Turbo?

[happa95]

I was wondering... would it be beneficial for me to switch to Turbo, or to at least try to switch? As of now I average about 4:30 with an occasional 3:00 solve using M2 and classic pochmann. What would be some reasons to switch to Turbo? Is it any faster?

What would be some reasons to switch to Turbo?

You'd be the cool guy using something no one else uses

And you'd be equipping yourself with essential freestyle knowledge should you decide to switch someday.

There really isn't much to "learn". It's more about practice than anything else. Corner algs are just commutators. Edge algs are very easy, you probably already know all of them, you just don't know that you know them. Go check out the algs if you're not sure what I mean.

I guess I'll try it. Once I get used to all 1xx of the possible setups, I think it could get quite fast.

Kai Jiptner is now using TuRBo (note the capitals) for corners, he did 1:06 with it so far and I'm sure he'll get better times.

I'm so lazy to learn this method. Heck, I'm lazy to even start doing M2 without orienting edges.

TuRBo (note the capitals)

My prediction was right! I wanted to point that out, but I figured Erik would do it soon, so I just waited... and it happened!

P/S: I get excited over the smallest things don't I?

Turbo

I use Turbo corners too now, although I am not yet accurate.
But with practise I am sure I will be faster than before.

I still don't get the difference between TuRBo and freestyle. Could someone explain the difference for me?

haha even I know that! TuRBo has a fixed buffer (UF) and while freestyle CAN have a fixed buffer, it doesn't have to.

Erik: I don't understand why on your website for TuRBo edges, you don't include the U/U' moves in the algorithms for the last four algorithms.

He does, it's stuck next to the images if you look carefully. That's just bad website layout-ing

There's more. TuRBo, strictly speaking, should only cycle 3 specific pieces for corners and edges throughout the solve. (Someone translate this for me, I suck in expressing this.)

Erik: why is it capitalized as TuRBo?

Erik: why is it capitalized as TuRBo?

Because it's an abbreviation.

Damn, don't be lazy!

 

[KJiptner]

Erik came up with this term because Rama was always using the word turbo in terms of good cubing. So when Erik came up with his idea (it was while chatting with me actually) he decided to call this new blind method "Turbo" (he was tired of those boring/confusing combinations of Letters). I said so that'd be TuRBo: "The Ruling/Reigning Blindmethod". That's why you should never ignore the capitals. It actually combines a fancy name and a Letter-Abbriviation

Turbo is nice.
I use Turbo corner and edge.
I get recently PB 51.52 seconds.

 

[cubeRemi]

take a look at my post here about algs to make TuRBo even faster.

it's post 117.

The main advantage is minimum setup move which is very important especially for a beginner like me.

 

[martijn_cube]

Maybe people aready use them. but i found 2 new algs for 2 TuRBo cycles.
i didn't really liked the ones from erik's site. I also wrote down the cycle seen from FU. i think it's faster then de original alg. and it's very easy and sexy

UF->RU->UL - FU->UR->LU | (F RUR’U’ F’) U2 (F RUR’U’ F’) U2
UF->UL->RU - FU->LU->UR | U2 (F URU’R’ F’) U2 (F URU’R’ F’)

edit: what do you tubro users use when you have some 2 cycles? of when you have parity? i could do the 2 cycle with M2 or classic-pochmann, and parity at the and with 2 corners right?
maybe i want to switch to turbo, or just switch to total freestyle, i don't really know yet. turbo edges is pretty cool.

TuRBo uses UF buffer. If you have more cycles you break into new cycles. Or you can setup to H/Z-perm if you want.
