"No Fingertrick" solving

[Chapuunka]

I don't know if this has been done before, but it sounds interesting to me. Pretty much you solve only with whole-hand turns. Post your Avg of 5 below, I'm curious what this is going to be like. Also tell us what you normally average so we have something to reference.

Scrambles (from qqTimer):

This thread has been in the back of my head for a long time. I never created it though. But good I idea. I can't now, but I will later.

 

[NanoCuber]

I'm so going to try this, It sounds like a good idea!

EDIT: I'll post my avg of 5 asap.

I can sub9 avg wristing np. I setup F2L skip during cross, and setup LL skip during F2L so I avg sub30 moves!!11

Lolz btw how would u set up LL skip during F2L when u skipped F2L =O

 

[Meep]

I recorded myself doing this before and got a few sub-20s lol

Crappy quality, yeah

well he obviously bent the space time continuend thing and set up the LL during the inspection phase.

"No finger trick"=hand trick??

 

[Winoko21]

i can't solve it without fingertrick, the fingertrick itsely have become my muscle memory

There is no such thing as no fingertricks, there are just good and bad fingertricks...

 

[riffz]

There is no such thing as no fingertricks, there are just good and bad fingertricks...

I have to agree with this...

I would disagree - if you were to solve the cube as I believe Chris Hardwick once had us do during a challenge, with palms only (you're not allowed to touch the cube with any part of the fingers, just palms) then I would say you've truly solved the cube with no fingertricks. And then of course there's feet solving.

 

[qqwref]

Yeah, to me a fingertrick is a somewhat specific thing, not just whatever you do when you turn. I think of a fingertrick as a way to do a short sequence of moves very fast, usually in fewer separate motions than if you were doing the turns separately. So no-fingertrick solving for me would mean doing each turn separately.

 

[nitrocan]

I can't do this, since I can't really tell if I'm doing a fingertrick or not.

Yish? Is that you?

Dene was Yish all along =D

You guys should watch Jessica Fridrich's old videos, her "palmtricks" are insane and she gets 13 seconds
