Megaminx
1:02.93 single (PLL skip lol)
1:09.17 ao5 (counting 1:05 which was a former PB)
1:13.17 ao12

Also realised that my official PB single was overall PB by 0.1 at the time.

What set of algs / solving order do you use for Megaminx LL? I'm right now solving with 4 steps (EO, EP, CP, CO) and just generic algs (FRUR'U'F', Sune/Antisune, Niklas, beginners CO) and it takes me like 1 minute (only for the LL). F2L and S2L is taking less and less (still like 3 minutes but gradually improving) but LL seems to be stuck at 1 minute.

Learn the 'normal' 4lll; EO, CO, EP, CP.

Any recommended resource for algs to do it in that order?

Simon westlund had a tutorial, you know how to do EO, CO with sunes, EP is easy and CP you can learn Commutators.

Why would you bother orienting the corners when you are going to use commutators anyway? My LL method is EO, EP+1 corner, L4C with comms.

They mean the R' D/D' R stuff when they talk about commutators.

YEEEESSS!!! I got my first sub-10 solve 9.72!! Seeing that 3-digit number was amazing! CMLL skip

Yeah, but the generic commutator (which is also in the pdf guide you linked) can only interchange corners not orient them so you either have to orient them first or afterwards. I know that commutator but it is simply not any faster than a couple Niklas. Problem with that guide also is that, c'mon 16 cases for corner orientation? That's a ton of algs. Maybe if I start getting a lot into Mega but right now it's not worth it. Maybe if I was able to understand commutators better, what Torch says would make sense, if you can just do corners in one step. Can you give more specifics? I don't quite get the EP + 1 corner part.

16 algs is not a lot; most are very easy to learn. Of all the algs I know, only 4 are new, the rest are sunes, backsunes, pi, or combinations of them (exception is the T case which is part of the E perm). EO and EP are self explanatory. For CP, I know all the cases except the cases with headlights on all sides because they are easy to use commutators for.
