Scrambling Orientation?

[Lucas Garron]

I'm curious.

Let me be clear: I don't mean cross color. This is not about color neutrality while solving or something like that.
"Default color orientation" means different things to people, but for most people it will be the orientation that they use for BLD and/or scrambling. I realize people might be inconsistent with this, but I'm going to assume you have a most canonical personal color orientation, or just do it somewhat randomly for most uses (e.g. they've never had a need for a preference).

For a long while I did Yellow/Red for U/F, but I see the value in standardization for things like scrambling, so now I scramble White/Green as in the regs, and I teach people to use it (my roommate Brett uses it for BLD now).
So, my default orientation is still Y/R for everything but scrambling, then for scrambling I use W/G.

By the way, how about standardizing the order in which you tell your color orientation? I propose "U/F" like I used above.

I always scramble W/G for odd-numbered cubes. I usually stick to this for 4x4 and 6x6, but sometimes I'll just choose a random orientation. For 2x2 I just start wherever my last solve finished.

For BLD I'll use Orange/Yellow, although I don't generally BLD much.

I voted for the second option, but I wish I could take it back.

I actually scramble W/G as D/F, as I misread the regs a while back.

Lol I'm going to switch to W/G, U/F.

However, after I inspect the orientation is random.

3x3 scramble: B/whatever
BLD: B/W although I have DNFed all attempts
2x2: I'm CN so it doesn't really matter
4x4 and bigger: random
Square-1: There really is only two options, and the color scheme is quite different for everyone but I have G/W
Pyra: No clue what the regulation is for scrambling. I usually have green on bottom

I use W/B for everything except 2x2x2, mostly because that's how I used to do my EOLine and how I now do BLD. I just find it easier to stay consistent.

 

[Forte]

I figured I might as well get used to W/G so I do that for everything now.

 

[xXzaKerXx]

white top blue front, same as my BLD orientation.

 

[Fox]

On 3x3 always random.

 

[Inf3rn0]

For everything i used to do Yellow, Green for U/F.

Now i think im going to change to W/G. I might aswell its not that different.

 

[Dene]

I scramble W/G, as in the regs.
For bld I solve Y/O, as I learnt from Joel's tutorial and that is what he does (or did).

 

[Faz]

W/G for normal
W/R for bld (which I never do)

 

[ErikJ]

when I started doing FMc on dan's site a long time ago he always had the cubes scrambled with red front and yellow top. I started doing FMC before I ever really used computer scrambles on 3x3 so this is just kinda how I do it now.

 

[LarsN]

Scramble W/G

BLD solve Y/R, but still scramble for bld with W/G.

 

[StachuK1992]

Scramble: W/G
Solve: x2 into Y/B

 

[Mike Hughey]

I scramble white/green, I solve blue/red. Blue is opposite white, so I have a white cross.

 

[joey]

3x3: Blue/random
BLD and 2,4,5 etc: White/Green

 

[linkmaster03]

I always scramble with yellow/red on U/F, and I solve with yellow on U, because I do a white cross.

 

[Lord Voldemort]

I always scramble with W/G, but I BLD with anything that looks easiest in front and Yellow top.

 

[Muesli]

Most of the time, W/G. Unless I forget.

 

[Stefan]

W/G for scrambling.
Y/O for BLD.
