Imsoosm's Progression Thread - learning eg1

[Timona]

Still average around 2:10, but getting sub 2 a bit more commonly. As of now, I use EO and CO pretty frequently in my solves, and rarely use CP as I don't know enough CP algs yet. When I know the EP alg I'll do it, then for CP I would just do the beginner way of taking out the corner then putting it back in where it's supposed to be.

Same for me, I've only timed Megaminx 8 times, and those are for online comps, I average around 2:20 from the times I've recorded. I can't be bothered rn cus it takes so long to scramble it.

Mega scrambles are not that hard to do.

Yeah, I don't really like the scramble style. I think the scramble style for kilominx is much more reasonable, they should use that for megaminx except make it a bit longer.

After you practice it a bit though, it does get easier. I personally like carrot style better, it's basically same as WCA, but it looks easier.

Well, what the heck does that notation mean? I prefer the WCA style.
Wait, is it just the same thing as like doing R++ D--, but shortened to +-?

Go to CStimer, click on megaminx under ===WCA===. Then on the right box, you can choose the scramble notation.
Carrot is exactly the same as WCA style, except it omits the R and D. For example, +- means R++ D--. First one is R and the second one is D.

edit: whoops you already figured it out

Yeah, I just figured it out. Imagine scrambling it like the old style. That must suck. No wonder why the WCA decided to make it so that if you mess up a mega scrabmle, you don't have to do it. At least know mega scrambles are a LOT easier.

Well, I was hoping that WCA would implement SS Kilominx's scramble style. Kilo only has RUFL BL and BR, and flips. Imo much easier than old style (DBR, DBL, DL, DR). They just need to make the scramble length a bit longer than kilo.

Nah it's fine, I use this one by Feliks. Thanks for the offer though

Imagine your OH single being a second faster than your 2H single (this is Antonio Kam)

most cuber's oh singles/averages are twice their two handed ones, so that guy must be pretty lucky/grinds a ton of oh. (and i'm surprised you can even access the wca page)
