  • In which I make a very well-reasoned argument as to why FMC is the best WCA event. It really is.
    Comment below: What's your favorite event, and why?
    Please LIKE the video if you enjoyed it!
    Me from a year ago thinks that one-handed is the best event, but he is wrong.

    In addition to being the best event, the last 3 mins of an FMC attempt when you are still on insertions is the most nerve wracking in the WCA

      but then again. impressing cubers is way better then non cubers

    Also, for FMC, you don't get nervous and your nerves disappear (unless you have 5 minutes left and you haven't written down anything yet and you're panicking).

    You memorize the 20 moves or less for all 43 quintillion scrambles.

  • @tcubed3219
    @tcubed3219 6 років тому +1

    I think 4x4 is the best event because it is a little less popular than 3x3 and. There is so much different time ranges and that even if you aren't fast, it doesn't take a long time to solve like 5x5 or 6x6

  • @russellwen1410

  • @Omega-el2nc

    Multi blind oh 6x6 is the best event, because there are no centers so you have to memorize color scheme, also double parity, and last edges take forever

  • @ThomasandCaspar
    @ThomasandCaspar 4 роки тому +1

    3x3 is the only event I do

  • @ethanjan3.14
    @ethanjan3.14 8 років тому +1

    I think 3x3 is the best event because it is the original rubiks cube. It fits almost everyone well, and OH is only for people with big hands. FMC is about sitting around and writing a solution and is not very honorable if you win. 2x2 is also a good event because of how quick it is.

    • @catlynya
      @catlynya 7 років тому +1

      Ahem........... in OH, you can use a mini cube!!!!!

    • @kenbrunet6120
      @kenbrunet6120 7 років тому

      Im hoping by your picture that you're actually young and that's why you replied the way you did. I don't think you understand what goes on in an FMC solve while you're sitting around writing a solution. What would you say is more honorable. Memorizing a bunch of algs that someone before you figured out were fast and efficient for you method? Or, Crafting your own algs all while layering in other crafted or known algs that mesh together and cancel out some of the moves? There is way more brain power required in the latter. Anyway, You should try it. Then you might see a lot more honor in FMC then 3x3. I know i do.

    • @groszak1
      @groszak1 7 років тому

      CFOP - Cross, First two layers, Orient last layer, Permute last layer
      COLL - Corners Of Last Layer (preserves last layer edge orientation)
      CLL - Corners Last Layer (ignores last layer edges)
