Welcome to our monthly discussion thread!
Anything cubing related is welcome.
I haven’t memorized the algorithm for the 3x3. I just solve by muscle memory. Don’t know exactly what I should be doing to get better.
It depends on what better means for you. What’s your goal?
You can either check CFOP or Roux methods. Both are top-level cubing. CFOP is more algorithm oriented and might be closer to what you know, Roux is more “intuitive” with fewer algorithms.
Well I suppose my goal is to get faster. But other than that I have no idea. But thank you for the advice. I’ll try one and see if it makes a difference.
Just curious, how are you solving it right now? Is it beginner’s method?
I downloaded the Rubik’s cube official guide and did the solve so often that I have just learned how to manipulate the cube from muscle memory. If asked to explain how to solve one I would not be able to. But if you hand me a cube I can do the necessary moves to solve it.
Hi y’all. Looking for true beginner YT channel recommendations please. 99% of what I find are channels which say they’re posting for beginners, but then make 12 turns in .5 seconds and say, “see?”. No dude, I could not see what you just did. Thanks!
For YouTube channel, I generally find JPerm to be the clearest
Maybe PDFs/static websites would be better for you? Something like this. For me, especially once I get to learning OLLs and PLLs or any longer algs, it’s easier to just read rather than watch someone do it
Great suggestion, thanks I’ll check all of that out
Oh I just remembered, JPerm also has a website with written tutorials: https://jperm.net/3x3. I’m actually using it (https://jperm.net/algs/2look/oll) cos it lets you easily mark which ones you’ve learned or currently learning
