Older cubers discussions

@Lid - Some awesome times there Stefan, the 4x4 is over 2 seconds better than my PB Ao12. The OH s just insane. I got down to sub 45 a few years ago but my left hand is just too old and it hurts to OH. Sub 25! That is insane. Also a loely Square 1 single

@h2f - A great unboxing Grzegorz and I think your English is very good as well. I must order a Qiyi stickerless Skewb :)

@Marcel P - You are getting faster and with less pauses. Lovely single there.

Gutted unable to make London Open this weekend but my VW bus is still off the road. Hope all attending have a great time
 
@h2f: Grzegorz, so now I have to make a new order for the qiyi skewb :) Do you recommend stickerless then? That Ao100 is great. It's been a long time since I last did a skewb Ao100 but you're like 3 seconds faster on average. Those 8 singles in the video seemed effortless, like if you weren't even trying to be fast.

@MarcelP: Wow, nice solves! That 10 was fantastic. My turning precision when I try to force TPS is quite bad but that's what happens, some locky solves and some fast ones. Lately I only seem to get the locky ones, even when I don't push too much. I hope there's nothing wrong with my eye-brain-hand coordination... other that I'm getting old, but I'm too young to be old already :)
 
@Selkie, @mafergut, Chris, Miguel - Thank you for kind words. I think it's definietly worth buying - I find it much better than Moyu. It's something between Moyu and SS. It's soft, fast, easy to control, needs much more effort to solve which is something I'm not used to. I did ao100 11.89 and it's better from my previous best by 1.34 second but I havent practiced for 2 months.

Edit: My notes says I've beaten my all pbs in skewb except the single. Wow.

You've beaten the super-Ao5 I got the other day in the weekly comp of 9.23 :) The other averages simply destroy my PBs. I've checked prices at my usual web stores but, shouldn't I at least wait until some of my other orders arrive before making another one?

It's a rethorical question, I guess. :) BTW 11.78 after 120 solves. I've started learning Zperm which I did with setup and triple sledge.

Yeah, it was rethorical indeed. Can you share the Z-perm you've learned? I am using double U-perm right now. By the way, I saw you do an H-perm in the unboxing and it's the same I use. The problem is I don't know how to fingertrick it so it takes a lot of time.

Zperm I try is from here:http://meep.cubing.net/l5c.html

It goes like R L' U' L U L R L' R and I'm trying to fingertrick it. H perm I use is


It's arlo's. I cant find source movie but this one looks same. I'm very slow at both but I hope it will change soon.
 
Nice solves for a cube you hate so much Marcel, it can't be that bad!

Grzegorz, yeah for me it's better than my Moyu and shades are almost good enough for me, this Skewb was for a present but I think I'll get another stickerless and a black one.

My 3x3 times with the new color scheme (orange where the green is supposed to be, red instead of orange and black instead of red) are still like 4 seconds slower, but I'll keep trying, this stickerless cube looks too beautiful.

My cubes came! That was almost as fast as Amazon! They are both great! The Bochuang is just amazing, my first solve I set a PB of 4:55. I could've got an official with that probably, even though the cutoff was 4:45 he let me go to about 5 mins.

It's so smooth that I can do my normal algs without getting messed up from not having muscle memory! :)

Edit: Now a 1:54 on the G4. Probably my third best ever on second solve! The colors are much better too, especially the Bochuang. I'm quite excited if you can't tell. :)

I would like to try the black one with my fluo stickers: in some kind of light theres a small difference between green a yellow for my eyes. I cant even imagine how you feel with your color blindness.

In 6x6 I got new pb 6:01.53. On cam but it had bad angle.
 
That yellow is good, so with good light it's not a big problem, if not I get confused also with the orange. The shades are almost good enough, but I would have to remove the green and add black if I wanted to use this cube for speed.

Good luck to those competing!
 
I got similiar feeling - if green would be darker it would be perfect to me.
In 6x6 I've finally beaten my previous pbs in a mo3 ao5 ao12 by few seconds. I just could have nice pb in ao5 around 6:20 but messed on U perm with parity.
