hellocubers' quest to solve the 3x3 in under 15 seconds with CFOP

[hellocubers]

scramble and recon?

oh shoot i actually scrambled it myself...

 

[hellocubers]

What method?

CFOP.

 

[Cubing Forever]

Use the RUF version, as it is quicker, and fingertricks are great for that.

no it's not quicker but the fingertricks are great
S move alg is quicker than RUF

Been learning some waterman. It's just when you do stuff with the LU and Redges that make me confused.

If your goal is to become world class, I'd advise not using waterman. I'd you genuinely enjoy it then fine, but there are some noticeable flaws in the methods that keep it from being as good as roux, cfop, or ZZ.

Ok Beginner Waterman:

Layer but minus an edge (Waterman Layer)
Rest of Corners (CLL)
Do a rotation so the Waterman Layer is now the L Layer and the missing edge is the LU Edge
Solve all of the now R Edges (ERL)
Do one of 8 Algorithms to solve the last Ledge while orienting the midges (L5E a)
Permute the Midges (L5E b)

the 8 algs could turn into 16 if you dont want to do setup moves (thats just D2). I plan on making a Waterman Beginner tutorial later today. I might DM it to you when im done.

I've not yet made a PB sheet. Should I make one?

 

[PetrusQuber]

Nice!

It’s nice for keeping track of progress, but not necessary imo

 

[CubeRed]

I don't really think it will help keep progress in track sinceI never record Ao5 PBs and my PB single is 9.92 so I don't think I will have marginal improvement on that for a couple of months.

Maybe.

Shameless self-promotion incoming…

If you decide to make one, you can use the template in my signature!

 

[hellocubers]

Something insane today. I broke my 2x2 ao100 PB 6 times in a row. (thanks, 3.82 and 4.64)
