just a few example solves. I've been getting a lot of requests for this so I hope this helps everyone.

Nice solves. Could anyone link me to a place that has good, reliable F2L algs? Thanks.

the wiki page has tons of F2L algs. But I would advice you to use intuitive F2L, and only look for algos for really hard cases. And then try to understand those algos, so you don't need to learn them. :)
 
I always watch example solves of fast solvers with interest. Also being B/G Opp Neutral I was able to follow 5 of the solves very well :) Picked up a couple of great tips from it, thanks :)

Thanks for this, Rowe!

Interesting multi-slotting problem at ~ 4:45, maybe L' U L R U' R' U2 R U' R' ?

Can't watch the video so I just inversed your alg. What about (U') R U' R' L' U2 L U2 R U R'? Mine is technically one move shorter, yours is better because you can force OLL skips easier? I guess both are nice.
I'll have a more thorough look later.

Edit: Crap, I counted wrong, same length.

Why do you recommend switching to CN when it's something that you have never done?
Click to expand...
? well i mentioned in the video that i know its hard to switch. but seeing as me and feliks are 1st and 2nd in the world i think its a pretty good indication that CN is beast. Also, we see first pairs in almost every solve, so its a pretty big advantage.

Sorry, my alg stopped short of the 4th pair insert, so playing it backward by itself would give you the wrong case.

Here is a proper setup of the situation: L' U L R U R' U2 R U R' L' U' L

And solve: L' U L R U' R' U2 R U' R' L' U' L

@Rowe -- For avoiding bad OLL's, did you know ZBF2L before you starting doing this, or just intuitive? I found it really easy to do this after learning a handful of ZBF2L cases. I always thought people who knew full OLL wouldn't care though...Guess I was wrong!
Change thread to "some mistake solves". :P :P
 
These are awesome! You explain a lot and this is much more helpful than those videos that just say "I would build my cross like this. I see this case. While doing that I saw these. I'll solve these two. Last pair. OLL PLL. Ok, next solve. Subscribe to me."
