Is m2 worth it?

[Rubiks560]

Hey guys I was curios is learning m2 worth it? will it speed me up by much? right now I use the T perm and set up moves for edges

 

[Kirjava]

dunno lol

 

[shelley]

Nah. Tons of people have learned M2 and a lot of people have spent lots of time and effort documenting the method. Of course it's not worth learning. You're better off spending your time asking silly questions on forums.

 

[DavidWoner]

There's nothing to learn. They are basically the same thing.

 

[Edward]

I don't know, you tell me.

Nobody uses it.

 

[Rubiks560]

[Edward]

Nope...

 

[Rubiks560]

It takes me a little bit less time to execute M2 than R U R' U' R' F' R2 U' R' U' R U R' F', but hey, that's just me.

One time, while I was learning M2, a light in my room burnt out, and my dad said I couldn't get a new one. So now, I'm never going to learn M2, because bad things happen to good people.

When you have to ask if it's worth it. It's not worth it.

 

[yeee707]

I'm also starting to learn M2, and it seems like the special cases with the middle slice shooting and flipped centers seems a little hard to remember. But that's just me.

Why can't you just use 3 Cycle?

Whatever, I don't normally do bld but I'm getting into it a little more. You could use it as a stepping stone to something better if you want. It's your choice. Why not try to find someone who uses M2 and see if they are fast or not? (of course, I mean, research before asking.)

Former WR holders used it.

I'm not sure about this, but I think that M6 has replaced M2 as the most widely used method for bld. So I would go with m6.

Now your confusing me.

Haha, people still talk about M2? I thought everyone knew that was outdated. All the good people use M3 now - it's 50% more efficient.
