What is it that Feliks so good?

[Arkwell]

What is it that makes Feliks so good?

This might be a dumb question but what specifically makes Feliks so much better than the rest? Is it his lookahead, his TPS, Alg knowledge, better or more efficient fingertricks, the amount of practice he's put in? Is it a combination of all of this and more or is there something specifically that does better than everyone?

Practice.

 

[cubernya]

Practice and zeroing

lol faz doesnt practice

His solves seem to like one fluid movement. He doesn't pause a lot, he turns fast, has good lookahead, and he seems to use a lot of tricks in his solves.

Were you there before he started competing? He starts working on another cube the second he finishes another currently.

He only practices at competition.

Were you there before he started competing? He starts working on another cube the second he finishes another currently.

Are you kidding me? He's probably only solved a cube like 4 times outside of competition. Purely lucky solves.

EDIT: ninja'd

Practice, insane TPS, look ahead, color neutral.

Practice and zeroing

What is zeroing???

 

[cubernya]

No one knows, but supposedly it saves moves

Look for it in the wiki.

It's actually a very good question and imo most other top cubers are too proud to actually analyse his solves and just put it down to being 'sick'.

One of the best things about his solves is his ability to execute the cross+first pair like a PLL - uber fast and with full confidence. Pin that with good turning speed and amazing LL recognition and you get crazy fast solves. I don't doubt that he can get better too, especially with efficiency.

Also because he's Australian.

So, the only place that talks about zeroing, is this link:

seems that it's mocking.

You're behind.

Also because he's Australian.

at least I've done one thing right.

 

[chrissyD]

fazt tps
insane recognition
zeroing
ect.

Basically jack of all trades and master of them all

Some weird stuff has been happening since this thread was created..

I received a PM from a user named 'yangyoude' demanding that this thread be removed claiming that if the main part of this method were to be revealed, it would crumble the community as we know it. He went into great detail in his message about the method, however leaving out what he called 'the absolute'.

While seeing if this user had posted before, I realized that the user didn't actually exist and when I went back to my inbox, the message was gone. I have contacted PJK and he seemed to be terrified when I mentioned this user's name. I haven't been able to get a hold of him since.

I'll be closing this thread shortly pending further investigations into this user.

This discussion of zeroing should stop.

how would it crumble the community?

makes zeroing seem like some sort of dark sorcery

and the fact that user vanished is kinda freaky

 

[choza244]

how would it crumble the community?

If you know the technique, you should understand why it would crumble the community if it's revealed.

 

[Hershey]

I thought it was doing moves that make the next pair easier to build (multislotting)?

anyway, if you really want to see Feliks show you his thought process, or at least how he would solves:
