how many cube rotations do you make during the cross

[ilikecubing]

I usually do either 1 or 2,but i choose 2 because i m not experienced enough on the cross yet so sometimes even more,but very rarely.

 

[~Adam~]

d. I probably do 2 rotations on average per solve. Who does 3 for the cross?

 

[y3k9]

I use B moves, but sometimes rotate the cube to see that it all works out (When I don't do this, the cross sometimes gets screwed).

 

[cincyaviation]

Preferably none, but 1 at the most.

 

[Zubon]

I do the cross on the bottom and only use "u or u'" two-layer moves so I guess I don't use any rotations.

 

[Kirjava]

I chose "it varies"

oh wait no I didn't

 

[avgdi]

I also choose "it varies."

Even better: How many cube rotations occur during cross in fast official solves?

I chose two because I get the feeling that I start from one angle, move to another angle to do the rest, then rotate again to finish. Total guessing, though; maybe I actually average 1 or 4.

did you try to hit the "Edit" button, but pressed "Quote" instead? I've done that.

OT: 1 Rotation, u and u' moves, e and e' moves.

 

[frogmanson]

Typically, I'd do 0.

 

[Dene]

Depends on the cross.

 

[Andreaillest]

I try to do 0, but depending on the cross I might do 1 or 2.

Why didn't I think of this?

 

[BigSams]

0. I use EO-Cross so a couple of {F,B} moves don't really matter because it ends up being sexy {R, L, U} 3-gen slots. Also if I rotated during cross, I'd have to rotate back to a position where the original F or B is F, to utilize EO benefits.

 

[krnballerzzz]

I don't rotate my cube, the world rotates around IT.

 

[Edward]

I don't use alot of rotations. I usually just do little letter moves. (wide turns?)

 

[ilikecubing]

nvr tried u and u' moves for the cross,but how do they work?

 

[joey]

They work by turn U and E at the same time in the same direction.

 

[Chapuunka]

For EOLine, I don't do any "whole" rotations, just half way turn the cube.
