So I have been doing 2x2 one handed recently, and I was wanting to get faster at it. However, the main thing holding me back is that some of the ortega algorithms for 2x2 are not good for one handed, and some of them even require you to do rotations in the middle of the algorithm in order to...
I recently got the MoYu RS2 M 2x2, and it is my first 2x2. This 2x2 is only $9.99 CAD on CANcube and is meant for beginners. It has no adjustment system, except for a basic screw and spring. This cube works great with Lubicle Speedy in the springs. It uses the same core as most speedcubes, with...
Simliar to the 3x3 method thread, this one is for 2x2. I personally use Ortega because I cannot be bothered to learn that many algorithms for an event that is so fast anyway. Instead I am working on Ortega optimisation through watching J Perms videos
There is a good chance I have missed out on...
Hello, I've been working on a new trick (I haven't found it anywhere else in this forum) where you predict the LL permutation from OLL. If you can predict the first layer permutation, then you can predict full PBL with this. This method can get you faster because you do OLL and PBL in one look...
I learned Ortega a few days ago on my 2x2 and now instead of getting averages of 5 or 6 I am getting averages of 7 or 8. How can I lower my time to 4-5 seconds like everyone says I should be able to with Ortega?
*gets into 2x2 but notices it doesn't have its own One-Answer Question Thread* ._.
Could anyone explain how they fingertrick this alg: R2 U' B2 U2 R2 U' R2? I always get a little stuck on the B2.. Also, are there any videos showing this alg preformed? ..Also, what Sub-X should I aim for...
Hi! My name is David and I am starting speedcuber from Czech Republic. :) I cube since June, my 3x3 PB is 24:59(Zhanchi/ShuangRen/Yulong, avg mostly around 30 sec) and my 2x2 PB is 2.70(Dayan, avg mostly around 7 sec).
For 3x3 I use Fridrich, where I know almost full PLL plus 2-look OLL(cross...
Hello fellow cubers! This is a thread for people who would like to discuss and help those who are in need of it, which explains the name of the thread.
To start of this thread, I would like to ask the first question. I've just started learning CLL, and I have already memorized...
A few weeks ago i decided to go back cubing... and to see how bad i was right now... however it happen to be that i m kind of better than i though (even if my times are not too good).
I did miss a lot cubing, and maybe i can catch up again the speedcubers train. The video doesn't have any...
Im not sure if this has method is decent or if it has been created already. It is a combination of guimond and ortega.
Step 1: Make face using opposites (red, orange), (white, yellow), (green, blue)
Step 2: Oll
Step 3: formulas using double turns (ie. R2) and u/d. (this is from...
So, when solving Ortega, I notice that there is a case that is kind of awkward to fix, the way I do it anyway. Its when you have three pieces of the first side in place and the last piece is also in, but it is twisted clockwise. Can anyone post the most efficient way of fixing this?
Thanks...
I'm trying to learn the Ortega method on my 2x2, my times increased significantly, as i expected, but i've been practicing for hours and they haven't moved. How much better is ortega than the LBL method and how long does it take until I finally get decent times again? If it helps, Im colour neutral
