Yeah recognition of the last one is pretty hard to get used to.

I can recognise all the L cases easily, I just don't know the algs for two of them

 

[CheesecakeCuber]

how long has it been since you first started learning one look cmll. you should think about finishing them really soon. they are the easiest way to improve.

Let's just say that it's been a long time

But, after exams I should be able to finish the chameleons and move on to suns and antisunes

I had trouble figuring out that you need to pay attention to which stickers are opposite and where they are.

Sune Anti Sune SASsy they sassy algs

I don't do recognition how it is on waffo's page (I'm assuming you learned CMLL from there, not sure why). I do it from this angle:

First, I look at the two colours on U.

Spoiler: If they're adjacent, I look at the two colours on the UFR piece

If I can see four different colours in total, antisune U2 sune.
If I can see two different colours, [R U2 R': R' F R F']

Spoiler: If they're opposite, I have the commutator cases. I look at the FUR sticker for this

If it's adjacent to the two colours on U, then it's the best case, l' U R D' R' U' l B'
If it's the same as one colour and opposite the other, then it's the mirror (either U then the mirror or U' then WV, or inverse sexy sledge if I want to orient edges)

Spoiler: If they're the same colour, I...

don't know these cases I know they're the inverse of the RUD commutator U cases, but I don't know which is which.

Thats similar to chris olson's cll recog method. Good guess. I used his videos more than the page, because he explained recognition. My secondary resources were algdb and lubixcube.com.

will make sure my timer starts and ends are with right hand for future videos.

 

[CheesecakeCuber]

Nice! Because you use your right hand, it looks like you solve SB sort of on U and 2 gen with LU?

 

[Artic]

lol....the most extreme laptop/table abuse I've ever seen. Roux just don't work for one handed.

yeahs, that's exactly how it is. the downside is that i have to regrip or do two moves if i want to use the m slice. the up side is that my first block is easier and i can utilize double flick on the relative U face.

what's so extreme about it? just like any other rouxer i would think.

looks normal to me. other than the questionable starts/stops

yeah, i'll make sure i don't do those for the next videos.

i'm doing M with pinky flick FD to BD. seems to work a lot better than the conventional index pull from BU to FU. what do you think?

to be honest, I am very impressed with that turn style. Very cool.

Oh, sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. Just observing that's all. But it does seem a bit awkward. To be fair, I'm on the side of eliminating use of the table altogether. Doesn't make sense(to me) to allow it. But your solves are definitely fast and legit.

If you want to remove table abuse, how can you think that his solves are legitimate?

 

[PenguinsDontFly]

Such smooth turning... me jelly of lse...

 

[supercavitation]

Yeah recognition of the last one is pretty hard to get used to.

That's one of two cases where I consistently COLL on 4x4 because I can recognize CMLL case as fast as I can recognize OCLL case.

yeah, i think lse is that part of OH solving that i'm most proud of.
