i really dont believe you, but im glad that you will never, ever need to cube rotate during a solve.
right?
right?
Really need HELP ON CUBE ROTATION

One cube rotation. From cross-> F2L... That's it

"easier" means easier to execute (not kill)... And yes... Basically..

Oh wait, *snatches cookie*.
You MUST learn your bottom cross; or even the side cross if it's easier to build (not construct

That's what I'll be working on once finals are done ..

Pochmann never fails to make me laugh...
Who wrote that?
dude, there are HUNDREDS of lists of algorithms on the internet that use x, y, and z (notice the small letters, and NO PARENTHESES!!! (fail at spelling)) rotations, and hundreds of glossarys...

does the pro cubers use cube rotation? =/

Haha!
Haha! No cube rotations is a very hard position to defend, but congratulations to the defenders anyway.
And to Stefan Pochmann: NIce one.

Thanks for the confirmation.
Now the correct alg can simply be watched here:

It's funny... once you do things right, they suddenly work!
What are your solving times?I find cube rotations like that pointless... Its stupid and a waste of time. I just edit the algs to no cube rotations

...and here is my answer.

Simple LL... Simple F2L... 8.07 seconds...

i doubt you are going to get a very accurate answer from him.

I've gotten a lot faster but I get lots of lockups with my cube so approx. 20 seconds... Escher... That 8 sec one was from the simple scramble page -.- ... Idiot...

there is absolutely no need to call me an idiot.
you've gone from 50s avg of 5 to '20s average' in three weeks, which is why im so dubious, seeing as i haven't every heard of anybody improving like that.
ever since 'the 2x2 method' incident, ive been wary of the times you've been posting.

Why do you even give a **** how fast I am, if I rotate and ANYTHING else?
Escher
Babby
"why do you even give a **** " about me asking questions?
there is no need to get defensive, im just curious as to how you improved so quickly, and how you can still get decent times without rotating (and for that matter, how you have good enough lookahead to see every 2x2 solve to the end).

Because you asked a question, and he is trying to help you.
By the way, it's not a good idea to get angry on this forum. If you do, you will GUARANTEED be totally owned by Stefan.
Yes. Not too many though. About 2-3 on the F2L, and 1-3 on the LL. (correct me if i'm wrong, Stefan
)I'm not really a pro cuber, because I do too many cube rotations. about 5-6 on the F2L...

During a solve, if you do a z2 at the beginning you most likely have to do a z2 at the end, the y not so much. Can you do z2 y RUR'U' z2 more easily (and/or faster) than BDB'D'?
Escher
Babby
well, i would say so - perhaps my technique isnt brilliant when it comes to B and D turns, but i (like so many other people) can execute RUR'U' very fast, and i dont find reaching around the cube much of a problem.
personally, i have to regrip more with BDB'D' than with RUR'U' - the LH does the first two turns (with a position change), and the RH the last two (similarly).
EDIT
to trying to speedcube : actually, i originally just took offense with post no 16, he didn't ask any questions. it was when answering stefan's question that i brought up the possible disparity in his times, that i'd noticed earlier (see the 'super lucky scramble' thread).

Yes, true. I'm sorry for that. I thought it was you who posted this thread. I should have double-checked that first.Because you asked a question, and he is trying to help you.

Anyway, you did share with us that you think cube rotations are stupid and pointless, and Escher, Stefan and me are all trying to explain to you why they aren't stupid. Then please don't get angry if Escher is just curious about your times dropping so damn fast. And I am curious too. I wish I could do that

I went from rotations -> 1 rotation, I got down to a 1-3 second cross and I got better at F2L.. That is why -.- ...

what was your LL like beforehand?
