so i just solved my first ever megaminx today, since i had one laying around stuck in f2l since i was lazy to learn it, now i watched j perm's tut and now i kinda know how it works! also when i get a bit better im planning to get the yuhu. and my megaminx is the qiheng, the worst-turning megaminx

i have one on my youtube channel, lemme link a vid below

you're crazy fast!

 

[lucazdoescubingstuff]

also is there a thing as intermediate cfop? does it mean knowing all PLLs or something

 

[d---]

Pretty sure it means having an algorithm for each case and being able to use that instead of going intuitively

Plus full oll, pll, and an efficient cross solution

then whats advanced cfop? zbll n stuff?

 

[d---]

Isn't really an advanced method, but could learn 1lll, ZBLL, etc. to improve your times

Technically, full CFOP is cross, f2l, Full OLL and full PLL. Stuff like ZBLL and COLL are add ons to CFOP. for example, if you use full ZBLS and ZBLL then you use the ZB method

how do you guys do 3x3 match the scramble?

 

[d---]

You need 2 cubes for it. You do the scramble on one, then time yourself to recreate it from a solved cube.

what i meant was like the method and stuff

 

[NmeCuber]

what i meant was like the method and stuff

I build first layer, then insert edges (instead of doing f2l) then orient edges, permute edges, orient corners, permute corners, pretty slow though

 

[lucazdoescubingstuff]

i think im getting worse times now, i havent really practiced that much rip.. but im not quitting!

 

[Arcanist]

Isn't really an advanced method, but could learn 1lll, ZBLL, etc. to improve your times

1lll isn't really plausable as it takes so long to learn and recognizing the case + ergonomics are not good.

 

[lucazdoescubingstuff]

im switching my main to the 356 but prolly OH main to 13 what do you guys think

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

I think that it does not matter in the slightest at your level
