I really don't know anything about Sqaure 1 but, I saw they added some EP algs to Alg.db
Sorry if it sounds like that, it definitely doesn't, it's that a lot of people may find it easier than bld tracing (like me)This implies Cale's method obsoletes BLD tracing when it doesn't

Thanks but I have seen this method, and I like bld tracing much betterThis is the older method of csp tracing, which is similar to bld tracing. The newer method is by Cale Schoon and I find it easier to follow.
(all the cubeshape algs are in the description (not mine)).
For learning EP on square 1, I used this websitehttp://www.cubezone.be/square1step5.htmlI think this is the right thread?
I want to improve at Square-1, and I think I'll start at EP. The only alg I know for EP is a 13-slice long adjacent 2-swap algorithm, so I just use that a bunch of times to solve any EP case I get. I know this is horribly innefficient, so in what order should I learn new EP cases? As in which ones are essential, then once I've learned those which ones should I move on to?
And one more thing, is sarah.cubing.net a good place to learn Squan algs?

Yes efficiency comes with time, but for some cases it’a a lot easier to just learn the case like the scramble you showed: in this case, it’s much easier to change the bottom into shield shield or solve it into scallop scallop and then solve itSo I'm a square 1 noob (avg like 45-50) and I have been doing cubeshape by grouping all the edges. Today I learned what scallop-kite is, and practiced a little bit trying to do it intuitively, however very inefficiently. Does efficiency just come with practice? And can someone give an example of getting scallop kite on this scramble? Thanks!
(4, 0)/(2, 5)/(-5, 1)/(2, -4)/(-3, 0)/(-2, -3)/(-3, -3)/(1, 0)/(0, -4)/(-4, 0)/(2, 0)/(-2, -2)/
As Neil points out, in many cases the "scallop/kite" way is not the best.So I'm a square 1 noob (avg like 45-50) and I have been doing cubeshape by grouping all the edges.

Bump, also what are the biggest things to focus on when trying to become sub-30? And when is a good time to learn a better cubeshape than the one taught in beginner videos, should I learn it now or can I wait longer?What are the equivalents of sub-20, 15, and 10 on square-1? Are they the same as 3x3?
This is the 667th reply to this thread apparently

Ok! How important is knowing full CP?Advanced Cubeshape is very well suited for starting at the 40s. Know your CPs, EOs and get CO in two seconds or less.
My strategy was:
Be stuck at 50s
do 50+ Solves a day
be sub 25 after two weeks
