Does anyone know any tutorials of how to find edge pairings on 4x4?

 

[mchedlo213]

Many of the top cubers (Feliks, Breandan, Erik etc.) have PLL algs/fingertricks on YouTube. Check them out.

thnx i'll check that out = )
hope it helps = )

i looked through but couldn't find any worthy,could anyone advice me something maybe they've used or is good ?

Just go onto Google Translate. But to save you a search...

Speed cuber:

Write: скорость cuber.
Say: skorostʹ cuber.

Dude, I know English, French and Spanish, and I must tell you, GTranslate isnt the most trustworthy thing..

Would any russian speaker cuber give me a little russian cubing glossary? How do you say (or type) speedcuber in russian?

спидкубер!

Maru lube:
- Is it good?
- Is it only good in certain cubes/situations?
- would you recommend it? (do you use it?)
- Any specific instructions on how to apply it (is it similar to lubix/traxxas/ofna/shock oil?)

a.) It's good, however, it doesn't last that long, and then you'll just have to relube it.
b.) I find that it doesn't work that well in 3x3's (as in no effect), but it made my Shengshou 6x6 much better. It really improves the Wittwo 2x2 too.
c.) I do recommend it; it's nice and cheap and makes big cubes a lot better.
d.) Just a few drops around the core, and on the pieces. Then scramble the cube you lubed for like 10 seconds and let it sit for a few minutes. It should be good then.

I agree with everything except, B, it works with 3x3, the affect is just very short and not worth it.
Also, I just lubed my whittow and holy **** ,it's fast

Want to add a cube for collection purposes: Lunhui or lingyun v2?

Roux-ers! I call upon thee! lol I've finally decided to learn CMLL, have been learning for about a week now. I'm taking my time and making sure to really cement the algorithms. I noticed a while back that when folks write their algorithms out in a list they use A1, B2, and similar as a way of denoting which algorithm they're referring to. Using that system, others that use the same algorithm set that is being referred to understand which algorithm they are talking about. I would like to understand that system as well, however.... The place I'm learning my algorithms from doesn't use that system.

I'm learning from the Lubix site, this link http://www.lubixcube.com/Lubix_Cube/CMLL.html So far I really like the algorithms and the pictures of each case have been incredibly helpful in helping me understand what's happening. Is there any chance that one of you wonderful folks could go through that list there, and in the same order as that site give me a list of what letter number pair each case is? Just starting with the J-Perm and going down the list. I'd love to be able to assign those letter/number combos to my algorithm sheets and flashcards to help me also learn what each case is.

where is a good place to buy alpha I core ? i tried icubemart and cube depot but the checkout button don't work for me.

Try hknowstore

What should learn next? COLL or EG-1?

I just finished CLL.

Aren't a lot of the CLL algs the same/similar to the COLL ones? i don't really like the idea of EG eitger so i would say COLL.

 

[soldii3runit]

is there a store that is selling the alpha I core for less than $2? all i have left on my paypal is $1.95

Should I learn F2L with algorithms?

I currently know intuitive f2l and kind of suck at it. I want to learn algorithms but a lot of people says that it doesn't really make a difference. Should I stick with intuitive f2l and learn new tricks, or just learn the algorithms?

 

[Godmil]

Look up some algs, follow what they are doing, then you should be able to intuitively replicate them (also mirror them so they work for any slot).

 

[RNewms27]

If you think you have experimented enough, look at algorithms. It will help and make your solves more optimal. Once you learn them without watching your moves, you can look for the next pair while you execute the current algorithm.

Alright,

If I can twist a corner on my Maru 4x4 like you can on a 3x3 should I be worried?

Cubesmith questions and other assorted questions

1. Does cubesmith make tiles for the Mefferts pyraminx? I couldn't find them on the site. And if not why not? (it's a pretty popular puzzle)

2. Does cubesmith make any tiles/stickers that will fit the mini QJ 4x4?

3.any tips on assembling, lubing and tensioning a guhong v2?

Also please don't yell at me, I used the search bar and couldn't find answers for question #1 but i didn't search for the other two.

Thanks

 

[Stingray970]

I believe that assembly of a guhong v2 is very similar to a zhanchi.

Thanks for the quick response
