Don't discourage him, it is an exalent tool for learning.

I think he was asking about in competition, but that is what I did when I started out.

Of course not.

Thanks, I was just wondering because I've never been to a comp before and I have one coming up soon

Wow that was comprehensive, thank you very much

Any one who frequents the OAQT will know that I have been asking an inordinate amount of questions over the past little while I am an "angry noob" who is trying to learn and I appreciate the patience and the breadth of knowledge from the members of this site.

And are the mefferts 4x4x4 and 5x5x5 any good anymore?

I would just break it up into small parts like you would do if you are learning a whole new algorithm, then practice it until you have it down. It does feel quite different, but in a way it feels also quite similar. (I don't know if that makes any sense at all )

There are only 21 PLL's, this includes mirrors.
In the most common algs you will find some that are actually mirrored, some are just totally different algs (to keep them finger tricky).
Just see which ones you like best.

Personally I like mirrors, just "let the other hand to the work"

Usually i am stuck by my Lubix Zanchi, its smooth awesome, and very fast. Yesterday i received a few new cubes, the Guhong v2, and the LingYun V2. NOw first off, the guhong feels like a zanchi that has been dropped at the beach. But the LingYun surprised me, and i seriously like it. Only slight issue is that the stickers are slightly smaller, not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but for now when i pick my zanchi back up, it feels much easier to find pieces. Anyway, long story short, can i get/put bigger stickers on the LingYun, and are there any recomended mods to make either cube better? The LingYun is right on the edge of becoming my new main, but i feel it needs just a slight push before it gets that promotion.

I don't know if you know this but the Lingyun is actually about one mm smaller tan the other Dayan cubes and that's maybe why you think the stickers are smaller...

 

[applemobile]

I am aware its smaller, hence it having smaller stickers. But there is still a large gap around the sticker to the edge of the cubie.

 

[Godmil]

Yeah bigger stickers should be fine, I was never a fan of the smaller stickers on the lingyun.

Lanlan

Mefferts cubic puzzles are terrible in my opinion.

ok. people have been telling me to slow down my turning to get better solves, but now i've just gotten slower overall, am I missing the point, or can someone explain it to me?

Do you pause a lot while fast turning?

 

[storebought]

you mean to look around? yes I guess so....

Then you've just answered your question.

 

[JohnLaurain]

The point of slow turning is to never have a pause. Then, you slowly work up your tps until you're at your normal speed without pauses. It takes a while, but will lower your times substantially.

Is it possible to buy a stackmat (V2 or Pro, must have data port) and a stackpod in the same place? Speedstacks doesn't sell the stackpod anymore, and I don't feel like spending $100 per display
