Some different solving - R and U turns only!

[shelley]

I like to do an F first, then scramble 2-gen. So you have to solve it with R U until the cube will be solved when you do an F' at the end.

I remember playing this game with some Japanese cubers at worlds.

Huh? What did I say?

You said that the edges will always be oriented and corners always correctly permuted when you get to the last layer. And he said something along the lines of "only noobs would say that". I didn't say you were offended, just maybe that you were, or at least the most likely to be offended by something he said.

 

[Dene]

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.

Stopping the timer with your wrists is a DNF.

I did the second set of 5 scrambles
7.27 (5.81) 6.97 7.64 (9.77) = 7.30
The 5.81 and the 9.77 were PLL skips >_>

 

[DavidWoner]

6.93, 6.06, 9.13, 5.40 (EPLL skip), 6.06 (forced OLL skip)

I like being able to see almost all of F2L from inspection.

Solving 2 gen is hardly a new idea... Some people average 5~

Really? Who?
Last time a thread on this topic came up around a year ago, I think Mitchell and Erik got the best times in around 6.5 seconds. I saw on Michael's UWR list that the best is barely sub-6.

I've been practicing this for aaages

I average about 5-6s.

I think flooom is pretty good at this too. It's really not hard, I would be better if I was used to doing F2L on bottom, since doing it on left and then z'y2 isn't worth it.

has anyone seen my video and have any tips as far as actual solving goes?

7.53, 4.02 (PLL skip), 10.63, 5.55, 4.78 = 5.95
I love this!

Did blockbuilding on some of them.

I think flooom is pretty good at this too.

Not as good as Jai. <_<

has anyone seen my video and have any tips as far as actual solving goes?

Seeing as how you deleted your posts, it's kinda hard to see your video. :x

Wow. I'm super amazed that a little something like "Petrus Step 4" hasn't come up yet.

On the scrambles in the link on the first page:

7.08
7.88
Ugh scramble 3 has an EJ pair already in it for a step 4a skip. Blarg I can't use it =\
10.30
10.59

apparently my ll is not that fast lol

Seconded.

 

[ChaosWZ]

first try on the first one - 9.09 seconds easy f2l oll skip and a 3 edge cycle pll

Corner permutation isn't part of Petrus until LL...

Not that bad, very interesting! but I have a doubt, can we make cube rotations (y or y')? Can I make U' ? Or only U3?
