I want to switch to ZZ, any tips to make EOline faster?

Practice. Seriously. Just practice.

You weren't doing a very good job of it. EOLine is a complicated and confusing step for someone just starting ZZ to get used to compared to anything done in standard CFOP. "Just practice" isn't necessarily the best option in this case, as that could lead to the forming of very inefficient habits simply because he has no way of knowing any better. As an example of something that could be more helpful: asmallkitten's wonderful ZZ tutorial on youtube.

Ok sorry. IMO the best way to improve eoline (once you know it ofc) is to just practice.

Cheers. Is there an equivalent for higher order cubes?

no

thenextfeliks is right

during inspection, identify how you will solve EO, and note where the line pieces are
start timer
solve EO while tracking the line pieces
make line
then solve the cube in <5 seconds
celebrate

My posts keep getting removed and I don't know why. Am I breaking rules or something? Is a mod monitoring me??

Lol. Yay I like being right! ^^This is better for beginner.

What type of posts? Maybe. Not really. They just read everyone's posts and keep an eye out. Mods don't hate you or anyone. Except Brest doesnt like me cause I ask him to reconstruct my solves when I could do it myself.

Hopefully Sarah will give a better explanation.

I don't know, I'll just post and all of a sudden a few hours later when I check back my post is gone. I don't think they are any different then just this post.

If you want to make sure a mod sees your question, report the post.

 

[JF1zl3]

I don't want to inconvenience anyone, it doesn't really matter anyway, it doesn't happen to important(er) posts like competition entries.

 

[sneaklyfox]

It's still good to figure out what's going on. I don't see a mod deleting your posts as you're saying pretty normal stuff. Could be a browser thing maybe?

 

[JF1zl3]

True. Well I have no idea, but I think my post count still goes up even if it gets deleted.

If that's the case then there's something weird going on. When a post gets deleted, your post count should go back down.

 

[JF1zl3]

My count must be going down and I just have poor memory, because Brest just messaged me and explained what's happening. Everything is okay.

How do you unscrew the two screws in the maru 4x4? The ones on the blocker pieces inside. I need to put lube in and they wont come out.

How do you get used to the 3x3 sim controls? I've tried putting stickers on my keyboard with the corresponding moves but I thought if I did that I would never actually memorize it, well of course unless I do like 500+ solves or something where it would become mostly automatic, just like learning the letter placement of a keyboard, but I don't actually plan on doing that many solves, so what did you sim solvers do? I'm thinking of just having a piece of paper with the controls next to me would be the most effective.

I started with 2-gen stuff for F2L. and did 4LLL and memorized FRURUF Sune, corners, and edges. until I got the hang of the controls. However if you don't keep up with it you start all over. lol I can't do it anymore without a cheat sheet


Also, does a shengshou 4x4 V5 actually exist? None of my shops have them and they are not even on ebay.

Yes they do, except shengshou never announce new versions of their 4x4, so everyone just assumes its a v3, seeing as there are practicaly no differences which can be seen from the outside.
