Is learning EO for L2F worth learning at 54-55 seconds or is it too late?

iirc Odder said that it wasn't even a good method. He just uses it because it's fun.

I can confirm that. But seriously, it IS fun.

What's the best way to transition to the OLL PLL version of 4lll?

I assume you mean as opposed to EO -> EP -> CP -> CO?

I learnt the cases from this video. You'll (probably) be pleasantly surprised at how much you know already

I just learnt the recog, and then switched all at once (did a few practise LL solves first, but other than that it was pretty much straight in)

Brilliant! Thanks Ryan!

Well, this thread needs a revival. :>

I started doing megaminx again after a long time and now average 2:18. (blech)
I was wondering if sub-10 on 3x3 is equivalent to sub-1 on mega. If that is true, then what is the equivalent on sub-20 on mega?

Too few people are sub-1 on megaminx for it to be considered sub-10

Where can I find good megaminx OLLs and PLLs?

Hi, I have a megaminx, and I've been searching the net for a good site where there are complete megaminx olls and plls, but I couldn't find any good ones. Can any of you help me? Thanks.

Next time please use this, https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?50247-One-Answer-Other-Question-Thread
or google. You can literally just type megaminx oll pll, and find several good resources.

If you're looking for 2 look, don't bother, it's over 400 algorithms.

If he's seriously into Mega though, 3 look is worth it.

I kinda came up with a method last night don't know if anyone's ever thought of it before and didn't feel like perusing this whole thread. So basically u make F2L, then make a second F2L on the opposite face, then solve the stuff in between. I can solve it completely intuitively this way except for the aid of a commutator for the last 3 corners.

I tried it and it's more a challenge than a method xD took me 7-8 minutes, I usually average around 1:02, so it's terrible Thanks for the challenge though

Algs for pure edge flips on top layer of megaminx?

 

[Isaac Lai]

How do you stop a dayan megaminx from catching?

 

[cashis]

Would yall suggest doing the same order of slots every solve, or being CN and doing whatever pops up?

I think you really can't, that's y I use a mf8

do the same slots every time. Then you can see your next pair better

Algs for pure edge flips on top layer of megaminx?

adjacent flip: (L F R' F' L') U2' (R U R U' R2' U2 R)
opposite flip: R' U' R (L F R' F' L') U2' (R U R U' R2' U2' R)
4-flip: F (R U' R2' U2') R F (R U R2' U') F' U2 R U F'

What is the easiest way to do Megaminx LL for someone who uses CFOP on 3x3? (read: learn least new algorithms)

The edge orientation algs are the same as 3x3.
Most of the corner orientation algs are sune inside a sexy move or sexy inside a sune. You don't need to learn them all. If you don't know the case, just do sune and get a new case.
Two of the edge permutation algs are like sune, but with R2 instead of R. Two of the others are related to U-perm algs on the 3x3. If you get the 5th case, cycle 3 edges to get a different case.
For corner permutation, just use commutators.

 

[rollerking321]

Can someone post <F,R,U> algs for all cases on this page?
