SS RANKING​

loopover pbs

docs.google.com

if you want me to put your pbs on the spreadsheet, upload the csv file from the loopover.xyz statistics page to this page:

https://filipeteixeira.com.br/loopover-ranking/

to download the csv you just click on SETTINGS > Export solves as CSV on the loopover site

then just paste the table here and I'll put it on the spreadsheet.

I'm working on a login page so you can do it directly form that page afterwards. but I won't be able to complete it today.

Spoiler: how to solve

To try to summarise I build a block out of the 1, 2, 3, and 4 block then 6, 7, 8, and 9 block and down until I have a block out of pieces out of 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, and 19 pieces, then a block out of 5, 10, and 15, then i finish the solve by solving the bottom layer using piece 20 as a keyhole.

how to solve parity on even grids:

I looked it up on reddit, and you just do down left up left in the bottom right until it solves itself, and it worked. I got a time of 1:18:30.708

so I just found I can 3 cycle any pieces with setup moves and a famous trigger from 3x3 cube lol

v1.1 was 2 weeks old, and bad. Here's a better version.

I got skip. sub1min soon

 

[THE_V01DL0RD]

whats your method? I use square

2x2 pb: 0.000
3x3 pb: 9.568

whats your method? I use square

I use LBL with 2 look L4P (last 4 pieces)

2x2 pb: 0.000
3x3 pb: 9.568

3x3 is easy, you always have a skip at the end.
but is good to learn the first rows

 

[THE_V01DL0RD]

I tried LBL and finally...

For last layer I did something where I solved the 4th and 5th layer at the same time

This may not be a thread where a bunch of people do the same thing. But at least you have 1 friend to keep you company.

I upload the image for proof.

first sub1
I got a 4 cycle at the end.

 

[THE_V01DL0RD]

how do you do 4 cycle
also your lbl is very effecient

 

[An Animating Cuber]

I really like loop over I average around 30 I'll post an average of 12 soon.

 

[THE_V01DL0RD]

I modified your lbl so you can do the last 2 layers together. Its easy.

What method do you use?

 

[An Animating Cuber]

It's hard to explain you'll see once I post the average of 12.

how do you do 4 cycle
also your lbl is very effecient

ok, pay attention to the rightmost corner. do R' D R D'. that's a clockwise 3 cycle.
if you do the inverse, D R' D' R, it's the anticlockwise 3 cycle.

if you do a setup you can cycle 3 pieces of the same row. lets say you want to cycle ABC into CAB. just put C on bottom of B and do U' R U R'. then undo the setup. (C is now B, then you just slide the pieces so B takes C previous place)
if you learn how to do this cycle you just do a second cycle and you moved 4 pieces, just like a H perm can be solved with 2 U perms.

my method is to reach last row then I solve U and if needed, I solve V with a cycle, then I'm left with the last cycle.
you can also get a 3 cycle of the middle 3 pieces on the last row, then you just solve it and you're done. learn to do clockwise and anti clockwise, it's intuitive, and don't mess with the setups.
