That means you defeat your previous PB avg5 with that avg12 O.o

hi dene

EDIT: typo :fp

Oh yea I gave up on sq1 again. It just doesn't ignite my interest like it used to, and I simply don't have the time to dedicate to getting "fast" again.

So you're saying if I START practising again then podium can be Feliks/Jaydn 1st/2nd (no order) and me 3rd? Hmm... tempting.

this is legit and pb by like more than half a second.

Using 6-move scrambles and getting an average that's ~22% faster than the current world record.. try and make it a bit more believable next time.

He could've been using an optimal random state scrambler; it's an option on qqTimer. With scrambles like that, it's easily possible to get a sub-wr average, and you can get that many easy scrambles in the same average.

okso it's not legitimate.. at least he tried.

edit: furthermore the guy avgs ~4 ~ 5 seconds.. dunno what lead him to try and pass off obvious lies as "legit"

Yes, I never said it was legitimate, I said it was possible. Also, where did you get that average from? His WCA profile? Compare the 3x3 and 4x4 to his Ao12s in his sig. Yes, PBs and comp PBs aren't going to be the same, but they're quite far off. He's obviously improved since his last competition.

 

[Mike Hughey]

Decided I should try to remember how to do skewb. Did an average of 50; my first average 10/12 within the 50 was 22.93, my last running average 10/12 within the 50 was 14.63. Nice gradual improvement throughout. Ah, if only improvement could always be this easy!

I think I'm already almost as good as I ever was now. I'm afraid I probably can't get sub-10 average without switching to a non-beginner's method. But I doubt I'll ever practice enough to be able to remember the algs for a non-beginner's method, so I doubt I'll ever get much better.

I average 9 with a 4 move alg and it's mirror. You just need to know HOW to use them. Layer takes about 5-6 moves, then I use on average 1 alg, sometimes 2 for the next step (combinations of R'FRF' and LF'L'F) then an average of 2, sometimes 3 for the final step.

So;
Layer: 5.5~
Middle step: 6~
Final step: 10~

Total: 21.5~ moves, so to be sub 10 you need slightly over 2 TPS. Most of the solve is spamming the 4 move algs so if there are no pauses you can be sub 10 just by using the algs intelligently.

If you wanted to get sub 10 you'd obviously need to practise a lot, but 2 algs is fine

Is that Sarah's method? If so, which variation?

 

[antoineccantin]

Is that Sarah's method? If so, which variation?

I'm pretty sure he uses a mix between the beginner and intermediate variations.

 

[Tim Major]

No Antoine, I do layer->CLL+any centre->L4C

It's basically a better version of Sarah's intermediate method. I made it back when I got my skewb so I'm hesitant to call it "Sarah's method" when she has published nothing skewb related at the time AFAIK

 

[Coolster01]

Stackmat? o.O

Yes xD I must beat 1.88 now xD

Yes xD I must beat 1.88 now xD

No you don't, I'm just lucky+really fast TPS. I'm not even good at 2x2.
