Does anyone know much about FTO?

I think a lot of people will start with FTO with the new DianSheng "cube".

Could anyone that knows much about FTO tell us about it? (What are the best methods? What's considered a good time?...)

I haven't seen any FTO threads yet so I decided to start one. In case you aren't aware face turning octahedron (aka FTO) is an extremely fun unofficial event that has been taking off recently. Hardware sucks, but the puzzle is a lot of fun to solve, and hopefully better hardware gets made in the...

Sure, i happen to know a few things about FTO. Firstly, most people solving FTO (in fact ive only seen one exception) nowadays use bencisco and algset extensions to it to solve it quickly. This includes every single person that is ranked bronze or higher. Also, i would say a decent time is something under 25 seconds. This is probably a bit slow compared to other milestones in wca events like sub 30 4x4, sub 1 5x5, sub 2 6x6, and sub 3 7x7, but nonetheless it is in line with them since fto is a less complex puzzle than 4x4, more complex than 3x3, and it is in some sense more awkward to turn than nxns so you almost sort of dont expect it to be as fast. Let me know if you have more questions about the puzzle, id be happy to answer
