Best sq 1 on lightake: Either Mf8 or Cubetwist, both have their pros and cons.
Best pyraminx: QJ.

What is the best 4x4 K4 method tutorial on youtube?

Heh. There aren't really any good ones, just learn from the text tutorial on Kirjava's webpage.

Whats the best sq 1 and pyraminix on lightake

The CubeTwist is a bit faster, but it also has a loose feel and pops a bit more... I don't have a CubeTwist, but I tried my friend's. Personally, I prefer my Mf8 Square-1 because although slower, it is still very fast and it feels overall more stable.

I'm trying to BLD using Old Pochmann. Maybe I'll try M2 later.
Would you recommend memoing colours (YO BR GW etc) like in badmepisto's vid, or giving each sticker, except buffers, a letter and memoing that?

I give each sticker a letter

I need some better OLLs for these cases,

I use F' L' U' L U L' U' L U F'

I use r' R2 U R' U R U2 R' U r R'

I use y2 l' U' l L' U' L U l' U l

I use M U' (L' U' L U) (L F' L' F) M'


The ones which I use i find them really slow,i checked the wiki for some better algs,but i have no idea which are the most common ones.Thanks

I use a sequence of taps, starting with the buffer piece.

Use letters,may take some time assigning letters to each sticker,and remembering them side by side,but it works well.

letters is easy because you just make a sentence

Does anyone know Kirjava's super awesome all edges are bad algorithm?

anyone?

 

[Julian]

I just did edges BLD for the first time

 

[uberCuber]

anyone?

Don't you think it would be easier just to PM him when nobody is giving you an answer here?

Hey.

So I got my dayan guhong. It feels "clicky" when I turn it.
Any recommendations on what to do, or mods? Or does it just need breaking in?

Alright, this has a few questions all pertaining to the magic:
1. In a competition, has is the magic set up on the table before the competitor starts? Is it placed touching the timer, away from the timer and is it forcefully flattened beforehand?
2. For timing, how would you set up your hands? Like, fingertips on the timer, palms?
3. Is there any mods that can be done to the magic that will allow it to move any easier? I trimmed down the inner corners of the tiles and that helped a little bit.
4. Does anyone have a video, or link to one, of someone demonstrating the no-regrip method in slow motion?
5. does anyone have a video, or link to one, of faster solves (preferably less than 1 second) in slow motion?

I decided to try and get fast at the magic, my best time so far (today was the first time I tried going fast) is 1.86, I'd like to to an AO100 and see if I can drop that to sub 1.5.

Assuming you're right handed:
Last one: y2 F R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F2
First one: Same alg but from the back might be good.

One of the strings just popped off of my magic, it's not broken but I have not clue how to reattach it:

Any help?

I'm assuming it has to go behind the orange corner on the bottom right tile, I jsut can't get it though...

EDIT: nevermind, I got it.

Lubricate it with Jigaloo, Lubix, or Maru lube.

1)Away from the timer, flattened.
2)Look at your fingers and see where the first bend in the bones are from the palm are? I have those resting on the stackmat.
3)Stretch the magic enough so that it stretches the strings, but BE CAREFUL NOT TO BREAK IT.
