first sub 30 OH: 29.85

27.71, 27.09, 29.38, (35.71), 28.80, (24.85[Oskip]), 32.51, 29.46, 32.38, 30.55, 28.01, 32.58

designed a better train station in minecraft that follows the formula (L = levers, D = destinations): D = (L² + L + 2)/2

 

[Ville Seppänen]

so like
8.26 OH
scramble cross on D: L' R U' L' R' D F2 B R2 L' U2 L' D2 L' F2 L' F2 U2 L2 B' L' F2 B2 D2 F

y' R' D' F y R' F R2 D
U2 R' U2 R U2 R' U2 R2 U' R'
y R' U R - R U R' U R U2 R'
26 moves heh

also 17.55, 17.05, 17.50, 17.23, 18.39, (8.26), 17.34, 18.20, (18.48), 14.74, 14.57, 17.23 = 16.98
PB by about a second if it even counts

y' R' D' F y R' F R2 D
U2 R' U2 R U2 R' U2 R2 U' R'

26 moves heh

ummmm what

 

[Zyrb]

Back to speed solving after a month no cubing, time to learn full PLL

 

[cuberr]

personal best ao5 in my first competition.. 27.36

 

[F15HB41T]

Finally got sub 30! 29.xx, but it still counts!

 

[BigGreen]

8.74, 8.94, 8.79, 9.54, (11.42), 11.07, 9.27, 6.95, 9.91, (6.93), 10.13, 7.99 = 9.13 avg12 and 8.28 avg5

ridiculous. 6.93 was lucky

 

[DavidWoner]

11s :C

 

[JonnyWhoopes]

8.74, 8.94, 8.79, 9.54, (11.42), 11.07, 9.27, 6.95, 9.91, (6.93), 10.13, 7.99 = 9.13 avg12 and 8.28 avg5

I know I always say this, but I love you BigGreen.

Ah the agony. Done I'd guess 1750 solves of this sim. 1 PLL skip. About 20 OLL skips, but probably 2 that I didn't force.
I've had countless (>10) solves where I started PLL at 7-10s. Here's a video of what should've been a 7 or 8. I saw an OLL skip case and rotated and AUF'd a lot, then messed up G-perm.
I make stupid mistakes like doing U instead of U2 due to shaky hands. I look and see I'm finishing OLL at 7 and I freak out.

All this because Faz was on my account and got a 12.97.
Did I mention I got 2 12.99s, and a 13.02?

Edit: Just got 11.99 PLL skip, what I had linked to was 12.06 full step. So it's taken me this long to break it, then I break it next solve?!

Edit: 10.64 wtf. Now I keep breaking it. Faz cursed it

 

[Vinny]

Sub 2 in competition at Cornell! 1:54.80. PB, too!

Also, I got my PB Ao5 there.

2:02.86, 2:03.03, 2:07.94, (1:54.80), (2:37.30) = 2:04.61

 

[freshcuber]

First sub-40 OH, more PBs in the average but I'm going to finish it before posting that.

37.66 F' R2 F2 B U2 F2 B2 D' U2 L' D' U2 L F' L' D' U F' B' L2 D' U' R2 B' L

Edit: Next solve was a 37.96, finished OLL at 22. My LL is too awful to tolerate. Must learn OH COLL

 

[Hershey]

You don't need COLL. I am sub 29 sec OH and I use 2 look OLL and full PLL.

 

[EricReese]

OH coll is only useful to learn if your method already has all edges oriented, otherwise its not as useful, its better for ZZ, not CFOP :3

 

[RyanReese09]

I force edge orientation all the time. Learn it. It's useful. Even for 2h. You can know your PLL type (diag/adjacent/EPLL) when you doall edges oriented OLL, and you can even force non diag swap PLLs if you recognize it fast.

 

[freshcuber]

Darn, well that sucks. I'll see where I get with PLL and 2LOLL. If full OH OLL isn't that bad then I won't switch methods but I may do ZZ for OH

My point is, a lot more often then not, he won't have an all edges oriented case. I do force edge orientation <_< Just learn zz man, its nice, EOLine's difficulty is definately overrated, its pretty easy, I can fully inspect it all in 8 seconds

 

[qqwref]

If it helps, I'm sub-20 at OH without any type of C*LL and without ridiculous tps (U-perm is about 2.0 for me, Z is about 2.5). I do use full OLL, partial edge control, and a few OH-specific algs, though.

Anyway, I did some 4x4 OH sim, and this single and these averages are pretty sick for me:
42.921 = 179 @ 4.17 tps
(1:04.627) 56.723 (45.609) 46.482 56.861 => 53.355 avg5
53.552 54.751 58.901 54.678 (42.921) (1:06.112) 1:04.627 56.723 45.609 46.482 56.861 58.041 => 55.023 avg12
(I think previous PBs were about 52 / 1:01 / 1:03.)
