What do you average on mega? I might be able to help you grind, and give tips, cause I’ve TOTALLY NEVER done that before

If you post a YouTube video, even just of your solve, or give me a reconstruction, or just want tips, reply, and I'll help you!

Rip I don't have YouTube, and I don't know all the notation for megaminx, maybe how to get better at lookahead and moving pieces across the cube, how I should do f2l with the pieces scattered all over the place, I use Westland btw

Did I hear that you want to be sub-3 in mega?
Easiest way is to learn one of the 3 primary S2L methods, learn 4LLL, remember that you can do more stuff for F2L/S2L on mega than 3x3, and practice a ton.

@Owen Morrison's video guide on 4LLL:

I know you said no vids, but these will help you with recognition, memory, and execution with fingertricks.
