Completely rotationless F2L?

Has anyone experimented with completely rotationless F2L? If so what were the advantages and disadvantages? Does it end up making you slower or faster?

 

[Rpotts]

The disadvantages are higher movecount, less 2-gen pairs, more F/B turns and r/M turns. Advantages: no rotations. The fastest people still rotate some, the only rotationless solvers are using non-cfop methods like ZZ or Roux.

Thanks, I'm coming from ZZ and just learning CFOP.

the corner on my teraminx twisted. how can i twist it back without dissasembeling the whole thing?

Only disassemble that "corner" of the teraminx. It's a little tricky (I had to do it once), but you should get enough pieces out that you can twist the corner back into place.

Does zhanchi torpedoes fit lingyun?

Nope, you have to sand down either the torpedoes or the lingyun edge pieces.

can someone find a tutorial on how to make a 3x3 into an octahedron or dodecahedron I don't care what kind they are but least there those shapes

Just to make sure, is it competition legal to have an almost completely black logo of top of a white sticker?

Are you referring to 2-look OLL and PLL? If so, there's plenty of people who have gotten sub-15s, including me. I'm pretty sure Pestvic was sub-15 with 2-look OLL and PLL.

I couldn't find any, but you shouldn't rely on video tutorials for everything. I'd suggest looking up what an octahedron and a dodecahedron actually look like, then just go from there. I think they're only 3x3 shape mods, so all you'd really need to do is sand down the cube into the proper shape and fill it with something like milliput, or maybe extend some pieces.

Just to make sure, is it competition legal to have an almost completely black logo of top of a white sticker?

I'm no expert, but as long as it's not completely black, they'd probably let you. If they don't, you could always just peel it off at the competition.


My question: Is freeslice edgepairing on 4x4 worth it, or is it much faster to do the 3-2-2-2-3 or the 6-3-3 or those types of edgepairing?

I believe heiowge has a rhombic dodecahedron tutorial, but I would try on your own first and have the tutorial as a final resort.

Should I learn zbll for fridrich?

It's really not worth the 500-ish algs that you need. You'd be better off learning something like CLL, ELL, or OLLCP.

I used his tutorial on how to make a 3x3 Hexagonal Dipyramid

If you have a VI the torpedo's will not fit.

Is cleaning your cube in the sink bad for it? Every time I clean my cubes in the sink, they seem to progressively gets worse after it. And I'm curious if it's actually bad for it or not.

Unless water is getting into the core then it shouldn't be a problem at all.
