How do you disassemble and lube a 2x2, I can't seem to find good videos...

Some help please?

what's the best OH h-perm?

i know R2U2R2U2R2UR2U2R2U2R2U', but that alg makes me cry on the inside.

is the usual M'2U'M'2U'2M'2U'M'2 alg any good when you have a table and mat to work with?

Try R2 U2 R U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R U2 R2, same # of moves but 1 double turn less and perhaps you like the different "rythym" of the alg

I use the RUL one executed as such: r x R U2' R' r' u' U' R2 U z' R

I second that alg.

Is that actually RUL?

Which method is suitable for 4 x 4 cube?(edge)
3-3-2-2-2or3-2-2-2-3?

I am no expert but I believe the latter (3-2-2-2-3) is more common but both are fine. The nice thing with 3-2-2-2-3 is that you only pair up 2 at the end and the third automatically gets paired as well. I haven't really tried 3-3-2-2-2 though so no comment on that

ok quick 4 questions here

my 3x3x3 solve breakdown avg of 5 is roughly

f2l- 30 seconds ( with 2nd layer taking most time)
oll- 10 seconds
pll- 5 seconds

which should I improve on? is there certain methods i can use for each one, or is there one method i can use that is easy to learn and covers all?

at my stage (45 second solver) is it useful to become color neutral?

and is E3Cubes canada a legitimate website? thanx

Definitely F2L-do slow turning, slow down, look ahead, watch how others do F2L on youtube. Learn intuitive F2L
if you're doing 4 look last layer try to figure out how to avoid dot cases in OLL like partial edge control or something.
The sooner you do color neutral the better.
E3Cubes canada is a good website.
EDIT: for OLL/PLL try to get sub 3 or sub 2 for every single case you know but work on f2l since it's holding you back the most.
generally I think you could practice doing solves without any pauses which is basically slow down enough so that you don't pause in the middle of a solve looking for pieces. When you do that you get solves where you're turning more and staring at the cube without turning it less and have a good chance of getting really good times.

Where can I buy a DIY Black Zhanchi with free and reliable shipping? Also, it needs to come with stickers.

Would it be weird if I made my picture on here of myself? I swear nobody does that xD

Do it. Just make it cool. I swear lots of people do it: Rowe, Zach, Bapao, Ernie and Emolover just to name a few.

I can say I know for a fact that emolover's picture is not of himself, but point taken.

Thank you! Would Silicube Lube work well with it? I'm thinking about getting this:

anything along the lines of diff oil, lubix, etc. works great

In cube explorer, is there any way to relatively quickly switch all the cubes from solver to generator? I don't feel like doing thousands upon thousands of clicks just to switch them around (I'm saving scrambles)

Talking about corners in Speffz notation, what are BUL, BRU, BDR, and BLD? Q, R, S, T, respectively?

EDIT: Is this it?

Q = BRU
R = BUL
S = BLD
T = BDR
