The 2x2 is one of the easiest twisty puzzles to solve. Essentially, it’s just a 3x3 without edges and centers. However, while solving it may not be much of a challenge, getting faster and becoming competitive in 2x2 requires quite a lot of dedication and knowledge of hundreds of algorithms… Or does it? Keep reading to find out how you can average less than 3 seconds without learning any new algorithms.
Have you ever been cubing and come across a scramble so easy that it leaves you questioning the scrambling program that you’re using? Well, this scramble may just be the epitome of that feeling because it’s like nothing I’ve ever seen. Get ready because you’re about to see quite possibly the greatest computer-generated scramble of all time.
After a certain point while dealing with anything – especially cubing –, improving can get harder and harder. Lowering your average gets more and more difficult the faster you get. In mathematics, this resembles asymptotic regression. However, we already know that deliberate practice is one of the best ways to improve your times quickly. One of the best things to deliberately practice is cross to F2L transition and predicting first pair. This article will show you the best way to improve this and extra tips and tricks on how to look ahead.
Since speedcubing is still a relatively small community of people, it can be difficult to find websites that provide important information like algs, and stats which help improve and make cubing more enjoyable as a hobby. There are a lot of underrated websites on the web that may not be very popular, but still are some of the most information and entertainment-packed resources for us cubers. This article covers the top 6 websites that all speedcubers should know about.
The Gan 11 M Pro, one of the best-selling 3x3s of all time, is a puzzle known for its lightweight and fast yet controllable turning feel. Recently, it has had quite a major price drop and is at a much more reasonable price than what it was a few years ago. But is this cube still worth it over three years after its release, and how does it fare against the best modern cubes like the Tornado v3 and the MoYu ys3m?
After learning 2-look OLL and PLL, it’s obvious that full OLL and PLL are the next steps. But what about after that? Winter Variation, Summer Variation, VLS, ZBLS, COLL, and OLLCP are all algorithm sets for last layer. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of any of these before because this article covers which ones you should learn, and which ones you should ignore.
For some, practicing comes naturally, but for others, it can be difficult because of many reasons, like lack of time, or lack of a structured schedule or practice plan. However, don’t worry because this article has great practice guides for cubers with different amounts of time available per day.
At some point, you’re going to get good enough that you feel like you are ready to take your cubing journey to the next level. That's where cubing competitions come in. Cubing competitions are a way for you to see how you fare against the rest of the community and meet with other cubers just like you. This article includes important information and things to know before you participate in your first competition...
Full f2l is a huge algorithm subset that includes algorithms to solve the first two layers (hence the name f2l). However, learning all 41 algorithms can be quite the task and it can be more of a time save to start with just learning the important ones. This article covers the best and most efficient f2l algorithms to learn.
Becoming faster with your solves is not always just practice, while it can be helpful to practice, improving can be sped up by learning new things. This article covers the best algorithms and methods to learn to make your solves faster.
Averaging less than thirty seconds is a huge achievement for any cuber. For some, it takes just a few months, and for some, it can take upwards of a year. Regardless of who you are, this article provides useful tips, and what skills you need to average sub-thirty.
