The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

I'm pretty new to 2x2 (I just got one about a month ago) and I'm pretty bad at it- I average usually around 9s with Ortega.

Spoiler: Ao5 I just did- on the faster side for me

Session average: 8.18
1. 8.98 F2 U R2 F R2 F' R U2 R'
2. (9.32) R U' R F2 U2 R' F' R2 U2
3. (6.42) U' R2 F2 R U F U2 R U2
4. 8.24 U' F R2 U' F' R U2 R U
5. 7.33 R F2 U2 F' U F2 R2 F' U'

I do want to get really fast at 2x2, so I think eventually I will learn full EG (I don't mind algs at all). I was wondering when I should start to learn CLL algs for EG. I've noticed that my times are usually pretty variable and that my rate of improvement has slowed quite a bit.

You can get up to sub-4 with Ortega (maybe even sub-3 as well!). But most people switch to CLL after sub-4.5 I guess.

Is is worth it for me to go to comps? I only do 3x3 . . .

It's always worth it to go to comps. You get to meet cool people who share your hobby, you learn new things, and of course you get some official results. Doesn't matter how many events you do, comps are fantastic.

How do you execute the R U R' U trigger without a cube rotation (video?)?



How do you do the D2 double trigger? Like M2 (video?)?




What are Faz' PB's?

I assume you 'regrip' and not 'cube rotation'. I'd do the first U as a OH push (with left index) and the next U with right index.

or you could do ring-middle (i recommend learning both)

I Don't know. Ask him. I know he has 6.2x avg12 UWR

iirc there was a thread with a pretty good list (~20 moves) a few years back. I have been looking for the same thing recently as well, but i cant find the thread.

edit: okso i just found it

Definitely keyhole. And practice to be fast. It's just like LL... more practice means faster recognition and execution. Simple.

Is it possible to sort all the threads by last posts?

The main page only shows the last 21 threads. Also I noticed that the main page just ignore(!) a lot of threads and don't show them. I don't know which one or why.

"New posts" shows only unread posts.

"What's new?" is basically the same.

"Mark forums read" marks every thread as a read thread (?!), then "What's new?" shows "Sorry, there are no new posts to view. You may search for posts updated during the previous 24 hours, here". Clicking on the link redirect me to "Search -> New Posts" (which is not equivalent to "New posts" on top left), which kinda something I want. But after a while (when new posts arrives), it doesn't sort it (at least not by the last posts).

My Fangshi Shuang Ren actually popped on me. (Not exploded, just popped a bit.) Should i be worried? I heard it was unpoppable without breaking it?

Tighten it a bit.

What do you mean with "I'd"? Do you just do it with a regrip for the second U?

Thanks!

I'd is a contraction for 'I would'.. He's saying that's what he would do.

I get that, I just me does he actually do this way or does he just do it with a regrip (I mean he's fast, and if it works with a regrip then I might not learn it)

Try it and see if it works well for you.
