Hello Speedcubers!

I'm a Fridrich solver (AO5 = 32s) and I'd like to try a modificaton of this method.
Someone teach me his method (I'll name it «My friend's Method») which consist to split the F2L in 3 parts, but still do the Cross - OLL - PLL.

1-Place 3 corners in the right place
2-Place 3 edges with the remaining emplacement that has no corner placed (with R U' R' or F U' F')
3-Do one F2L case

His method is fine, but I'd like to know if there is more Fridrich Method Modifications, because I'd like to learn some and see which is the best for me.

Thanks!

I'm planning to go to Dixon Summer 2014, and I was going to take a look at the thread on here for the competition, but it turns out there isn't. Are people allowed to just make threads for upcoming competitions if there isn't one already? Or does that right go to the organizers?

No you can make one even if you aren't an organizer.

I guess the question then is, should I make one if I notice that a comp doesn't have a thread?

Your choice.

5 minutes is VERY slow for recognising PBL!
Seriously, just look for the swap (opposite or adjacent) on both layers. How hard can it be?




My own question: how many Algs for the Pi subset of ZBLL? What about H set?

Fixed

How can I get better at 3x3 OH? Is it better to do R moves with your ring finger or pinky?

Pinky. Asmallkitten's video on turning. theWestonian's video on getting faster.

Why is pinky faster?

 

[Bindedsa]

Why is pinky faster?

it is less awkward, ring finger may seems easier now, but once you build up the strength in your pinky it is much easier to transition between R and U moves. Some people have had success with ring finger, but for the most part pinky is faster.

It also feels much more stable because you're using your middle finger and ring finger to hold on to the back side of the cube.

Personally, ring finger turning makes F (or F' for left hand OH) with thumb much easier. Most F moves come immediately after an L move (R' for left hand), which means that my ring finger is already in the position to support the cube while I make the F move.

Hi, I've been out of the loop for a little while, and a lot of new cubes have come out that I don't know much about. Generally, what do people think about the Type C WitYou v2, and the three newest moyu 3x3s?
