[Ickathu]

Just did breakdown averages:

First block: a=3.37, m=3.68
1.77, 6.51, 3.05, 3.74, 3.31

Second block: a=7.64, m=7.80
6.04, 7.42, 6.14, 10.02, 9.37

CMLL: a=5.75 (apparently I lied about the 8 seconds...), m=5.52
4.77 5.49 (3.22) 5.94 5.30 5.86 5.62 6.69 (DNF) 6.26 5.41 6.17

LSE: a=8.70 , m=8.81
8.07, 7.91, 9.29+, 14.25, 8.38, 6.22, 9.75, 9.32, 8.72, 8.12, 4.51, 11.25

My second block and LSE stink. Badly.

The averages add up to 25.46, when I average ~27. I only used inspection for First block, so what's with the extra 1.5 seconds?
Even when I add the means, not averages, I get 25.81... Strange...

 

[5BLD]

so what's with the extra 1.5 seconds?

Hesitation between steps ofc.

K, so yeah do metronome solves for F2B. Also for LSE minimise transistion between substeps

 

[Georgeanderre]

thx all for help, so all newest algos can find at that link, and table with the new(good) algorithms do not exist ?

Not right this second, but I hope they will soon enough.

 

[MostEd]

Yeah, do by sets, i've got 3 left.
Learn H and G set first, easy recognition, then learn either E or F, and then use a similiar reco aproach to the second. That's how i got around to recognition for the F and E set, now i've got 3 sets, and having some problems of not knowing how to reco

Very (Extremely) rough page with the CMLL algorithms from Kirjavas post:

This page is updated to a 'I think this will do' standard... any problems, just shout!

thx for link ^__^ . I solve first 2 blocks different smethods =\ cant find tutor for first block main tips....i setup like (2 centers, 4 pairs) or 2 pairs-center 2 pairs-center

No two Roux users do them exactly the same, try to develop your own methods, Kirjava and 5BLD are the two to ask for tips on that... I do Roux, but I'm so terrible that I just pass on bad habits =P

 

[pelalum]

All the matter in the practice =))) i like roux more that Fridrich =\ for 3 months i think i do some progress in Roux ^__^

 

[MWilson]

Do you think someone averaging 60 seconds on CFOP should be learning OLL ?

If they want to, why not?

 

[Cheese11]

What should I average before I learn CMLL? Right now I'm at about 26-28. I'm learning R-OLLs so when I have a CLL case and know how to solve it like that, I do it that way, but I only know like 4 R-OLLs so far.

I am at 14 -15 and I don't know CMLL. So really, who needs it?...

 

[PandaCuber]

If they want to, why not?

Cause theyll become a alg solver, not a thinker. Its better to really understand the cube and not do algs that make no sense, but work.

LSE: a=8.70 , m=8.81
8.07, 7.91, 9.29+, 14.25, 8.38, 6.22, 9.75, 9.32, 8.72, 8.12, 4.51, 11.25

Work on LSE. Thats your problem

 

[Ickathu]

Work on LSE. Thats your problem

What should I be averaging? sub5?

 

[PandaCuber]

What should I be averaging? sub5?

Atleast 6.

 

[waffle=ijm]

LSE: a=8.70 , m=8.81
8.07, 7.91, 9.29+, 14.25, 8.38, 6.22, 9.75, 9.32, 8.72, 8.12, 4.51, 11.25

oh my gosh. WORK ON THIS PLEASE ;-; you need to get doing sub-6 for your avg.

 

[Ickathu]

Yeah I was just looking at your guide and it seems like that is definitely my weak point. If I do a LSE video can you guys give me tips or is it just look-ahead, turn speed, and practice?

Sure ill help you out.

Should the camera be from above, my POV, Right shoulder, left shoulder, etc?

Oh, and do you guys know of a timer that has a <MU> scrambler? I wrote a scrambler in Python, but I can't (read, I don't know how) to do a Timer in Python. It's a pain to keep
tabbing back and forth from that and qqTimer.

Best is POV. is you cant, then right shoulder. Remember, good lighting.

Qqtimer.net -> 3x3x3 Subsets -> M,U

Can't... Get... Good... lighting...
It's either too bright, making yellow and orange look similar unless the cube is twisted toward the camera, or too dark, making blue and black look the same. I'll keep messing with it once I finish my hw.

You do...

Ickathu- solve during the day perhaps? I can't see why daylight would make YO seem the same.
