[Member Intro] Hello!

[ultimatecube]

Hi everyone! I'm ultimatecube. I like playing Ultimate Frisbee, hence the "ultimate" in my username. Not trying to imply I'm the best cuber of all time! That title belongs to someone else. I solve the 2x2, 3x3, and Pyraminx. Currently learning the 4x4, but progress has been rather slow. Any useful tips will be gladly accepted! I learned an introductory Fridrich method for the 3x3 several years ago and set a PB of 46.96. I could never beat that record, so I stopped cubing for a while (I know, it's absolutely horrible). I picked back up again, taught myself a few tips and tricks and a handful of new algorithms, and busted my record. I'm currently at 22.61 on a Dayan Zhanchi.

Right now I'm putting together an unofficial (not WCA-approved) cubing contest in south GA scheduled for May 16. If you're in the area, let me know and I'll send you some more info. Thanks!

GA is Georgia? Weird.

I can give you some tips.

Welcome. I can help with Fridrich/CFOP, although others would be better options. But if there are no other options, Im here.

The users not the method, although I personally believe Roux is the best, but meh.

I'm your guy for most things. Mainly how specific cubes perform (I watch tons of reviews, and have tons of cubes). Glad you are learning he 4x4, its really fun If you have any questions about most anything I'm here to help. Except BLD. I'll leave that up to Berd, he's the guy you want to ask.

I used the tutorial by the Youtuber mathtornado. (It had some numbers behind it but I can't remember them) It was really easy to follow. I hope this helps!

 

[JemFish]

I'll help with BLD (especailly 3BLD)!

 

[ultimatecube]

Yup, the abbreviation convention in the States is rather odd. Those tips were useful, but I already know them rather well.

 

[ultimatecube]

Awesome! I've wanted to learn bld but I've always been intimidated by the prospect.

 

[ultimatecube]

Thanks! How easy is Roux to learn for a Fridrich solver?

Quote stuff you're replying to and don't double (triple) post.

Thanks! My 2x2 and 3x3 are Dayan Zhanchis, and my 4x4 and Pyraminx are Shengshous. I used a Rubik's Speed Cube before I got the better ones. I should have checked here before I did that. Any suggestions on lubrication?
