Hey Daniel Lin, I know you have a misoriented centers 4c Prediction sheet, can you give me the link?
Also, any tips om recognizing cases with misoriented centers? if I use them it kills my 4b->4c prediction and so often I wont use even basic EOLR cases like the one thats just M, just because it kills my solve time.
 
Okay guys, So I have a question. When you are solving x2 and y color neutrality, what do you do if you get stuck? I mean like there are no obvious pairs, and you are in an official solve and you cannot find an easy block, what do you do? do you pick a default block? what do you do?


also, Shadowslice E I have a spare set of stickers, PM me your address through facebook(Im John Lewis) and I'll see if I can ship them to you. I literally will never use them, they were spare stickers for my old main which I never use anymore, and the stickers are pretty durable, so I probably never will use them.

EDIT: nice channel, if you make more content thatll be cool! I subbed.

I just go with whatever as I can usually see a pair but it's not always easy or efficient as you see in the video.

Nah it's fine I might get some new ones quite soon but it's just too much effort to resticker.

Thanks! :) I might make some but there's no real guarantee that I'll upload at all regularly.

There is almost always a 2-3 move pair. With x2 y colour neutrality you can use every pair to form a square so I look for the easiest pair and an edge to form my square, sadly I can't plan my whole FB so I don't know the thought process for those who can.

cry and spend more time on cubegrass
 
Rouxers, I just have an L10P question:
so given this scramble for L10P(added some moves at the end for setup to the case):
R' B L U' F' L' U B' R' U' R2 F2 L2 D2 L2 F2 U' M2 U M U M'
In this case, where I have the sexysledge alg(or in this instance, mirrored sexysledge), and 2 bad edges where one bad edge in the top in one of the spots the sexysledge alg flips(UF& UB), and the other in the D layer, then I often will try to force a 4flip by spending 3 extra moves before I do the alg. So for the scramble I would do this:
M2 U M2//setup to force 4flip
(L' U' L U)(L F' L' F)//lefty Sexy-sledge alg
and then do LSE.
My question is, is this a good thing to do, like is it efficient? or should I break my habit of doing this?

I wouldn't bother. Either do a different CMLLEO, or EOLR.

E: in this particular example, forcing a 4-flip is five moves longer than the EOLR solution. Not that this says anything about what happens in general, of course.

Wow I'm surprised you still use ss. I think the PDF is deleted, but the google doc should be on my website. The problem with PDFs is that they cannot be edited, which sucks when I want to add/change algs.

I've still got a PDF bookmarked, is this not the most up-to-date version?
But yeah, I don't like PDFs of alg sets for the same reason.
 
If I were to post a video of some bad cases in second block would you guys respond with ways that you solve them? I'm just barely sub 20 and a lot of my solutions are cfopy so I would love to see what you guys do!

Edit:
Or are there good videos that you could link me to? (:

E: That's for the last pair. For the first square, Gilles' site is great.
