I thought my average at Nationals was just a fluke, but I guess I've gotten better.

Is there anyone who averages better using straight up layer-by-layer?

 

[nitrocan]

why dont you learn guimond? then you will be unstoppable

 

[waffle=ijm]

I use an LBL but use COLL instead of OLL and PLL. best avg was like 6.7x

 

[isaacthecuber]

Eh, I'm just lazy.

I don't know. Once I learned all my Frindrich algs I guess I just got too used to the idea of not learning more algs...

 

[*LukeMayn*]

at least learn ortega. I learnt it in one day it and it is way EASIER than LBL IMO. only like 3 new algs that are 5 moves long??? I see that you are lazy

 

[PCwizCube]

Layer by Layer sub 5 seconds! WOW!!!

Yu Nakajima I think uses Ortega and he is like ~5 seconds

Great Job! That is truly amazing!

Do you do First Layer, OLL, then PLL? or do you use COLL or CLL for the last layer?

 

[ConnorCuber]

My best lbl average (5) is 4.85, all very easy and then 4/5 of them had pll skips.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

My best average with LBL is 4.29.

If I can do much better with other methods, I'll do it (SS in particular).

A little of both. I know some COLL cases but not many.

 

[Zava]

Is there anyone who averages better using straight up layer-by-layer?

Jean told me that Edouard used only lbl in his WR average.

 

[Faz]

no way. That's impossible.

 

[AvGalen]

Jean told me that Edouard used only lbl in his WR average.

That's not impossible, it's true!

Seriously, Edouard uses layer-by-layer and OLL/PLL for last layer. I am not even sure if he is color-neutral.

 

[Kenneth]

Chambon, he had the world record using that.

I think 2 or 3 of them had PLL skips, though.

That's one of the big advantages of this method over Ortega/Guimond.

 

[philkt731]

I've gotten a 4.28 avg

 

[Flame838]

Those are sick LBL times, I'd be happy if I got sub-10 avg of 12 with LBL with no easy cases.

 

[Ryanrex116]

I use LBL and I usually get 8-15 seconds. There is one case that I keep forgetting, so if I run into that, I take almost 20 seconds.
