Speedsolving Solution Competition!

x'
U' F' D r U2 R2 B2 U r2// 9/9 (2x2x3)
F R' F2 U' F// 5/14 EO/reduction to 2 gen
R' U' R U2 R' U R U' R' U2 R U2 R// 13/27 F2L
U2 R' U' R U' R' U2 R U R' U' R U' R' U2 R U// 17/34// 2GLL (2 sunes)

17+27=44 lol, but if you do U R' U' R2 after reduction to 2gen, and then solve the right block in an obvious way you can get a LL skip

Spoiler: answer

x'
U' F' D r U2 R2 B2 U r2
F R' F2 U' F
U R' U' R2
U2 R U' R' U2 R U' R2 U2 R U2 R' U' R

32 htm, even less than beginner's method

This is why i should spend longer playing around with phase 2
I think I might actually start to look at a set of cases for 2-gen redux after 2x2x3 because the movecounts seem to be quite low and relatively easy to force an LL skip

CFOP
z2 D L U L F' D L //Cross
y' R' F U' F' R //F2L-1
U' L' U L U2 R U R' //F2L-2
L2 U2 L U L' U (L2) //F2L-3
L U' L' Dw L' U2 L U2 L' (U L) //F2L-4
L' U R U' L U R' //LL (Lefty Niklas)

-Moves with brackets means they could be cancelled-

45 moves (41 with cancelations)
TPS = Very high

Quite a decent solution for me actually, especially last layer. I didn't actually do the solve speedsolving but I walked through with the scramble once.

 

[gateway cuber]

Wow, I could never find any good solutions for that one...
here's the week 2 scramble

B' L F2 D2 L' R' U2 L' R' F2 R' U R' F D2 U2 F' U' F'

Remember to vote on last week when you put in your solutions for this week

Week 2
ZZ
z2 B' U' L D' F' D //EOLine (6)
R U L U L2 U' R U' R' U R U' L' //Left Block (13)
R' U R2 U2 R U R U' R' U' R2 //Right Block (11)
U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R //COLL (8)
M2 U M2 U2 M2 U M2 //EPLL (7)
45 STM

Roux
y2 D U' B U' r' M F //Left Block (7)
U2 r' U R' U2 R M U2 M' R U2 r' U' R //Right Block (14)
U' F R' F' r U R U' r' //CMLL (9)
M2 U' M' U M' U' M2 U M2 U2 //LSE (10)
40 STM

LSE felt really nice on the last solve - managed to do EOLR and cancelled into the 4c case.
Voting @AlphaSheep for best Roux solve - liked the use of non-matching blocks.

Can we make the voting based on likes?

Ie I don't want to participate but I would like to vote.

ZZ:
S: B' L F2 D2 L' R' U2 L' R' F2 R' U R' F D2 U2 F' U' F'
inspect: y2
Eo-line: L' F' D' R' F' U F D (8/8)
1st Block: R' L2 U' L U' L U L2 U' L' (10/18)
2nd Block: U R' U R U R U2 R2 U' R' (10/28)
OLL: y' R U R' U R U2 R' (7/35)
PLL: U' Lw' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 R2 (10/45)

If liking doesn't count for voting, I vote for Chris Train for ZZ week 1

 

[mDiPalma]

is this one even a random state scramble?

"roux method"
y D2 L2 D' R' D B' L' D2 B' D // first block (10)
U2 L2 U L2 U' L' U L U L' U' L U' // second block (13)
[F' L F, R'] // CMLL (8)
// LSE skip
= 31 htm

x2 F' R' L' D F D' // EOLine (6/6)
L' U2 R U R2 // RB Block (5/11)
U' L R' U L2 R U' R' U2 L2 // L Block (10/21)
U2 R2 U R2 U R2 U2 R2 // RF Block (8/29)
U2 R U2 R' U' R U R' U' R U' R' U'// ZBLL (13/42)
42 HTM

Also found this 44 HTM solution, with an easier finish.

interesting idea we'll experiment with it next week...

yes, I got it from cstimer didn't even try it before i posted it... but LSE skip?!?!?!?!

 

[Loiloiloi]

According to the thread from: https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/threads/15-98-average-of-5-w-roux-l6e-skip.39358/ an LSE skip is about one in 20 something thousand. A CFOP LL skip is more likely.

i'm not sure i believe that statistic. every cfop solver gets an LSE skip every solve.

 

[shadowslice e]

i'm not sure i believe that statistic. every cfop solver gets an LSE skip every solve.

And a Roux solver gets an LL skip every single solve.

pretty bad honestly but best I could find on this one
56 moves
3 move cross
nice Cross-F2L 3
I vote FCM for cfop wk 1

Week 1 results:
Chris Tran ZZ
FCM cfop
Roux = Alpha Sheep

Week 3 Scramble:
R D B R' D' R F2 U' D2 R2 L2 F R2 F2 U2 F' L2 U2 B'
Good Luck

EDIT: this week votes will be counted by likes again, only vote once via liking a solution

"Roux" Method:

L' [U: R B' R'] [F2: R B R'] // what does this even mean?
U // lse
[B L':[U2, L B' L' B]] // cmll

= 30 htm after cancellations

I accidentally did LSE before CMLL... FAIL LOL

LOL wow
good thing your cmll alg didn't mess up your edges, your solves are REALLY lucky!
