My question: im using elimescube's sq-1 method for turning it into cubeshape. Thereafter for solving the U/D face, i sometimes use thrawst's B and A algo, and sometimes also use elimescube's method. Then, i use elimescube's alg to solve the corners and then the edges. My best single is 1:21.40 mins, ao5 1:32.32 and ao12 1:40.96. Now after around 5 days of learning this thing i think my times are getting stagnant. What oher method do you guys recommend? I saw a similiar post to mine and someone replied that this method can get you averaging around sub-30. Honestly i doubt it. So what would you guys recommend i learn? Be it making a faster cubeshape, or whatever. Any suggestions? Thanks ppl.
Tjen.

What is the advanced way of solving sq1? How many algs would I need respectively for each method (I assume there is more then 1 fast method)?

Sorta builds on the above poster but not really.

To the extent of my knowledge, there is no advanced method. Just work on getting color neutral, and learning the layout of your colors perfectly. This will decrease your times, and delays.

When I first started, I always did Y/B sides first, and after doing the third center, I had to think of which centers went where. Now Im a lot better at it.

Im already Cn on the centers lol. I was just wondering if there was some faster way I did not know of.

I assume everyone is CN on the centers..

No, a lot of people always solve yellow and white first. I for one have a fixed order for the M-centres too, as I don't have to think and will never mess up the colour scheme.

At a competition, do they scramble the pyraminx corners?

Yes

I'm learning the Dot cases in OLL and I'm having trouble associating the alg with the case on the cube. Are there any recognition videos or tips I can use?

 

[Ordos_Koala]

badmephisto has some vids about PLL/OLL recog on youtube, but I didn't have to watch it, so I don't know if it's useful at all... for me worked a lot of practice

 

[freshcuber]

Alright thanks, I knew he had a PLL guide but not an OLL guide, I'll be sure to check it out.

???

 

[Ordos_Koala]

as you can see, it doesn't hope they'll add something
EDIT: now it works, but it didn't

 

[sa11297]

where can i buy a v cube 2?

 

[Ordos_Koala]

as I told you yeasterday: https://v-cubes.com/ecom/home.php?cat=263
it's too soon to expect many stores have them already

 

[sa11297]

oh you did....? well thanx

for speedsolving which is better the pillowed or flat shaped?

edit: how much is shipping (i heard it is expensive)

 

[Ordos_Koala]

depending on where do you live, but it's fast... and yes, it's quite expensive... as I stated before, they are availible few days, so not so many people have tried them both yet

 

[sa11297]

yeah. i hope a review comes quick. i live in the us so if i were to buy one 2x2 how much would shipping be?

 

[freshcuber]

Go to their site and put everything you'd want to order into your cart. Hit checkout and go as far as you can without having to pay. The total shown will be what you'd actually pay.

 

[sa11297]

wow $16 for shipping on one $12 cube. wonder why they dont have a cheap shipping option...
