Plenty of online stores do them, I even think amazon had v-cube 7s a while ago, not sure if they still do. The v-cube website doesn't take long to ship and isn't too expensive. Though I'd recommend the SS over that. Got my 8x8 from an eBay store.

For ss 6x6 stickers... http://www.cubesmith.com/6x6x6ShengShou.htm
best I can find.

Best for zhanchi... Depends what you want. That same website has a very wide variety to choose from, so have a look.
 
Are there any videos on cancellations in algorithms? If not, could someone make a video on how to realise them in the middle of a solve. I know what a cancellation is, and how they work, but in the middle of a solve I never realize them.

Cancellations are more common in bld. You can get used to them by doing slow solves, and eventually you'll recognise patterns that will allow for move cancellations. Don't worry too much though, it won't cost a lot of time. For example, a Jperm. With the 1x3 bar on the left already lined up you know you need to do a U' in the end. But if before the Jperm you know it's a U away, you can just leave it at that and do the alg, without having to do the U' AUF at the end.

I forgot to mention that I meant BLD :D

Same thing, when you do it enough times you'll know the cancellations from doing a setup > alg or whatever and finding out that there is a cancellation afterwards. Later you'll be concious that that cycle has a cancellation, and you'll know how to deal with it. This sort of thing is kinda intuitive, really. All comes down to experience.

I use a lot of cancellations to try to make up for my slow TPS, but honestly a lot of the time it isn't so worth it. There are some easy cancellations to do in M2 and OP though that I'll go over in the fifth video of my BLD tutorial.

For that case, I use R U R' B' R2 D R' U' R D' R2 U B

It flows pretty well for me up until that last R2 U B, which I'm still working on. I average around 23 seconds and can usually execute it in just above 2 seconds.

y' R' U' R F R2 D' R U R' D R2 U' F'
I use that one personally. Works well for me and is pretty much the same thing but F instead of B
 
1. Does anyone else find their Lingyun v2 to be faster than their zhanchi?

2. Does qqtimer have a PLL only scrambler option because I can't find one. If not, what Is a free online timer that does?




EDITED

Okay, so I just got back into 2x2 a couple of weeks ago and lately I've been able to get some sub-7 averages, with my best being 5.91 (althought I did have some pretty lucky scrambles :)). I'm using LBL (first layer, OLL then PLL) at the moment.

So, my question is, how fast should I be able to get with LBL, and what is considered a good ao5 for LBL? Oh, and one other thing. Should I just keep practising this method and try to get faster or should I consider something else like Ortega? Thanks :)
