Can you follow other cubers solves?

If you are judging or watch a frieds solve, can you see what they are doing?

For cubers at around my speed, I can see the solving method (if it's LBL, CFOP or Roux) and cross color, sometimes OLL if they don't start it to fast and PLL if its an easy to recognize like H-Perm but no chance on cross solution or the F2L pairs or to recognize the exact alg someone is using.
For faster solver I don't see much more than CFOP and cross color.
I think live it is easier than in Youtube Videos but still hard enough. There I sometimes even have problems on x 0.25 Speed.

I was very fascinated by this video where Tymon does some solve reviews for the cubicle guys and Patrick Ponce.
Especially the part with Patrick is quite fascinating. Patrick does some 5-8 second solves and Tymon can not even see what Patrick does, he even recognizes better OLL, missed ZBLL Cases and better cross solutions at realtime.
Also the interaction between those two pro cubers is quite fascinating.
 
I remember this video.

Tymon is out of this world. He could do the setup to the last layer and use the same algs the other cuber did

I feel like my friends when I'm teaching them and they make a mistake and I put the cube on the state it was before they made the mistake (like ocll case or first layer, second layer, etc). 😂
 
If you see someone is solving at half your speed and you have faster recognition then them and you know all the theory of what they could be doing it is easy.
If they are much faster you will hardly see anything.

ikr. I try watching tymon's videos but this is all I can see ;_;

Since I use a method & algs that no one else uses, no one would be able to follow my solves except very generally, which is pretty neat.
 
What method is that?
I am presently using a variant I call LMCF-H. There is already basically no-one using standard LMCF, and definitely no one using LMCF-H since it has never been documented or published anywhere.
 
Ooo cool... How did you go about learning it?
I invented the method so it is easy to learn something when you created it yourself.
I have spent 8 years working on it, it keeps improving, it would be almost as fast as Roux in the hands of an expert, but not quite....
