3x3

Starting a progression thread where I will talk about my PBs, competition and new algs/methods I learn. Next comp: Guildford FTO Day One 2027 3x3 Method: CFOP Main: Qiyi PR: 13.94 2x2 Method: CLL Main: Qiyi PR: 4.06 4x4 Method: Yau Main: Moyu PR: 54.98 5x5 Method: Redux Main: MGC PR...

I got a YJ Meta 3x3 (the magnetic core + wing magnets version) in July, and it's a cube I instantly fell in love with and I still love it after using it for almost 2 months. Here's my review of this cube. The main reason I like it is the stability. After maining cubes like the GAN16 and the...

I want to learn OH and would like advice regarding which method to use and where to learn fingertricks for important algs. Right now, I can solve the cube one-handed in about a minute using normal CFOP and a ludicrous 8-look LL (one-handed, I only know two OLL algs, then T-perm and U-perm, so...

Hello again! A week ago I posted about a written interactive beginners guide I had made, and got some great feedback. Now I'm back with a similarly functioning guide about beginner f2l. I made this because when searching for a written introductory f2l guide for my friend who wanted to take the...

My best average of 5 and mean of 3

The last couple of months I've been working on making a modern, interactive beginners guide after seeing that the same old PDFs i learned from myself still circle the internet. They're mostly great, but with some interactivity it can get even better. I also think learning the "CFPO" beginner...

Hi everyone, I'll be selling a variety of speedcubes at the North American Championships. Below you'll find each cube's condition, any modifications or setups that have been applied, and my asking price. Prices are negotiable, and in USD, so don't hesitate to make an offer if you're interested...

Random Sharing I stopped speedcubing since 2018, it’s now been about 8 years since I last seriously solving the cube fast (and I’d say 2012-2018 was the golden era for me, second is the 1980s), so I was rusty when I tried it a few months ago, I got sub 28 global. This month I took it a bit...

Hi, Jack's here I posted on YouTube the video about JLA (Jack's Lau Approach) Method JLA Method Forum I hope this would help your solve easier!

Hi, Jack's here In this forum I'd like to share my method that is based on Lau method Lau Method Lau method goes something like this: Base Edge Orientation (BEO/Cross-1) I-F2L (Phase 1 Inverted-F2L, Phase 2 F2L Proper) FLL (VHSL/VLS + COLL) EPLL While testing the method, I thought that...

This is a conceptual method that requires someone who is decent at 2 things: 1. Developing new algorithms 2. Knows and/or is quite familiar with ZBLL and related techniques. Now I will say the interesting part, this is called the L.O.T. Method because it combines f2l with OLL and PLL and is, in...

I am looking for old, rare cubes (willing to pay higher prices) The cubes I’m looking for are: Old Gan Air (whichever version) Valk 3x3 Old Dayan Zhanchi Old Dayan GuHong Old Moyu cubes (like mini Aolong) And any other limited, discontinued 3x3 (assuming less than $60)

Hey, all! I've recently been getting back into 3x3, and I thought i should start a thread like this to keep my motivation going. I'll be splitting this up into 4 chunks, one for CFOP, another for physical 2^4, a third one for learning APB, and the last one for writing down my progress with...

Hello everyone, I am writing this to let you know that Belgium's first speedcubeshop has recently opened! The idea is to ensure that every cuber gets their cubes, accessories, etc. at the best prices and the fastest possible. The store's stock is located in Brussels and shipment is ultra fast...

I was thinking about this and decided to ask you guys. How much did you do in your first competition and what is your current PR single? My best single in my first competition was an 18.16 in April 2023, and my current PR single was a 8.43 in June 2025.

Top cubers are shifting from simple lookahead to predicting even the entirety of F2L in inspection. This was debated in Dylan Miller and Caiden Lee's debate hosted by Brandon True. At this point, one looking 3x3 is looking more doable than ever, especially with people like Xuanyi Geng who also...

Hi guyss! So I developed a method that considers the weaknesses of other speedcubing method and try to integrate them. Essentially this method (Lau or PseudoFOP) intends to make inspection easier for predicting and look ahead—made in such a way that it is rotationless while not doing EO...
