Time to get a CFOP solve with triple that of @mista ‘s movecounts.....

y2

How do I keep getting 30’s with CFOP lmao

8.155 but it still could have been better

reconstruction:

x2 y' // inspection
U' R' F R2 U' F' L F D2 // cross Yes, it was a 9 move cross, but I did this solution so I could lookahead to the red-blue pair
R' U2' R U2' R' U R // 1st pair
U' R U R' L U' L' // 2nd pair
U L' U2 L U' L' U L // 3rd pair
U2 U' R' U y' R' U R // 4th pair A better solution would have been U R' F R F' R U' R'
U r U' r2' U r2 U r2' U' r // OLL
U' R2 U' R U' R U R' U R2 D U R U' R' D // PLL
U2 // AUF

64 STM, 7.8 TPS

Takeaways:
Even though I had an inefficient cross, and I remember having slight lookahead issues and lockups, and I had a bad PLL, I got a low 8, which is better than I average. I think the main reason I got a good time is because my first three pairs were rotationless (my 4th pair could have been rotationless too) and my first 2 pairs were solved into the back slots. I think if I had better lookahead and turning it could definitely have been a sub 7.

Look at this guy. He is my friend and uses ONLY the cfop and NISS methods for his official FMC solutions. :rolleyes:

This doesn't solve the cube but I'm not sure where your mistake is. I recommend using alg.cubing.net for example solves. It lets you check your solutions to avoid mistakes.
