Pyraminxing!

[DYGH.Tjen]

Hey guys. I got kinda interested in pyraminxing all of a sudden. Although I have yet to order mine, I would like to ask a few questions beforehand.

-What would be a good beginner > intermediate > advanced pyraminx method progression? Like for 2x2, it would be LBL > Ortega > CLL/EG maybe?

-Where can the best tutorials for each method be found?

-And what method do the fast people generally use? Like Oscar?

-Is silicone CRC spray or lubix better for a QJ?

Thanks!

Cheers, Tjen

P.S. I didn't ask this in the OAQT as it was kinda long and had more than a few questions. edit: no its not long but anyway tell me if you want me to move it to the OAQT, i'll delete it

-What would be a good <b>beginner > intermediate > advanced pyraminx method progression? </b> Like for 2x2, it would be LBL > Ortega > CLL/EG maybe?

Noob method, it has like 5 algs and is on youtube > intuitive oka or polish V > polish V or oka.

-Where can the best tutorials for each method be found?

Youtube and here for polish V.

-And what method do the fast people generally use? Like Oscar?

The methods I have listed before.

-Is silicone CRC spray or lubix better for a QJ?
questions.

Neither. Use 20000-50000 wt shock oil!

Good luck!!!

-What would be a good beginner > intermediate > advanced pyraminx method progression? Like for 2x2, it would be LBL > Ortega > CLL/EG maybe?

my progression was: intuitive LBL -> intuitive WO -> intuitive first step, and then LL as in WO, keyhole, oka etc.

-Where can the best tutorials for each method be found?

Are there tutorials for pyraminx methods? *sigh*

-And what method do the fast people generally use? Like Oscar?

intuitive first step and then LL like in WO, keyhole and Oka (each time I hear about a new method I take their fastest algs and add them to my intution...)

Thanks for replies, emo and Odder. What does WO stand for?
Since you said

Are there tutorials for pyraminx methods?

then where did you learn your methods from? Like Oka, keyhole etc? I mean, written tutorials also count. Lol

Cheers, Tjen

Layer by Luck -> Layer by Layer -> Polish V.
0 algs -> 5 algs -> 5 algs.

I recommends starting with LBL using intuitive and algs from 3x3 then move on to Keyhole, then Oka, then nutella and then polish V. Also don't just use 1 method.

Good Luck

I would say don't learnt Nutella as a temporary method.

It is more to improve your intuitiveness not as a method to use by itself.

Not counting tips there are 6 moving pieces and 4 that twist in place. It's a very simple puzzle, you'd be surprised at how much you can figure out on your own.

WO stands for Wedel-Odder method (I'm so helpful)
I just asked people what the steps were in the methods and figured it out by my own, not that hard to do...
