i know this is dumb but how is shengshou pronounced? i keep pronouncing it sheng sh ow. ow as in ow that hurt and i think thats wrong so how do you pronounce it?

If you want to say it roughly how it would be pronounced in Chinese, Sheng rhymes with sung and Shou rhymes with toe.

Is there one for 90 degrees?

You can't rotate a single centre by 90 degrees. M' U M E' M' U' M E will do 2 centres 90 degrees.

 

[mDiPalma]

Is there one for 90 degrees?

You can't have just one center off by 90 degrees.

M' U M E M' U' M E' rotates F and L though

True about that but The ONLY Japanese cubing companies I know of are Okamoto and Rubik's the one that made the 2x2x4 owned by meggahouse.

SS is Chinese judging by the characters on the box. I was just saying that made in China doesn't provide a sufficient argument.

 

[Ickathu]

hmmm yeah, nevermind that. It's definitely Chinese. Woops.

I'm looking for a quicker cube I currently use an ebay bought zhanchi, and when you have to relube a cube do you need to relube the core? If not when do you know the core needs it

TL;DR advantages of colour neutrality for Roux? and how to use it well

ok so for cfop i was colour neutral, and i remember seeing a few posts in a thread where Roux users were talking about how sexy colour neutrality would be. i am currently U/D colour fixed (white/yellow) since any time i find a CE pair during inspection, it obviously includes either white or yellow already. it helped to blockbuild with the same colour scheme so i didn't have to think as much just to make a block.

and now that my blockbuilding is fine, im wondering about the advantages of being colour neutral. from what i understand, i would need to find all 5 pieces of the first block to determine what colour scheme i'll be using. but more specifically, i identify the fastest 1x2x2 block and see which CE pair i should attach to it, if a full first block isn't apparent. is that right? lol im confused.

cause in CFOP, obviously i would find the 4 cross edges of a certain colour, and maybe white has an 8 move cross but red has 4. in roux, unless there's a really easy first block, i feel like the advantage is usually not much.



another question, i should be looking ahead to 4b during CMLL right? i've been doing it a bit and it's a little more than my brain wants to handle at once.
