What does that have to do with anything?

Nice! Your style puts me in the mind of Rowe.

You have no idea how much that made me smile.

Brest you are crazy.
And did you know you can watch YouTube videos in slowmo if you hold space in full screen? Saw some kids at school doing it today. Might be helpful.

 

[Benyó]

why don't you count cube rotations as a move in reconstuructions? i think there's no difference between a y and a d' move, or if you do the R'U'Ry.... Gperm as R'd'F...., you save a move. this would probably give a bit more realsitic result about how fast/fluent a cuber is.

 

[Escher]

Nice average Super fast turning... Slow down a little bit so you can see the pieces instead of just a blur and you might get even faster xD

Crazy in a good way‽
Space bar is a cool trick, although there are certainly better ways to view frame by frame.

That is an interestiong question, which should probably get posted in the "Random Cubing Discussion" thread or the "Reconstructions" thread.

Do you mean "you" as specifically me or "you" as everyone in general? The two biggest reasons I don't: not counting rotations as moves is how those before me have done it and [wiki]TPS[/wiki] is usually measured in [WIKI]HTM[/WIKI] or [WIKI]STM[/WIKI] which do not count rotations as turns.
Another thing is that it is sometimes difficult to correctly interpret the rotations the cuber is doing. What may look like a specific sequence of rotations on video may not be what the cuber was actually performing (if that makes sense). Then we get to the half-turns and cube-tilts used for locating pieces. Would these also become part of the turn count?

 

[David0794]

63.8 moves on average + sub11 average -->wtftps.

 

[Benyó]

i mean everyone in general.
cuberotations could be regrips, those half rotations without regrips that people use to see the pll or an f2l or an edge in M-layer pairing in bigcubes shouldn't count.

 

[DavidWoner]

Turn metric discussion should be continued here.

You know you are fast when Rowe or Rowan complement you. Good job Andrew!

You know Rowan is fast when you have a Team BLD code named after him.
