Thanks guys..Any specific videos to recommend checking out to improve F2L? (I already know the basics..)

BadMephisto's F2L videos, and CrazyBadCuber's f2L videos.

no one ever does that

Huh? Aren't we supposed to submit cubes for scrambling at the start?

 

[Genesis]

Depends on how the organisers decide to do it
Usually, we only submit our cubes at the start of the event, but there's nothing stopping the organiser from wanting us to submit the cube at the start of them competition

Could someone give me a link to the CS timer download

 

[Carrot]

Would 23.43 3bld avg5 be UWR? or is wiki page outdated? (No it's not some polish guy, and it's definitely not me.)

Just ctrl+s while you are on the page...

When doing 3bld with M2 for the edges, I'm having a bit of trouble with the M-slice.
When the buffer position (FD) has an edge that's supposed to go to BD, you're supposed to do M U2 M U2. Now lets say the cubie in BD needs to go to UF. You're supposed to do U2 M' U2 M'. Obviously, that cancels out the moves that you just did to solve BD. What am I doing wrong, and how can I recognize this during a solve?

U2 M' U2 M' is FD->FU not FD->UF, also after doing the previous alg, the piece will need to go to DB instead of UF (because centres are M2 slice out)

What is the corresspoding software for other nxnxn cubes, like cube explorer is for 3x3x3?

doesn't exist publicly although there are a few 4x4 solvers but they can't optimally solve a random cube

 

[cubeaddicted]

What about 2x2x2 and other puzzles, like pyraminx and square 1?

2x2 yes just google

or ksolve

AoSu Popping

Hey, my aosu just popped like a weisu - the small internal piece came out.
Also, the center caps are popping as well. Is this normal for the aosu?

Mine pops all the damn time. I am a 1:40 4x4 solver at the moment, so it is probably partly an accuracy issue. But it shouldn't pop as much as it does. Maybe tension for you?

It happens on mine as well, so I guess it's normal
but then it rarely happens nowadays

Yeah, probably.

I just wanted to know if it happened to other people as well... so that's good.

Is the stickerless Zhanchi (55mm) really popping that much out of the box? Every video review i saw about it popped like crazy. Please tell me otherwise..

 

[Shah]

How do I properly tension an Moyu AoSu?

I tried searching this forum and YouTube, But didn't get anything.

Bumping!

Nope, in my experience the 55mm Zhanchi (or any Zhanchi really) doesn't really pop unless you don't know how to turn it. If it does pop out of the box then tighten it until you get used to it because it is a very fast cube. None of my 55mm Zhanchis pop at home but when I get nervous in competitions and don't turn as well, they do. But it's only happened twice Overall it's still a very good 3x3.
