Skewb help!
Currently average around 7-9 seconds with a MoYu/Sarah's Intermed. I want to be sub 6 by mid September, suggestions?

Learn the algs (not really necessary for sub 6) or just get hour recognition down, Sarah's intermediate is well enough to get sub 6

Try and improve first layer efficiency because low movecount>spamming TPS

-Be color neutral and do efficient layers
-Practice sledge
-One-look OLL
-Predict where top center will be in inspection
-Learn to skip H-perms. You can also avoid Z-perms and H-perms if you have a peanut case. Watch Jay's tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq11g-xnH1Q
-Get recognition time down
-Rotationless U-perm helps
Hope I didn't miss anything. I was sub 7 in less than a month when I got my first skewb.

If I know the H and Z perms, is it better to skip them or just do them? I use Kirjava-Meep's algorithms for H and Z perms, but I recently switched to Sarah Intermediate. Also, how do you do a rotationless U perm?

Skip H-perms, don't skip Z perms. Also, please don't do rotationless U-perm. In my opinion (and I think many people agree), the U-perm with rotations is easier to get fast, and faster in the long run.
What are rotationless U perms? Are they just a sledge and another sledge performed on the back from the front?

Yeah.

I use the rotationless U perm and its good, though it's no different from the standard Polish sledge.

Imo the way I do rotationless Uperm is the fastest way (unless you are Rami and basically have no noticable rotation).

And you can even use the sledge from the back finger trick for the hedgeslammer H perm skip case.
Speaking of which, how do you guys fingertrick sledge y2 hedge? The y2 sucks

I start from the hedge angle and do sledge from back then hedge.

I figured out rotationless U-perm fingertricks myself.
You can skip H-perm 99% of the time. Because in intermediate you reduce every case to a pi case, and it's easy to skip H-perm from there. You will have OLL skips every once in a while, and you might have an H-perm that way. Sledge y2 hedge y2 sledge, rotationless, is how I do it.

Just do the rotation to skip Hperm.

This is the best H perm I have come across.

75% of the people I talked to at the comp I went to this weekend had no idea what Ranzha's method was.
Hm.

On the bright side, I got a 7.45 official average with it!
