    [Member Intro] Hello, 3BLD amateur here

    Yeah it's funny how my jb execution is disproportionately faster than everything else... Thanks all for the welcomes

    I see, I think I'll try that, I also just found out about this series of videos (which was really helpful) which also suggests doing the x' rotation.

    [Member Intro] Hello, 3BLD amateur here

    Hello, I'm 23, I'm from france, I'm a math / computer science student and I started cubing 7 years ago. I first solved the cube with a method I found on my own (which I described here if you're interested, it was pretty inefficient haha). I then got into speedcubing with CFOP color neutral, but...

    Hiding the timer sped up my solves

    I see, thanks for the tip, I didn't know about that option (I hid it with a window on top of it) Too bad you can't hide the timer in comp, but maybe training without looking at the timer will help get rid of my habit to constantly glance at it.

    Hiding the timer sped up my solves

For example for H (LF edge) I do B L2 B' M2 B L2 B and have to do at least 2 regrips, and the M2 is awkward. I know about this video which introduce...

    the worst algorithm you know

    I really don't like executing H perms (the M2 alg), but I find executing it with Ishaan M2's to be quite fun (replace M2's by r M' R' , while doing M' R' simultaneously using the left ring finger to do M') So since I'm really slow at regular M2 H perms anyway, I've even started doing that in my...

    Easy / Lucky / Funny / Hard / Weird scrambles thread

    I just had a lucky F2L, where each next pair magically got paired up after each step, without having done any look ahead at all, was quite fun :) I got a 13.68, one of my best times (PB is 12.37, and I average at around 20 ) Scramble: L2 D2 B' L2 F' D2 B' F' R2 U2 L' U B' U2 F' R B2 R2 D' U'...
