Random Cubing Discussion

I've got a weird way of recognizing my sune/antisune CxLLs (CMLLs, COLL, CLLs, etc.). I knew and used the algs with normal recognition for COLL earlier when I used ZZ, but then switched to Roux. Then, when learning CMLLs, I kind of just invented my own recog method. I feel like it's better for AUFless recognition. Honestly, I haven't put this to use beyond pure (anti) sunes and niklases. Basically, I look at the top face and determine what two stickers are opposites, and where they are in relation to the OCLL case, leaving you with 3 sets of 2 cases. Then, using a third sticker of the same/opposite color, differentiate between the final cases. Is this bad?

Well, this is basically a 4-sticker system, since you're using all three on U, plus one more. Imo 3-sticker systems are usually best.

I wrote up a guide here with four recognition systems, designed for people learning to recog Sunes from several/all angles. It might be worth taking a look.

Alternatively, you can learn how to recognise just by looking at the U face. You'll need to learn which colours are clockwise from which other colours, so it's harder to learn, but potentially much faster and much more flexible.
 
Budget of cubes is really no issue for me. I've bought GANS UM and SM and no matter what i keep going back to my MoYu GTS2m. It has a nice smooth feel and turns really nice. I don't even need to lube the pieces just the core to reduce spring noise. But a GANS cube I love the feel of the cube in my hands I like the rounded edges and slightly bigger size and weight of a that cube. But no matter how i tweak the gans i keep going back to my GTS2M

People complain about WuHuas and WuJis breaking all the time...

Mine hasn't broken despite hundreds of pops (and a couple of corner twists), although I don't think I've ever actually dropped my Wuhua.

My general strategy is something like this: if it's an outer x-centre pop, I'll remove one of the outer wing pieces first, then reinsert the x-centre and the wing in that order; if it's an oblique pop, I'll remove the outer wing and an outer x-centre, then reinsert. This seems to be easier than trying to force a centre piece with other pieces blocking the way, and the outer wings seem to be relatively "safe" to remove/insert.
 
My WCA ID says 236 completed solves. I've counted and I have 9 DNF's, plus a DNS (which is marked as a DNF).

One of them was an OH solve where I accidentally stopped the timer midway through, one from MBLD, and the rest were from 3BLD. DNF's are common in blind events.
 
1915 solves, 105 DNFs (57 from blind)

Out of the DNFs I can remember... dropped the cube at the end of the solve and multiple centers caps came off, got a corner twist (3x3), timer reset, overinspection (2x2), over time limit (4x4 and Mega), dropped the cube (OH), couldn't turn and gave up, stopped the timer as soon as I started it because nervous (Feet), made a turn in inspection, timer reset and an unsolved puzzle (Mega), solved everything to 6 (Clock, the rest were probably off by the obvious amounts), didn't know how to solve (before the reg was introduced), couldn't reassemble puzzle (Skewb), didn't realise the cube was unsolved by two edges, stopped timer when starting (Square-1).
