I did a video of a speedsolve with 2-step F2L and 4-look-LL for my friend who has just started... to motivate him

Your video's amazing! I still think it's amazing that you used a beginner method.

 

[KJiptner]

I asked Erik to do a speedsolve with this method also
Now have a look at THIS:

Thank you my favourite dutchie!

p.s.: Anyone to challenge this?

 

[AvGalen]

What are they rules of this beginner-speedcubing game?
a) F2L: layer-by-layer
b) F2L: corner then edge
c) F2L: edge then corner
d) F2L: edge and corner separately in arbitray order

e) LL: 4 look
f) LL: 4 algs

I might try it next weekend if I know what to try

After seeing my keyhole solve for a couple of times I started thinking I was pretty fast. I don't feel so fast now anymore

 

[Erik]

Hmm well, we discussed the methods later and found a difference. I make first all 4 corners of 1st layer, while kai makes first 1 corner then 1 edge and then moves on to the next pair which we think is a bit faster cause misplaced edges can easily be gotten out. LL was 4 algorithms (orient edges, orient corners, permute corners, permute edges)

p.s. I thought keeping it a bit authentic and actualy did the edge 3 cykel with RU moves (!) :lol:

 

[AvGalen]

That is why I asked. I got the impression Kai used (and explained) b+e, but I thought you were doing a+e. I also noticed you both did the same edge 3 cycle, only yours was a "little" bit faster. Don't you normally use that 2-Gen alg?

 

[Erik]

I'd use:
M2'U'MU2M'U'M2' To be exact, (also 2-gen). Yesterday I got 1.08 on that (with starting with the cube in my hands)...

 

[AvGalen]

You really like doing slice moves, don't you? Maybe you should change to Roux permanently?

If you do one-handed, do you use slice moves also?

 

[Erik]

Err no, I'm not going to switch to roux (well not now at least) though I have done some sub-20 with it...
And no I dont do any slice moves one handed, it's horrible!

 

[dChan]

Yeah slice moves because like four moves one-handed. Do Lw, then do L' and for M2, you do Lw2 and then L2.

I want to see some up-close OH vids so I can see some technique.

I have a problem posting comments on my own video's on YouTube.

I go to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hm6mpS7XL04
I copy/paste this tekst

Thanks for the kind words. Somehowmy previous replies don't show up, so I just do it again:

Timer: Not my design, but I like it. More details on http://www.mission-designs.com/timer/index.html and you can buy it on Rubiks.com

I hope you will all improve very soon and maybe we will meet at a competition someday.

In the textbox at the bottom of the page, just below "Comment on this video"
I press the "Post Comment"-button
A pop-up appears that says "Thank You. Your comment has been posted!
The text on the "Post Comment"-button has changed to "Comment Posted!"

But the comment never appears.

The same happens at some of my other videos. I posted 3 seperate comments (500 chars max-limit) at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOpWRIfdJvc and only 2 appear.

Does this happen to other people? Does anyone knows a solution?

 

[choipster]

hey Thrawst, I actually used your how to get faster part 2 as a guide to lubricating my cube good stuff.

 

[Tomarse]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN-fEV2fL7k my first youtube one, keep checking my vids for more updates and shizzle

 

[dChan]

Definetly gonna watch your Tomarse!

 

[Cubinator]

I got a Rubik's Magic at the end of Rutgers yesterday. I brought it home, played with it a bit, learned Bob Burton's solution, and did some speed solves.

Now, the day after I got it, I have a sub-2 PB on the Magic I caught a sub-2 on video; take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBg5PivR-RA

 

[tenderchkn]

Finally got around to making a couple of videos:

[AvGalen]

Since I am having trouble posting comments on Youtube, I just do it here:

TomArse: I couldn't see most of your OLL, but your last layer is pretty ok. Actually WHEN you turn it is quite fast, but you have so many long delays between algs. My advice: "go slow". During an alg, you should "look-ahead" for the next piece/pieces. A perfect solve is one continious motion.

Cubinator: Very good after just 1 day. Will you be sub-1 after 2 days

tenderchkn: The first solve had a very fast LL. The One-Handed solve had fast F2L, a slow OLL, but a PLL that started at lightning-speed. What alg was that? All I could see was a lot of L-moves

 

[tenderchkn]

J-perm. The one that starts with an anti-sune and ends with a anti-niklas I think. Yeah, I need to work on my double layer turns one handed.

I needed a new 2x2x2 video nothing fancy. I just feel like posting. Fast time but a totally ugly solve.

 

[AvGalen]

Either you know way to many algs, or that was a lucky solve First 2 opposite faces in 3 moves, then an easy/short finish.

technically it was a guimond fast 1st step then 2nd step skip (I saw that in preinspection).. then D-layer adjacent corner and U-Layer diagonal corner swap (takes 7 moves). Erik would have needed around 1,03 seconds
