(12.39 3x3 avg of 12)

Awesome Justin, I need to start practicing 3x3 again.

 

[qqwref]

Practice on a real cube! xD

My wrists literally hurt after half a solve on the pieces of **** that people call "megaminxes". Go find a 3x3 that is tough to do a wrist turn on and try to get sub-20 and you will see how I feel. Honestly, are you really stupid enough to think the problem's on my end? Getting two minutes should be easy if the puzzle doesn't suck ass, but megaminxes that don't suck ass apparently don't exist. I've had a 1:42 on gelatinbrain for chrissake and the 3x3x3 single solve record on that sim is 25 seconds. It's not my fault that megaminxes all suck. Considering the number of megaminx models out there it's a wonder that at least one manufacturer hasn't figured out how to make one that will actually TURN after you've lubed it a bit. Every 3x3 maker has figured this out, what the hell is so difficult?

See, this is why computer cubes are better. You don't have to go out and buy ten different ones in the idiotic hope that one day you'll come across a puzzle that you don't need your entire hand to do turns on. You can just use a single computer puzzle and the only thing preventing you from getting good times is YOURSELF, not some shitty piece of plastic that Chinese people think is good enough to sell. You don't have to expend time and effort modding your cubes just to prove you're not some noob who can't even solve it quickly. I have no desire to "compete" against people who all have an unfair advantage against me; in computer cubes the field is even and if you lose it is because the other person is better, not because they have a better cube or stronger fingers.

Even though I agree with almost everything you said, physical cubes are just more fun for most people (including me). I suck at turning compared to the fast guys, but turning physical cubes is just more satisfying than computer cubes, imo. (Pressing keys vs. fingertricks)

I just sub-2'd the E perm on a single execution: 1.89 seconds.

I've been cubing 11 years now and have hated the E perm for that entire 11 years until today. Part of the reason I think is I was not using a good alg. I finally switched to R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R U' R' D' about a month ago and now I've gotten my first ever sub-2 on E perm. Also, dare I say it, but I really like this alg.

Does that mean I like the E perm now? :-S

Wow - I switched to the same E perm a couple of months ago, and I'm not quite that fast, but it really made a difference for me too. However, I still have trouble with recognizing it and orienting it properly quickly, so it's still one of my worst.

Hey Mike,

I find that my recognition method for E perm is different from the other algs. I usually figure out that I have an E perm when I don't recognize another case. As in, for all other cases I look for any blocks and focus on how the stickers of the block relate to the other adjacent stickers. For E perm there are no blocks, so in a sense I don't have a PLL case pop to mind when I'm trying to recognize an E-perm. I just take my lack of recognition as probable E perm usually.

Orienting that case feels awkward for me too. I think I nearly always AUF before applying the alg for that case, gotta start trying to be able to also do AUF last.

I'm just excited that for the first time ever I don't dislike the E-perm. In fact, I'm actually starting to like it!
