Antoine Cantin is a [[Canadian]] speedcuber. He is most well known for his achievements in 3x3 [[OH]], although is known to be a good all-around cuber, holding the North American record for sum of single ranks. His cubing site is currently considered the best resource for OH algs.

== Former World Records ==
* 3x3 OH average: 12.56
* Skewb average: 4.54

Reconstruction

2014-08-18T03:38:46Z

Tchowcubes:

A '''reconstruction''' of a [[solve]] is an annotation of the exact moves performed by a [[cuber]] did during a solve. Reconstructions are commonly broken apart into the sub steps used by the cuber.

Some cubers known for doing many reconstructions are [[Lucas Garron]], [[Michael Gottlieb]], and [[Rob Stuart]].

== Example ==
A reconstruction of one of [[Feliks Zemdegs]]'s [[3x3x3]] World Record solves by Michael Gottlieb:
scramble: L2 R2 F R2 B2 L2 D2 F' D' L' F' U2 B U2 L F2 D' B L2
inspection: z' y
cross: r' D R U' D2 R D'
F2L1: U L U' L'
F2L2: U y' R U R'
F2L3: U' R' U' R U' R' U R
F2L4: y U' R' U R U R' U' R
OLL: U U2' R' F R U R' U' F' U R
PLL: U

Cross on left is a variation in the execution of the [[F2L]] step of [[CFOP]]. It is characterized by the initial placement of cross on the left face of a cube, where it remains for the entirety (or majority) of the F2L. Typically, a z' rotation is used before [[LL]] to move the cross to the bottom face (and the last layer to the top).

== Pros ==
* F2L can be reduced to the set <l, U, R> meaning no rotations are required
* Easier transition from cross on top

== Cons ==
* z' rotation takes a small amount of time (It is, however, possible to solve last slot in such a way that the rotation is included)
* Relatively few users implies fewer resources

== Neutral ==
* Transitions well with M slice pairing on [[big cubes]] with the [[Yau method]]
