Does anyone want me to start adding people's usual methods to the list?

 

[BoBoGuy]

Me

 

[SirWaffle]

People that feel like they aren't going to try again or at least not for a while would you please add your main methods to your post that has your time.

Wat! I guess I'm good at my non main methods

55.94

LBL LBL Reduction

normal methods: CLL, CFOP, Yau

 

[SirWaffle]

I wonder how long it will be until Robert comes and beats you Jk But really nice job!

 

[Robert-Y]

Er wat...

I'm not sure if this counts but 49.24

Intended methods: Ortega, Roux, Standard Reduction.

What happened:

2: Face, OCLL, PBL skip
3: Roux blocks, DF+DB skip, CMLL, 3 edge cycle to finish.
4: Nothing special.

Normal methods are: CLL, CFOP, Yau.

stuff

Uh, I really am not sure if it should be counted. I am going to have to think on that. If anyone has an opinion on whether or not it should counted I'd love to hear it.

 

[Robert-Y]

Actually, I was just thinking: The chances of a PBL skip for 2x2x2 is 1/36, so I guess it's nothing special... (Twice as likely as a PLL skip on 3x3x3). As for the 3x3x3 solve, it's still quite different from a regular CFOP solve, in fact none of the steps are the same.

Of course it should be, he used a different method to normal.

If you're gonna start complaining that he did something too similar, you're gonna have to stop people doing redux instead of yau.

I would say that its fine. PBL skips are relatively common in Ortega, and its still intended to be an Ortega solve. For the roux solve, again its still a valid way of doing roux. I know that most roux users would continue in this way if they skipped DF,DB since there's no point destroying solved pieces so that you can do the steps in order, that's like taking a pair out because you got an Xcross.

 

[SirWaffle]

Alright I will count it.
