I need help learning full PLL. I was recently able to learn the algorithm for the Z perm but I wanna move on from 2-look pll and do full PLL. I think it'll help shave a couple seconds off my solves. Any tips?

Hi Do you guys have any tips for me to become sub-20? I've been getting 18-19 second solves kinda often but still havent gotten a sub-20 average. Do you guys know any ways I can get faster?

I'm trying to go from beginner to CFOP and I'm having a hard time with F2L and PLL. I don't want to do full algs yet though.

Is it WCA legal to use a combined cube in a comp? (One cubes core with another cubes pieces)

When I learn a new alg, how long should I practice it?

About one year ago, I was struggling learning begginner OLL and PLL. Now, i've learnt half Full PLL and arround 10 OLL algorithms. I'm also using Advanced F2L and crappy Look Ahead. When i started averaging arround 43 seconds (now i average 32) i started looking for lube on MercadoLibre...

Hi! I am currently doing CFOP at between 30-50 seconds. I have learned "some" algorithms for all steps. I do intuitive F2L, and have started learning some F2L algs. I am using Cubestation from GAN. ANd that gives me some stats per solve. I noticed that I compared to my opponents have a "low"...

I want to optimise my schedule for maximum progression but I am afraid of burnout as TWICE BEFORE I have burnt out. I wanna progress as fast as possible to get to Canadian NR in like 5~ years. There's not much to ask but I can't find anything similar on the web.

so i wanted to add my SS comp id to my account ( https://www.speedsolving.com/competition/showPerson.php?showPerson=10584), but when i type my id it cut it to only 4 chars (1058), so its linking to somebody's else account. is this a bug only on my side..?

How fast do I need to be to compete in 2x2 and pyraminx? Possibly 2nd round? Maybe even cutoff

I avg around 11-12 sec 3x3 Tbh, I've been stuck here for a long time. I can see my times improving after learning more oll algs but not so significant I usually end cross+f2l around 7-9 seconds oll around 1-2 seconds then pll depending on what case I have. Which step should I improve on?

Hi everyone, I currently average sub 10 on Pyraminx and use layer by layer. I use the WeiLong Magnetic Pyraminx. I currently want to average sub 5. I decided to use L4e for my solves + Blockbuilding but it seems really hard and I don't want to stress myself so much about making blocks on my...

I've had a cube for five years in a dusty box because cubes weren't interesting to me and i had like 5 years so there was no way i was going to solve it. But in 2022 chirstmas i got a new MoYu cube. The old one was VERY cheap and locked every five seconds, but with this new one i decided to take...

This will be a thread for talking about Clock. I've seen threads like this for other events like big cubes and megaminx, but I haven't seen anything for clock so... Feel free to discuss and ask questions!

I know that this is a little bit off topic, but please continue reading. I’m currently modding a 5x5 to make a 5x5x3. I’m considering cutting the top and bottom off, but that needs epoxy filler. Is it worth the danger? How should I handle the filler?

Hello! I currently average ( globally ) 14.8-15.2 on 3x3. I use CFOP exempt for the fact I use 2-look OLL. I don’t want to become a cuber that puts off learning OLL for so long that they never can. I struggle to learn short algs especially which sounds weird. Currently I’m at 20 something /57...

Yesterday, somehow the panel and button via which we switch and create new sessions was removed randomly How do i get the option back it has made operating cs timer difficult

I don’t think there’s a thread where more junior speedcubers can upload their reconstructions and get feedback from more senior cubers? Back when I averaged like 35 someone volunteered to look at a video of me cubing(I had no idea how to do a reconstruction) and sent me like 2 pages of feedback...
