Megaminx sub-5 min.

Hi!
I'm wondering how to get sub-5 on megaminx. The videos and tutorials I've seen are for sub 1-3 minutes, but not anything for sub-5. Is it just practice, or is there something else?

Until sub5 it's only a matter of practice imo. What helped me to get sub4 (and sub3) was just to solve it by pairs, not corners and edges separately (which is kind of obvious, so I guess if you already do that you should be fine reaching sub3 with just practice).

You don't even need a good last layer system, I'm still using a crappy one.

1) do F2L and learn a decent S2L method (or make up your own if you want)
2)learn a passable LL method. It doesn't even have to be very good.
3) practise.

You really won't need anymore than this until you get to sub-2 or maybe even further.

Have an s2l solving order. It helps.
