I ordered a Shengshou Clock yesterday!

And of course I'll learn Gd perm to finish my PLLs

 

[ruffleduck]

I learnt it from J perm's video here:

nooooooooo

use R2' u' R U' R U R' u R2 f R' f', I beg you.

 

[Melvintnh327]

nooooooooo

use R2' u' R U' R U R' u R2 f R' f', I beg you.

why? I don't really like wide moves as it is hard to do in big cubes

Spoiler

wow I tried it, it seems smooth, but... wide moves, man...

This one.

Ohhhh...
Right. Maybe I should compete since I have one!

 

[Melvintnh327]

Yesss 12 seconds!

 

[Melvintnh327]

10 seconds!!

 

[Melvintnh327]

with J perm's algometer, I compared both Gc perms and see which one is better:
R2' u' R U' R U R' u R2 f R' f': 14.5
R2 U' R U' R U R' U R2 (U D') R U' R' D: 17
that's...surprising...
