This is the saddest thread post I'll ever make. Sadge
Since the OH event is and will forever be OH+table, this had me looking over OH algs documents and thinking about OH practice.
Firstly, I am going to present, likely the most obvious idea, and that is MES layer algs that are superior to RUF/RUD/etc algs in OH solving with table abuse.
Examples algs
- H perm: M2' U' M2' U2' M2' U' M2'
- Comm stuff like this OLL/ELL: R U' R' S' R U R' S
- Dot case: S' R U R' S U' R' F R F'
Next point: Use of the table for difficult moves.
I will force examples to make my meaning obvious. This may not be an optimal way to solve OH using table abuse but that doesn't matter. This example is just to show the potential effectiveness. Don't @ me, bro! Jk, bro...Jk.
Example scramble: R' L2 F U D' F' R' U L U2 D2 F2 D2 L2 F2 R2 U' B2 U' F2

- x' z - when you pick up, keep the cube very close to the table
- D R' - then do a x y' movement to the table. Dropping the cube to regrip the F/B face which should be Green/Blue
- Only tilt the cube 35-45° keeping the R/D edge of the cube on the table then, using table abuse stability, double flick U'u'
- Lift cube off table and do R2 with cube on the angle still then
- z rotate drop the cube the remaining angle and
- regrip doing another z rotation to angle, do an R2
- then complete the z and y rotation by drop rotating on the table
- then pick up and F2L
You should have an XCross, on the D layer, with XCross pair in BL slot.
- Xcross solution is: D R' x y' u' U' R2 z R2 z y
I just got bored so I don't want to add anything more to this. But yeah, it could be disgustingly advantageous to practice OH taking heavy advantage of table abuse.
You can:
- Decrease fumbling during rotations
- Aid awkward moves by stabilizing one's grip on the cube against the table.
- Use faster algs that would be impossible in legitimate OH solves sans object interference.
I submit to the community that the days of practicing hard, Antoine Cantin style, and being actually good along with having a respectable technique in OH solving, can't compete with table abuse OH because of the advantages one gets from table abuse.
