Some different solving - R and U turns only!

[DAE_JA_VOO]

I always had a cross oriented on top, and so I just used at most 2 sunes (including reverse, double, and the bruno) to finish the oll, and I always had an edge permutation, which can always be solved with r and u turns

Whoa, are you serious? I had 5 G-perms and all OLLs with zero edges oriented. Luuuuuuckyyyy!

not lucky, its my method i use to solve the two f2l slots

haha, what method is that... R and U moves only?

yes, of course

Please do that. I'd love to see it

I'll make a video of me doing an average and I'll put it on youtube

Let's get some more scrambles. Thanks qqwref for the scrambler!

what does 2-gen mean? and howcome all you guys get faster times solving with only R and U?

Have you tried it? It's rather quite easy...

@SparkZero

When you scramble using Only <R,U> turns, then all of the edges stay oriented, no matter what. And once you orient the corners, they are all in the correct permutation, no matter what.

Save yourself the humiliation...
With 2 Gen scrambles, you will ALWAYS have edges oriented and corners permuted. He was making fun of you btw, if you didn't catch that.

The subset of the cube with only 2 adjacent layers scrambled.
The reason it's faster? You start with a 2x2x3 block, and the the solve only requires two faces, so very fingertricked.

wtvr there are some noobs out there who I've encountered (not that any of you are) that seriously would make a statement like that...

anyway, the video is processing right now, and is almost done

Epicwinx9001

I'd like to see this video

 

[Ellis]

awww, I though you were going to make a tutorial. I can't stop getting G-perms and bad OLLs.

 

[Ellis]

awww, I though you were going to make a tutorial. I can't stop getting G-perms and bad OLLs.

wow you're cool

So can I take that as you've finally realized? Not if I'm cool or not, that's irrelevant.

 

[DAE_JA_VOO]

awww, I though you were going to make a tutorial. I can't stop getting G-perms and bad OLLs.

I don't understand. How do you get G perms on 2 Gen scrambles? :confused:

 

[soccerking813]

Are you being serious Dae Ja Voo? \

He was joking that whol etime.

soccerking is right.
But maybe you don't use 2-Gen OLLs?
@SparkZero - I think he was being serious.

 

[Dene]

Stopping the timer with your wrists is a DNF.

 

[Ellis]

yes I realized this a while ago

Can you point out where? I missed it. I'm looking at this, and you still seemed to have missed it here:

wtvr there are some noobs out there who I've encountered (not that any of you are) that seriously would make a statement like that...

Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. I tried really hard to give you hints.

@SparkZero - I think he was being serious.

yeah right I make a small mistake and you all decide to join in on it. I thought cubing was a friendly community, but I guess not.

No, Daejavoo was being serious.

Wow.... deleted all your posts in the thread? Way to run away from your mistakes.

Avg of 12:
Average: 6.29
Standard Deviation: 0.55
Best Time: 4.65
Worst Time: 7.13

So not as good as i said, but oh well, these have been my first 12 solves for about 8 hours, which is a really long time for me not to solve

 

[SparkZer00]

Wow.... deleted all your posts in the thread? Way to run away from your mistakes.

Nope, I just figured that it got too off topic, and I made that video because I thought that there seriously was some way that someone could have had a slower method to this, but I was wrong. The extraneous posts made the thread longer and I was quite offensive to everyone who was pointing out my mistakes, thus, the post deletion

No, you weren't being offensive to anyone. And I don't think it was off topic as long as we we're talking about 2-gen RU scrambling/solving.

I was offending all of you who were pointing out my mistake, you've been making repetitive posts about that mistake, and not one comment was made about the actual content of my video.

 

[blah]

So were you offending or being offended?

 

[Ellis]

I'm pretty sure no one was offended, except maybe Lord Voldemort (or you?). Oh well, I'm done with this now. If you thought it was getting off topic before, then it definitely is now. Time for some RU solves, these are fun, and I don't ever practice them.

Huh? What did I say? This whole exchange was rather amusing
anyway, on topic, from the scrambles on the first post:
7.05, 8.21, 12.5, I dropped the cube lol.
