Thank you! I average about 16 on 3x3.

I think 5x5 is underrated… i may be biased because it’s the only time I made finals at a comp. But it’s the best NxN event. It’s a nice mix between luck, skill, has less parody, and has a permanent center. 4x4 is also good, but not as fun imo.

I agree 100%

I wanna get better at f2l, what should I practice?

 

[FenTheGoat]

I’m gunna try to learn full OLL. Currently know 26/57 (does OLL have 57 or 54 algs?)

I wanna learn squan… but it’s been so long since I’ve learned an even. I don’t even remember how I learned how to solve a 3x3. What should I do?

Search up a tutorial. I liked this one:

Parity sucks to learn but just bite the bullet and do it

(I still haven't learned it but that's beside the point)

Tingman describes an easy way to learn the parity alg. Really easy to understand.

I used CubeMaster’s tutorial + the one above to learn square 1.

that is pure hipocrisy.

people figured out how to send any type of file to youtube and you can't send videos to speedsolving

It’s because SS would need more servers, which heavily increases the price to keep the site running.

I wanna get better at 5x5 edge
Pairing. I use redux. Any tips?

Learn Yau. I think you can use 3-2-3 edge pairing on 5x5 as well.

Me having not memorized a single alg for squan and still need to look at the video for the algs to solve.........

Unlike on 4x4, Yau is not superior to Redux on 5x5. The main 5x5 methods are Redux, Yau5, and Yau (yes they're different), and all of them are good (not many people use Yau though and the most popular one is redux). So if they want to use Yau they definitely can, but it isn't objectively better than redux.

I don’t want to learn yau or yau5. So what would make me better at redux.

Most of them are quite easy to memorize.

Thanks for the info!

Just broke my 5x5 pb single by 8s.

Make sure to use free slice and work on efficiency with both center and edges. After that it’s kinda just practicing. I recommend watching J Perm’s 5x5 video series
