How should you learn megaPLL? Up until now i've been learing subsets with easy recog like parasol and chimney. My goal is to learn full PLL so I will learn every case but don't know if i should start with the easy ones, the hard or just learn them set by set (mushroom, horse face and bunny), any suggestions?

F2L ~26
S2L ~35
LL ~14
Total 1:15
What's good, what's bad, what can I improve? I use Balint S2L with a lot of freedom (any blocks in any order, almost).

With the "optimal" splits I've used (that may be totally wrong) everything is in order, I would practice S2L since it's the longest part and therefore would improve your times the most.

so i'm new to mega
what do people think of being color neutral, or at least partially color neutral?
Is choosing between multiple colors a waste of time? (since it gives you less time to plan your star)

I only know of one person who is colour neutral on mega (@Robert-Y) who is pretty much the most CN person ever and even he admits there's no real advantage to being CN on mega iirc so just pick a colour and go for it.
I find that I suck at planning the whole star regardless of colour neutrality, so I just plan a "2×2×2" block instead. I usually do white-yellow-purple-green-red or white-yellow-blue-red-green for F2L/S2L (up to the last two faces), but if I see nice blocks with yellow during inspection, I'll switch the order in which I do white and yellow.
(but also I average like 1:55 so don't treat this as advice or anything)

I think if you are planning on learning all of them, then there is nothing wrong with just going case by case.

If I recall correctly I dropped pretty quickly from 6:00+ to about 4:00 by switching from CN to white star. I'm down to around 3:30 now. I'm obviously no megaminx prodigy, so take my observations with a grain of salt, but I think the bigger difference than planning the star is knowing exactly which pieces I'm looking for at each stage of the solve.

What's the best, limiting regrips and do weird F-style moves or do tons of regrips and only do R and U moves?

Maybe learning to finger trick f moves?

I do already, but it seems like most fast people don't do it. Compare my videos to Sam Myungs and Simon Westlunds, it's like we're using completely different methods.

My XMD sculpture getting catched up often while turning. Any thoughts to overcome?

Get a cheap shengshou that doesn't cornercut, and solve on in for a while to improve your turning accuracy.

Shengshous are pretty nice imho.
The pearl and aurora are pretty good, but the original locked up badly before being florian modded.

What splits would you suggest for a 2:20 solve?
Isaac Lai

You don't really need to worry about splits at this speed. Just do ~50 solves and you'll probably be sub-2 already.
