Moves Per Second Competition

Using R U' R' U, I did 12 turns in 1.14 seconds. 12/1.14 = 10.52. I can get this better!

How do you recover to do that last U? I can't for the life of me see how that time is even possible, as I have to regrip for the last U each time.

I don't get it... regrip for the U each time? Every fourth move?

Yea, I still don't get why he was confused though. Was that reply supposed to be to him?

Yeah, I was just too lazy to scroll back up :p I think the way he (Kian) does those moves is by starting by holding the R face with his thumb at the bottom and the fingers on top. Am I right, Kian?

I'd like to point out that the idiot that posted before you bumped a topic that is almost a year and a half old. I had only been cubing for 5~ months at that time, and was very slow >.< . But yes I still do the finger trick the same way, and that is the way that it is shown in the video,

Ah, I see what you do now. Yes, I was performing it the way that Robert described. Never even crossed my mind to start with my thumb in the other position.

And wow, yeah I did not realize he had bumped a year and a half old thread.
 
URU'R' x 12 = 2.72
48/2.72 = 17.65 mov/sec

2.88 avg of 5

I'd like to know Faz's moves per second.
 
(R U R' U')x6
5 Attempts: (2.75), (2.26), 2.45, 2.59, 2.47
Avg tps = 24/2.50 = 9.6
Best tps = 24/2.26 ~ 10.62

EDIT: 24/2.18 ~11.01tps yay! :)
EDIT2: 24/2.09= 11.48 (F-II ftw!)

(MUM'U')*5 in 1.80 = 16.67 moves a second

That's 11.11 not 16.67. You can't count M as two moves unless you actually execute it in two steps.

Of course I can. Unless you'll let me count it as a single move in FMC because I execute it as one ;)

In speedsolving we use slice turn metric; in fewest moves solving we use face turn metric. It's not wrong to use different metrics because the goals of speedsolving and fewest moves solving are different. In this case you are doing a speedsolving-related contest so you should use STM.
