Megaminx

[Artem Tabaliuk ( Артём )]

I'm looking to improve my Megaminx. Any tips are appreciated. For the record I'm learning 4LLL.
Cube: Dayan Megaminx V2
Average: 3.30 Minutes
Single: 2.14 Minutes
Goal: Sub 1:30 Minutes

Really focus on your efficiency and try using block building techniques during F2L and even more importantly S2L. Experiment with different solutions and see what suits you best

Get better at 3x3, learn F2L if you havent already, and practice. At this stage IMO being efficient doesn't even matter, just doing solves alone should get you to Sub 1:30 at least

Yeah. That's why I used to do Roux I thought it would help on Mega with the block building, but in the long run F2L would help more. I think the thing i struggle with is finding pieces, so i should like see more in inspection

I do intuitive F2L and for me it's easier than just learning all the F2L Cases.

Just practice and do solves to learn more about how pieces move around on the puzzles.

Google is not giving me ANY good answers at all, how do you scramble megaminx??? On this forum weekly comp only 6 faces get scrambled and should be more than that why can i not find the right answers ANYWHRE

Maybe you don't know that the D++, D--, R++ and R-- are double-wideturns.

Just look what twizzle does with the first scramble of this week (2026-16):

That makes A LOT MORE sense, thanks you!

I got an idea where to find an answer and indeed it is even more than a simple hint how to scramble a Megaminx:
