Is going slow REALLY better?

[Crzyazn]

It is very true that Nakajima's insane turning speed gives him a little more room to look-ahead and achieve fast times.

But his slow-turning videos are pretty good indications that his look-ahead is as solid as any other pro cuber

Why do people think no look ahead, going as fast as you can is Nakajima style? It's not his style at all, if you haven't noticed, he DOES look ahead, it's just his speed is amazing. I don't really see him pause 1 second between each pair.

I think that's because when you see turning like he does, when he does make miniscule (like the rest of the top cubers) pauses for recognition its a bigger contrast.
Fast and choppy is a bad description. I think his recognition times are the same as the other top cubers, he just turns faster.

I have to say that slow turning speeds are better for different methods. For instance, for the 3x3 I use Petrus method. If you go fast, you have no look ahead, and the look ahead for Petrus is harder than for Fridrich.

For 4x4, however, I use K4. I've noticed I have to move quickly, and almost constantly, to have a good solve. There's not much room to stop and look around during my solves.

Exactly, and that's why he's faster.

He must have some good algorithms.

Do you ever look at how old threads are? MAJOR BUMP, and for no good reason.

 

[darkzelkova]

Yeah seriously, how would you even find this?

 

[BigSams]

lol not that big of a bump. i've seen 2007s and 2006s bumped before

 

[Logan]

10 month bump = fail
2 year bump = super fail
10 month bump w/pointless post = Uber fail

 

[Poke]

Over 10 month bump = Failure

You're saying it wouldn't be a failure if it was bumped May 31st.

Yes, that's exactly what he's saying.
