Is it worth learning an advanced skewb method?

 

[Zarxrax]

Any way to fix the loud scraping sound that some springs make when turning a layer? Certain sides of a cube make the scraping noise, while others don't. So there must be something I can alter to make sure they are all quiet.

Spray something on the hardware, (CRC, Jigaloo.) That might work.

Lube the core with something high viscosity. Or, someone suggested sanding off the ends of the spring that might be sticking out.

Depends if you want to be fast lol. Maybe you'll win skewb at CCFC unofficial =P

if you care about skewb, yes. I never solve it, so I'm good with the intuitive/1alg method and don't care to get any faster than 30 seconds. If I did, I'd learn something better.

Mf8-Square 1 (V2) or a Calvin Sq-1? Those are my only choices :/ I'm starting to learn square 1. I don't need a wqiuegdusniqidniandwiqdflying sq-1, just the right amount of speed and such.

Are the PLL-algorithmes of badmephisto his site good?

calvin no doubt

Not a chance, with my current skewb. I'm using a Lubix-ed QJ with the ugliest stickers you've ever seen.
Oh, and it pops every solve. Literally.

1) on a 3x3, can you affect the relative Corner Permutation while doing only R2, L2, and U moves?
2) if not, what's a quick way to change CP without affecting corner orientation (besides j+y perms)

sounds like more to improve on ZZ-rainbow or missing link ZZ-d?

yes

Most are, but I'd try to find better Ns and J(a), and maybe F and R(a) too.

Thanks!!
I will do it

What are the good edge flips for yau and for reduction? I've been using R U' R' F' U2 R' for both and I think it's bad.

As far as I know, most people use R U R' F R' F' R. It preserves the cross so it's fine for Yau.

R U' R' U F' U F

Learning to Roux.
I have a few ways of solving that for 2nd block, but either they're slow or they need rotations/awkward F turns. Idk if I'm doing it right.
How should I solve that case?

I'm no roux solver, but I'd use R U R' M U2 M' r U r'.

Probably (definitely) not ideal though.

I use U' R' U R' F R F', if taht's what you're asking for. Your alg is not very clear m'afraid.

more ideal than my rotation i guess, lol.
i actually played around on cubesolver and found what i was looking for, 7 STM, same as the set up. and no regular M turns.
(U') R U' M' U' M2 U' R'
so i guess that answers my question. thanks for your help anyway
