I however recommend going through each case and seeing how you would do it, then see the "optimal alg" for that case and see if you are doing it correct. That way you won't get into the alg mindset when you do F2L

Yeah, I didn't do that. Other than maybe one or two cases I use pretty much exactly what badmephisto teaches. It really come back to bite you so learn it once and learn it right. I'll optimize my F2L soon though.

Freshcuber, badmephistos "algs" for F2L are all good, those F2L cases he teaches is exactly what I was referring to. His F2L PDF document has all the F2L cases algs on there. Besides the terrible lowercase d and d' moves he frequently has in there, those are fine.

Completely Agree, intuitive is the way to go as a foundation. Remember all algs are based on no open slots and you have at least one 3/4 of the time which can save many moves. As for which algorithms to give priority I'd say as a general rule if you are looking at two connected pair pieces its worth looking at the algorithm for optimisation, you'd be surprised how many you don't see optimal moves in intuitive, especially the cases where they are both in U or both in place.

Aye I am so guilty of overuse of d and d'. Even at my terrible times it has to make a difference

Does anyone have algs for FP?

Please elaborate.

FP: Face Permute, Fan's pyraminx method http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Pyraminx_Speedsolving_Methods

I'n pretty sure I heard that some people have generated algs for this method

Which camera angle would be best for a cubing video, left- right- or front-on?

right but i would make it higher up abover your head facing downwards

what does each type cube refer to? example type f is a shengen and a type e is a diansheng etc. (why do so many companies have sheng in there name?)

Just different brands. You can see a lot of them at speedcubes.net

Hey, guys I've had my Cubetwist Clock for 3 days now and it's my favorite puzzle and it might be my main event. I have only solved it a few times until just now and I did about an hour of clock practice and I started with and avg of 12: 46.51 seconds and I just did an avg of 12: 22.15. I was wondering if that was good practice and I should keep going I does it suck and is that abnormally slow for that much practice?

 

[cyoubx]

I'm no clock expert, but I'd say a 24 second improvement in essentially 1 hour is pretty efficient practicing.

How can I make my v-cube 2 lock up less?

i knew that much. i was wondering waht a type q was (maybe qj? just a guess)

and is www.witeden.com reliable how much is their shipping?

lol no. Type Q is a JSK Clone not a QJ.

Fake F2? Where can I find the real one?

The real one is probably what most vendors claim is an F2, but the fake I was referring to was here but is now sold out.

It's an Alot. Basically a thread hijack by Shelley and Lucas. Glance through this thread to see what I mean.
