Race to: Global sub40
Cube: F2
Method: CFOP

for the scrambles from last wednesday :p
46.96, 39.65, 44.81 = 43.80 mo3... (3 F-perms wtf)

from saturday's scrambles:
46.00, 42.68, 31.16 [NL] = 39.94 mo3
If I may ask, what's so good about the F2 for feet solving? Why not use the more modern cubes with tight tensions?

You can pretty much forget cubes like the Thunderclap, with rounded corners because then you get corner twists like crazy. And the Aolong GT for example, doesn't corner twist but just turns too easily, If I want to do a rotation, it would just do the move like where my toe is. But I heard the Tanglong might be good for feet solving, I just haven't tried that. But modern speedcubes are just mostly trash for feet, if you want to get to a world class level. But you can literally use every cube to get down to 1:15 or even less with not too much effort :) (Zhanchi is still good, you can get sub50 with it!)

Round: 3
Race to Sub: 2:00
Cube: QiYi Thunderclap
Method: ZZ
Mean: 1:33.24

1. 1:19.78
2. 1:46.44
3. 1:33.49

Well, not sub-1:30, but good enough.
Second solve the cube flipped out from underneath my feet like 4 times, third solve I messed up EO.

Uh, on the ~150 feet solves I've done, I haven't had any corner twists with my thunderclap. This may be because I'm slow, or maybe because ZZ has a reduced move set and less cross-friction-inducing-twists.

I think your turning style is different. I've tried a thunderclap for feet and I got 3 corner twists in 1 solve! :p

Nothing like the revival of a good Feet thread.
Please post the round number, you time barrier, your cube, your method and your average.
Here is an example, though it doesn't have to be in this format:
-
Round: 42
Race to sub: 1:05
Cube: Guanlong
Method: PCMS
Average: 1:07.23
-

Round 3,841 will end on on Tuesday starting with an absurdly high number is fun
