Getting excited for Worlds now!

Had a great 3BLD session this evening. 5/20 were sub-1, and 4 of the others were sub-1:02. Accuracy was 14/20. Now all I need to do is find that form in comp

Awsome!

With respect to OH tips one of the best sources is Antoine Cantin's video series:

He also lists some righty algs which are probably pretty decent. The principles for finger tricks are sure to be the same though.

See you in London - @Shaky Hands + @Selkie

Edit: Shucks, no @mark49152, @newtonbase or @bubbagrub

 

[Shaky Hands]

See you in London - @Shaky Hands , @Selkie , @newtonbase , @bubbagrub

Think it's just Chris, you and me for London.

Unfortunately I couldn't get to 2 comps so close together.

Good luck to all in your coming competitions!

For inspiration, this is one of the most interesting cubing interviews I've seen so far:

Among other things, Felix talks you through his current world record solve and how he planned/predicted 3 F2L pairs during inspection. o_O

Yeah that was interesting. Multi-slotting FTW

Shucks. 50% of the UK oldies in attendance this time.

We'll see the rest of you next week!

 

[Selkie]

I think I am all packed. Leaving to drive to London in about an hour. Staying in Hatfield north of M25 should be at the venue in the morning by 8. Looking forward to seeing you guys

Good luck to all the UK oldies and everyone going to US Nationals this weekend!

 

[chtiger]

Who from the thread is at US Nats?

Totally awesome video interview. Indeed his walkthrough of the world record solve was amazing, certainly the craziest part was ignoring the F2L pair in order to create the 3rd pair at the same time. However in my mind even more amazing is the revelation that his world class megaminx times (circa 40 seconds) have happened even though he uses 4 LOOK last layer! 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL! Which is very few algorithms, compared to Yu Da Hyun who uses 1,000 algorithms for the last layer...!

40 + easy PLLs ~90 algs isn't too far off Yu Da Hyun ~200 Algs, Senior Pablo on the other hand knows more than 300 LL algs.

Good luck to you all going to Paris!!!

Yep -- I'm afraid I'm in the same boat as @newtonbase. So no London for me, but we'll be there for Worlds.

Good luck everyone this weekend! I'm predicting a world record number of world records broken in the next 7 days...

Yeah, Juan now knows full Megaminx OLL+PLL = 410

Agreed -- that really surprised me.
