LMBI is the best method for FMC

Low Movecount Blockbuilding and Insertions

Ok so i know all the 2 look plls, along with the second A, boths Js, and Y. I just learned T, and if im not mistaken, there sure be another alg drastically similar to T right? What pll is this, and which pll should follow it?

 

[FinnGamer]

Well F is just R' U' F' T Perm U R'

If you meant PLL, then FinnGamer is right.

If you did mean OLL, there is:
R U R' U' R' F R F' (first half of T)
F R U' R' U' R U R' F' (second half of T)

lol, yes i actually meant pll. What PLL should follow F?

Doesn't matter. Just learn them.

Isn't Heise the best FMC method?

IDA* is the best for FMC

I'm looking for someone in Ontario (anywhere from Toronto to ottawa) who would be willing to make my 4x4 dayan mf8 faster.

1- where are you
2- what would you charge

Are a lot of top cubers CN? I am starting to recognise recognition a lot faster when doing bicolor neutral.

Not really, out of the top 20 averages I think only Feliks and Rowe are CN.

I downloaded this zip and simulated on my 2x2 virtual cube. I try first sequence of 72 moves and other and etc . The program didn't find solution. Did I miss understanding?
Answer in Pm.

What is the best 5x5x5 edgepairing method?

I personally look at CN cfop in the same way as I see Roux. They are both very good 'methods' in the right hands, but unless you really are acceptional, you will not see the full benefits. I would put money that 3 out of 4 people that have switched to roux would be faster if they stuck to Cfop, and the same goes for CN.

Yes, two thirds of world's '11 was CN

It depends on when they switch.

A large majority do care about speed, or are lying. Generally people who do not care about speed will not continue to cube long enough to want to change methods as they have already achieved their goal.

Or they may like the method. I switched because I loved the method, and later decided to stick because of speed. I had visions of being bored (although possibly fast) with CFOP. Come on, you gotta understand love...

Can you explain "Because of speed"? When I was switching Roux was still 'just another method' and iirc Petrus was considered better over it. Maybe it is. Idk.

And, it just so happens to use ~20%fewer moves on average and a significant portion of the solve is two gen.

Yup. Back when I joined the forum Roux wasn't considered seriously to be very fast. I didn't switch for speed but I liked the idea and that it was efficient. (and mooing looks cool)

 

[Speedmaster]

I switched yesterday,because I think I can be faster with Roux, CFOP average is nearly sub 10
