Cube standing up or sitting down?

Don't complain about reviving old threads. Sometimes it's nice to discuss something again.

Bumping for a reason is good. No reason was supplied by the bumper though. I bet they probably don't care about more recent views.

i only stand for 2x2 because it's too much effort to sit down and stand up just for a 6 second solve
same goes for magic

 

[Vampirate713]

I stand when I am going for speed on the 3x3, but the 4x4 and larger, I usually sit.

This is kinda weird but true. In the unofficial comp we had, i stood up for 2x2, 3x3, and 3x3 OH. For big cubes I sit down for redux and stand up when i get excited and start turning fast.

At home I sit down for everything except magic

Unless seeing early posts the old thread would cause confusion among present-day knowledge and posts, does there have to be a reason?

I cube sitting down in practice, haven't been to competition yet, and only solve when I'm in a hurry at school, or have no place in the room to sit.

This is one of those threads that's intended to be a "me, too" kind of thread. In my opinion, all threads like this are meant to be perpetual, and should continue to be bumped periodically forever.

By the way, I sat down for a lot of solves at the Indiana Open because the tables were too low to stand for. But I still prefer to stand. Except for 5x5x5 BLD, multi, and fewest moves.

In this case, we should a have a general set of threads like this that get bumped at the first of January every year for the noobs to come along and get it out of their systems.

maybe an extra "forum" for bumped threads which doesn't show up on the front page, if the thread is over 3 months old it can't show up on the front page anymore unless there's a special reason for the bump.
I don't mind threads being bumped, I just don't like them showing up where much more interesting threads could be.

Anyone that doesn't have the word "Moderator" under their name should shut the hell up about whether it's okay to bump threads or not. If you think someone is in violation of a documented forum guideline then report them to a moderator using the report button. If you don't think it's important enough to bother a moderator with, then it isn't important enough to whine about. I'm way more sick of reading your bickering than I am of reading a bumped post.

I sit to practise, but when solving it doesn't really bother me. If you are showing someone, you don't find a seat first?

 

[d4m4s74]

I usually sit, just because one should not stand on the train, bus and everywhere I practice.

When I show anyone I usually stand up as if it's an act, standing up I can move my arm more which makes it look a bit more impressive (bigger movements makes it look like I move faster which makes it look more difficult to solve it that fast (even though my solves are pretty slow)

I think I'll do competitions sitting down though, no need to show off

 

[MTGjumper]

I prefer to be sitting down. The one time that I actually stood for a solve in comp I got sup-15 on 2x2. Standing might have messed up my concentration.

 

[rubikscubiks]

yh u get to slam the cube when your sitting!..xx

 

[Sa967St]

I get too nervous when I stand up (at competitions), so I prefer sitting. It also takes less time to pick up the cube and slam it down.

 

[Unknown.soul]

I practice either way unless I'm timing myself (sitting). I've never been to a competition before, but I'd rather sit.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

Sitting. It helps me relax more, with helps with cubing I've found.
Probably since after you use the same method for a while it gets to your subconscious...

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

I prefer standing OH, then again, I have never tried sitting down OH at a competition...

 

[HASH-CUBE]

i like to set, it's much better, but sometimes i get up and solve it, it acually depends on the place and the table i cube on

thanks

While practicing, I usually sit.

At competitions, I stand up for all puzzles except for 5x5x5. I am not very tall and I am afraid of accidentally stopping the timer too early with my arms. I do not own a stacktimer, so I always use a stopwatch or computer.

Someone has a yt vid of MK stopping the timer too early on a 2x2x2 solve.
