Suits it make sense to be colour neutral for star but always do same last layer?
Lol I did not even know you could be color neutral on clockI am CN for all of the events I do (2x2-5x5, mega, clock, skewb, pyra, OH) and I think that at an elite level it would be useful.
If you want to get colour neutral I would just suggest practicing. If you don't want to be CN you should probably make an order to do the other S2L faces
You can be between light and dark blue lolLol I did not even know you could be color neutral on clock
I guess, but don't you have to be color neutral anyway because you have to rotate the cube a few times during the solve? I don't really see what good being color neutral would do for you on clock.You can be between light and dark blue lol
Moral of the story-
Let's get rid of clock!
Yeah... But I get to criticize clock in my own threadHere we go again.... Can I suggest that Aerma's suggestion about method debates also applies to events?
I used to do this back when I actually bothered grinding megaminx. White and yellow for F2L and finishing with grey for last layer. Using two adjacent stars has slightly less of an advantage than using two non-adjacent stars (e.g. white and grey, or white and orange), but it still opens up way more useful starting options compared to fixed star. (Which is also a double-edged sword, because inspection lasts only 15 seconds.)Suits it make sense to be colour neutral for star but always do same last layer?
there are two walkthrough videos on my channel if you're curious about what I mean
Sorry for the double post, but this got overlooked. The odds are 1:720.Also, like 5 solves in I got a total pll skip. What are the odds of that on megaminx?
Same, except that I suck at megaminx lol.I'll do a kind of freefop thing and generally work with a lot of blocks. I'll always take advantage of a free pair--I've never really understood why you wouldn't especially on such a large puzzle.

Not to self-promote or anything, but I have a video talking about

I have probably done 50 mega solves this week so far, and I just got my second total PLL skip. Still pretty slow thoSorry for the double post, but this got overlooked. The odds are 1:720.
I average somewhere between 55-58 on mega (I haven't practiced in a while[so I would probably get like a 65s, but after maybe 150 solves, I would be back down to mid-high 50s]), and I average just about 11 flat on 3x3.What do you average on 3x3 and mega? What average can you get down to with basic LL and averaging 13-14 on 3x3 (I am sub 1:50ish on mega)
I'm not really sure who you were asking, so I'll answer as well. I average 37 on mega and barely sub-10 on 3x3. I think I'm a good example of the fact that you don't have to be fast at 3x3 to be fast at megaminx. Sure, sub-10 is pretty fast, but not compared to sub-40 on megaminx. I'm top 10 in the world for megaminx average and not even top 1000 for 3x3. Anyway, I'm not just trying to flex here; my point is that your 3x3 speed isn't tied to your megaminx speed as closely as people think. You can get sub-1 on megaminx if you practice a lot, and 4LLL is fine to do that.What do you average on 3x3 and mega?
