Random Cubing Discussion

Been messing around with 6x6 L2E and I'm wondering if using L2E algs (the 'parity' ones that is) is even worth it on 6x6. Let's talk about the wing 2-swap alg, L' U2 L' U2 F2 L' F2 R U2 R' U2 L2 (bad notation, if you do big cubes you should know this). Is it worth it to use this alg (and other parity L2E algs) and risk getting another OLL parity, or is it faster to just setup that case to a single 'paritied' edge and leave that for LL?

I mean not great at 6x6, but at I'd assume that it's faster to not do the alg, since it's effectively doing 2 algs in the solve (L2E and OLL parity) rather than just the one. If you have parity, that is.

Yeah but if you don't have parity it's much faster to do the L2E. So it's kind of like weighing which set of algs is faster.
 
Just so everybody can know what happened this weekend...
WR 3x3 single: 4.74 Mats Valk
WR 5x5 single: 41.27 Feliks Zemdegs
WR 3x3 BLD single: 18.50 Kaijun Lin
WR 3x3 BLD Mean: 24.38 ^
WR 4BLD single: 2:02.49 ^
WR 5BLD single: 4:46.74 ^
WR 6x6 Mean: 1:37.85 Feliks Zemdegs

meanwhile I broke my humble PB single with a 6.68 (Feliks averages that at home!)

insanity....
 
Somebody needs to set Juan Pablo up with a kilominx

on cube explorer, how do you allow M moves but not E or S moves?
there's only an option for slice moves
