F2L Comparison.

DISCLAIMER: This thread is not noob-friendly. Any noob posts will be deleted.

So here how it goes.
- Everyone can join!
- Scramble, solve, sulat.
- No optimizations, think of it like a normal speed-kabado-solve.
- Do check your post about a hundred times.
- If you're too scared to join this thread. Good.
- If you wan't to ask how to improve your f2l, im so, slow help me pow pleaSeSe?!?!, then post your own solve so we can work things out.
- Bryan Manzana, I miss you!
- Please. Don`t delete this. Please?

This post will constantly be updated, ie. new scrambles, etc.

Scramble with White on Top and Green on Front.
Start solving whichever way you want. Just dont forget cube rotations.

Scramble:
R2 D2 B' F R' D' L2 F U2 F' B R2 B' F U R2 U F U D2 F U2 F U' D


BOY Scheme.

Ako 'tong nagsasabi ng less rotations, pero ako madami. Haha. Nakakabwisit yung mga pasok ng F2L ko. Iwas, iwas.

Please don't clutter this thread with questions and inane comments. Post your own UN-OPTIMIZED solves for the F2L ALONE. Thanks.

4:U d L' U' L

paano iooptimize yung nakasolve na yung corners?or kung nakasolve na yung edge?

Green Front White Up scramble. Here's my take.

z2-Yellow up Green front.

Cross= D' L' B2 D' B' F' R U R' F2

1. U L U' L' U F' U' F
2. F U F' R' U R'
3. L U' L' U B' U B
4. U2 L' U' L

If only all of my solves were like this. Hingger Dingger

Agosto: I like the third slot, Empty slot technique! Ganda ng solve walang rotations. 'd 'moves lang. lol.

z2 U' L U L F' y' L' u L' u

y' L U2 L' U y' L' U' L

U' R U R'

U2 R' U' R U2 L U L'

y2 U L' U L U2 y L U L'

sorry for all those rotations! haha!

i donno what "fluent execution" means. but if you mean the time you get after trying to master it, then i got 10.90. if not, then i got 16-18 secs haha.



And now, allow me to critique :


Hmm. I tried Ken's solve, and he has a very nice starting cross and the f2l cases are my favorites, i wouldn't have thought of that. although, what i would have done though is z2 y2 F u' F U l U' f' x for the last edge. and boy, it led me to a sweet f2l haha!

U L' U' L

U' R U' R' y U L' U L

U' R U' R'

R' U' R

only one rotation

of course, its kinda by accident

Jome's F2L is already good, i cant find anything better (at normal speed, i mean). but, i found a rather good execution for for the same moves in his cross.


z2 y' F R' y2 R u' l U f', which leads to the same first CE pair with no rotation

i optimized it for myself, a leftie, giving me L F' y' L u' L F u', also leading to the same first CE pair without rotation

of course, these are already optimizations for fingertricks. but, with practice, they can also be thought of during pre-inspection.

Bryan: Double layer turns, much? Lol.

Like the approach, but I think I can`t see that in pre-inspection that fast. Abt your solve, i wouldve done.

z2 U' L U L F' y' L' u L' u

U R U2 R2 U' R

U' L U L'

U' L U L' R U R'

U2 y' R U' R' U R U R'

one rotation!

I guess it`s not just optimized algs e. Iniisip ko yung concept ng F2L decision making shiznit. Para basta malabo pa yung idea ko. meh.

CROSS: z' l U L' e' y L' U

1. x' U' R U
2. x R2 U' R' U l2 U R U'
3. R' U' R' U l U R U'
4. z' R U R'

**I'm a left-crosser.....
length of execution: 14.77 seconds

@superken
you can optimize your {z2 y2} to x2 alone...just my observation.. peace!

@Iruel

Follow the scramble. White top, green front. Di ka nag-specify ng itsura ng cube sa solution. Kung yellow top, red front ka, i-specify mo. Di gagana ang solution mo sa setup namin. Thanks.

orange front yellow top solution

cross:

moves in between are preparation moves LOLx ^_^

ndi fluent kasi bleh sinasanay ko p left turns ko saka im trying to do F group moves s f2l para less cube rotations... kea bumagal ave ko ngaun T_T

hnd ko pa memorized lahat ng f2l algs

sorry din sa rotations

hehehe
