@That0newe1rdo you have a fellow “hoyaer” here

also imagine miss-scrambling 6x6 and 7x7 at a competition

That and solving them takes forever for a ton of people

I’m 250 timed solves into learning Hoya and 7x7 in general.


Re: scrambles - yeah I’m intimidated by 7x7 scrambles, usually just do a chaos hand scramble. But trying to do at least one proper scramble a day or part of one to get better at it.

For 4x4 I use multiple methods... Stadler, redux, not yau, K4, meyer...

what are those methods? I've only heard of redux and yau.

Meyer is a 4x4 method for Roux users like Yau is for CFOP users
idk the others tho

I use hoya on 4x4, but I don’t have any cubes bigger than that.

I've been trying non Jay trigger last four edges, as show in this Mark Zimmermann tutorial:

I've gotten some good times, but that might just be from that fact that I'm practicing more. What do y'all think about Jay trigger versus Zimmer edges?

Jay trigger is R U' R2' U' R or a variation, to pull two of the unsolved edges into the U layer for easier lookahead, but it misses out on some of the efficient stuff Mark Z does.

 

[....]

i do this thing where i take out one edge and do some combination of flip (at most 1) and cycle to solve one edge immediately (if there exists an edge whose parts lie in only 3 of the 4 unsolved edges, otherwise do a little more) and then do regular flipping and cycling things after

i can take a video of this if anyone wants i think it’s efficient
