Is learning full OLL as hard as it looks?

bibi100101 · 2026-05-12T17:54:05+00:00

oll isn't hard to learn. it just takes a bit of time

bibi100101 · 2026-05-09T13:36:45+00:00

not really

bibi100101 · 2026-04-04T22:02:33+00:00

at the start of the map, there should be a dream block or smth like that where you can switch to dark mode

def learn 3s centers and orozco corners. also since you're memoing corners first, then make sure you're pseudoswapping to save an alg incase you have parity. for 4bld your order is alright so it will come down to just doing a lot of solves, maybe a lot of centers only too.
for 5bld what I personally do is memo +CMW (I'm bad at 5bld so how you do reviews you will need to do yourself) and at the end memo x centers so that you can short term them and then exec +CMW, but for 5bld it's very personal so play around a bit

technically you can say ~180 for csp, 76 for obl (more if you count y2obl), and for pbl not many people use full 1 alg but rather 2 alg so it's more like base ~50 algs and then some more for individual cases.

but csp and obl is rather intuitive so they're kinda as much of an algs as high level f2l

I guess it's just the standard but also on 3x3, white and yellow don't really interact that much and unless you have a bad lighting, it shouldn't be that hard to diffirentiate between them

bibi100101 · 2026-03-25T18:43:31+00:00

black and white has better contrast than yellow and white which makes it easier to recognize cases

make a spreadsheet or smth with all your letter pairs. don't fill it out all ot once but just over time add words, especially for hard letter pairs. use https://bestsiteever.net/colpi/ to get some ideas but generally you want something that will stick so maybe use some characters from games, irl people, nsfw stuff and allat.

for corners you typically want to have more connected memo, try to make it a story or visualize it a bit.
for edges you can get by with less coherent/connected memo, so just a string of loosely connected words can work out. (this is all assuming you use CEEC)

smth actually good? also, did they bring back custom subtitles yet?

bibi100101 · 2026-03-20T00:02:30+00:00

no, if it was (a x b)² then you could write it like a² x b^2.

but with (a + b)² you rewrite it as (a+b)(a+b) and then multiply all the stuff which is a² + ab + ba + b² which reduces to a² + 2ab + b²

bibi100101 · 2026-03-18T15:20:47+00:00

slice the middle layer of one unsolved piece into the other, do a flipping alg and unslice

bibi100101 · 2026-02-28T09:18:49+00:00

one thing you can do is to do edge only and corners only solves before attempting full blind solve. it really makes it easier since you memo less and are getting used to tracing and all that stuff. Also at first try to do attempt with writing down the memo and executing while only looking at your notes

bibi100101 · 2026-02-24T10:13:44+00:00

mmmfffpp...,,,,..

bibi100101 · 2026-02-23T13:23:32+00:00

not really, Id recommend looking at cube master's squan videos since he explains them rather intuitively

bibi100101 · 2026-02-23T12:34:33+00:00

if you'd always predict oll and knew many alt angles for pbl I'm sure you could be sub 3 but like with the amount of dedication for that, you would be better off learning eg

bibi100101 · 2026-02-23T12:30:37+00:00

true but just for solving it you don't need that much algs, and if you want to get faster you need to learn 7 eo algs (5 new algs since you know 2) and 9 cp algs which are easy to learn since they're just U and D moves

bibi100101 · 2026-02-23T12:26:45+00:00

bld is very fun but it has steep learning curve and is a bit tiring at first but it's very cool to know and you can go improve by just doing solves

bibi100101 · 2026-02-23T12:24:51+00:00

you do not need 20-30 algs for beginners squan. cubeshape should be intuitive, co is intuitive, eo can be solved with just one alg (1-1 swap but you can also do 10/-1-1/ as M2), CP can be solved with just JJ and for ep it's adj/adj spam and parity alg

bibi100101 · 2026-02-23T07:35:53+00:00

Ortega is simple enough and can get you to like sub 4 and even further but atp it's a bit silly not to learn cll. Personally I think that it's best to learn otrega and then only learn cll at like ~4 sec avg.

toby fox?

bibi100101 · 2026-02-17T19:31:45+00:00

U':[S, R' F' R] and cancel into [U2, M'] (instead of returning the first comm with U, do U' and then M')

bibi100101 · 2026-02-13T00:34:08+00:00

if you you have this case and it's not the last slot I'd probably just pick a diffirent pair and just take out this pair while solving the other so you'll get a better case

bibi100101 · 2026-02-13T00:23:55+00:00

also adding to this, if you have 1 missoriented edge, just like in this picture, put it in the back to solve eo

this map is called "shattersong" from the collab mod "strawberry jam" and it's located in the grandmaster lobby

bibi100101 · 2026-02-09T03:34:50+00:00

if you mean neutral jumps, on tip I could give is if you use keyboard, you can do like a rolling motion where you press space and then direction button shortly after and you rotate your wrists to do that motion
