All mega is is 3x3 with f2l 100 times

False. There is much more room for blockbuilding and creative pairing because you have a lot more flexibility on megaminx (which is because there many more sides than 3x3). You clearly have little experience with megaminx to think that it's just F2L over and over.

 

[SH03L4C3]

ya, sure

ya, sure

why don't you watch owen's megaminx PB reconstruction?

How ironic that a thread about arguing is better natured than many others that aren't. I feel I should teach you all a lesson in arguing though it doesn't really feel appropiate right now. Maybe next year.

5x5 is defenitlely better than mega

Megaminx is better for a few reasons.
1. More creative with F2L and S2L.
2. No centers to solve
3. Nobody likes 5x5

You can compete in event without liking it. A lot of people don't care about 2x2, but they compete anyway.

Still alot of people like 5x5

Probably just as many as megamimnx. Mega is actually a different event, so people don't just compete in it unless they want to. On the flip side, 5x5 is another NxN, and I think people feel the need to compete in all NxNs, even though some of them suck.

megaminx is cool, but it looks hard. I might get one in the future.

it's not hard, actually. 4x4 is harder imo because you have to learn edge pairing/center building concepts

I think that 4x4 might be easier to learn, if not just for the notation. However, @Nir1213 definitely get a megaminx soon, as the event is very fun. A lot of people like the Yuhu v2 M.

Once I learned 3x3, my dad got me a megaminx because I've if my dad's colleague's son is a speedcuber and said it was the right next challenge

5x5 is my favorite event because yau(not yau5) is fun, the centers are just right, the edges are fun, i have a celeritas valk 5 m(ok, i just love this cube, sry), I don't struggle finding the pieces, and it has the best method diversity IMO(Yau, Yau5, Hoya, Redux with E slice, Redux with M slice), and the methods are all good.

I agree that 5x5 is the "best" event, but 2x2 is my personal favorite.

I want to hear what you like about 2x2! Is it the algs, the speed, the simplicity? Also what methods do you use? I use lbl or ortega depending on what mood I am in

While 2x2 is not my favorite, I can see why someone would like it. It is easy to be good at, much more than 3x3, and it's an easy thing to practice and grind out solves. The hardware is also extremely good, with pretty much every 2x2 being good, and there is really nothing to not like.
