Help with megaminx

[Kubinator97]

How do i get faster with the megaminx, my pb is 6:32.20

Practice, learn more algs, learn more tricks.

Pretty much typical advice.
Some LL corner commutators can help.

Get better at 3x3.

 

[Kubinator97]

I average 33 secs on 3x3

Practice,
like JTW2007 said, practice 3x3 to.

If you practice 3x3, your Minx improves. If you practice Minx, your 3x3 may or may not improve. Therefore, practice 3x3.

ok that makes sense

 

[Inf3rn0]

Doesn't mean you can't get better.

Anyway i agree practice 3x3.

Practicing 3x3 is definetaly the most helpful thing you can possible do. But since the megaminx color scheme is different than the 3x3 knowing what pieces to look for helps a ton especialy after the first 5 f2l's. Knowing multiple algs for the last layer helps a lot too. You can use J and T for 3 out 5 edge permutation cases (i think)

 

[blah]

You can use J and T perms for all but 1 edge permutation case, and you don't even have to mirror them.

Well it depends on the 3^3 method you use. Practicing 3^3 doesn't help me at all for megaminx
Anyway, you don't need to be superfast at 3^3 to get decent averages at megaminx. Just try to improve your recognition on the dodecahedron specifically.
