Which 5x5 edge pairing method you use?

[Cuber65]

just wanna get my 3 some minute average down in the 2s or 1s ... question for anyone who can get a sub 2 minute solve

I am almost sub-2, I use the cohen edge pairing method but a different kind of 2 at a time edges. I can get very similar times with just 2 at a time (not AVG, my kind). I should probably switch to AVG for last 4 edges, as well as when I practice 2 at a time.

Just use the Frank Morris method or AVG, there are a few tutorials on youtube.

I use the bigcubes.com method, what's that method called?

Edit: I recenly got sub with the method. I just looked ahead harder for the edges.

What? What is this magical new method, and why is it two at a time?

 

[jcuber]

Instead of using a constant buffer, I pair a wing with a semi-pair. On the slice back, I pair the wing that was moved out of the way with it's midge. Then, I find the final wing for that semi pair, pair it, on the slice back, I...

(ect.)

It is sort of like the beginner bigcubes.com, with two at a time.

 

[Dene]

I don't care about your method, I want to know what the Cohen method is, because I've never heard of it, and as far as I'm aware Dan hasn't heard of it either.

 

[jcuber]

It's like bigcubes.com with rotations, as well as better look-ahead.

i think Dene is just being sarcastic, she probably knows you're talking about the Frank Morris method when you said Cohen method

for Cuber65, i was doing a method similar to erik's method up until last week, i started practicing the Frank Morris method ... it takes a little getting used to, but my average of 10 on the 5x5 just improved 12 seconds, you have to get used to this method, most of the best 5x5 dudes use it

 

[StachuK1992]

I'm sorry, but
Frank Morris != Dan Cohen

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

Frank Morris.

 

[jcuber]

Frank Morris doesn't hold the WR average right now, so...
