Solves with Restrictions #1

Restriction(s) revealed at the end.
I'd definitely like to see other people try this restrictions, I'm sure someone can do it faster.

Scrambles:
1. F U2 R2 B2 L2 U2 F2 R F U R2 U' L F2 D2 B2 R2 D2 B2 U2 R D' L U R2
2. F R' D B' L D2 F U2 F' D R2 D2 L' F' R2 B R2 U2 L B' L2 D' L B2 R
3. B U2 F' U' F L D R2 D' L' F D L D F2 L2 D F' D' F' D L2 B' L B2
4. U L F2 U2 F L U2 R' D' F D2 R' B' U B D' B' U' L' B2 D' L2 U L2 B
5. F' U2 R' D R F U' F2 R2 F2 D2 F2 R F D' L2 B D2 L2 D' R' F2 D2 F D2

Yeah it's a hardware restriction this time around, the rest will be method restrictions.

In a competition situation would that first solve where you didn't completely solve it be considered legal? i'm not trying to question you expertise on cubing, but it's just a question.

[Thrawst]

@brasstrombone9 Yes, it's off by a turn so there's a +2 second penalty. Note the time 13.66 on the timer and then 15.66 at the end.

alternative quote: "it´s the cuber, not the cube, unless the cube sucks really, really bad"

[Thrawst]

@MrJa1l A poor craftsman blames his tools. A good craftsman with inferior tools will often produce better work than the an average craftsman with the best tools. There is this unfortunate mentality of "I'll be faster if I just get a better cube" when they can still get plenty faster with the cube they have. For people with times >20 rarely is the cube holding them back.

how often will these videos be?

[Thrawst]

@sportstackingwiz1 next couple of days, weeks, I have 4 more restrictions in mind before they get kinda silly.

Ok, I'm going to guess one restriction before you even get to the end. I'm going to guess that the type of cube was a restriction. It looks like an old crappy cube (maybe Rubik's brand or type A1).

what algorithm do you use? i'm trying to learn a new one

[CSmodder]

@Thrawst nvm

[CSmodder]

@Thrawst what cube used?

[MLGBIGPAPA]

By they way, I have the same cube (25th Anniversary) with silver stickers. I lubed it with silicon and it turns amazingly.

[MLGBIGPAPA]

You solve pretty fast

[MrFatalis123]

The cube sounds stiff.....and looks stiff

[cammobox]

nvm my earlier comment

[cammobox]

f2?

@marslugo Mine is sub 45, using 2 look OLL and PLL. Trying to get a under 20 average to, hopefully soon

[marslugo]

man your so good i wish i can solve mine that fast.. my fastest time is 27 seconds with a dayan zhanchi ..my goal is to get an average under 20 seconds ..any tips??..and how many algorithms do you think you have memorized?
