I obviously missed something again (man I am so slow on Sundays..) the R2 R2' ?


Is that something like that "schommeltje" that I showed a few days ago on the T perm Marcel?

(for info, I do the T perm with this: R2 U R2' U' R2 U' D R2' U' R2 U R2' D' )

No, it's an OLL which I always did with only R2: Clickerdeclick

 

[ThomasJE]

And here is how I would execute it. And a move by move breakdown:
R - right hand
U2' - double U flick on left hand (I know you struggle with these, but they are easier to do in an algorithm rather than intuitively like F2L)
R2 - right hand (I would twist my right hand back during U2')
U' - left index
R2' - right hand
U' - left index
R2 - right hand
U2' - double U flick on left hand
R - right index pushing on BRD sticker

On topic: I don't have my own topic, hopefully Marcel won't mind me stealing his for just a sec.. anyone tried my lucky scramble that I got my PB with?

R2 D2 L' U2 L2 R' F2 U2 L2 R2 D2 B2 R' D2 U' B2 D' F2 R' B2 F' U2 L2

I got 29.81 with that one at the beginning of October.

13.03. Nice scramble.

On topic: Marcel, nice solve and execution of OLL. You didn't even pause going into OLL!

 

[MarcelP]

Thanks!

And would you believe this? My second scramble of this afternoon:

Here is what I baked of it:

U' F2 L2 D' L2 U L2 D2 L2 U' R2 F L' F2 U B' D' B L F2

nice

Is that a Z perm? What's your alg?

 

[MarcelP]

Is that a Z perm? What's your alg?

Yes, and it is one of my slowest. But because I do mix H and Z up I use this one:

Z: M'2 u M2' D' M S M'

25.18 ZZ, 23.25 CFOP. I did mess up an F2L pair though.

 

[BenVdd]

I got a 21.85 on that one. easy F2L pairs and a T-perm to finish with.

 

[sneaklyfox]

Z: M'2 u M2' D' M S2 M'

^ correction

 

[MarcelP]

Yep, thanks.

 

[Kattenvriendin]

Nifty times Marcel!

U' F2 L2 D' L2 U L2 D2 L2 U' R2 F L' F2 U B' D' B L F2

45.13 2 piece pop during R perm. It is not easy to put them in while trying to hold the rest of the cube together.

Actually, I see nothing really wrong with finding an easy scramble posted by someone else and getting a PB single with it. They are real scrambles. Just not using it in an average.

With the sheer, well, easiness of some of the scrambles posted I think this is quite a foolish thing to say.

cool, my pb is sub 6 then.

If given scrambles, no matter how lucky or not, are not vallid, then all PBs made in the race threads and such are invalid as well.

you (should) know what i mean. its not your pb if you only did it because you knew it was an easy scramble.

i'm just quoting this here so that 5bld cant remove it if he decides to because someboodeeh might be offended.

It does not change the fact that you solved the cube faster than previous tries hence your personal best solve. It's a personal descision to think of it like that or not. I know I don't i said "new pb" meaning : this was my best solve to this date. If someone would ask me what my best time is I wouldn't respond with the time I got on this scramble. Now let's just drop it cuz "you used someone elses scramble thus it was not your best solve" is just paradoxal and moronic.

Hey look! Marcel's intro thread is so popular it even sparked an argument! (Except I don't think Marcel himself was really involved!)

ROFL.. so you like Brussel's sprouts

Too bad really that when you start learning the cube though the first and pretty much only method that comes up when googling IS Fridrich.

Ah well.. as long as in the end we don't peel off stickers any method is fine.. right

Nah, I did not care enough to put my 2 cents in..
