Yeah. I just tried and did a 4.87 Ao25.

WOW but I kinda want to see my times be fully sub 5.

4.87 IS sub 5..

 

[Michael Womack]

4.87 IS sub 5..

Most of the times are sub 5 none that are like 5.08, 6.00

Of YOUR times? Try ortega.

My question: people in the US.. How long do fasttech orders typically take to get to you?

1-2 weeks.

Is fasttech and lighttake worth it? It's pretty cheap compared to say the Cubicle and there's free shipping, but well, for example at here it says it's a guhong v2 DIY, and it comes in black and white, but the picture shows a stickerless DIY, pictured with… stickers?! I mean this is cheap but I'm kind of uncertain as to whether I'm ordering what I want or not.

I think black/white stands for black side or white side on that stickerless cube

 

[slinky773]

So it's a force cube then? huh?

EDIT: for the record I meant this "huh?" as a "what?" not as a "you're a dumbass"

NO, it means you have the choice of having a white or black bottom, along with 5 other colors

Good fingertricks for R2 U R2 U2 R' U' R U' R U' R U' R2 U2 R'? I can't find any that are good for me.

I just use a different easily fingertrickable algorithm:

R2 [D (R' U2) R] [D' (R' U2) R']

I had a really bad time with this OLL case too, nothing seemed to be fast or fingertrickable. Once you get used to the alg I gave it gets very fast.

Lightake.com nope, fasttech yes. Lighttake has a history of "not giving a sh*t". Orders come with missing parts or wrong stuff altogether.
Fasttech is just pretty great. I've ordered there multiple times and everything has always been just what I expected. In that picture there's a stickerless because they probably used to sell stickerless Guhong V2's aswell and now they are out of stock which is why the picture shows them and the buying options do not.

EDIT: Nevermind, you're watching the wrong site. Here's the regular Guhong V2 in black and white: http://www.fasttech.com/products/21...ayan-guhong-3x3x3-puzzle-speed-cube-version-2

Unfortunately I wanted a DIY because I wanted Izo stickers… ohwell I can always peel

2GLL, not OLL.

2GLL, not OLL.

My bad, you did not specify.

Totally worth it.

No, lightake sells cheap Moyu. For un-important orders, use them. If it matters more, use fasttech. If you're ordering something big, or a lot of cubes, thecubicle.us, puzzleaddictions, are the way to go. I LOVE Fasttech.

 

[sneaklyfox]

Fasttech is awesome. Used them a couple times. Never had problems with my orders. Just that it takes a month, but if you add a little (less than a dollar) it will come in 1-2 weeks.

True, but I was asking for fingertricks, not algorithms.

Speaking of fingertricks...I can't sort out any good ones. Sorry

But I did find another alg on boca which is SoooooOO much nicer:

R U R' U' R U' R U2 R2 U' R U R' U' R2 U' R2 = (R U R' U') (R U' R U2') R2 U' (R U R' U') (R2 U' R2')

I've got it down to 1.12

Thanks! That's a really good alg. I should've thought of BOCA; I've used it before for 2GLL algs but forgot about it.

Lubix + Water (mixed until correct consistency) = equivalent of Maru lube? ty

Can all PLLs on megaminx be solved 2 gen (R U)?
