So addicted to Sq-1.

On topic; http://www.cstimer.net/timer.php
There are three options for the scrambles. I've been using twist metric all this time. Someone said "random state" is the official way. But the cubeshapes that come from the random state scrambles seem very limited and easy :S

Am I correct or has it just been a coincidence?

How should I improve my cubeshape? At the moment I do a star at the bottom and then use 5 algs to get it to a cube. This step is very slow for me, so I really nee to work on that.

(I also use some of the shortest shapes, like: kite-kite barrel-barrel kite-barrel etc)

Thanks

I suggest you start by looking at David Woner's video.

Then you definitely should learn all up to 4 twists shapes = 27 (not including mirrors & reflections). After that you look though every 5 & 6 twist shape and try to solve them intuitionally using what you have learned so far.

Check my sign for a list of all the shapes.

EDIT:

How do you recognize "O"?

Looks like a Cubetwist to me.

:fp Did you look at you look at the boxes and stands?

Take a plane trip to Kaohsiung, Taiwan and you'll see some there.
Anyway, I've tried some there and it's pretty much the same mech as the mf8 v1. (cuz i popped it in front of the store owner.)

Cool any online stores?
