Does anyone use a method like 1-flip but with two flipped edges? Here are the algs:

R' L U' R U' L
(U) L' U R' U L' R
L' R' L' U' R U R'
[L'] L U' R' L R U'
R' L' d L' U L
(U') R' U L' R' U L'
R L d' R L
L' R' d L' R'
L R' d' L' R
R' L d R L'

I feel like this could be really useful. Sort of like EG1 and 2 on 2x2.

Are the algs good for 3 flipped edges?

I generated 2 or 3 cases with 3 flipped and they were terrible (like 8 moves)

Is the new magnet oyra any good?

R L d' R L

L R' d' L' R
R' L d R L'

I've messed with it. I only ever use the five move cases. intentionally placing two edges in the top that you will for sure have to take back out is pretty inefficient.

I just put some pyraminx algs on my recently published website: http://solve-that-cube.weebly.com/
Thought I'd mention it here

Nice.
Although, for the L3E cases, I think you should have alternative algs for the last 2. Personally, I think R' L R L2' U L U' and its mirror are better for those. They're rotationless and flow pretty well.

I'm trying to get sub 5 with 1 flip but average around 5.5-6 should I learn oka or practice 1 flip?

Both. Oka is pretty straight forward, it's a good idea to know it.

2 months before i got my pyraminx.i learned the lbl method at first i was becoming like sub 15 and after 1 week i was sub 10 or 9 one day i was watching at dg cubes channel and i saw a tutorial on the method l4e and after that i became like sub 8 one day isaw a tutorial on keyhole but i did 'nt like it that's why i did 'nt use it but i know how to use it .1 day i was practising and i saw a really simple scramble of keyhole and i got a sub 3 single and after that i learned 1 flip but after learning one flip i was not getting times that i normally get .That is why i want to know which method i should use.

Why isn't there an option to vote for both on the poll?

If you go down one flip you need more methods watch the cubing world on how to get fast with pyramid but so far sub 3 has only happened with top firsy

Can't tell if that is a joke or not, but 3/7 of the official sub 3 averages are done with v-first (l4e). Nobody is officially sub 3 with just one flip though.

 

[DGCubes]

Both top-first and V-first are viable methods. Pick the one that you personally like better and find easier for you to grasp and improve on, and it will be able to get you really good averages. Personally, I prefer V-first just because I understand it well and it works perfectly for me.

How can i get faster at pyraminx i practice a lot and i still average Mid 8s High 7s I use LBL should i switch to L4E I really want to get faster and seeing myself get slower is kind of depressing.
Thanks in Advance!

It doesn't matter if you switch to L4E or not, but to improve, there are two extremely important factors:
1. Efficient V's/layers
In inspection, try to find the best block building moves from how the centres and edges fit together. Don't just solve centres, then insert edges. Try the fewest moves possible.

2. Look ahead - generally in inspection
After not only spotting your first edge piece in block building, looking ahead and finding the second and third pieces really help. Even if you do not know exactly where a piece will be, you should roughly know.
This will also avoid those nasty unnecessary rotations.

If you work on these points along with lots of practice, you will improve a lot.

I got a question. I going to my first competition next saturday and I want to know if this solves are a DNF or a +2 or nothign

I would say that they are both fine

Could I have the link to the LL algs on the pyraminx?

Can't seem to find it on Wiki.
