[18.81] FTO European Record Average (17.19 ER/WR9 Single) - Chichester January 2025
Переглядів 18816 годин тому
FTO: Dayan swapped springs On a couple of solves I had a judge who had never been to a comp before, and on solve 1, the other judge at the table ruled it was not a 2. If it had been a 2, and I still got the same times, the average would have been 19.48, so still sub20 and xER. Congrats to Ashwynn and Jake for 2nd and 3rd, and thanks to the organisers of Chichester for not only holding FTO but h...

Reconstructing actual speedsolves for walkthroughs is such a pain. tbh I think just going through the solve at 0.25x while pausing and explaining your ideas and mistakes is easier and potentially even more useful About the idea that you tried in this video, it's quite interesting, though I'm nor sure how much use it actually has, but maybe for slower people it will be something interesting and useful
@@igortarasow thanks for the feedback! If I can find my action camera I could film a few pov solves and try your idea of slowing down footage and talking about 🤔🤔🤔

Have you tried qiyi non-magnetic FTO? I have the diansheng, but mine is almost broken.
@@xxbatat4xx I haven't tried the non-magnetic QiYi, no. I can say that the magnetic QiYi is on about the same level as the Diansheng. I don't like either of them now that I've got the DaYan though. If you can save up for one, then the DaYan really is the best FTO and by a very very wide margin
the diansheng 2x2 FTO released today in cubezz

Quick announcement: Ben has released this year's FTO Community Survey which you can fill out here forms.gle/rAQ9dXvRJGvyhkix8
Relatable, always happen to me :////
What alg do you do at 9:54? I need to learn that stupid case
The TCP? It's the same one from Aedan's video a couple of years ago: T Uo U’ D (F’ U F) D’ Fo (F’ U F U’)
would you recommend the qiyi over the dayan i dont have any ftos rn and the dayan is a bit to steep of a price for my first for me so which one would u recommend for an absolute beginner?
@@ColorBlock11 hard to say I can't recommend the QiYi or the Diansheng for anyone who wants to speedsolve FTO because DaYan is so so much better. That being said if you want a decent FTO as a beginner, then either the Diansheng or QiYi is good enough. The Diansheng is smaller and smoother but the edges pop out a lot, it performs well but those explosions can be devastating. If you'd prefer stability and reliability at the cost of a slightly blockier puzzle then go for the QiYi. I have fast times with the DS and QiYi so they're still usable, they just hurt my hands and fail to perform at the same level as the DaYan
@@EddtheRexMan I’ll most likely get the Qiyi cuz it sounds like the ds has more downsides then the Qiyi
And most of the issues u were describing in the Qiyi can be fixed with setup
@@ColorBlock11 you'd want to Florian mid to reduce the catches, and the springs are very short so there's not a lot of room for tensions You could get by on the QiYi just fine as a beginner though
@@EddtheRexMan I've done spring mods before so I don't think that that is a problem and I wouldn't be able to do a florian mod. I'll get the qiyi one thx for the tips man rlly appreciate them
honestly dayan already made a diferent size version of their mega after the release, so it's definitely not out of question
@@igortarasow I hope so I hope so pleeeaaase DaYan 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I haven't bought it yet because I expect a mini sized one.
