Orion's progression thread: upcoming competition (no hopes)

[NebraskanSpeedsolver]

I got a 2.44 on that scramble before seeing the reconstruction, doing righty insert, sune, and T-perm, but that was a really good scramble. Got a 1.70 with the recon.

Bro we talking scrams, I got one earlier and got a 1.78, but I misscrambled. It was a one move both layers into the PBL where it's solved R2 F2 R2. No AUF. Was able to plan whole solve in inspection.

Did Ortega on this scramble and got a 1.40, solution is pretty obvious for yellow

Bro I got a 3 how

Bro I got a 3 how

I saw the face canceled into OLL, and I knew that it was going to result in the R2 F2 R2 PBL.
8.5 TPS, so I guess it was pretty fast turning lol

i got a scram just like that earlier (but it was a misscram)

 

[Bingus cuber]

Here was my solution.
I rotated the cube so that the unsolved orange sticker was at the bottom-right-front, I did U R U' to solve it, then I saw a cancellation in inspection and from there, I did R U' B2 U2 R2' U' R2 with a U AUF.
The solution all together was (y x') U R U' R U' B2 U2 R2' U' R2 U

4.47 with LBL

Edit: 5.48+ with Ortega and it's not even my main method lol.

Got a 1.52 on this, the cancellation was super nice.

One move layer into 5 move CLL (Just the standard OLL alg I don't know CLL)

and it wasn't a miss-scramble like most of the other lucky solves here. I'll try downsolving it to see if I can get sub-2 or even sub-1

I got a 2.43 with ortega. super easy first layer, and PLL skip. https://cubedb.net/?puzzle=2&scramble=F-_R-_F-_U-_R2_U-_R-_F2_R2_U-&alg=z-_y-_//_Inspection L-_U_L_//_First_Layer U2_R_U_R-_U-_R-_F_R_F-_//_LL_%28OLL%29

Technically i have a 0.80 with ortega

Its 2 moves?

 

[JDAW6]

wait the thread is called ringus’s thread;I was calling you bingus all this time. Lol

 

[An Animating Cuber]

Its 2 moves?

I didn't copy the scramble correctly

 

[HK-Speedcube]

wait the thread is called ringus’s thread;I was calling you bingus all this time. Lol

me too :0

Did this to separate this thread from the @Bingus cuber progression thread.

How is it possible to get a 2.05 with Ortega…

His solution wasn't fullstep Ortega so it was also technically an EG solution. Singles like that are possible with literally any method(except methods like Old Pochmann where it basically forces you to do a lot of moves no matter what)

Do you mean a solution like R' F2 R2 F2(I use F2 R2 F2' instead of R2 F2 R2)? I once had a PB with this before realising there was a cancellation(R F2 R2) so it was actually an illegal 3 mover.

Even if the R F R2 or whatever he used is a 3 mover, he did the first move of the solve to make a layer, so that would equal to 4 moves, thus making it legal.

It doesn't matter how many moves you do in your solve. If the optimal solution is less than 4 moves, it is an illegal scramble.

Ah, did not know that, thanks.

Also just realized what you meant in the previous post; doing the first move into the layer could almost certainly be cancelled to lead to a 3 mover.
