Wow. Just... Wow. :blink:

Incrdible fast,
I almost feel slow with my 1:55.55 (I had some faster solved but this is the fastest on video) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OVAyQ1QbeM

Erik: I am a little disappointed . I followed the breakdown of your video and Franks and this is how they look:

Centers: 33/35 (you -2)
Edges: 43/60 (you -17)
3x3x3: 22/20 (you +2)

I know of a guy called Arnaud van Galen and he is really slow. His solves seem to break down like 55/60/50. If he can do 60 on the edges, so can you

Frank: Great job. I think the only part you can really improve is on centers. M?ty?s has a video of an even faster solve (1.31 if I remember correctly) that had 24 seconds for centers!

 

[Erik]

Hehe yeah av you have some fast edges. I'm going only for your method now, but I just wanted to have a sub-2 on video

 

[AvGalen]

The video is up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOpWRIfdJvc. I know I use to many setup moves, but that is just to make it easier for beginners.

 

[Erik]

Hey av I made a small vid of trying to do your way: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgGc824yk-4
Is it good or am I doing something bad?

 

[AvGalen]

Not quite. I will practice a little with the orientation you use and I will upload a video tonight. I was planning on making a "speedcubing friendly" way of this video anyway

 

[aznblur]

WOW!

Damn, my Eastsheen isn't so tolerant to finger tricks, anyone know how to make it not so fragile?

Gotta work on my edges, I do 8 edges separately, then the last 4 all at once. It's so slow!

 

[pjk]

I need to start practicing the 5x5 more.... Frank is quite amazing.

 

[AvGalen]

Unfortunately, I don't have a video camera today. I have a webcam though. Erik, maybe it would be a good idea to chat on MSN? [email protected].

 

[Erik]

I added you, why didn't you tell me you had msn?
I only have a webcam too, but it is lucky to be my webcam with so much great video material he can record

 

[AvGalen]

I never told Daniel Beyer or M?ty?s Kuti I had MSN, but they found me anyway

"Small" hint: click on someones nickname

[Sniph]

Bravo.. bravo.

 

[Erik]

that is quite a good hint there arnoud! 28 cubers in my msn currently..

 

[AvGalen]

28 cubers in my msn currently

If most of those cubers have a webcam, maybe would could organise an unofficial online competition. I will have to think about that a little more when I am more "awake", timezones might be a problem?

 

[Erik]

I'm sure that at least 6 cubers of them have a webcam...

 

[AvGalen]

I liked the idea so much I decided to start a topic about it in the competition area:

Brainstorm: How about a "live" online competition?
