wow, you did a float and 2e2e?? That's crazy. Do you float a lot? Seems like you must be super comfortable with it if you did it on a PB single

Also did you actually solve UFL so that it was twisted to force a better 2-twist alg?

 

[CarterK]

I float pretty much edges 3cycles only unless there is something else really easy - This session I was actually working on floating more than just 3cycles, so not super comfortable with 2e2e.

As for the corners, I saw how easy the corners were and realized that an eperm would permute everything. I didn't purposely make UFL twisted. That's just what happened.

Also, this solve was PB memo for sure, sub 9, but I didn't split it.

What is a float?

 

[CarterK]

What is a float?

I was going to answer with something stupid but I decided against it

Basically, when you have to break into a new cycle, instead of using your normal buffer, you would switch Buffers. This saves a letter pair and usually it is done with a 3cycle, but you can do it with other things too. (heck, you could even float the whole solve)

EDIT: I forgot to mention that usually it is recognized visually and done at the beginning of execution, but if you are comfortable you can do some really cool stuff with it.

I struck gold!

After almost 30h traveling by bus and some of the craziest trips I've ever had, I made it in time for 3BLD and not only I got my first official mean, but also an official PB and first place!

I'm stoked!

Also NR 10 / Top 30 CR for Single + Mean

 

[JustAnotherGenericCuber]

Started using images for corner memo:
4:01 DNF by tracing R instead of S
3:31 DNF by an edge flip missed in tracing
4:41 PB2, good memo, meh exec

 

[JustAnotherGenericCuber]

3:36 bld PB

I paused way too much ;(

PB mo3 is 32.000 and I'm proud of how well I did and the scrambles weren't even that easy
Also, hoping to break my PB single soon bcs I'm getting way too many 26s lol

21.95 solve in a very noisy environment, on cam! Pretty proud to get that, to tell the truth. I got an 18.4 some solves before that one, though, LOL, but not on cam... also it was handscramble over a DNF, so meh.

Pb single and ao5 single was 10/6' and used full corner comms. Drilling the 3style algs I know has helped a lot. Trying to finish up full corners soon.
