Race to sub-2 on making the checkered board pattern on 3x3

[camdenyoyo]

Hi everyone.
I thought about doing this for a while and it seems that it woul be cool to see who can
make the checkered board pattern on 3x3 in under 2 sec.
I'm interested to see who can do it so do it!

First try 1.52. I think it should be a sub-1 race.

 

[Pandadudex96]

1.56 first try

 

[Kirjava]

1.03

 

[Goosly]

Racing to sub-2? Really?

(I thought this would be a surprise challenge)

Make it sub-1. First try was 1.42.

 

[TheMachanga]

1.37 on first try with a non diy.

IMO it's a pretty useless goal, even if it's sub 1.

EDIT: :fp I was doing the flower pattern the whole time. 1.87 for check pattern then.

 

[CRO]

1.79...

1.51

 

[blakedacuber]

1.63 first try

 

[Pandadudex96]

Just got back and tried it a bit then got 1.18 in like 3 tries

 

[jrb]

1.69

 

[d4m4s74]

1.61. I'm slow

 

[Pandadudex96]

When you do it slow, you can get much better times, like sub 1.5 easily

1.09

Urgh. I'm having difficult sub-2ing this. How are you guys executing?

I do M2yM2Dw2D'2

I got 1.15

I admit it is quite fun to do this but I don't think it deserves a race

M2 U2 D2 y M2

But, I can sub-1.5 with M2 y M2 z M2

I do either E2 M2 S2 (left index, left ring-left middle, right thumb)
Or E2 x E2 M2. (left index, right index-right ring, left ring-middle)
