[abunickabhi]

huge BLD are the unofficial events which are 6BLD, 7BLD and so on.

This thread is to discuss about them.

Does anybody know a Megaminx tutorial that teaches with an OP-style method? TheGrayCuber only teaches Orozco, and I think I've heard of an OP Method for MegaBLD but couldn't find a tutorial or way to do this myself.

That is not possible, you can't do a two swap on corners on a megaminx, even if edge swaps are also allowed. One turn is a 5-cycle, which is an even permutation (maybe counterintuitive since 5 is odd, but what is meant it that the number of transpositions needed to reach the state is even, no matter how you do it) so you can never reach an odd permutation. On 3x3 you can reach any parity for a given piece type because a single turn is an odd permutation of both corners and edges.

Thread '[Help Thread] Megaminx/Master Kilominx/Gigaminx BLD discussion'

Jul 7, 2013

Hi guys, thought I would start a thread for megaminx and bigger BLD discussion (what little there is), starting with my tutorial. As of starting this I only have part 1, but I'll post the rest here when I make it. I'll do my best to answer any questions here about the subject, both about the tutorials and other general questions.

My tutorials:
Part 1: memo
Part 2: execution
Part 3: tracking
Part 4: other stuff (coming soon)
Part 5: wings
Parts 6+: other MK/giga (coming soon)

Hope to spark some interest in this as I think it's pretty fun .

Matt

Maybe you find something useful for you there.

A pretty OP-like method for edges would be using this X-perm:

 Twizzle link 

L' R' U2 L U R y L R U2' R' U' L' y'

Your buffer ist back-left and you setup to front-up. The left and the right edges are swapped each time so you'll have to setup without disturbing them.
If one of these edges has to be solved, a pretty easy way is to turn it away from the top-face before you start a new pair and put it back afterwards (or you can use the algs from my post on 3rd of June 2016 in the thread).

Waiting for Graham to get a 11BLD success.

If Enoch decides to get back into cubing, I would love an attempt to get a 12BLD success.
