Average of 5: 18.07 with Commentary

[Egghead117]

whats commentary???

[sportstackingwiz1]

What was the pll you needed a new algorithm for

[thecuberofx]

I love your finger tricks.

[Djsora555]

you are awesome it looks so slow and it sub 20?

[mynameisdarthtater]

Ok. New E perm. Much fingertrickier.

z U2 R2 F (R U R' U') x3 F' R2 U2.

For some reason this is the only pll I can't do without lining up.

[cityzach]

on the end of the 4th solve did u get a y perm?

[hhhkingofkings888]

@cityzach ya he got 1

[swade347]

Just to clear it up, he's using a DIY type A in this vid. A lot of people ask this question.

[jaysammey777]

Eperm is what I think you were talking about:

Horizontal- R2 U R' U' y (R U R' U')*2 R U R' y' R U' R2 2gen mostly

[mynameisdarthtater]

heres the E perm i use: x U R U' L U R U' r2 U' R U L U' R' U

i like it because it doesnt have any Ds

[ElderKingpin]

why are you using the speed stacker timer instead of using the timer in cubemania? does it help to practice what competition uses?

[raymondhfeng]

it looks tlike your barely using any force turning the cube.

[Thrawst]

basically, too much tension on the cube can be dangerous.

[Antall18]

what do u mean by starting the timer wrong

are ur fingers only suppose to be on the timer?

[Thrawst]

WCA regulations state that the fingers have to start the timer. But I'm ignoring them.

[Antall18]

ohhhhhh!!!!!! okay

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

I've gotten a PB of 1.11 with this E-perm alg. It requires doing a backwards ring finger push for both D'. Fastest E-perm alg I've run into yet.

x' R U R D R U R D R U R D R U R D

I guess you could replace [x' R] with [Lw]. It's all the same. I guarantee, this alg, with about 5-6 minutes practice with fitting in the backwards ring finger push D' and everything, this alg is WICKED fast.

(16 moves in 1.11 sec is fast...)

[brainteaser37]

i love your fingertricks XD

[ILCAC3]

his fingertricks and cubes are so smooth :)

[Skateboardingcuber]

Another algorithm for that PLL

its probably not better but it is a different alg

x' R U' R' D R U R' Uw2 R' U R D R' U' R

[Unluckyhuh96]

what program was that at the end. please reply

[Cyrokube]

Cube Mania

[HATEBREEDv7]

What kind of cube is that ?

[Snorney]

I like the commentary. Makes the video go by faster.

[brainteaser37]

no it's the e perm

[skatermusicians]

nice macbook pro

[mousy2294]

From the position that you're holding it when you start your E perm, I just do y (or y'), x' then R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R U' R' D'

[apesoup]

which pll do you hate? I can't really tell which it is

[cubeninjaIV]

thats an E perm

[uNamed2lyfe]

man i really wanna be tht fast...currently i avg 23 seconds....im still learning olls and I NEED SERIOUS HELP with the cross...im still doing it on the top rather than the bottom. although i hv started bottom....i just suck at it...

any1 help?

[Tortak39]

Keep trying it on bottom and check out badmephisto vids

[uNamed2lyfe]

thnks for the reply.

yeh im trying and i've watched his videos many times...im thinking of watching them again....

[cubeninjaIV]

2:55 bleh i hate it too

[c1829]

is that the type a of the 25th annaversary

[rubikmovies]

witch programme do you use???

[kaimanathemetalhead]

OMG

I remember when you got sub 22, now your

sub18 WTF

[Vrumanuk]

Assuming that was an E (it looked like it), I use: R2 U R' U' y (R U R' U')*2 R U R' F U' F2

With the corners that need to be swapped on the F and B faces.

I also really like this one (I think it's Erik's): y x R U' R' D R U R' u2 R' U R D R' U' R

[experthowto]

I'm lucky to get sub20. I'm just sub30.

lol

[InfiniVoid]

Zune FTW!

[Puzzlaholic]

You have a Zune O_O?

[Thrawst]

i don't care for iTunes and the ipod interface.

[Yudai85]

it looks so easy when you solve it but I cant get sub 30's. btw do you know a good tutorial for one look PLL???

[RAZ0R1101]

for normall pll you dont use a tutorial you use a algorithm sheet. go to badmephisto(.)com he has easy to follow sheets for f2l pll oll and 2-look oll and pll

[Yudai85]

thx for answering my question. The reason why I asked was because I don't know how I have to turn the whole cube when the algorithm says x, x', y and y'. I thought a vidieo would clear this up for me.

[RAZ0R1101]

when you look at the picture of the situation on the algorithm sheet, the way it is shown is the way you hold it so there is no need fr cube rotations

[o0JayBC0o]

I miss seeing your vids up

[Square1Boy]

no css anymore? (mac)

[concretecubes]

ooh when i did the first scramble i got sub 20 :)

[zachtheamaster]

lol title sayus avg of 18.o4 but comp says 10.07.....  liar

[Engberg91]

18.07

[iggy590]

Uhg. Throwing that beautiful kind of cube =.=

It's been a while to see you solve a 3x3 cube again~

[tapio2003]

What program did you use to mark you times and compare them

[lee0sensei]

haha thrawst, haven't seen u for a long time.

Nice avg. ;)

It's quite strange to see a Macbook near a Zune :P

[csharsha]

the average on cubemania is 18.07, but it's 18.04 in the title. Just for the notice.

[fazrulz1]

Colour neutral for the win brother.

[CuberChris]

you get sub 20 so effortlessly

[Lmap16]

haha at the end "splashy and spraypainty, woah" :P and this was posted on my birthday! nice solves thrawst

[M1KE9815]

Thrawst this is a really fast algorithem

x' R U' R' D R U R' 2Uw R' U R D R' U' R

[livetobox226]

thats the one i use

[BeasltyFry]

Lol my A perms are starting to get bettter but for a short period they were in the craper i just sucked at execution and right now my U's suck too =/

[F2L4Life]

Awesome!

[Posthumous9]

how is urs so smooth?

[agent866]

o myh effin god ! i want that cube so badly just seeing how it moves its heaven compared to mine my average is 32 secs

[lordapokalypse]

(R)U,R',U',L,U,R,U',Rw',F,R,F'­,Rw,U,R',U',Rw'

[laxlozer02]

zune FAIL

[thebackflipmaster]

what type of cube is that?

I'm looking for a good speedcube and I'd really like advice

[casualcuber]

Well broken in and lubed Rubik's 25th anniversary cube.....I think.

[mesaskater424]

it's a type a

[mesaskater424]

it's a type a

[flee135]

For the E perm, I use

(R2 U R' U') y (R U R' U') (R U R' U') (R U R' F) y' U' R2

I don't think it's THAT great, but you may like it better than the one you're currently using.

[Dragonfabl3Fr3ak]

lol my average of 1 is like a year lol

[Tok169]

How I recognise U perms is I locate the 1x1x3 block and AUF untils its on the B face. I then look at the R face, if is the edge that needs to be switched is NOT the opposite color, I know to do the Ua perm, if it IS the opposite, I do the Ub perm.

As for the E perm, I use x' R U' R' D R U R' u2 R' U R D R' U' R

[ilikechess1]

at 3:15 you say the last two solves brought the avg down instead of up lol nice solves though

[somethingcool00]

zune ftw

[iasimp1997]

zune sux big throbbing cok

[Greeneyeskater93]

u get rly good times but u dont move that fast, its weird,but good lol

nice vid

[qd11856]

i love the commentary

[ThisIsWEB]

*stops watching after first solve* :P

[putsy911]

what was the 5th solve pll?

[SquirrelNinja95]

what method do you use for this?

[ThisIsWEB]

Fridich

[wo0t7]

Commentary, yay!

[RubiksCuberMan]

Great Job Thrawst
