What color do you make your cross with?

[mahajarama]

I was wondering what color everyone uses to form their cross. Do you always have a set color that you use to start with? Or do you try to scout out an "easy" color during your 15 seconds of inspection time?

I uh make two crosses. One on the White face and one on the Blue (which are opposite on my cube). I tend to stick to the same colors so that I can hold the cube the same way each time and become familiar with the orientation of the colors... If I keep changing the colors on the faces it causes me to hesitate... moreso when I've 3-4 cubes with different sticker orientations ;p

I always start with white because you nearly always can solve the Cross in 7 moves and I have too much delays when starting with another colour

Sorry if I get you wrong, but that sounds a bit like you are thinking that you can only do that with white ;-) Of course you can do the cross in 7 moves, no matter which color you start with.

Aren't you confusing cause and effect now.

I you wouldn't always start with white you also wouldn't have much delays when starting with another colour right?



And yes, this question has come up in a previous thread, but so have hundreds of other questions (where to buy, how to lube, how to become faster). That is just the nature of current forums where it is easier to start a new thread than to find an old one.

Although often less, if you are colour neutral!

I prefer white, beacause I'm used to it.

 

[apoplectic]

i do white because i can remember the color scheme better with the white side down,for example:whats red +yellow?orange1whats on the other side of red?orange! same with the blue/green relationship.

 

[joey]

You can't remeber it better that way, it's just what you are used to.

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

i scout to see which is easier of yellow or white. that way my recognition isn't slowed down during the f2l edge pieces at all, being the same either way

I am colour neutral. I'm thinking of switching to just one colour though.

 

[Odin]

Any color I think will be easiest/ any color that has the most cubies solved.

@ AvGalen, Do the mods go through all the posts/threads and delete the old threads every once in a while?

 

[d4m4s74]

neutral, but if there's 2 equal crosses I choose the lighest (better for recognition)

 

[Hadley4000]

That was one hell of a bump!

I am neutral.

 

[coolmission]

lol bump

White: I am used to it and if I made a cross with a different color, my F2L skills would fail

Have you ever noticed how OLD this thread is?

I use blue, but after seeing this poll I want to switch to orange .
