For sub2 or sub1:30 you just have to turn slowly, and get a fixed S2L order so you can search and find your pieces better 
I also like doing F moves so I don't have to rotate

Exactly. That's how I got sub 2.

I've been trying this out lately, and I really like it. Anyone else use this? I talked to Brandon Lin and Robert Yau, and I think they both do.

Mega equivalence chart
So in mega what are the roughly equivalent times to 333 (eg. Like in 333 OH 40=~20 333)?
Or what is sub3/2/1 equivalent to if a cuber of similar 333 ability did a solve?
Sorry if it's a bit unclear but I've never been very good at written explanations (as many have probably already worked out).

I'm around 17 on 3x3 and 2:30 on mega. Don't know how that compares.

Do you practice it a lot, because if not, I have some catching up to do!

I practice by days. Megaminx day is Thursday.

Cool! What do you do for other days? How many solves would you do per day for mega?
The self discipline is strong with this one.
I'd do something like that but then for example if it was Skewb day I'd be like "ehhh nah I wanna do 5x5"

This is a really good idea. I might start doing this.
Edit: decided on 3-big-2-Mega-OH-Pyra-BLD, 3x3 on Sundays, will start after next comp.

How do I do what you two just did? I see it all the time but never learned how.
@Berd: I do: 4x4-Skewb & 5x5-Pyraminx-Mega-3x3 & OH-Whatever needs practice the most-Sunday is a day of rest I don't solve on Sundays.

Do you mean quote? If you're not on tapatalk there's a button on the bottom right of each post that looks like a speech bubble with quotation marks in it. This will take you to an automatic reply box with the quote already in the reply box.
It's slightly different on Tapatalk i think but i don't use it so you'll have to ask someone who does.

Practising on different days is a really good idea, I've never heard of anyone doing it like that before.
@MC1 do you find that you come back to an event stronger after a week off?

Okay thanks
Yeah I sometimes video too to critique solves, find out splits, and in general see how I can improve. Anticipation makes practice time more fun.

I was wondering if there are any people who are CN on megaminx, I know that there are tons of 3x3 CN people. But megaminx I feel that there are too many pieces and colours to make trying to be CN worth your time. Or even would it give much of an advantage?

I know that Rob Yau is colour neutral. Ya Da Hyun isn't tho.

Also Faz is I believe. I heard once that he borrowed someone else's mega at a comp, which had a different colour scheme to his own mega, and still set OcR (can someone back this up?)

I say I'm colour neutral but when I'm looking for a good start, the pieces with brighter stickers stand out more, so I think I tend to avoid darker stars most of the time. But I don't think I have any difficulty starting with darker stars.
