Is there a site that shows how to do commutators for 2x2 edge cycles on 4x4? (2 sets of 2 cycles)
And yes I know about Kirjava's site

Also, is the Maru 4x4 worth the $25? Or should I get the YJ for $10?

I average 16-19 sec on 3x3.
My f2l takes 11-13 sec. My top layer takes 5-7sec.
i use intuitive f2l, 2 look oll, and 1 look pll.
What should i improve?

Definitely F2L. You should be getting that with cross, so F2L alone should be at least consistently sub-10.

@Neo63
Do you suggest i learn algorithm f2l.
What do you meen by getting that with cross.

What most people suggest is that you look up the algs and see what they do, but don't actually memorize them (in the conventional sense). This way you can see how to do certain cases more optimally.

This is an off topic question but what do you suggest for a good warrior name?

And revealing that just ruined your little inside joke.

What does LA mean in lighttake?

Almost all the magics are LA.

LA= Lingao

I have the second one. It's the same size as a Rubik's Magic but it has a tint of green, which I don't like, but that's just my opinion.

The first one is a little bit smaller if you compare the dimensions. And a little bit smaller than http://www.lightake.com/detail.do/sku.LA_8_in_1_Sheet_LA_Magic_IQ_Test_Cube_Red-26782, which is another one that I have.

I have small hands so I prefer the smaller one.

I perform F' with my right thumb. I find performing it with my left index is awkward. Is this a habit I should change, or is it fine?

 

[RyanReese09]

whatever works for you. I know badmephisto does it with the thumb, i use left index though

RH index finger push on RFU ftw. In some algorithms it's by far the most efficient fingertrick to use, like the R U R' F' in J perms or Fanwuq's R perm. It also flows really nicely with the normal R perm (check out my R perm on my channel).

Unless you have something such as an algorithm that you feel an index push would be favorable, then I'd just keep to that.

What's with all the hate for Pogobat's beginner method video? He's not a pro by any means, but the tutorial is fine for beginners.

Oh, badmephisto uses his thumb? I never noticed!

I you take a look at the comment, you'll see that the tutorials are hard to follow, they give people "headaches". Also, he uses vaseline, which is the worst lube choice. Lastly, in his method, he does PLL first then OLL, which makes the transition into Fridrich harder, as Fridrich does OLL then PLL. Badmephisto's beginner method is similar to the Fridrich method, thus make transition easier, as his beginner method does OLL then PLL.

After removing the stickers on a cube, what can I clean the plastic with?
The sides are pretty sticky.
I don't really want to disassemble the cube.
