SS (sunstern)

Well, Tim didn't want to publish it (rather, publicize the URL) until he did well at Nationals (which he did), and he hasn't said anything yet. ;)

Anyhow, it's a good method. One consideration for MGLS was that the algs were portable to 2x2x2, but they turned out to all be horribly inefficient (except the Sun), and I never really went for 2x2x2-specific algs.
(So I could say I was the first to know algs for all SS cases, but oh well...)

I found some nice algs that Tim doesn't have, but my alg sheet got lost somewhere here at Mathcamp, so I'll have to re-find them and learn the cases I don't know yet.

Anyhow, again: It's fast.
The top 2x2x2 cubers at Nat know/use it. :p

(And Tim and I both got a 4.0x+ on scramble 2, an easy-to-see 9-mover with SS)

No I didn't. :P

I love how my name comes first.

Coincidence?

I consider winning a set of V-Cubes doing well.
But yeah, I consider my 4.50 avg a failure too, even if I don't expect to beat it ever again. (I might like it more if it contained a 2.02 fourth-in-the-world solve not beaten by Stefan. Stupid weird bouncing dynamics of Eastsheens.)

And I've always though of it as Stern-Sun, but who cares? :p
 
I used to do about 7-8s average with LBL, now i'm with ortega and there is no improvement.
Do you guys think perhaps learning SS would be good? would it be usable and efficient for corners first solving as well?

Haha, don't even think about learning SS until you're around high 4's. It won't do you that much good until then.

For corners first, you should just learn Waterman, which is CLL.
 
why would the guy make a website about the method if he didnt want people to know about it??
 
Woo hoo! More thread necro!

Seriously, did you need to drag up a resolved month old thread to state something that was already discussed in the thread anyway?

Oh yes I did... :rolleyes:

Well I still want to learn the method...

why wouldnt the guy link to it if he actually wanted everyone to know about it??

Okay, let's make this thread more fun.
Nobody's pointed it out so far, so I will: "Stern" is the German word for star. So Stern-Sun oughta be a really bright method.
Lemme get out my sunglasses. :cool:
