One-Answer Pyraminx Question Thread

[cubefan4848]

Is there any Pyraminx alg generators around? I remember there used to be umbrella but I can't find a link that works anymore. Also I know about jaapsch just very much dislike using it.

Thought I would post here, didn't really want to make a new thread.

Is there a good pro and con of V first vs Top first?

V First: Pro-easy to learn and get fast, transitions well from LBL. Top First: Pro- a little faster Con-lots of algs.

 

[Duncan Bannon]

You would say top first is faster. Interesting. Is there a list of top first vs v first users?

Tymon and Drew are Top First users. I would like to see a list as well.

Yep as @JustAnotherGenericCuber said I would definitely recommend that you get the X-Man Bell. Also, if you have ShengShou or Moyu magnetic springs then I would recommend that you try those out in the X-Man bell as well. At the moment I have the ShengShou springs in my X-man and I really like it, and I also removed 2 magnetics from each of the tips and that now make it a little lighter to turn the tips.

What is a good pyraminx method? I am currently trying l4e and I hate it.

I would try 1-flip or test a few different top first methods.

As @CornerCutter, some top-first methods would be the best option. I tried l4e and top-first out for a bit before I decieded on what I liked best and top-first was the one for me. I would recommend that you start with Keyhole, 1-flip, and/or OKA, and then if you continue with top-first then move on to Nutella, and WO. Nutella and WO are more advanced methods and not something that you need to learn if you just keep to the first 3 methods, but there are times that WO and Nutella can come in handy to know.

Thanks! I am trying to learn Keyhole now.

Should I learn FFL or FP? I'm currently trying to find an advanced method to learn and can't decide.

Wow this thread is acient.

l4e is way better than FFL or FP, this is because FFL and FP algs suck. However if you want, I do have an alg sheet that you can look over with some interesting subsets here.

Which one would you recommend though?

So I recently transitioned to L4E from LBL. I know how to solve all of the L4E cases but my recognition time is very slow. Are there any ways by which I can get reduce my recognition time? Or with just practice only it will improve?

With l4e I learned how to recognize each case by only looking at the U layer edges and center, then did a lot of practice from there.

So with practice only recognition gets fast I guess. Sub-6 is possible with intuitive L4E right?
