[Unofficial] Clock DNF(6.63) avg - Sebastián Pino Castillo

[DavidWoner]

First time ever I see someone else than me do a non-flip solve. I know Koen Werner could do it after a bit of practising and never understood why the really fast people didn't do it. I think we will see many more people do it in the future and not just on 2-move-first-cross-scrambles

Congrats!!!!!

The same reason really fast 3x3 solvers don't solve without rotations every time.

Congrats Sebastian, you are so smooth.

amazing especially the non-flip solve. congrats! you really deserve it!
btw, anyone has the scrambles?

I don't wanna sound like a total noob but I've never solved a clock so how hard is a non-flip solve? Why is it hard other than the fact you can't see what you're doing?

Because it's harder to keep track of how many "turns" you've done and which "tabs" to press.

i need a dictionary

Tab=pins? I should probably watch a clock tutorial and then come back to have my mind blown lol

i think most people use Stefan's method

Yeah, that's the word. :fp

Truly amazing!!!

*feels noob*

 

[Baian Liu]

Amazing!

Do you think it's possible to memorize and not flip on any scramble?

 

[riffz]

Incredible. Nice showmanship on the last solve.

Yes, you can do every scramble without flipping (it's not all that hard). But you will get more DNFs, and it won't be faster unless you have practiced it a lot.

I consider solving without flipping the same as "seeing the cross during inspection". STANDARD for all good cubers

But one thing is to memorize the backside, you also have to inspect the frontside... so wouldn't that be cross+1st pair?

 

[Godmil]

Ok that's inspired me to buy a clock... anyone recommend a brand?

No, because you don't have to flip you can actually "inspect" the frontside while you are doing the backside.

and there are old clocks available on Ebay and new clocks only from 1 brand as far as I know. Clocks are hit/miss. Some are good, some aren't. The new clocks seem to have some problems with "loose" pins for me

Hot daym!
