Will I get worse at Yau and big cubes, if I switch to Roux on 3x3?

Not if you keep practising CFOP/Yau on bigcubes.

Nope Aolong IMO.

In YOUR opinion.............its weilong in mine

Answer in 3 sec!

if you average 20 seconds there is no difference so flip a coin

also weilong v2 = weilong. theres no difference other than the corners being split into 3 pieces instead of 2

Can anybody point me to a tutorial for roarby4?

Link. I don't know if that's right because I hadn't heard of roarby4 before, but I'll trust that post. It's all I could find.

Thanks Ben!
So in your opinion, at what average should I change to better cube?

Ignore anyone who says changing cube won't make a difference until you average x.xx. Different cubes feel different. Try them if you want to, and see what you prefer. They may or may not help your times.

Just get a Weilong/Aolong, you don't have to buy more cubes after that. You can't really get better than those cubes.

How long does it generally take to learn new algorithms and have them pure muscle memory?. I am learning full pll right now, and I am taking it slow. I only learn one every 1-2 days or so. I have some of them down, but not many. Also, some times I will learn a new one and forget half of like 3 others. I currently "know" 19 of the 21. but I find myself slowing down when it comes to recognition and execution of the algs. If I remember them right away, I will some times get them mixed up and do half of the right one and half of the another one.

Should I basically just keep practicing and always have the algs within range of me look them up if I need them?

Pretty much. What you describe is normal for people starting out in speedcubing. Over time you will get much better at learning algs, but there's not much you can do right now besides simply putting in the time.

I will say, though, don't rely on pure muscle memory. Watch how pieces are moving around during the alg. For example, watch F2L pairs be removed and put back in differently, watch particular places in the alg where colors match up. Any patterns you notice at all will help you remember the algs.

 

[WhatIsRubiks]

I do watch how the pieces move...and that is actually how I learn the algorithm in the first place (I watch how the cube looks at certain points in the alg and follow pieces, I am a visual learner). The problem I have is that my muscle memory will take over when I am trying to go faster and it might do part of another algorithm that is similar to the one I am doing. I find this happens on the g perms the most. I am normally able to recover and save the alg by going back when I notice I am doing this. It just gets annoying and my times have dropped by 10-20 seconds. I was at 25 seconds on average using 4LLL and I have been learning full pll for about a month now and I am averaging about 35-45 seconds

I'm pretty sure that he's 18.

Why cant we just call aolongv2 as weilong v4

 

[CriticalCubing]

or Weilong V3v2 but that is too big of a name!

Why cant we just call aolongv2 as weilong v4

How do you make text a link? Like the thing above in CriticalCubing's signature that says "my averages and PBs" and is blue. How?
