Megaminx Methods?

[WowIsThatA10x10]

How much should I practice to get sub 2 on megaminx?
I got sub 2.35 a few days ago and can get sub 2.30 every few solves....
Breakdown- cross/f2l : 50 secs
S2l: 2.00 minutes
LL: 2.30 minutes

Thanks for any help

I'm in a similar position to you, I'll be interested on an answer.

Breakdowns for sub 2 are something like:
F2L~45 sec.
S2L~35 sec.
LL~20 sec.

S2L only 35?!

Ok well I need to work on S2l then...
Any tips for block building style?

Breakdowns for sub 2 are something like:
F2L~45 sec.
S2L~35 sec.
LL~20 sec.

My F2L is around 35, S2L around 55 and LL around 15.

These were just my breakdowns at this stage. The way I got good lookahead is by turning ridiculously slow(like 1 TPS or less) for a few days until I could lookahead good enough and had a flow going. I broke 3 min., then 2:30 as I sped up tps. Now I average sub 1:30, and I only do about 3 tps most of the time. Edit: If you want to take away from LL time for more S2L time go ahead.

Yeah S2L should definitely take longer than F2L, it's significantly more pieces, F2L is 15 and S2L is 25.

As a 1;35 solver these are my cutoff's

30s F2L
40s S2L-1 face
25s L2F

 

[MennoniteCuber1]

It's easier for me to look ahead because more pieces are solved. My F2L is about 35-40 sec..

I currently have a shengshou megaminx. Should I get a Dayan or Yj?

What s2l method do you recommend/use .... Simons's?:confused:

Mod the Shengshou, or try to try both before deciding if you don't want to mod it.

Yu Da Hyun's is nicest for lookahead I find

 

[MennoniteCuber1]

I used to think I was using Simon's but about a month ago found out I was actually using Yu Da Hyun lol

Where can I find Yu Da-Hyun's S2L method?

Nick Rech has a video on it.

Practice. Learn some algs if you want, but mostly practice.
