Sune Execution Speed

[ShadenSmith]

Last night I was taking some averages on my sune execution, and got 1.05 seconds as an average, with a fastest of .78


I really don't think I'm very fast with that algorithm (or any of them for that matter), so I'm curious to see how fast the top cubers here can do it. How does everyone else rank up with the sune?

 

[Lotsofsloths]

I' faster with Anit-Sune than Sune xD
Sune: .90
Anti-Sune: .69

 

[ShadenSmith]

Are you left-handed?

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Nope, I'm a righty

 

[ShadenSmith]

Interesting...are you dominant with your left hand while cubing, or do you just anti-sune more often than sune?

 

[Kenneth]

You can do left side Sune only RU = R' U' R U' R' U2 R

I'm not sure if that is antisune, I thogth it was the inverse: R U2 R' U' R U' R'

But of course, earlier I thougth that Niklas was Antisune, that because Lennart Aspelin told me so and he also said he learned that from Lars Petrus during the Swedish championships in 1981 (where Lars won and Lennart was second and both are still in action).

So there are some diffrent calls here and Iäm not really sure whats correct...

 

[ShadenSmith]

I was under the impression that anti-sune meant reflecting sune onto LU

I have no regrip on antisune

I have no regrip on antisune

It's possible to use no re-grip on sune as well...unless I'm mistaken?

R U R' U R U2 R' is what people normally call Sune
R U2 R' U' R U' R' is what people normally call Anti-Sune

R U R' U R U2 R' U2 is what I call full Sune

All can be done without regripping, but I think Anti-Sune is just a bit faster

(normally implies being right-handed)

Anti sune is very fast for me.
I use R U2 R' U' R U' R'
I hate this one: R U R' U R U2 R'
I like both of these: R' U' R U' R' U2 R and R' U2 R U R' U R

Execution speed? I don't know about Anti-Sune, but my Sune is, on average, 0.6 seconds. My best is 0.37 or something like that.

Same. I'm a righty and I can do the anti sune much faster than the sune.

 

[philkt731]

both R U2 R' U' R U' R' and R' U' R U' R' U2 R can be sub-0.7 for me (I wish they weren't both for anti-sune!), but I usually use the second one. The regular sune is around 0.8 for me

 

[hait2]

my sune execution blows, the 2nd U screws me up every time. how do you execute it (which fingers where etc)?

i like the antisune though (R' U' R U' R' U2 R, right?), no re-grips there at all

Crap, I must be really slow. I eliminated Anti-Sune from my 2H algorithms, I prefer just using normal Sune either right or left handed. I use Anti-Sune for OH. As for times..... trying Anti-Sune for the sake of it, I averaged about 1.3 seconds, left and right handed. For normal Sune, I average about 1.1 seconds right handed, 1.05 seconds left handed. I got sub 1 maybe 3 times total out of about 50 attempts I just made. And I wonder why I barely only average 20 seconds >.< . I'm still proud of my 1.53 T perm!!! No one can take that away from me!

Check out the videos at the bottom here. I can do the sune in about .9 and the antisune in about .75. I'd like to see a .37 or even sub-.5 sune on video...

Originally my Sune was R U R' U R U2 R' but soon (pun intended) I realised that I can't use my clumsy ring finger to pull off the second U. So I converted to R' U2 R U R' U R (the inverse of Anti-Sune). Sure I'd still have to re-grip slightly (because I don't use my ring finger) but this alg is faster for me.

Anti-Sune is still my favourite and fastest algorithm of all time (R' U' R U' R' U2 R). And I feel that being left-handed or not has nothing to do with the speed in executing this fine alg. It's because in Sune, my right hand does all the work with my left hand being there for support. In Anti-Sune I use my left index finger to pull the U', so with the work distributed it seems to be the only sub-1 second alg I can do so far (not counting R U R' for F2L)!

The 2nd U is performed by pushing the U layer with your left index layer, as you would in OH. If it doesn't feel comfortable , it's ok, just keep on practising.

K, I'll make one soon..

Originally my Sune was R U R' U R U2 R' but soon (pun intended)

Sorry to burst your bubble, but Sune's pronounced as "Soon-eh". Find a new pun.

 

[amateurguy]

^ Oh really? Cool! What does Sune actually mean or is it a common name somewhere?
