Hello,
I'm from Colorado, US and work in automotive. I am still fairly new to cubing. Started a few months back initially with a Rubik's brand using their tutorial on their website. Upgraded to a Warrior W 3x3 from the bundle that includes the Qidi S 2x2. Finally I gave up on the Rubik's tutorial and learned beginner method from JPerm's video and was able to actually retain it. Still trying to learn algorithms - F2L, OLL, PLL but haven't had much luck as of yet.
I have a whole handful of budget 3x3s now and a couple GAN 356 XS. My 3x3 average is in the 1:22 range. I have had a few sub one minute solves and each one came with my YJ YuLong V2 M stickerless - PB 54.695.
I enjoy 4x4 too and currently only have one 4x4, Cubing Classroom MF4C stickered. I use the Yau Method. Not very fast. Been in the 7-8 minute range last time I timed a solve. Still need to reference notes if I get OLL parity. A lot of times when solving 4x4 I also reference notes for 2-look OLL/PLL during 3x3 stage.
Looking to add 5x5 to the mix soon!
Kind of skipped over 2x2, but I use beginner method as well and average about 1 minutes I think. I'm pretty all over the map on 2x2. As low as 30 seconds up to a minute and a half sometimes! I have Qidi S stickerless and GuoGuan XingHen stickered and I seem to be faster with the XingHen.
I found this forum because I was looking for a cube buy, sell, trade group on facebook without much luck and a google search brought me here! Plan to poke around some more and check everything out!
