why does no-one use petrus-w?

 

[PetrusQuber]

It was invented a few months ago?
Has not been spread past the forums?

Barely anyone uses normal Petrus either. Most of the people who use it are on this forum.
anyway, Petrus-W isn't as good as Petrus-a.

Splits:

2x2x2: 1.664

2x2x3: 2.442

EO: 1.190

F2L: 3.668

LL: 3.221

Total: 12.184
This is peak performance.

This thread is going to be a year old in 3 weeks. Wow.

As i see it
Roux and petrus are more consistent because you can almost always find an efficient solution
(2x2x3/1st and 2nd block)
Also oll skips are actaully pretty common for petrus bc The Ru F2l+ Oriented Edges
For me this is good and bad,
My Pbs for these methods are actaully pretty bad,
my pb for roux when i was averaging 17-16 was 13
and my pb for petrus is 9.32 when im getting 10 second averages of 12

 

[PetraPine]

I dont know either, i just suck at getting singles i have no idea lol

Eh, I had an 8.47 when I averaged just below 14, and it’s been like that forever.
And I get consistent 13s and 11s. It’s normal for me to hit a sub 10 solve once or twice every session (so I’m hoping for PB soon)

 

[PetraPine]

Also Just found this thing
Yau5-4
Yau5 for petrus for 4x4 with free slice
1:Yau 3 cross edges and centers
2:solve a random last edge on bottom.
3: use freeslice to solve the two f2l pairs with most of the other edges.
4:create petrus block solve last two or three or so edges.
5;petrus

 

[PetraPine]

I have severe anxiety,
whenever i try to record myself i just fail get frustrated and fail more.
the best i could get was like 13-14 av doing slow solves. I'll
try again on monday

 

[PetraPine]

I can't find a tutorial for pyraminx petrus (backbone) anywhere can anyone help find one.?

 

[PapaSmurf]

Mess about with it. You basically solve a line and figure out what orientated is by solving. I figured it out (then promptly forgot) about a year ago.

 

[PetraPine]

I think it makes more sense to use petrus-w If the only misoriented edges are e layer,
Normally you would have to reorient them and than rotate,
Instead with petw you could just have slightly worse f2l and save alot of moves and a rotation.

Found a new Way to do block building..
For roux what you can do if you get a case like this-
U L' D2 R2 B2 L B2 U2 R' D2 R' F' U2 B2 U' B L' R' F'
(Orange Blue yellow)
is use Non matching centers and just solve them after finishing 2nd Block
Whenever i saw something like this before i would just use a diff block,
but using m u correctly you can just Orient all edges while solving the centers.
Orange top white front,
U M´ U´ R2 D2 B´
you need to understand which way the centers will be effected when you swap them to not have to get awkward rotations,
but it isn´t hard once you get used to it.

Trying for consistently,
Accept For that one Really Nice Sub 11 Ao12 i havnt gotten much good recently.
So instead im going for doing atleast an ao50 everyday
and trying to steadily improve my Average over all,
today was a bit of a slow day but i also had lower tps.

Also i think the reason my Single is so slow is because if you look at my Averages,
after the first couple solves i got what 3 twelves?
i think its just that i have a very consistent turing/solving style.
i dont ever spam tps during solves,
which is a good and bad thing.
it makes my average more consistent overall but also means i dont get many good singles

If i get over my fear of recording my self and get sub 10
it prob wouldnt be hard for me to get YtuWR Ao5 And Ao12
because my consistency means getting bad singles is unlikely during an average
