[Video] Set of FAST rotationless F2L inserts

[teller]

UPDATE: 29, August, 2011

New video, 2nd case of three.

Again, the alternative is a cube rotation and pair construction--ouch! Intuitively, everything is wrong with this case, so here we go with the algorithmic move-count fix:

FR - r U' R' U R U r'

FL - R' F r U' r' F' R

BR - r' U R U' R' U' r

BL - l U' r' F r U l'

--------------------------------------

Cube is Lubix Ultimate ZhanChi from Ben and Donovan. It is a genuine step up from the base model--it glides evenly!

These are darn handy once you learn to recognize them, and low movecount! The alternative is a cube rotation and pair construction--ouch!

These take some time to incorporate into lookahead, but things like x' actually give you a free peek at the B layer.

While I just switched to ZZ, these are great.

Thank you, kind sir.

I am attracted to ZZ...I am attracted to block-building, but I suck at it. I'm so CFOP...

All the best cubers have a little Petrus in them.

 

[Julian]

Wow, great! It's amazing the limitations we CFOPers impose on ourselves
I might try to incorporate these into my solves.

 

[Away]

I like this.

 

[Andri Maulana]

wow, COOL !!

 

[Deleted member 12389]

Thanks

 

[pi.cubed]

Why have I never seen these before? They're cool! Pity there's not some more for different cases though.

 

[Godmil]

That's exactly what I've been looking for, thanks

 

[blah]

wtf that is *one* case >_>

 

[Sa967St]

Amazing! Learning to recognize them well enough to use them fluently in solves may be a bit difficult, but I'll try.

Anytime I have to work in something new like that, I'll use it exclusively in practice, even when it's NOT the most efficient thing to do. If it's a hammer, I make everything look like a nail. After a little bit of that, recognition is primed. And as Chester pointed out...it's really just one case. I didn't use the B reflections at first, if that helps.

Thanks, and good luck!

I like RwU'Rw'U2'RwURw' better than F' L' U2 L F.
I hadn't seen the last one turned that way. I'll add them to http://cubefreak.net/speed/f2ladvanced/v.html#vf with your name.

Yep...head on over to Macky's place...you can get lost for days in there, mining juicy cases.

It's amazing what you can find just playing around with the F2L.

Like: x U2 R2 U' R2 U'

That is very cool. What I like about these "5 movers" is that they're so short that they are inherently intuitive; they lead to block-building or at least considering something besides U as a working space. I chose the ones in this video in particular because the case is actually first-class for many--not obscure or random--if you've watched badmephisto's F2L tutorial, it's Case #3 with a bad rotation...something that any intermediate cuber will go "grrrr!!!" at every other solve.

 

[Tommy Dew]

NICE!^^

 

[Selkie]

Oh some more algorythms that have been "Teller'ised". I look forward to viewing the video when I get home from work

(M U' R' U2 R U R' U' r) is fun =3
