Butchering of blockbuilding

[JLarsen]

Absolute butchery.

 

[JohnnyA]

Are you calling this butchering because he is making blockbuilding algorithmic, or because it's a really good method?

 

[ErikJ]

I can't even laugh at this. it makes me feel sick.

why does everyone think ZBF2L is so good? 306 algorithms for one step is not practical no matter how you look at it.

 

[JLarsen]

Johnny- The algorithmic part, the fact that he jacked EJ's F2L, and the fact that hes killing the concept of 2x2x2, 1x2x3, and 2x2x3, and at once.

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

This is sickening...I don't even blockbuild and this is sickening. And he stole EJF2L

P.S. - the Westonian is a nice guy, so don't get too pent-up-angry at him. He probably didn't even know about it. He uses Fridrich so don't be suprised that he is not good at blockbuilding.

P.P.S. - I'll talk to him about this next time I see him.

 

[JLarsen]

Sure, I'll be a little kinder, but you can see how this is aggravating for Petrus users. All of these Fridrich modifications just **** me off.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

Easier than the Petrus way of making a 2x2x3 block? Lies.

 

[JLarsen]

It's incredibly restrictive. Not to mention it doesn't actually use the function of Roux or Petrus, which is to reduce the cube to certain layers.

 

[nitrocan]

What a waste of moves.

Combination of "Crossless 2 F2L pairs" and "Center alignment with the correct edge"

It isn't easier, more useful or faster than Petrus or Roux.

 

[fanwuq]

Another unreliable video by the same guy? And he has quite a few subscribers. What is this? Thrawst the 2nd? (both of seem like nice people, but the content is just horrible.) He turns really fast, but uses way too many moves for every step.

 

[JLarsen]

Wow, I think I know why now. Look at the tags, they include every common misspelling of Rubik's cube there is.

 

[DavidWoner]

Sorry but I'm not going to listen to someone talk about "blockbuilding" if he can't say Roux's name correctly. This method defeats the entire point of blockbuilding, which is to obtain a lower movecount than with Fridrich. I just... don't know where to begin with this.

I had never heard of the idea to block build like this, so I missed out on EJF2L. I like the presentation of this video, and I will certainly try to look for cases like this when I can see a quick way to make a 2x2x1. I like the extension to the 2x2x1 on the other side, followed by fixing the centers and DF edge. I think part of the key to getting fast times is being able to be versatile. Just because you wouldn't use an idea like this all the time doesn't mean it's a bad idea.

As for EJF2L, sometimes people discover things independently without realizing? I had never heard of EJF2L either, but now I will certainly look into it. I like the idea so far at least.

sometimes I'll see a direct 2x2x3 that uses 2 opposite 1x2x2s. but doing 2x2x3->2x2x3 is way more efficient.

and as far as EJF2L goes in his video. He posted a comment saying that he has been meaning to credit me for it.

*Trying to be a little nicer cuz my buddy Emmerson said your alright*

The purpose of opposing 1x2x3 blocks is to reduce the cube to M and U. The purpose of making a 2x2x3 block is to reduce the cube to R and U. Do you see how this doesn't really take advantage of either? Also the 2x2x2 gives you freedom, and starting off of one color every time doesn't give you any choice to pick the easiest block.

Hahaha thanks
Well let me explain something.
Frst I've bee meaning to credit eric johnson on the ejf2l thing but I keep on forgtting.

Secondly
This was just a experiment.
I was experimenting with petrus and I found it extremely easy to make a 2x2x1 block but I found it extremely hard to make the 2x2x2 block
so I noticed this new method thing and decided to show some peple.

-Everything settled.

this makes me so mad.... i can't even finish it
