What to do after learning basic FMC stuff?

[Discomantis]

So today I learned NISS, block building, and pseudo blocks, and I was wondering what to do after that. I've never done any FMC attempts aside from one that was a DNF. Should I do an FMC attempt or should I learn other things first? (Also I know commutators and EO.) I don't know if there is an FMC thread because I couldn't find one but if there is can someone please move this post to there?

My 2 cents

FMC: a Complete Tutorial

I have finally finished this huge tutorial. It gathers every known technique in one place (I hope I didn't miss anything). Disclaimer: English is not my first language, so there may be mistakes or poorly written parts. Also, I haven't read it through a second time, so there may be typos as well...

This is my friend's advice: (@Zacian1516)

He says to give up on FMC because it's impossible to beat the WR and it sucks

I agree

 

[Cuber987]

No but actually I don't know anything about it ask somebody else

You would want to learn HTR (Half Turn Reduction). The first step of HTR is DR (Domino Reduction). So start with learning DR with the corners first, edge insertions solutions first. Then you can move to HTR.

EO then DR and HTR but only if your serious about being good. If not just add EO starts with block building into your repertoire.

There are people who are world class using DR almost exclusively. DR is definitely a must if you wish to be advanced in FMC.

Yeah particularly HTR. IIRC an analysis found that over a large sample, there were almost no scrambles where the optimal solution was not found through a HTR approach

Go to FMC discord and start asking questions.

Understand DR concepts.
