Planning full cross, improving f2l efficiency and lookahead 😒🙄❌🤢🤮 Learning hundreds of algs to improve LS+LL by 0.2 seconds 🤑😍🤪🗣💯

@BrinaSun 5 ай бұрын

I know people are gonna flame me for saying that 0.2 seconds isn’t worth it but listen OLL and PLL is something you get every solve so you must optimize them as it makes a big difference. EO > ZB takes way more work and gives minimal results, if at all

I learned the Canadian version called ZED B L L. Your last layer you peel the stickers and restick them with maple syrup while standing in front of a moose for motivation. The biggest mistake is most people make is they don’t stand in front of the moose and without that you really aren’t going to be that fast.

I started doing eo to zbll in some of my solves(for T and U zbll) Within like 2 weeks my solves with it started improving. I also had a chance to use it in comp recently and without predicting the zbll(did R' U' F' U F R) I got a 6.4, you just need to experiment with it and see when it's worth it.

@kinkajou5036 5 ай бұрын

do you think once you get sub 7 with fast LL execution times and good look ahead for f2l, you should learn zbls first? Like do you think once you're at the plateau you mentioned zbls is a more important foundation than zbll?

@Mmmm1ch43l 5 ай бұрын

no, there is no point in learning zbls if you don't know zbll already

@BrinaSun 5 ай бұрын

No, I said that ZBLS to ZBLL makes a bigger difference than EO to ZB you have to learn ZBLL first and then do ZBLS

@MaximilianBerkmann Ай бұрын

Its better if you start with VHLS first (it's basically 2 sets of ZBLS) and see how you can take advantage of those sets and your F2L knowledge to solve other ZBLS intuitively (of course some cases may end up subpar intuitive algs but at least you build up on that).

@MaximilianBerkmann Ай бұрын

@BrinaSun IME, learning ZBLLs first (aside from the easy ones you get from COLL algs) isn't worth it until you know full VHLS. I definitely agree that EO to ZB (or at least the way I see it and understood from the video being OELL to ZBLL) isn't worth it and intuitive ZBLS aren't always as fast or as efficient as doing the F2L normally then OLL+PLL.

@CuberCaiden 5 ай бұрын

Sometimes I do EO to zb to force 2 gll algs, and not diag pll’s. It’s definitely worth it for me, as I know full zbll, and I know a bunch of cases where it’s basically 1lll because you can predict, and sometimes can cancel into it. Just my opinion though On another thought, Bofan Uses EO to zb, and is super successful with it, getting sub 6 averages, and his zb recognition is almost instant.

Do you think full ZBLS is worth it? Will there be certain really bad cases/sets where it’s not worth using? Should/do you have to learn ZBLS for extra/all slots, or get good at resolving the skill issue of ending on a less favourable slot? How do you feel about 1LLL (disregarding time to learn)? How do you feel about different ZBLL recog systems?

@catchgoogle 5 ай бұрын

I think the idea of zbll being slowed more than pll in realistic solving environments is a bit misguided. wouldnt pll being more practiced be a counter argument since the fastest execution of a pll could be like twice as fast as an execution in the 30th percentile, while for zbll the algorithm is (yes) probably slower, but the time variance is spread throughout a smaller deviation (since the alg hasnt been practiced enough to have a 0.7 fastest execution, but you can consistently get a bunch of 1.1 or 1.2 executions consistently) other than that, good video. thanks for addressing the critiques 🙂

Bro is overthinking it Sure PLL isn’t always going to be in the 30th percentile for execution speed, but it’s always going to more reliable and still faster

OLL -> PLL is the BACKBONE. Only for bad OLLs (that don’t have good CP influencing alternative OLL algs) would you even consider EO -> ZBLL. So you’re doing OLL -> PLL at least 80% of the time. Might as well make those 80% of your solves GOOD rather than the other 20% good 🙂.
