Just want to say: get the yuhu megaminx and not a qiyi megaminx. They are both good decent budget puzzles, but get the yuhu as it is fully magnetic and turns quite well for 15 dollars, compared with the qiyi's 9 dollars and not magnetic.
If you are willing to go far out, get the Dayan. The magnet strength serves it purpose well of a high speed. It is 33-34 dollars, but it is outstanding. Also make sure you get some good lube for it, too.

Well, I don't know where you are receiving from, but get some Gravitas, Dignitas, and Dnm-37. You could also go for angstrom.

Compared to a flagship 3x3 though..........

Also if you set up the Shengshou its okay, usable but not comparable to the Qiyi. Setting up the Shengshou + the Clock itself = ~$14 USD

say your oppinions here and why i should do them

Bet. Megaminx is the most relatable to 3x3 at the start. You will end up doing a lot of crazy things during solves are you become more and more of an advanced solver, though. Also, clock requires a lot of skills that require special memory. 4x4 isn't that relatable to 3x3 except for the last parts of the solve. Megaminx is just 15 pairs, and depending how you solve them is unique per solve. It also helps with the lookahead with 3x3 the most compared with clock and 4x4.

Square-1. You'll quickly realize it's the only event worth doing.

3x3 with chopsticks You'll quickly realize it's the only event worth doing.

Are you doing OH, too? If not, do it.
As for next puzzle, start climbing the ladder - 4x4 and 5x5. A little more challenging, mainly because they take a good bit longer.
If you want something different, then pyraminx is short and simple. Megaminx is more complicated, but a lot of similarities to 3x3.

I did that in 2017, but instead of chopsticks, which I don't have, I used 8mm Dowel Sticks.

So I have been thinking about learning COLL for the past couple of days, and I have somewhat learned the algorithms for the H group, and I was wondering what other groups would be good to learn next, and any other help.

None. You’re better off just starting to learn ZBL. Or if you use CFOP learn 1LLL for like OLL 55 or 56
