Or you could just do the A10

How much of an advantage is roux's low move count?

 

[5BLD]

Big enough for me to be fast. I averge about 47 STM on average i think. I am quite a slow turner...

I noticed that your faster solves often have a lower move-count than others. Do you think roux has more potential for speed than CFOP?

I hesitate to but I say- yes. But one thing I notice is I don't turn nearly as fast as people my speed. Whether thats a result of or a cost of being efficient I don't know. Is it harder to look ahead? I don't know.

Imagine if you turned 8-9tps....epicWR

That would probably be at the expense of his lookahead

Indeed, which is why I want to make smoothness a priority. I am making turn speed a slow progression.

Good. Consistency is key - and in a sense you guarantee yourself future improvement independent of your progression in other areas of solving.

"Pure" OLL parity alg for 3 coloured 4x4x4

 

[cubecraze1]

Do people apply random 3x3 methods to 4x4? I was trying it today and it was quite fun. Obviously not efficient but still fun to do.

 

[nqwe]

Roux on 4x4 is the best

4x4x4 or 5x5x5: [l2 U2 l2 r U2 r']2

eww Roux 4x4 i tried that one and it took for ever.

you probably don't know what your doing then.

No not really the point wasn't really to go fast though it was to have fun. I never looked up a tutorial or anything.

This came up in a couple of solves recently, and it made me wonder.
I finished F2L, and recognised OLL. It was easy to recognise which CLL case it would be, and I noticed this after I started the OLL alg, which happens to be the only alg I use for that OLL, that I would get a CPLL skip. After finishing the alg, LL was solved. Did I get a PLL skip or an EPLL skip?

Spoiler

"Try learning some more OLLCP" isn't the answer I'm looking for, just in case anyone wanted to point that out

 

[aznanimedude]

EPLL is just a subset of PLL anyway so i'd just call it PLL skip

 

[Robert-Y]

Anticipated CPLL skip, EPLL skip?
