I finally got my first ever sub-30 single!

Has anyone proposed a variant of Orozco edges where you use UF-BU buffer-helper combo and cancel M moves between comms? For example to solve UF-RF-LB the solution becomes [U R' U': M'] [U' L U: M] which would be [U R' U', M'] [M', U' L U] in full Orozco. The point is that what this method...

Is there an agreement on what is the best buffer for bigBLD centers? I know for 3BLD UFR/UF is considered optimal, so I want to use Ufr for x-center and either Uf or Ur for +-center to make it consistent with other piece types. Does anyone know if these buffers are good or bad?

Nope, just straight out of a normal 3x3 session

One of the problems that 2-gen redux methods have is that the 2-gen part of the solve is actually not that efficient. Traditional method (ZZ/Petrus F2L+2GLL) gives you something like 28~30 moves(13~15 for F2L, 14.65 for 2GLL (13.15 for algs+AUF)), when the average optimal is around 16~17. So I'm...

It's good to see him finally doing well at comp as he does at home! :D I'm starting to think he might actually get a 60+ point result in the last attempt and break both 50 and 60 point barriers in a single competition. Of course chances aren't too high, but who knows?

New 4x4 method for ZZ/Petrus solvers, adapted from my 5x5 ZZ method from a while ago: 1. L/R Centers 2. 1x3x4 on L 3. Center bars 4. EOpair 5 edges with freeslice, not including DF and DB edges and place them on L/R 5. Finish reduction and solve EO2x2x3 - still uncertain about how to do this...

Smiles = J Perm. Although I don't think he is still active here.

Woah I got tagged for the first time Sorry to say this, but I really don't know about coding at all... I think I've mentioned it before in a different thread but of course it's not your fault at all that you didn't know it. Just did a quick google search to help out anyway and found out you can...

Decided to give a shot at reconstruction for the first time, burned out after doing 3 solves in a row lmao Massive respect to Brest who has been doing this for years... You can find the rest of the solves on the video's comment section if you are curious.

Not the best description: although that can be considered one of the ways to do FreeFOP. I would say it is 'CFOP but with F2L phase done with blockbuilding rather than cross+pairs, and with more freedom in general.'
