STM doesn't count rotations as moves so it's still 50.

 

[tsmosher]

STM doesn't count rotations as moves so it's still 50.

I use a mix of turn metrics I just realized.

I use the counting of rotations from ETM, but I still count U2 as one move.

I also use the combining of U'+D (and similar moves) from axial turn metric. Because these should be executed simultaneously if you can see them.

I stop short of Snyders metric where R+L count as one move; that's not one move. Not without regripping or some awkward handling/finger tricks.

1.5HTM is kinda interesting to address the fact that double turns take longer than quarter turns but less time than two quarter turns. I just count U2s/R2s as a single move though.
