Cross on Left Example Solves

[Musicalboy2]

I made this partly because few other people have for COL: Sergey Ryabko did some slow solves for a video (quite) a while back, and I think Phillip Espinoza included some in his re-introduction video, but I am not aware of any others.

While I still have a lot to improve on, hopefully this is helpful to at least some people...

For reference, I average around 11.

Not lefty.

But thanks (both)!

I wish I could follow green cross solves. I only solve white and yellow, so the combination of cross being on left with it not being a cross color I'm used to made this very confusing. It was entertaining regardless, and seemed to be a well done video.

Impressive. I want to practice doing some cross on left solves, see how well I can manage F2L that way. I'm not all that fast at spotting an initial pair, but after that I do pretty well.

This reminds me of yau.
