WHY ARE BABY DUCKS SOOOOOO ADORABLEEEE

 

[freshcuber]

Just now decided to use KP KooPa. So thanks

I'm planning on doing A LOT of multi, but this will be for 4x4x4/5x5x5 BLD too if I can understand commutators for big cubes.

So should I make GG/QQ etc?

Well if you're serious about going for that multi record then yea go for it. There's no reason not to if you're going to do a lot of BLD.

CAN YOU GET THEM ON LIGHTAKE?! WAAAAAAAANT

Does anyone know of any tutorials for 3-cycles center commutators and 3-cycles edge commutators for 4x4 BLD?

What would be the best solution to this scramble?

R B2 D' L F' R2 F D' F R2 F' L2 U2 R2 L2 F2 D U' L2 D R F2 D F L2

I can see 2 F2L pairs and an x cross. How the hell do i use it?

Here's what I did:

Cross (White F, Red U): U2 x' R U R U' L' U2 B2 L

F2L 1: d U R U' R'
F2L 2: L' U L U' L' U2 L U' L' U L
F2L 3: d2 U R U' R U' y L' U L

OLL: U + FRU(RUF)' + Anti Sune (R' U' R U' R U2 R)
PLL: U2 + T PERM

I've tried solving the same scramble quite a few times, but i pretty much NEVER come to the same solution twice :|

I have no clue how my friend managed to get a 9.xx on this...

How to apply lubix to the core and pieces of a 4x4 xcube? I completely disassembled everything to clean/lube today and not sure how to lube the core. I looked on youtube for video for a 3x3 but not sure if it applies to a 4x4. Thanks

 

[waffle=ijm]

there's no friction between the core and the spring with the xcube 4...lubing the core won't do anything. rather you have to lube the pieces that actually spins

is the cubetwist brand square 1 that much worse than the mf8 one?

and how do you you this sheet for ss tricks? http://dtwoner.110mb.com/index.php?p=1_49_SS

It pops a lot more, but isn't as fast. On the whole, though, I think people prefer MF8 to CubeTwist, as do I, even though the CubeTwist has smoother turning.

 

[freshcuber]

I bought an mf8 because I heard the cubetwist pops a lot. I'll probably get it Wednesday or Thursday. I can pm you what I think about it if you want.

that would be great freshcuber. i was wondering because lightake has the cubetwist brand. another question: does mf8 make a sq 2

 

[cuberkid10]

MF8 does not make a square-2 as of now

 

[sa11297]

oh thanks, so only cubetwist does?

 

[sa11297]

how do i use this SS sheet???????? please help

 

[TiLiMayor]

Im still on my way to become full PLL with only Ns, V and F left to learn, an the way I solved these last two cases was just ineffective (setup + Tperm + undo):

V perm: R' U' R U' R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' U R U R' U R
F perm: R' U' F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' U R

The alg for the F perm flows really nice, but a t with that many set up moves for the V its really uncomfortable, and since my tps are not that high this alg comes really long and slow for me.

Any suggested algs for this cases? N perm suggestions?

Does anyone know of any tutorials for 3-cycles center commutators and 3-cycles edge commutators for 4x4 BLD?

He doesn't teach edge comms, but for centers (and everything else) Brian Yu has an awesome 4BLD tutorial on youtube. Starts here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Sm0kUxPAas. There's an intro, then parts 1-3 are on center comms, part 4 teaches r2 for edges, part 5 does Old Pochmann corners then part 6 just clarifies some stuff.

Does the MF8 + Dayan 4x4x4 usually rattle?
I got one today, disassembled it straight away, sanded the imperfections down on the inner core and rebuilt while lubing it.
It turns great right from the off but it has a slight rattle. Is this normal?
