Hey Marcel, nice you got a timer! I don't have a timer yet. I would get one if I am close to going to a comp for sure so I can practice using one. I have a white Lunhui too and agree that it is quite smooth and quiet.

If you do get one, get a Speedstacks V2. They are the ones predominantly used in comps and can also be connected to PPT, CCT and also cstimer.

Also, nice solve! I'll try to reconstruct that later.

Yes, I love this cube. It's definatly not as fast as my Zhanchi but out of the box smooth. It's really nice. I bought it so that when I am sub 30 (graduated) that I want to start one handed

Thanks Thomas. About the timer. I bought it from DealMaz. It's less than 10 dollars including shipping to Holland I use it just to get the hang of it. It's quite different than hitting a spacebar.

 

[MarcelP]

I do not practice that much.

It's a shame since you have a great turning style. I know you have the potention to be much faster than me.

Yeah, I find that I'm better OH with the Lunhui than my Guhongv1 (main). But I am actually using a 50mm Zhanchi for OH. I want to get a 55mm Zhanchi to try that for OH.

Thanks Thomas. I see now that there where no easy 2Fl pair cases. I am even more impressed with my time. Cross is still my slowest thing I see. Need to do some more work on that.

 

[MarcelP]

Ok guys, what did I do wrong here?

I had a very lucky scramble. The cross is almost complete and I see two pairs. Stil I got a 24.something. I thought I was going for a world record.. LOL I must be doing something very wrong here. what?

[ThomasJE]

What you need to remember is that you may see pairs, but when you come to do them, they may need more moves than you think, and when you come to the next pair, it's been broken up.

EDIT: I tried CFOP speedsolving it, but popped... :fp:
EDIT 2: 20.18 DNF.
EDIT 3: 19.82. 3rd time lucky...

 

[MarcelP]

Yes, and looking at your times I know I have done not so bad at all I would have guessed you be closer to 10 seconds on this scramble.. LOL

LOL. me too

 

[BenVdd]

i got 22.41s on it (PB yay)

 

[MarcelP]

Nice Ben! I will do it on my stickerless Zhanchi tomorrow. Try if I can beat your time

 

[Goosly]

got 16.something on it, so not a bad time, but not great either.
the cross is easy, but that doesn't mean it will be you PB

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Oh is that the scramble that Ben talked about in his topic?

U' B2 L2 D2 R2 L2 F2 U' F2 D' L2 B R' F2 R' D' B' F L2 F' D'

?

 

[MarcelP]

Yep, see page 39

 

[Kattenvriendin]

30:41 and that with a fiddle so it could have been faster still!

(and yeah I filmed it)

Ok and whoa.. tried that solve again and upon creating the yellow cross it got solved. Had I timed that one.. lol

Fiddlefidget..

Nice! You are getting faster real quick too

 

[Kattenvriendin]

That is because of that scramble lol!

Lookahead is getting better, I found two pairs without scanning around the cube there. On the last layer I did have to scan real quick before throwing the algo out, ah well.. it is what it is

At Voorburg some folks told me my Zhanchi is SO quiet.

I dunno.. hehe.
