It's called Fridrich. It's something that is occasionally used to solve cubes with, although most believe it's impossible to get a sub-20 solve with it. [/sarcasm]

Some people use full OLL.

 

[Gparker]

exactly fanwuq, even though i dont yet. i still know that alg. If you do f RUR'U' f' twice youll get that L case but from a different angle. so do a U2, then the F R U R' U' twice and then thats an oll

Dude,bro,amigo,Are you planning on beating Erik?

 

[krazedkat]

Who isn't planning that?

 

[f2lftw]

cheerz guys (y) uve been a great help and s.g speedcuber maybe 1 day ^^

uhm no... this was the OLL:

[F R U R' U' R U R' U' F'] or [F (R U R' U')*2 F']

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

I'm pretty sure he knew that the OLL he used was a CLL and would produce an EPLL or a PLL skip. It's easy to recognize: UBL and UFL opposite, UBR and UFR same.

 

[Gparker]

no, it was just simply a pll skip, because the end he had a very slow U2, he didnt know it was a pll skip. Lucas Garron on his site has a whole backtrack of the solve

Why don't we wait for Erik to comment on this? xD

 

[brunson]

I'm sure Erik has better things to do.

 

[Gparker]

i found the back track of eriks WR solve, pll skip

 

[JLarsen]

Are there any 3x3 speed records held on anything but Fridrich? And no, I don't mean ZBF2L or Fridrich expansions either. A different method entirely.

 

[KConny]

Dene i mean when he got 7:08 did he GET a PLL skip lol ^^

I'm not 100% sure, but I think he did.

Why would you answer if you're not sure? It's not like it's hard to find out.
Google: "Erik 7.08" and the first link is to the video on YouTube. In the first sentence of the description it says "This is the official world record for Rubik's cube, of course it has a PLL skip."

Why guess? So that you could claim that you "knew"? The thread creator won't care if it seems like you're just guessing. Your post wasn't helpful at all.

Wow, gz! Take a look at post #13 in this thread? Mads already posted a link to it. But you didn't bother to read the other peoples posts?

jeez PeterNewton

 

[puzzlemaster]

Yeah, it would be pretty hard to get a time below 8 seconds without skipping SOMETHING.

lol have u seen harris chan's 6.31? he had a 1x2x1 block built.. i'm not sure that that counts as a skip though

 

[PeterNewton]

i forgot to mention this before. erik got tired of people asking him about his cubes and methods, so he made some video called something for lamers. i duno, just use the search function or youtube.
but i am still very curious about the new method he mentioned in jason baum's zbf2l update 1 1/2 years ago. i bet he is just keeping it a secret until he masters it.
or maybe the method is not even for 3x3

does BLD count? i mean it's still technically a 3x3x3 speed record and people don't really use Fridrich on that... XD

 

[Gparker]

my bad if i dont click on every single link i see

 

[guusrs]

Skip or not, 43 moves in 7.08 seconds is amazing!
My average would be about 9 seconds when I had that finger speed
(actually my real average is about 18 seconds)
