I've done 5x5 with feet before, and Louis Cormier has done 8x8

That's kinda old lol. I have a 2:07

Yep, also 2, 5, 7, Mega, Pyra, Skewb, Clock lol
I attempted 3bld once but failed completely. (M2/OP isn't just the right method for that one )

I've done 1-6 and megaminx WF.

 

[JustAnotherGenericCuber]

Yes, have a look at human thistlethwaite, orient first and other similar reduction methods.

I think he means so that the mechanism only allows for half turns

Also didn't Joshua Feran do every single event with feet?

Not the blinds. I've wanted to beat his time but I need to learn to write with feet for FMC. I also want to beat Louis' biggest NxN with feet but that involves buying something bigger than an 8x8. Also I'm 6 seconds off Louis' 6x6 with feet but I'm not sure how long it would take to get that time again.

I've done 2-7, one foot, Mega, Pyra, Clock, Skewb and Square-1.

So lots of people unofficially do half turn solves on 3x3, I haven't really thought this through, but is there some way you can create a 3x3 so that its mechanism is restricted to half turns?

I think you could do this by making raised arm at different radial distances from the core of the cube on the E, M and S slice edges and tracks on the corresponding centres. It would be possible to do a quarter turn, but after that, you'd only be able to turn a face 45 degrees before it locks up because the bump wouldn't line up with the track on the centre.

In fact, this probably wouldn't be too difficult to do as a mod to a normal 3x3.

Yup, Oscar made one.

Well that's one down

 

[Benjamin Warry]

Just wait till people are solving the qiyi 19x19 with feet. o_O

 

[Daniel Lin]

is there an OLLCP trainer?

where you can choose cases like in roman's ZBLL trainer

 

[ECSCuber]

Do you think if Feliks switched to Roux, everyone else would switch? I feel like he could easily average sub 5 with his TPS

 

[greentgoatgal]

Probably lol. But he's not going to switch.

 

[ECSCuber]

Probably lol. But he's not going to switch.

Yeah, Although I do think there is more potential for roux than CFOP, considering Kian has only been cubing for 3 years and already has a global 6.2 average, and official 6.6 NR.

What about max?

 

[Mastermind2368]

What about max?

Personally, when people say "Who inspires you?" I have never said Max. Why? Cause when I started cubing, he had a 9 avg, fast, but world class? No. When I started cubing, I loved Faz because of how fast he is in NxN puzzles, so unless the only people who could switch to it would be people who started this year or late last year.

Watch this and tell me Max doesn't inspire you.

Hey, it might have not sounded like it, but even though I don't worship him, I think he is a cool guy. I look to some people and they make me wonder, "How could I ever do that.?" For example, Phill, he is one of the fastest cubers with ZZ and I can only get sub 14.5, I look up to him, do I have pictures of him hanging on my wall and only buy cubes from thecubicle.us ? Ofc, not! I look up to lots of cubers, but not for sub 5 avg with CFOP. Not many people know this, but I have a small bit of autism, so in that way he shows that autistic cubers can be fast. My friend John Albright inspires me because he is a very cool guy to hang out with and still super fast at skewb. Jay and Kevin Min inspire me because they use Yau5. I could go on but you get the idea, sub 5 avg makes me want to be faster, but sub 10 avg with ZZ makes me want to be a better ZZ user.
