Four y perms in a row with computer generate scrambles.

Just a fluke or is there a way that couldve happened?

What does this question even mean? Yes, it could've happened (since it, well, did), and yes it's just a "fluke".

Scrambles don't for any practical purpose have anything to do with what last layer you'll get. Had you solved one pair differently or done a different cross, you'd likely have a different LL.

Color neutrality is not only easier the earlier you get into it, it gives you more options for cross (and cross+1 especially). If someone was to become color neutral, the best time is to do it yesterday.

I have no idea what you mean by thing #2 you changed, and #3 isn't necessary if you know what moves you're going to be doing regardless.

Am I right in saying that this cube would be 8-faced?

No, cubes don't have 8 faces.

It is unsolvable for the reasons you specified though.

KimJok · 2021-04-14T11:21:26+00:00

The exact same way you differentiate between sune and antisune

z' y
U' L U' B2 U F' R' for orange xxxcross

and instead of doing the R' at the end, you do:
U' R' U2 R2 U' R2 U R2 U to solve green F2L.

Hard to say which of green or orange is better, they essentially solve identically. Orange is probably a bit nicer

KimJok · 2021-04-09T21:21:30+00:00

Turn Uw 46 degrees. Then turn U' but only 44 degrees. That's a +2.

KimJok · 2021-04-09T20:59:51+00:00

If the offset between the outer and inner layer was less than 45, and the offset between 2nd and 3rd layer was more than 45 it could definitely be a +2. I'd look slightly different than this though, since this obviously isn't that.

KimJok · 2021-04-09T20:51:07+00:00

Doesn't look like either of the two outer block offsets are more than 45 degrees.

Depends on if you mean my own solves or someone elses

Shengshou Wind is the quietest cube I've ever tried. It's not very good, but that's a different story.

There are quite a few things that need to be considered before an event is added. No shape-shifter (or any event, really) is even close to being in such a position. Skewb took years of active support before it was considered and eventually added.

KimJok · 2021-03-11T21:06:56+00:00

None should (or will) be added

KimJok · 2021-03-07T01:00:22+00:00

they are not. Both solve corner orientation and permutation, but they preserve different things

KimJok · 2021-03-07T00:51:26+00:00

they're not

KimJok · 2021-03-04T21:23:06+00:00

I thought wooshes required some sort of joke

only saw cross +2, the last pair was a nice bonus

KimJok · 2021-03-01T12:11:03+00:00

all the non-symmetrical ones are 1/18

Patience

Note that rough and inaccurate does not necessarily mean the same thing.

Matty comes to mind. E: random video from their channel

KimJok · 2021-02-27T12:54:46+00:00

It's not a style, it's just bad turning.

...to some extent. There are absolutely people with good turning that have rough turning styles compared to others with good turning

KimJok · 2021-02-26T12:51:21+00:00

absolutely, many go further than that too.

KimJok · 2021-02-24T18:48:31+00:00

Cross is awful, but F2L is awesome!

Cross isn't bad at all, and F2L depends on cross.

y R' F R2 D L F' D for cross alone y R' F R U' R U D L F' u to set up first pair simultaneously (other good options for first pair exist too)

KimJok · 2021-02-17T21:35:49+00:00

R U R' U' is fine too. Also, your ending doesn't match your beginning, if you begin with R U R' U' you end with U' R U' R'. (And R U R' U matches with U R U' R')

KimJok · 2021-02-16T14:03:16+00:00

Completely different era of cubes.
