F2L: (Rapid 2nd-Gen insertion w/ rotation) vs (F/B F2L styles)

^ Stop with the word games lol

Okay the topic is solved..
You should rotate instead of using F/B moves to improve look ahead.

It's using only two side to accomplish something. such as <F,U>.

I'm pretty sure it is 2-gen, not 2nd gen, though. That might be what he was pointing out.

Edit: Ninja'd because I open a bunch of threads at once to read them.

Eurgh, in your defence, you almost certainly haven't been cubing enough to have got that reference (don't worry this isn't an insult). I am well aware what 2-gen is.

Doing only <F,U> doesn't make a case in which all the last layer edges are not oriented.
But it does change edge orientation. Just like all of the algorithms in the poll.

No they don't. All the algs in the poll are the EXACT SAME. None of them affect edge orientation any different than the others.

 

[Jorghi]

I never said the other algorithms don't affect edge orientation

And based on the poll a fully rotationless F2L would be so slow because it kills lookahead I bet.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the edge orientation issue.

 

[Jorghi]

I never said it does.

 

[uberCuber]

I assumed that since you started that sentence with "And", it was connected to the first part of your post, which dealt with edge orientation.

THIS.

I cant believe it took more than 50 posts before some of the obvious mistakes got called out. Also, begging the question much with those poll options?

I'd do the F ones, that's actually the only F/B trigger I do in F2L, forced myself to it after watching example solves by some fast F2L guys. It's a great help to me for reducing my rotations (which I'm slow at).

 

[cubersmith]

Oh yes, I'm "flaming". Do you even know what that is? I'm just stating points, none of what I said should be offensive to anyone.

fair enough
