Faster 5x5x5 Edges

[Rama]

In case you haven't noticed, Erik (who said he's "a bit fast" with the method) has the world record average of 5 on the 5x5x5 at 1:36.71, more than 5 seconds faster than the second best. So clearly Arnaud's method is the most successful one used so far in competition.

With an OC

I saw Erik doing just as fast times with the Eastheen cube as with the OC cube.

1:36 with OC, 1:50 without

He did sub 1:40 with the Eastheen and the Rubik's version... What now? The Mefferts version!?

When it says :

...more than 5 seconds faster than the second best.

May be it's just 4, 3 or 2 seconds ... who knows ?
It's the reason why I said 'with on OC'.
That's all.

Erik is a wonderful champion.

You are not taking everything into calculation man. At the time of Dutch Open I was not as good as I am now with eastsheen nor olympicube. I've improved because I got better not because that I got a better cube and suddenly the times were faster.

The first video was 1:33:03 with an Eastsheen. The second one, which timed at 1:38:03 was with a "Rubik's Type" cube (according to the title). Was that the Olympicube, Erik? Or a Rubik's cube?

You certainly prove the point that it's not the cube - it's the cuber.

Again, very impressive to watch. Thanks for posting the videos, Erik.

aargh, to let people be NOT confused I put in another 'rubik's type'. So what do you think it is?

Sigh, erik isn't fast because he has an olymicube or "v-cube" he is fast because his method works for him, he looks ahead and he has very fast fingers lol !

if you are doing AVG edges at the moment, why switch??????

I'd rather have ADV edges. Maybe EXC or BST...
Or EVA? Or TRB?

AVG is better than BEG, at least....

Thanks mate :]
