Subset Showdown I '26 // Intermission for R2

[Caleb Valenzuela]

id recommend tdoing the subsets with other puzzles like 2x2, pyra, mega, and others
i know that mega has a 2-gen, but idk abt 2x2 or spyra

L and R moves are nearly identical on 2x2, so i say no

 

[yes cubing]

ill register for all! idrk how to do roux properly but ill figure it out

 

[SpeedCubing101]

Get me in Div 2

L and R moves are nearly identical on 2x2, so i say no

Huh? 2-gen is literally R and U moves!

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

Huh? 2-gen is literally R and U moves!

try doing R
then do L
they are almost the same move

 

[acrystal]

try doing R
then do L
they are almost the same move

 

[SammyBoy]

I'll do A, B, C, D and E

 

[Caleb Valenzuela]

look at this guy
do R U R’ on your 2x2
then undo the R U R’ then do L F L’
look at the end result
it’s the same exact thing
if you do R then L on 2x2
the cube is an R2 or an L2 from being solved
if you do the same moves on other NxNs, you won’t get the same result.
maybe actually try it on the cube

 

[Martyt7777]

It fulfills all of the above..?

 

[thecubicwizard]

Ill do division A B and D

I know that bro
the thing is, this is no correlation to what im talking about, its pretty easy to see that

it is true and kind, but defintely not hepful, inspirning, nor neccessary

2-gen RU moves on a 2x2 is nearly the same as LU gen and vice versa
also the original post that started this was:

and I gave my opinion on 2x2, then you replied with “Huh? 2-gen is literally R and U moves!” And then it spiraled further as received the impression that you didn’t know what I meant, then proceeded to reply with:

which wasn’t really helpful in clarifying whether you knew what I was talking about or not

anyway, @maruc00lestkid sorry for the clutter, I’ll register in division A and B

Bro that’s stupid if you have to apply the THINK acronym to every post you make.

I'll do A, B, C, D and E

For example, this message is helpful, but it’s neither of the others. So by your logic, you can’t post this?

Ok, sorry guys for the mistake+clutter

Oops, almost forgot about this. There's still two more days to register before I post the scrambles on Saturday.

Anyway, here is the registration list:

Subset Showdown I '26

docs.google.com

You can check your events here, let me know if you want to edit your registration

 

[MrCubert]

I forgor that I don't know roux
Can I change F to G?

 

[maruc00lestkid]

My bad for not posting the scrambles on time, I had a lot of stuff to do these past few days.

QUICK TIP: after performing the scramble, the cross color will always be at the bottom. If you prefer to do white cross, do a z2 rotation before the scramble.


The mystery event is now revealed!

Division G is an average of 5 solves where the allowed move set becomes more restricted with each solve.

Solve 1: Standard 3x3 (all moves allowed)
Solve 2: No D turns are allowed.
Solve 3: No D or B turns are allowed.
Solve 4: Only R, U, and F turns are allowed.
Solve 5: Only R and U turns are allowed.

As with the other subset events, all moves performed during each solve must belong to the allowed move set for that solve. Cube rotations are not allowed.
