How to perform M, please?
I use my right index finger forward on top of the cube, but I don't like it.

How do I get slowhack for the official timer equipment? I know Faz has it xD

is the DaYan LingYun a prototype or not? im pretty sure thats what camcuber said in his video on the lingyun.

 

[Cyrus C.]

can anyone post some scrambles for OLL and PLL only ?

No timer, but you can just use qq or something.

When he recorded the video the LingYun was still in the development phase and his was a prototype. but know they are out of the development phase and into the production and distribution phase

Right ring finger pushing up on DB.

just finished learning new PLL algs to try and get them all sub-2

which are the hardest to get sub 2?

and my E alg is [F] (U2 R2 F) (U R U' R')x3 (F' R2 U2)
and my fastest is 3.1

any faster algs for E?
R and R'?
and Y?

R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R U' R' D' for E

how is LL done so fast? i see people average sub4 LL

6 second average. my breakdown
2 seconds OLL (it really depends, fast OLL is a second, slow is 3)
recognition for PLL 1 second or a tad more
PLL, sub2 unless it's a nub case (Y takes me 2.4, dunno why <_<. N takes me sub4, uh...that's about it)

for E try x' (R U' R') D (R U R') D' (R U R') D (R U' R') D' , some people here can do that in under 1 second. I can't lolz. You could also try

(R2' U R') y (R U' R' U)x3 y' (R U' R2') i can do that in like 2 or so.

for R use

(R' U2 R U2) (R' F) (R U R' U') (R' F' R2 U') i do the F' in the last trigger with my thumb pushing up from DFR

for the "bad" R I use

(R U' R' U' R U R) D (R' U' R) D' (R' U2 R') or sometimes the mirrors and reflections of the previous R alg, like (R U2 R' U2) (R B') (R' U' R U) (R B) (R2' U)

I use the straight up 2 OLL Y perm (F R U' R' U' ...) and can get it in about 1.7, practice..... It's a hard one to sub 2. The only algs I can never sub2 are Ns.

Turn faster and lookahead to PLL I guess

those are the Rs i use lol and love the second E its beastly.

guess i need to do them a couple hundred more times to Sub-2. lol

thanx

is sub-2 possible on all OLLs?

im learning them right now, and want to see if i need to improve some of them or not.

do all the pro cubers or anyone warms up before starting to measure their time on timer ?

I wouldn't consider myself a pro, but I soak my hands in warm water, then practice some basic fingertricks before I time myself. It works quite well.

 

[ahmedkl]

lol you are pro for me 11.34 PB is just dream for me atm

that's pretty nice actually. i normally take a long shower with hot water to warmup

or i just do random turning with the cube to warm my hands up
