One-handed is harder to get good at, in my opinion.

Seriously??? OH is pretty easy if you learn how to do the right fingertricks.

Well, you do have to change a bunch of algs, and change your way of doing look ahead, and then get creative with other cross solutions which require thinking out of the box, but it is easy to learn, since you have to do nothing new.

I'm in that position of picking a new alg to learn. This time it's V perm. I don't like the one with the rotation so I'm choosing between these two
R' U R' U' R D' R' D R' U D' R2 U' R2' D R2
R' U R U' R' f' U' R U2 R' U' R U' R' f R
I can't do either quickly right now but I guess the RUD one I will mess up more on?

Sorry if this is not one answer but here goes. I currently main this alg: R' U R U' R' f' U' R U2 R' U' R U' R' f R.
The RUD I use is R U' R U R' D R D' R U' D R2 U R2 D' R2, completely regripless and not awkward at all. It is severely underrated. I actually do the last U as a drag, but since there isn't that option I just put it as a push instead.

Use the reverse of the RUD one: R2' D' R2 U R2' U' D R D' R D R' U R U' R

Not as good IMO

Well, the move count is the same, they both have one regrip, but the alg I suggested has easier fingertricks and it has a starting regrip which is better than a regrip in the middle of the alg.

Where does it require a regrip? The way I do it it doesn't require one not even a starting regrip.

Wait are you talking about the RUD one, or the one with the Fw move in it?

 

[qwr]

I think all of them require a regrip somewhere unless you do some more extreme wrist moves

Without a doubt, use the RUD alg (R' U R' U' R D' R' D R' U D' R2 U' R2' D R2). It is the fastest V perm besides the standard alg with a y rotation (and variants like starting with F' U F' U' instead of R' U R' U' y). It is also very consistent, with practice though. I can easily get sub 1 every single time, and i can get all the way down to sub 0.85 with RUD.

 

[qwr]

I am currently a little slower at the wide f alg just because of the wide f is a little awkward for me to do with my right index. Actually the RUD alg might even flow better.

For this scramble L D' B D' L2 U2 R2 D L2 F2 U B2 L2 D2 B' L' B' D U' F'
I can't think of a good cross and cstimer said every cross is at least 6 moves
white cross solution is z2 R D' F L B D' which I never would've thought of because ruined the premade blue cross part and I don't like doing that

I find yellow F U2 L F' D L' D2 (or y' R U2 F R' D F' D2 when seen from another angle) to be ok'ish. In general there seem to be quite many easy yellow crosses.

nice solution

M moves in cross: too risky??

Not really. You could use them if you wanna preserve a pair or a solved corner.

What is the first 3x3 from each of the cube companies that were considered main-worthy at the time. (dayan, gan, qiyi, moyu/YJ)

and what is the order of gan cubes from the first one to the X (2018)

 

[the dnf master]

dayan guhong, gan 357, thunderclap v1, moyu weilong. That's what I think, i'm probably wrong tho
Also, the order of gancubes are mentioned on the wiki https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/GAN

There was a Dayan older than the GuHong and the first Moyu cube was Aolong v1.
Pretty sure the first QiYi wasn't a thunderclap(also pretty sure it was the valk)

@qwr pls clarify about the DaYan thing(I'm pretty sure that the first DaYan wasn't a GuHong)

 

[qwr]

first dayan cube is not well known and was called the taiyan, the first main-worthy cube as asked was indeed the guhong v1.
