Non-Lucky single.

Ah, so, like, fullstep?
I'm not sure how a pb single isn't lucky. That's what makes it different from normal solves. Are pre-built f2l pairs lucky or only PLL skips?

It's up to you how you want to define it really. I use it in the same way as fullstep (so four easy pairs counts as NL), but others might say an easy F2L doesn't count as NL, because... well, it was lucky.

I agree that a "NL" PB single can't really be NL, which is why I prefer to use "fullstep" most of the time. But NL is easier to write.

Also, What does "rolling" a time mean?

Rolling an average is when you attempt to remove one of the bad times in your average with a better time by doing additional solves.

How to do H and Z perm very fast? I can't seem to find a good grip for M2 and then U.

Don't do M2 and U with the same hand. So if you do M2 lefty, use

H: M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2
Z: M2 U M2 U M' U2 M2 U2 M'

Or if you do righty M2:

H: M2 U' M2 U2' M2 U' M2
Z: M2 U' M2 U' M' U2' M2 U2' M'

it is normal that my last layer is slower than F2L?

No. Do you use 4LLL, 3LLL or 2LLL?

 

[Miguelin Kali]

No. Do you use 4LLL, 3LLL or 2LLL?

2 look oll and 2 look pll, I tink is 4ll

 

[obelisk477]

2 look oll and 2 look pll, I tink is 4ll

Start with this

oh tanks you

My cube has dry lube. How do I remove it?
I try by hand with soapy water, and wiping the surfaces of all the pieces of the puzzle with tissues but doesn't work...
(Sorry if my English is bad)

How to correctly fingertrick U perms?
Ua : (R U' R U) (R U) (R U') (R' U' R2)
Ub : (R2 U) (R U R' U') (R' U') (R' U R')
Also this OLL's gives me trouble with fingertricking :

(RU2 R2 U') (R2U') (R2U2R)
Thanks

H: M2 U' M2 U2' M2 U' M2
Z: M2 U' M2 U' M' U2' M2 U2' M'

Thanks, really helped. Cheers

For the U perms: I don't use those algs. I use M2 U M U2 M' U M2 for the first one and M2 U' M U2 M' U' M2 for the second one.

For that OLL: do all the U moves with your left hand. The R2s should alternate between R2' (anticlockwise) and R2 (clockwise). The execution looks like: R U2' R2' U' R2 U' R2' U2' R.

They are way better than my current ones, also thanks for tips

I use these for U perms because the turns for each face are always in the same direction.

clockwise: solved edge on the right
M2 u M' u2 M' u M2

counter clockwise: solved edge on the left
M2 u' M' u2' M' u' M2

M2 u M' u2 M' u M2

counter clockwise: solved edge on the left
M2 u' M' u2' M' u' M2

These u perms are gold. I use the inverses too meaning I can auf then do a U perm from any angle.

am i allowed to call myself sub 20 if i got a 20.24 and 20.34 average in comp

To anyone who knows full ZBLL, which ZBLL subsets (by CP) do you think are the easiest, in terms of alg execution? (not including sune)

Are there any subsets that are generally worse than the other ones?
