Hi everybody!!!, I am Claudio Alejandro Andrade Martinez, better known for some friends here in my country,Chile, as Madara, but unfortunately the nickname was taken, so I used my facebook id (MadaraMangekyou) as nickname, well i dont want to bore you so i will ''shortly'' explain how i got into the speedcubing world
since child i wanted to solve the cube, but it was not untill 16 age that i really tried(2008), i used a video of someone called dan brown (not the creator of da'vinci code!!) for to learn and in a week i could solve the cube without looking the instructions, i really had a bad cube, a cube that here in chile we call ''cubo de cuneta'' (sidewalk cube, because is sold by people in the street) , it was awfull, then i bought a rubiks 25th anniversary and i started to improve faster... in a year i was doing times of 50 seconds with LBL method(not a great time but i was really proud of it), after that i got a Dayan guhong and i continued improving for another year, getting to times of 40 to 35 seconds using lbl in the F2L and 4LLL in the last layer, then i quit for a period of 8 months, when i came back my times were again around 50 seconds, so i decided to learn F2L, and optimal cross (8-7 moves max) i did it and 3 months i was averaging 30 seconds, then in 2011 i was at my first tournament, for me was a disaster ,a 40.84 average and not getting into 2nd round, in the same year, in my second tournament i averaged 34.60 and i felt better, even not getting again into 2nd round, from this moment i trained hard for to become sub-30 and i did it in 2012, with my best tournament ever 25.41 single and 29.81 average , times who qualified me into the top 100 of my country, i one more time didn't get into second round but then i was sub-30, the next two tournaments i did worse times, and i was so obfuscated that i simply leave, in both i was qualified for 2nd round, after that i miss two tournament, as result i lost the top 100 in single and average, currently i am averaging 27,40 seconds and my goal is to get back into the top 100 of my country...

excuse my bad english, my mother language is spanish
 
Bienvenido! Don't worry, your English is fine! If I could speak Spanish as well as you speak English, I would be quite happy. At my University, I met several students from Chile. They were all very smart.

Anyway, it looks like you'e been cubing for a while. Hopefully you can find some resources here to get even better.
 
Oh!, really?, you know people from chile?, what a small world, in my college i know a guy from korea... he is good at 4x4x4 and 5x5x5...
i hope to really learn goods algs, because i'm mostly cubing with the original fridrich algs... none of them uses triggers!

I'm actually American, but I teach English in Korea :p I want to meet some Korean cubers, but I live very rural. Also, can't really help you with Fridrich stuff. I'm a Rouxer. I'm sure there are tons of people who can help though. I think there's an algorithm database somewhere too.

Oh, Ok... i've saw the algs database... in the wiki... there are so many that sometimes is really hard to pick one, Roux seems interesting, because is less mechanical than fridrich you need to think more....

Welcome to the forums! The wiki does have a ton of algorithms for each case, but that just makes it easier to find a fast one. It can sometimes be hard to pick them out, but just go through each one a couple of times and find which one feels best. The ones higher up on the list are the ones that are most used, so they are most of the time the best ones. Another good place to get algorithms, at least for PLL anyway is Badmephisto's website. PS your english is great! I know many people with english as their native language that are far worse at speaking it.
 
Oh, cool, a Naruto fan! Aren't you so excited to see the new powerups that Naruto and Sasuke get from the SO6P? I can't wait!

i've seen the badmephisto , but i preffer it more for oll than for pll, cause the double layer turns, a thing that annoys me
i'm flattered by your comment of my english, in highscool my spelling was terrible, but i worked on it (i will never write whit meaning with anymore, but i used to)
 
Welcome! Nice to see another Naruto Fan!
I like PAIN more than Madara though and Sasuke EMS is awesome :D better than Naruto's kurama :p
six path pain is a great character... a lot of power, but unfortunately few health....
i think that the intention of kishimoto was to develop both characters (naruto and sasuke) as equals for a final fight... is a very probable end
so sasuke, Needed a lot to get the EMS....
