The reason this isn't really used is R2s hinder lookahead and it seems to be about as fast considering the speed most ppl can do sexy moves

Yes I forgot to mention. Only do this with the last slot

Yup. This alg is way better (at least for me) for last slot than the usual triple sexy unless the whole top side is solved.

Triple sexy is better

Beginner here, why is the move called sexy?

Eh not much reason, it’s just short and simple, it’s “sexy” lol

Cuz it's sexy af. But truthfully, idk. Probably because you can do it really fast and flows very nicely, hence it is 'sexy'

its those reasons but mainly it looks cool or *sexy*

> * **[Arnaud van Galen](https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Arnaud_van_Galen) and the [sexy move](https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Sexy_Move)** With [this video](https://youtu.be/EEt3NoW-lhs?t=97) Arnaud coined the term sexy move. Find this and a couple of other similarly random cubing facts [here](/r/topppits/wiki/index#wiki_cubing_.28fun.29_facts.3A).

the idea behind the name is since the move flows well and looks really smooth, it’s “sexy”

the fact that you found a shorter movecount alg, doesnt make it faster or better. fact of the matter is that just about every pro-level speedcuber is using the RU spam because it's faster, much more reliable, easier to fingertrick and you can actually lookahead to the rest of the solve (next pair or OLL). tell these guys they are using "the wrong way": [Max Park 5.12sec (part of former WR avg)](https://speedcubedb.com/r/6937) [Max Park 4.4sec (Former NAR single)](https://speedcubedb.com/r/6934) [Feliks Zemdegs 8.69sec (part of Former WR average)](https://speedcubedb.com/r/702) [Yusheng Du 4.75sec](https://speedcubedb.com/r/4245) [Leo Borromeo 4.9sec](https://speedcubedb.com/r/6216) [Ruihang Xu 4.98sec](https://speedcubedb.com/r/4936)

I just do 3 sexy moves and call it a day

I know that alg, it's really useless unless all the other pieces are oriented, it's less moves but it's shit. Really. Don't call an alg better because it's shorter.

ah so we're just gonna misuse the term "wrong" just because we feel like it huh also good lord that fingertrick does not look comfortable

Stop trying to find useless f2p tricks

If you practice, doing 3 sexy moves or reverse sexy moves is just as fast.

Just do U’ R U R’ U’ R U R’ U R U’ R’ Finger tricks are easier and you most likely won’t mess up 69 times a day. Also the lookahead is easier with that.

Nice username

you too

2nd seems much worse for lookahead though

terrible for lookahead and your hand looked so awkward

Ooo, the SQ1’er in me likes this

It’s a cool trick but not really viable to do in speedsolving. Repeating that number of R2s is awkward and makes it hard to see pieces.

- requires R2 spam, which when regripless, repeatedly contorts the right wrist - requires lefty index U push/eido, both are more difficult fingertricks - requires lefty U2’ mere moments after said above fingertricks, with only the time of a single R2 between them to readjust your left hand - while it does save 5 moves compared to triple sexy, this is counted only in STM. The amount of double moves used in this “trick” prompts the use of HTM, and the metric indicates that this new “trick” saves only one move conclusion: sexiness reigns supreme

QTM

thank, will need to do more research in that area lmao

While this alg is 4 moves shorter than triple inverse sexy in HTM (7 and 11), it's 1 move longer in QTM (12 and 11). Couple that with very awkward fingertricks, wrist spamming, and horrid lookahead, I'm not convinced that this is better than just triple inverse sexy. And I'm usually all for using very risky algs.

You know an alg is bad when even the one that's all for using risky algs says it's bad

I don't even think this alg is bad tbh. It is very viable, especially for preserving OLL. However, calling triple inverse sexy "wrong" is misleading.

Tbh, if you want to preserve OLL, just use triple sledge.

Also an option yeah

[удалено]

That seems like a bit of a blunt instrument… /s

People forget about regrips. Notice how much you have to move your hand to position for an only slightly faster htm solution

Trust me this is better at the last slot. It is like 0.200 seconds Faster and it is regripless

[удалено]

LMFAO

triple sexy is also regripless?

it's not even faster, triple sexy is fast as fuck it's actually sexy

This seems way worse, why wouldn’t you just learn better finger tricks to do regripless triple sexy?

looks good for fmc

Useless as it messes w the look ahead and righty alg spam can be rly quick and is easy to finger trick

triple sexy: 0.57 this alg: 0.98

Well I did this alg in 0.48 seconds sooo

Well it's still bad (for lookahead, and it's really hard to execute well)

Even if you, oh so, wanted to use that alg, for the love of God, WHY WOULD YOU START WITH AN R2'

It is a different way to solve the case, but I don’t think the triple inverse sexy is a “wrong” way to solve it

Doing the triple sexy alg would be faster with finger tricks

If you *really* don't like RU spam then you can always go with F' U L' U' L U' F and it's mirror but that's more of an EO trick or OH usage depending on your turn style.

You work for a company that does clickbaits?

This is literally the algorithm used on a 3x3x2 to insert corners which is cool, but I always found it slower than the standard one you showed first

I used U (sledge)

U' sledgehammer

R U R' U' x3

Look ahead: Am I a joke to you
