Maybe you're thinking of WV(Winter Variation).
So obviously it is better to choose the option which does not require the u2 at the end.
But you have to be pretty good to see in advance which way to go. I’m guessing this is the kind of thing sub15 solvers have incorporated into their solves and do effortlessly at the end of the solve.
I'm sub 15 and I randomly pick between doing a U then U perm from the front, or U' then U perm from the back. I don't really have a system for it. In fact, I've seen Feliks in this position and he did a U' then a U perm from the back and a U2 at the end. This is the solve: http://cubesolv.es/solve/4993. Here's a slow motion of it: https://i.imgur.com/YO3H4HY.gifv. It was a 4.99 second solve, so that shows you that this consideration shouldn't have much of an impact on time.
Other than what Sue Doenim said, you can also look into the Old Pochmann method, which uses a corner swap and edge swap alg (e.g. R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F') repeatedly to solve the whole cube. It's normally used as a beginner's blindfold solving method, but it can of course also be used for normal (sighted) solving.new cuber here
i learned 2x2 first so i decided i could base my knowledge of 3x3 on 2x2. i plan of making my own variation of corners first where you solve a layer then the other four corners then swapping the rest of the edges to the solved state. so is there any algs that swap only two specified edges and doesn't effect anything else? thanks (sorry if this is in the wrong section, idk where request alg is)
Some people prefer you get sub 1:30ish before switching to a method. What cube do you have?So I've more or less mastered the white cross method (beginner method) of solving the cube. I can solve in under 2 mins. I have a speed cube. What do I do now? How do I get faster?
I have a Mofang MF3RS.Some people prefer you get sub 1:30ish before switching to a method. What cube do you have?
Use this:https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/threads/beginners-guide-to-choosing-a-speedsolving-method.43471/
And find out what method you want to use. The top three are: CFOP, Roux, ZZ.
Once you try each method and find out which one you like continue with that method. From their you can request further help
Perfect! That cube can easily take you sub 20, 15 and maybe 10. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.I have a Mofang MF3RS.
I agree it's a very good cube. My problem is that it's TOO FAST! I find that the layers are slipping and I'm constantly making mistakes when solving. How do I learn finger tricks and how to handle the cube in general?Perfect! That cube can easily take you sub 20, 15 and maybe 10. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
