Jonny358 not very good at cubing...

[iasimp1997]

people on youtube to go to for help:
TheWestonian
PestVic
Monkeydude1313
Lancetheblueknight
Thrawst

and then they will tell you some other channels that I missed.

Corrected.

Pi has a good F2L tutorial, and mephisto helps you to get past the beginners level. I had to get past beginners on my own...

Oh, yes, their tutorials are good. But you can't message them because they either quit or lost interest.

but... billy never quit. it was an april fools joke

Billy? Oh.
Wait, I thought he quit. Damn him. .

I think you can get better information from the OAQT than youtube users.

new record pyraminx... 7.61! Plus not knowing the actual moves. How do you spell algarythm?

Was that a full solve, or just a bad scramble? And it's "algorithm".

 

[jonny358]

Full solve.

 

[cincyaviation]

lol, he can almost beat me in pyra

Pyraminx is the only real puzzle

so keep up the good work and start learn some methods and LBL is not an option as it will just be very hard to learn further tricks/methods for it

 

[jonny358]

LBL????? Sorry I do not know the term.

 

[TeddyKGB]

LBL means "layer by layer", it the beginner method

 

[miniGOINGS]

LBL means "layer by layer", it the beginner method

It is a type of beginner methods.

 

[iasimp1997]

He uses standard LBL w/ Dan Brown Last Layer

IF THESE LINKS DON'T WORK, SEE MY PERSONAL MESSAGE I SENT YOU:
Good to see people are accepting you into the cubing community.
Pyraminx times are awesome (better than me), but you need to work on 3x3. I'm going to be sending you stuff that you need to learn.
You know the notation right? If not:
U - Top Side
R - Right Side
L - Left Side
D - Down side
B - Back side
F - Front side

Whenever one of those letters ends with a " ' " mark (e.g. U') it means to turn that face counter clockwise. Vice-Versa.
So.
The next thing you need to learn is called "F2L". You know when you're placing the corners? Then the middle layer edges? Well, there's a way to do those at the same time. Yup, F2L. Fairly intermediate. It slows your times at first right when you learn it, but after a week or two of practice you will begin to see gradual improvement.
Some F2L tutorials:
MeMyselfandPi's F2L (and other steps) Tutorial
Badmephisto's F2L Tutorial (recommended by many)

Then there's OLL and PLL. MeMyselfAndPi explained that in his F2L video. Listed above.

You're going to be learning what's called "2-Look OLL". Here's a tutorial:
(he explains what this is in his tut)
LanceTheBlueKnights 2-Look Orientation of the Last Layer Tutorial (where I learned: highly recommended)

Then there's 2-Look PLL. Here's Badmephisto's tutorial:
(explains what it is in video)
Badmephisto's Permutation of the Last Layer Tutorial

It may take a while to learn this stuff, but it's worth it. It'll slow you A LOT at first, but you will see giant improvements.

(OLL and PLL are replacements for Dan Brown's method: way faster and way more efficient)

I want to learn a fast method... is Rob's OK?

 

[iasimp1997]

F2L is the most common method. Then 2Look PLL and OLL. Rob's is just plain beginner's. Use MeMyselfAndPi's or Badmephisto's tutorial (see PM i sent you for links).

 

[jonny358]

I just learned F2L... pretty cool. I am learning sune, antisune, double sune, and triple sune right now...

 

[shadowflair]

Welcome!!

It took me about 5 months to get from about 1 minute average to about 30 seconds now. I started out with layer-by-layer, learned intuitive F2L, then PLL, then 2LOLL during this period of time.

Taking the time to memorize the algorithms meant I got lots of practice so the time decreased as I went along. Keep it up! You'll get there as many have before us.

 

[jonny358]

Thanks! I'll keep it up... by the way... what is your time now?
