3Ts of cubing

[kaixax555]

A cuber discussed this with me and he came up with something. I really like to share this.

There are 3Ts for F2L:
1. Tai Chi (constant turns)
2. Technical (uses algos wif least turns)
3. TPS (fast fingertrick friendly, 2gens)

(Taichi is a chinese martial art focusing on smooth moves)

So just wondering, which one are you?

Why not all of them? It's not like you're going to give up one for another right?

 

[IamWEB]

Right, all.

How about look ahead

 

[FredM]

That's part of Tai Chi since you need look ahead to have constants turns (meaning no pauses)

I think I'm all of them. Not good at any, just average at all of them.

My style is more of the technical. My turning speed and lookahead sucks, but I tend to use less moves than most people on real cube. On hi-games.net, my style is more of the TPS. I waste moves and just execute as fast as possible.
The goal is all of them, but it's difficult to have good lookahead for me.

Taichi, I'm fastest when going smooth

I would have to say tps, but i definitly need to work on my taichi lol

I'd have to say tps. I focus on quickly finding and inserting pairs.

 

[JTW2007]

If lookahead is part of Tai Chi, then definitely that one. Lookahead is the only thing keeping me from sub-16.

What's 2 gen by the way?

 

[kaixax555]

2 gen is algorithms full of R and U moves (Rw and Uw moves count too)

 

[JTW2007]

I thought 2-gen was anything with only two faces or slices moving.

Other, I eat taco's while cubing.

 

[GaroMaster1337]

lol yay tacos!

Actually now that I have thought about it, the Tai Chi part is really good. I have done solves that felt slow but gotten amazing times. I suppose it was because there were no pauses.
