Clock and Other Things (Clock is Back)

[OreKehStrah]

Megaminx enthusiasts. what are some good tips and/or tricks to moving towards or breaking the sub-1:10 barrier? I'd like to get there soon, as I've made wonderful progress recently with Megaminx. I've begun learning some more star OLLs too.

Watch example solves for finger tricks. Use back insertions to improve ergonomics and reduce rotations

Thank you!! Right now I’m just figuring out what the next best steps to take are. Like, what I should be learning next to get closer towards consistent Sub-1:10.

If you could post a video of your solves that would be helpful to see

New Megaminx PBs! I think that I've been making such good progress because I'm currently on break and have significantly more free time than usual. I've also exclusively done Megaminx and close to zero clock over the past couple weeks.

Single: 1:00.79

Average: 1:11.32

Just a good cube, an S2L order, and a few of the 4LLL algs should be enough

Got a GAN 251 Pro--best 2x2 decision ever. The Valk 2M is an incredible cube, but it was occasionally too slow for some fingertricks which resulted in lockups. I just got a 2.72 PB Ao5! First PB of 2024. Also, I'm down to a sub-4 Ao100 after not practicing in forever.

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

BLD time.

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

A 3BLD single has now been accomplished.

 

[Clock_Enthusiast]

Broke my 3BLD PB after many, many attempts; also my second success ever. This was my fastest memorization and execution time (including DNFs) yet.



03:50.341 - U' D' B2 U L2 U' L2 B R2 F' U R L B2 L D2 F2 D2 R2

Been practicing lots of 3BLD lately. Just got a new PB single of 3:07.26!
