Random Cubing Discussion

[Cuber987]

Just got a 25.65 2BLD solve with this scramble:
F' R F' U R U' F2 R U' R'

PB with a terrible scramble
Literally did an ortega solve. Predicted face and OLL during memo, and predicted where the bar will be on the bottom. Literally just guessed how the top would look and succeeded, not even +2.

Solution:

alg.cubing.net

tinyurl.com

z2 y // memo (bad scramble, let's just do ortega and guess PBL: F' L' U L face, U2 Pi OLL, bottom bar on front, can't predict how top will look)

F' L' U L // face exe
U2 F R U R' U' R U R' U' F' // OLL exe
U R2 U' B2 U2 R2 U' R2 // PBL exe (bro DNF I just guessed the top)
// stops timer; takes off blindfold; sees cube solved; PB

rubix cub epic moment

I saw a review for a cube on Amazon and someone said something along the lines of, "my son can solve Rubik's cubes and he loves this cube. Apparently gan is the new Rubik's"

Since when was Rubik's better than Gan?

Me.

Edit: Thought we were in wrong answers only thread

 

[Deleted member 36445]

what you think is better?

1. yau or hoya for 4x4?
2. yau or hoya for other big cubes?
3. why?

ok. can someone answer me now?

I don't get what you mean. Like what we use for each cube? Because I still use reduction method because I'm too lazy to learn Yau and I'm spending a lot of time on 3x3. Just did 150 3x3 solves just today.

I use reduction too but I see everyone say yau is better for 4x4 and hoya for bigger cubes

Oh ok. I saw a video somewhere that said that both are pretty good methods, but reduction method is more efficient, and Yau is faster. They both have their pros and cons.

Yau is better for 4x4 because of the fact that you don't need to look at the bottom when pairing edges, it also has a better edge paring method than reduction. At least from my experience.

Listen here, you little man... My main 3x3 is my custom YJ MCG Evo, and no one can change my mind that it is a great cube, better than my Gan 11 M Pro. So both of those brands there are beat in my mind.

 

[TheValk]

I use Erno Rubik's original cube that he built in 1974 with me.

 

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

Somebody should mod a newer rubiks brand cube and make it turn better than ever, and then proceed to magnetize it. Kind of like the Rubik's connected, but better

hmm. you remember what video it was? was it jperm? I found his video after you posted this. I'm gonna take a look.

but you solve cross edges for hoya too, isn't it the same thing? =\
