diagonal swap for OH:

I've just been looking at the results of the Birmingham Open:

@Selkie - 6 out of 10 possible PBs so far... great performances across the board!
@mark49152 - You didn't need the Pyraminx to guarantee a PB... almost sub-20 for 5BLD. Sub-20 average for Pyra.
@Shaky Hands - Solid Pyraminx debut. PBs of course!

 

[Selkie]

Thanks @Logiqx . Very pleased but particularly in 5x5 where I got my fastest ever solve. 10 PBs for the day. Looking forward to 3x3, 4x4 and 6x6 tomorrow.

Indeed great results for @mark49152 and @Shaky Hands

 

[mark49152]

Good haul of PBs there Chris and Andy, and nice to see you today. Best of luck tomorrow!

I was pleased with my 5BLD result but apologies to Andy for the uncontrollable coughing fit that led me to abandon my second attempt. Thanks for judging anyway mate!

Wow. Some fine performances since I last checked. Well done guys!

I see there was also a WR average for Clock and a CR average for Square-1 (world #2).

Wow, nice job Evan and Charlie!

 

[pglewis]

Congrats on all the comp successes and good luck tomorrow.

Also, I just realized I wish Qiyi had reserved the WuQue name for their upcoming clock release... because, c'mon, "woo-koo clock"!

 

[Shaky Hands]

@Shaky Hands - Solid Pyraminx debut. PBs of course!

Thanks Mike. Good to get Pyra on my WCA profile, even if I only spent 15 minutes learning it. Overall, I think my Clock results are today's biggest success for me. My DNF was only out by ~45 minutes (i.e.: a 3/4-click) and the 25+sec solve was due to a timer problem. Fingers crossed I get at least 1 PB in something tomorrow too.

I see there was also a WR average for Clock and a CR average for Square-1 (world #2).

Yes. Big applause for both of them. Also 2x AfR for Jesse.

Thanks Mark. Was good to see you popped in; am really happy for your 5BLD success (how often can people say they've beaten their competition PB by 13 minutes?) and don't worry too much about the coughing... I have a really good immune system!

 

[h2f]

@mark49152 you make me jelaous. You did 5bld again.

 

[newtonbase]

Good luck today @Selkie and @Shaky Hands
