How come some kilominxes have centers (like the unstickerd QiYi) but others don't (like the stickered (black) QiYi). Dosen't having centers on kilominxes have a disadvantage to those which don't have centers?

yeah, that's the whole reason I got a shengshou, I guess it is hard to produce a stickerless kilo without having colored centers or something

Does ZBLS have 302 algs or 306 algs? I have heard either answer and it is confusing me.

Also, what is the gods' number for STM?

I've been wondering... If a 3x3 cube is 2 moves away from being solved but can be solved with an M slice, is it considered a +2 or DNF?

a DNF

what is the best 'roadmap' to getting fast at square 1 like from 1 min to sub 15 i am about 33

Square 1 is very straight forward. Learn algs, and practice. For sub 15 you don't need too many algs, just intuitive CS, intuitive CO, EO, CP, and intuitive EP. Besides that you simply need to practice a ton.

A while back I found a method on YouTube. It was a variation of corners first, mixed with waterman. It had a 40 page document attached explaining the method. Unfortunately I can not seem to find the method, if anyone knows what I am talking about that would be great.

In my opinion, A perms and E perms are a lot better than edge-only PLL's. I wonder if there is a set that solves edges when doing OLL with cross solved instead of corners. I do not know the name of this set (EOLL?) and if it did exist I could not find it anywhere. Is there an algorithm set anywhere and would you recommend it?

This is OCELL; some discussion from a few months ago: https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/oc-p-ell-cpll-for-oh-discussion.78648/

Thank you!

OCELL/CPLL a 2-gen friendly alternative to COLL/EPLL

This is an alternative system for completing the last layer with edges pre-oriented. Suitable for ZZ, Petrus, VH or ZBF2L users. OCELL stands for: Orient Corners [permute] Edges Last Layer. It could also be called OCEPLL, but that would be a bit of a mouthfull :rolleyes: The system is designed...

Do you guys remeber a meme video where a guy would pronounce american cubers names?

The video was absolutely hilarious.

But it's out of youtube so I wondered if any of you has it downloaded

I want it so bad

please

found it!!!
@Mike Hughey
it's not listed. found it on the wiki in the memes section
i'm gonna download just in case
EDIT: downloaded it successfully.

Hi from Sofia!

I am looking for 3X3 pictures database (F2L, OLL, PLL - any standard image format), as used in tutorials (for example here in the wiki part), with highest possible resolution. To remake them with visualcube or to copy from existing sites, one by one, looks to me too time consuming.
My aim is to make print a deck of qualitative playing cards with usual configurations (gift) - can somebody help?

So I'm a bit confused about FreeFOP, I have looked up tutorials of FreeFOP and all of them have shown a solve which is like CFOP solve, Converts to a Roux solve and then converts back to a CFOP solve. But when I look at the wiki and the forums it just says Cross minus an edge, F2L, OLL and PLL so is there actually a set method that is FreeFOP or are all methods similar to these just called FreeFOP? It honestly confuses m

 

[BenChristman1]

The “FreeF” in FreeFOP basically stands for “free F2L.” This just means to solve F2L by whatever means necessary. Then, do OLL and PLL. It’s pretty simple.

Ive been trying new methods on and off for the last few weeks, so Im interested in joining the method discord servers. I am already in the zz method server but I want to learn more about other methods as well. If you can, please leave a reply with the invite links for other method servers (like mehta, roux, idk if cfop has one). Any help is much appreciated!
