[Blake]

just read a pretty good post on orb manipulation

I realized the other day that very advanced player probably approach the board in a similar way to solving a rubiks cube. It's been a while since I learned the simpler methods but the # of algorithms committed to muscle memory vs max solve time goes something like this. (5 - 2:30, 20ish - 30 sec, and hundreds to break the 20 second barrier). I fall near the 30 sec category (although 30 sec would be a very good solve for me)

The more algorithms a method uses the more specific most of them are. (More squares are displaced and then moved back while obtaining the desired result).

When you see a very good matcher do a bunch of stuff and the pause they are probably are figuring out which algorithm to use and then execute it using muscle memory. This would remove the requirement of thinking about how to actually get stuff to where you want it to be, which is how a rubiks cube can be solved very quickly very consistently. The chart above could be considered the next "level" of algorithms because a more complex result is obtained in a single algorithm. I do wonder how complex the algorithms which elite players know are. As seen by elite rubik's cube solvers the human brain can learn and almost instantly recall a fairly large number of them. At advanced levels a rubick's cube algorithm might require looking at one whole side and the connected faces for a total 21 faces considered. Fortunately the brain is pretty good at image processing

How much of the lower-level evo mats do you guys keep around? I've been holding onto all my dragon plants, dragon flowers, masks, pengdras, and metal dragons. Have about 30 each, and about 40 metal dragons and 20 gold dragons.

Do you guys just use that stuff for leveling and re-farm them when you actually need em? I'm up to 265 box slots and now that I'm cruising through the pengdra technicals I'm having to constantly expand. I've got about 100 actual monsters that I keep/level, and the rest are all evo mats.

when i was lvling i didn't have much space. probably like 100 slots at lvl 90. so i couldnt keep a lot of it. i wish i would of tho.

since i got space now (340 slots) i been stock piling all these dragons for evo'ed pengdras. as it sits now im at:

lowest dragons:
40 red
4 blue
50 green
23 yellow
9 dark

im currently out of dragon plants and pengdra but i will be farming them on thurs like a madman to lvl up my shit

[Fusa]

hey blake how goes the mad man farm!! (ps it is already thursday WAKE THE FUCK UP)
