Isn't the v-cube 5x5 better than Mefferts?
Also, is this the megaminx I should get or this this? I don't really want to glue tiles on myself, and the megaminx that says for speedcubing is out of stock. Does the loose caps one have LOOSE caps, or do they mean already taken off for you?

I use old pochmann and I can execute quickly and efficiently BUT memorization is slow...slow but effective.

I have assigned every corner sticker a letter from A-Z and likewise with the corners.

Then I make up sentences.

It's what works best, but it is still hard to memo with. What do you do?

From what I've heard, yes.

I do this as well. I make up ridiculous words though, so it's easier to memorize. You could also try the journey method, which I heard was good.
Last question, I promise as long as the megaminx question gets answered: V-cube 5x5 and 6x6, or a gigaminx? I have an eastsheen 5x5, and it will be an x-mas present so money shouldn't be a factor.

I'd go for the v-cubes. They're much looser (which means less frustrating, more fun) and take much less time to solve than the gigaminx. Maybe it's just me, but I don't really enjoy struggling to turn a puzzle for half an hour.

How reliable is popbuying? How does it compare to cube4you? I've bought most of my cubes from cube4you (about 5 orders) and have had no problems, but since they're not selling mini QJ's anymore I'm thinking about making my next order in popbuying. I want A, C and F 3x3s, a QJ 4x4 and a mini QJ 4x4. should I get all these from popbuying or just the QJ's and get the 3x3's from cube4you?

Classic Pochmann
I'm starting to learn this as well. I'm not looking for speed, I'm looking for consistency. I'd like to be able to start learning the solving without worrying so much about memory. I'm okay with solves taking forever and a year. Anyone have some memory methods that might be better for that? I know that they differ in effectiveness for each person, of course, but maybe somewhere to start? Thanks in advance!

Partial Edge Control Help

I have been following theWestonian's tutorial on partial edge control on YouTube. This is basically like ZBF2L except you only control a select number of edges. If you know what I am talking about, then I have a question on how to pair up an edge and a corner that is already able to be inserted with R U R'. I know I'm not explaining this very well, but if you know what I am talking about, then please reply!!!

Thanks,

Try R U' R' & next time use the one answer question thread.

Wait, so I'm ALWAYS supposed to ask questions on the "one answer question thread"?¿? I didn't know that I was supposed to do it on ONE thread only. Sorry for misunderstanding.

Questions that will only have one answer should usually go in there. If you want multiple opinions make a thread.

How do mast people do M2's?

Does that mean most or fast? I do them as two M''s. Sometimes I wrist though, r'2 R2, but that's just me.

I do R', put ring finger on UB, then ring finger to DF together with R.

Some people say that it's QJ, some people say that it's miniQJ.
I have QJ but somehow I don't like it so much. I haven't tried any other 4x4 either -.-

Is it worth purchasing a SlickCube if you already own a C4Y DIY?

 

[AndyRoo789]

How do you make OLLs using cube explorer?

^

Also, If the max amount of moves needed to properly do the cross is 8, then what would be the max amount of moves needed to do the cross without worrying about permutation? (Cross is done, but edges don't match up with centers)

Has anyone purchased any cubes off of ThinkGeek.com? They don't have a huge selection, but the have some nice stuff, and its in the states. they had a v7 up for $45.

well anyway, I was wondering because I bought 2 sq1's from them (got both for only $10) and I was wondering what brand they could be, or any info on them. thank you =)

Thinkgeek even has a gigaminx!!
