PB average while racing with Brandon and Ryan this weekend in the bay area (visiting there):

11.25, 10.26, 10.26, (9.22), (13.07) = 10.92 ao5. First sub 11!

Don't have the scrambles since they were on Ryan's phone, but pretty cool to get a PB while racing.
All I remember about the 9.22 was an EO skip.

nice job, looks like you're good under pressure. guess the next question is, who won?

Usually I'm not good under pressure haha (like in comp). But here I was pretty relaxed (not to mention very sleep deprived). We weren't keeping a tally of who won most, but I think I probably did (close between us Ryans), while Brandon doesn't really practice 3x3.

Added CMLL cases to http://algdb.net/

Please feel free to add your own algs. Also let me know if the image is appropriate for recognition.

Cool, thanks!

I'll upload my algorithms soon.

will do. thanks.

Added in my algs that were different from the ones listed. I should look into some of the algs posted, as many might be better.

finish posting the rest of mine. should we import all those algs they have in the coll part of the database.

That's a good idea.

If it works you might as well.

what ever happened to this link from 5bld and panda cuber's tutorial, can't get on it but i remember it has lots of algs and their respective eo influence. rouxdatabase.webs.com/cmll

I'm having trouble executing the roux E2 M' E2 M lse case quickly. What is the best finger trick to use for it?

Don't you use an MU version for dots? Or have you switched?

i still do the MU version but it is almost certain that people can achieve better times with the E version, so that's what i recommend.

Well, I better practice E2 M E2 :/
Haven't used it in a long time. I mostly just do U2 M2 U2 then solve from there (of course, I try to avoid it if I can). I can get decent times for E2 M E2 when I practice it, but in solves I find it hard to maintain fluidity.

same here. i find it hard to imagine how people can do it so fast.

Hey GuRoux, will you ever teach the "famed" Lau recognition method that goes with your BU prediction method, because sometimes the L6E will make or break my solves and usually the 3 cycle makes me spend precious seconds trying to figure out what case it is.
Much appreciated.

This is late, but I found the scramble for my first official sub-10 (two weeks ago at Rice University 2014):

9.93
R2 D R B2 L' B L' B D' R D2 R' B2 R' F2 D2 R2 B2 R U2

y2 z' M2 Rw B' // LB Square
R2 U' R' Rw' F // LF Pair
U' Rw' U2 R' U R // RB Square
U' M U M' Rw U Rw' // RF Pair
U F Lw' U' L U R U' Rw' // CMLL
U M' U' M' // EO
U M2 // UR+UL
U M' U2 M // EP

Great moment at the comp!
