Megaminx lover's progression thread | Going for Gigaminx NR

[Megaminx lover]

First time since mid 2021 (not counting when comps first came back in late 2022) that i actually feel like learning new stuff and getting better
I think I've hit a wall for 3x3 and Ive also lost my cube so for the time being I'm doing mega and giga
Goals:
Finish learning CO (hopefully by tmrw)
Sub 1.30 or smth
Get a mega solve without dropping the cube (its really oily rn)

Day 1's ao5

the splits are
star/f2l/yellow s2l/blue s2l/red s2l/green and purple s2l/eo/co/ep/cp

Just for people to comment and improve

Also got a 16.28 for Giga, but I'm not really focussing on that until I get the Diansheng

co done, recog takes too long though

 

[Megaminx lover]

Got a teraminx, was going to try doing some speedsolves before trying 1 and realised my hand hurt even more then the time I tried to solve a 7x7 with 1 hand
I think I'll get used to the weight

Mega LL moment

 

[Megaminx lover]

Got a few cubes, including the aosu wrm
Miles better then the MGC imo I don't know why anyone uses that (can someone enlighten me?)

I like the teraminx puzzle.

I hope you enjoy it.

I like the teraminx puzzle.

I hope you enjoy it.

Only thing I dont like is that its too heavy and big. Other then that, I like it

[Megaminx lover]

I think im sub 2 in mega now...
if a actually good turning 4x4 comes out ill main it

I think you'd be faster if you didn't have to track so many splits in your solves…

Agreed. Just do splits for Star, F2L, S2L, Oll and PLL

 

[OreKehStrah]

Agreed. Just do splits for Star, F2L, S2L, Oll and PLL

Not even that. Just do F2L S2L LL is plenty

 

[TheSpeedSkewber]

Not even that. Just do F2L S2L LL is plenty

Not even that. I'd argue that at this stage you will just naturally get faster at lookahead, turning and understanding of the cube, and splits are unnecessary at this point, and just slow you down.

Thanks for the advice
