My Cubing Journey

Focusing on Pyraminx and Megaminx for now, I'm averaging 6 for Pyraminx and 3:00 for Megaminx(with beginners LL). I suppose I'll have to learn 4lll for Mega, but any other tips? Also I finished an Ao100 for Pyraminx a while ago, here are the results:

Oh dang Megaminx 4lll is 36 algs, any alternatives other than doing EO, EP, CO, CP?
 
Owen Morrison said:
you don't need any new algs for CO and CP, you can just use T perm , Y perm and J perm to permute the edges.

Are you sure I don't need new algs for CO and CP? Looking at CubeSkills, they don't look like any algs I know. FYI, currently I'll do EO with normal 3x3 4lll algs, then I'll permute edges with Sune(usually takes 2 algs), then do CO with sexy and CP with R U R' and R U' R'
 
for CO, you just use OLL algs for 3x3, most are variations of sune, and for CP, I do a z' rotation and then pull out a corner with U' R' U drag it's right spot over and insert it back then with U' R U.

EDIT, also I meant EP and CP not CO and CP.

Oh okay, so for CP you basically do what I do?
 
Owen Morrison said:
that depends on what you do.

I'll put the LL on bottom, then use R U R' to take a corner out, do some D moves, then insert the corner where it belongs, then insert the corner that is now not in the LL, etc.

Edit: If you don't understand, just watch the very end of J Perm's tutorial, that's what I do
 
I jammed my middle and ring fingers on my right hand last night, and it's around 1:00 PM now, they still hurt and are swollen, I'm not going to be able to do anything other than OH for at least a few days :(. Oh, and I can also do 15 Puzzle apparently :P

On the good side, I'm kind of going to be forced to practice OH if I want to cube at all, so I'm hoping that I start to like it, and I'm probably gonna be able to get under the 40 second cutoff at Southeast champs this year. Right now I'm averaging around 50ish seconds, although my times vary from 40-1:00. I'm not gonna bother learning any new algs, because I can do my H and Z perms fine. I am going to learn the RU U-perms though, because It's really awkward to do an M and U's, plus I need them anyway for bigger cubes. I can do all my algs except E-Perm fine, although I had trouble at first with the ones that started with an x/x' but I executed with a wide move. Oh, and I guess I'll start using fringing for 15 puzzle when I get tired of OH lol
 
Make sure you know fingertricks, then just spam lots of algorithms was what I did. FRU are your main layers you turn for CFOP, so practise that a lot. T Perm works well, remember to alternate.
 
lol crushed my SS comp PBs, they were all table abuse crazy. Got overall PB on solve #5 with 35.58! I choked so hard on PLL today, #2-#4 should've also been sub-40, got the Ua(the one I don't know RU, I use a beginner's alg with a bunch of F2s) the first two and then on #4 got OH amnesia for E-Perm, ended up doing 2-look there. #5 was a Y-perm, and while I didn't do it great, it was good enough. I need to get better with my PLLs for OH(I'm not gonna learn many new ones, just use the ones I have), and also really need to work on my F' fingertrick. I know a good one(use left pointer to push), but keep not doing it in the middle of a solve
 
Sorry for so many posts in a row lol, but I just got a STUPID OH time: 22.43!! Solid F2L into FRURUF PLL skip, this is so stupid XD

Edit: Can't seem to reconstruct it, although there are a lot of good solves that came from it. Here's the scramble: L' F2 R2 B2 R F2 R' F2 D2 L U2 R2 D' B' F U' B2 F L' R B2

Can you give me anymore details about it. I'm bored and want to try to reconstruct. For example, which cross? Do your remember anything about which XCross, which free slot, and anything memorable in F2L?
