Is m2 worth it?

[Lucas Garron]

Haha, people still talk about M2? I thought everyone knew that was outdated. All the good people use M3 now - it's 50% more efficient.

Have you tried z2?

 

[peterbat]

Don't listen to qqwref, he's just being dumb.

But I just did ten bld solves, five using m6 and five using m2.

m2: 2:26.84, 2:20.58, 2:39.11, DNF, 3:30
m6: 1:57.02, 1:44.38, 1:28.15, 2:01.78, 1:50.95

I should make a video of that sometime.

 

[Rubiks560]

I have never heard of m6

 

[LewisJ]

m6 is basically m2 with a lot more algs to make it faster, very hard to learn. I prefer the e2 method, it is a lot less algs and easier to learn with no difficult cases.

 

[Rubiks560]

Could you link me to e2 and m6?

 

[dannyz0r]

It would take too much effort to create tutorials.

 

[peterbat]

here is a website on m6.

IS there a way to make it so it's english?

You just can't appreciate the beauty of 4-cycles! M6 is a subset of M3 anyway, you're just doing each algorithm twice instead of once. Waste of moves if you ask me.

But if you're going to use 4-cycles, you may as well just use the E method.

Has anyone tried M4? It's just like 3OP, but you do an M4 after every cycle. It combines the benefits of 3OP and M2, but with double the efficiency of M2!

 

[MichaelP.]

I prefer memoless BLD. You repeat the devils algorithm as fast as you can until your friend cough's, letting you know your done.

 

[Ashmnafa]

Has anyone tried M6 one-handed? It is 40% more efficient than M6, because you have to choose the optimal solution so your hand doesn't hurt.

 

[adimare]

but why male models?

 

[peterbat]

We can't forget about ME2, which is a hybrid between M2 and E2.

Yea ME2 is what I'm currently learning after starting with the very easy E2 method.

There is a page that shows you how to do E2 on the wiki.

If you're going to go for M2 variants like that, I recommend R2/M2. R2 for edges is crazy cool enough, but M2 for corners is INSANE.

yeah I've been practicing M4 for a while now and I have to say it's much better than M2. Maybe I should try the hybrid methods?
