I'm starting to get bored with the events I currently can solve. What event should I learn?

Feel free to give your reasons in the comments.

I went from nüb to sub 10 at Skewb a day after I got it in the mail. I got sub 7 in the week after.

5x5 is a much longer event where improvement takes a lot longer, which makes everything so much more rewarding

 

[precompsubwr]

5x5 is cooler, but skewb is easier

 

[fes_77]

yknow you can also do nonwca events

like fto

 

[Curunír]

me think u shold lern 3bld but 5x5 is also good

 

[artless1der]

5×5 !!!!!

also, get a Meilong V2 6M 6×6 ($18 USD)
bcoz it is fun & uses the algs from 5×5 and parity algs from 4×4
and also bcoz doing a bigger cube always makes the smaller big cube easier

Yeah I never practise 5x5 but I get faster because I practise 7x7

Here are my personal thoughts on each event you don't do-

5x5-7x7- Just big cubes, quite popular but not for me. I just don't like how long they are.

Skewb- The beginner method is just spamming sledges, and the turning is hard to get used to. A much better event at a high level, but I'm not a fan.

Clock- I don't really like it, the beginner method is too easy and repetitive. Some people love Clock though, it's definitely worth trying.

Megaminx- Again slightly too long and repetitive for me, but kinda fun.

Square 1- Really fun, really hard.

3BLD- Not as hard to learn as it looks(although I won't claim that it's easy), but really rewarding, fun and interesting. Awesome event.

4BLD/5BLD/MBLD- You need to know 3BLD first.

FMC- A fun thing to do occasionally, although for most people not a serious event to practice.

Do skewb, the begginer's method is really easy with just one short alg, and the intermediate method is also easy with just 12 cases but no new algs, just sledges and hedges, and you can get sub 6 seconds with intermediate If you turn good and good recognition

 

[Isaiah Scott]

also use Yau

 

[FenTheGoat]

Do 5x5, skewb sucks ass

I’m surprised such profanity is allowed on the forums, but I wholeheartedly agree

I'll start training

 

[Lord_Oscar]

also use Yau

Oooh, Yeah, Nah.

I just can't be arsed to learn algs unless I really have to.

 

[Cubinginatree]

The only algs involved in 5x5 Yau is parity and the edge flipping alg which are also used in Redux. I would highly recommend using Yau for 5x5 and learning 5x5 in general. 5x5(especially with Yau) is extremely fun and interesting event.
