What Method Do You Use For OH

[gogozerg]

and I like doing the same method for OH and 2H, since OH goes slower it makes me improve my look-ahead

Exactly.
But surprisingly, looking ahead in OH feels very different than in normal cubing. Different pace, different eye-hand synchronization, I don't know.

My best for now is 15s, 27.5s average, but I'll never be good at that kind of sports, whatever the method.

how do you do the M slices so fast...

 

[somerandomkidmike]

I use regular petrus for OH, but I build the 2x2x3 block by solving a 1x2x3 square, then getting the centers. This way it is more similar to how i do my 2h method (Waterman with a block building first layer)

 

[crabs!!!]

Petrus for both OH and 2h.

I use CROSS-F2L-VHF2L (ZB if I know the alg)-COLL (ZB if I know the alg)-EPLL, same as for 2H.

For 2H VH I use some slices to shorten the algs but for OH I use the longer face only algs, the worst cases are not funny but most of the rest are fast.

COLL is particulary good for OH, at least mine is because most of my algs are RUL optimised, just a few are slow.

EPLL, U and H are good but Z is a kill, it takes twice as long as the other two. For U I use all four 2-gens so I don't have to turn the cube before the alg (for 2H I use setup + M' U2 M but it is slow OH). A fast U-PLL is a must if you use COLL because it occures 2:3 times as the last step.

A wery nice choise for OH must be Petrus+COLL/ZB, I know Johannes uses that and his times are not bad, not at all

I use normal CFOP method.

There is no necessary to do spcial .

 

[Rama]

I just use the CFOP with simple edge control to flip at least 2 edges correct when there are none correct.

looking ahead in OH feels very different than in normal cubing. Different pace, different eye-hand synchronization, I don't know.

yeah, I still can relate that looking ahead on OH is different then when doing 2H.

I really need to switch a button when I start doing OH/2H after doing 2H/OH.

 

[hdskull]

I look ahead much much better while OH solving, just slow on PLL.

 

[Pedro]

I look ahead much much better while OH solving, just slow on PLL.

and OLL

 

[AvGalen]

I use keyhole for 2H F2L, but regular F2L for OH because the look-ahead for OH is much better and the moves are more fingertrick friendly

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

I use fridrich, one of the4 better things about solving with one hand is that you can go only to about 2 tps which helps look ahead (Nakaji turns 4 tps sometimes, so when he does OH he goes slower, and hence has better look ahead).

 

[Athefre]

I'm another of those that uses Roux for OH and doesn't have a problem. I use a different technique from the " rR' " or " index finger for L' and ring finger for R (I think Lars Petrus was the first to talk about that way of doing OH Slices) ". The way I do it is more of a "between the fingers".

I average 6 seconds in Step 4.

My OH times for the other steps are high because I haven't practiced much...

 

[moogra]

I use Fridrich, sadly with 2H algorithms and sometimes it is slow.

 

[Cerberus]

I use fridrich with 2h algos except for H and V perm. average is low 30s and sometimes below 30

 

[Tomarse]

At the UK open I saw Thom Barlow use Roux one handed, It looked painful, but he still managed good times, and during one 2h solve he just thought bah and solved the rest of it one handed I think I recorded it.
