[Unofficial] 14.90 OH ao5 (Beginner's 42)+ a completely scuffed 13.51 single I didn't count for obvious reasons
https://1drv.ms/b/s!ApfSlXDznkdsm1Va9rzIbUXWHJgy This is a pdf of all the cases. The recognition is more or less the same as cmll (ocll+opp/adj colours) but you take into account the location of an extra corner- shadowslice e

[Unofficial] 14.90 OH ao5 (Beginner's 42)+ a completely scuffed 13.51 single I didn't count for obvious reasons
It's just the most basic "reduce to LSE while trying to get a nice case" thing so nothing special. I have been practising EO+FR (and control ULUR) but I haven't quite trained my brain to work in the conjugated space properly yet so I'm still faster with the more basic and ugly version :/ Cool...- shadowslice e

The New Method / Substep / Concept Idea Thread
In my estimation, it's probably about the same speed with fewer algs. On the other hand, it does have the disadvantage of not really having anywhere to progress to so if you want to be really fast at mega (pushing world class and stuff), you'd probably be better off learning and using 3lll.- shadowslice e

The New Method / Substep / Concept Idea Thread
This idea has been around for a fair while (I even posted a couple variations on the method back in 2016/17 that I called megatripod and minitripod though the basic idea far predates them most likely). I actually still implement a minor variation of minitripod in my mega solves because I've...- shadowslice e

[Help Thread] Cubing for 10 months but only average 35 help
How exactly are you practising? Do you do 20 minutes a day, or a couple hours in a big session on Saturday? If it's the former, I would suggest switching to the latter and trying to be faster with every solve (rather than just mindlessly solving)- shadowslice e

[Unofficial] 11.45 beginner's 42 ao5 + 9.74 single
Someone got me to do a few 42 solves on stream but I got called for lunch. I was curious as to what sort of times I could get nowadays and got this on cam when I came back and decided to do a few more solve. I'm not 100% sure exactly how good this is because I got it pretty quickly but I...- shadowslice e

Roux-breaker? The YruRU method
If you've been reading this as about names, then you've been reading the conversation on a very surface level. But I've had enough. I won't be posting on the subject again.- shadowslice e

Roux-breaker? The YruRU method
Except most of the reason I use it in B2 is to reduce the case count so I can do fancier things like BLS. Just using it for 2-gen cmll isn't really worth it. This is true This does also have merit. However, I must point out that 2-gen is barely any better than 3-gen. As I said above, B2 does...- shadowslice e

Roux-breaker? The YruRU method
So is a method only "obvious" if you think of it? With regards to the Leor comment, that was developed *from* my post not vice versa. B2 additionally does influencing beyond what is done in roux. Does that make it a non-obvious continuation?- shadowslice e

Roux-breaker? The YruRU method
Why would it be less efficient than 2x2x3eo? And as for your claims that CPFB can't be done in inspection, there have been people who have been able to do it consistently (such as John li, the devisor of 2gr). It's a combination with M-CELL. CPFB, 2x2x2 in DR, CELL. Have you actually read what...- shadowslice e

[Help Thread] Roux Discussion and Help
Yes, you should track LR during CMLL. You can also work out where the "other" ULUR edge is by omission (so if you can't see it, it must be where you can't see). Incidentally, why do you think tracking would slow down the step? If it's because you think you need to slow down your turning to...- shadowslice e

Sure, I don't have any problem with alternative names. This is far from the first time I've conceded alternative names for the same method.

Roux-breaker? The YruRU method
I'm just going to point out that in both cases CFOP and Varasano are preferred over the alternatives due to primacy. The old names aren't so much used as they were not the inventors though many made the mistake at the time- shadowslice e

Is Tony Snyder a Hack?
He's a bit of a hack and has a tendency to exaggerate. Personally, I take everything he says with a metric Carthage of salt. With regards to the methods (as that's probably where I'm most qualified to comment), snyder1 is nothing special; it's more or less just a standard lbl solution. Snyder2...- shadowslice e

It sounds like you're halfway to developing a bad version of something like ssc or pcms. So, yes it is a known method (or at least a method which has been thought about and considered in the past) but you are still bad for ignoring your cross pieces since that adds so many additional moves and...- shadowslice e
