And loads of practise doing the cross blindfolded.

Can someone tell me where I can find a good Super Square-1 tutorial?

 

[vcuber13]

solve the inner 2 as a square-1, then the outter 2 as a square-1

Thanks.

Which other (if any...) fast 5x5 solvers pair edges like Erik does, or similar? I guess it's called AVG. He pairs on the M slice, but I basically do what he does on the E slice. I did my edges this way long before I found out that Erik did.

I ask because everyone uses free slice. It doesn't seem to me that I could ever get my free slice times as good as my AVG times. If it's not called AVG, it's just 2 at a time.

Maybe I'm stoopid, but I kind of need this illustrated for me.

When using 3OP+M2 and you have corner permutation parity, what do you do to fix this? I'm trying to figure out how to do this without stuffing up the edges. E.g. I memo edges. All good. Then I memo corners, and find out I have parity. If I executed corners and then did a 2/2 swap, wouldn't the edges that I just memoed be wrong?

My brain hurts.

If your corner buffer is ULB, then perform an R perm once you've solved corners to swap UL and UB, as well as UBR and URF. Then solve edges normally. Once edges are solved, do U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U, followed by that same R perm again.

(This is assuming that for your last corner you simply use a PLL to swap your buffer with the unsolved corner, also swapping UL and UB in the process.)

If you solve edges first, all you have to do is U' F2 U M2 U' F2 U in between edges and corners.

Hope this helped.

How can I slow my guhong down?

 

[Thompson]

Tighten it I think. I don't have one though so it might not work.

How can I slow my guhong down?

A drop or two of mefferts lube.

why do people hate erik?

Why am I so bad at 5x5 centres?

Don't cut corners at all if I do that. Thanks for the suggestion though.

I'll try shock oil. Cheers.

youre better than me so i'm the one who should be asking this

 

[vcuber13]

ya but my centres take like 50 second for a 2:45 solve

Does the Maru 4x4 come pre-lubed?

 

[vcuber13]

no, but it comes with a bottle of maru lube.

 

[That70sShowDude]

no, but it comes with a bottle of maru lube.

What's the easiest way to lube it? I'm scared to take it apart, because of how hard it is to put together.

 

[vcuber13]

just like corner cut half way then put 2 or 3 drops in, and do it in a few places

Whats the best way to memo edges? (M2)
Limeback / Emiles way seems quite hard.

Best square 1 tutiorial? i tried thrawsts but it was way too quick and general. at least for me :/
