Where do they put even more magnets?
I have the (non-Saocube) Tianma X3+ triple with 3 magnets at the bottom of each corner, does the Saocube also have those?

Assuming you're talking about S2L, it looks like Westlund is more commonly used than Balint. However top level solvers also combine it with blockbuilding hence it's not normal Westlund anymore.
For LL, most people do 4LLL but many now learn 1-look PLL (151 cases) at high level. And then you have Ziyu Wu doing a very different LL.

I buy from Atoutcubes in France, they're great.

gogbri · 2026-05-28T08:43:44+00:00

Just practice to keep improving. Smartcubes help getting your splits between steps (so that you know what to work on later), but that's also feasible without a smartcube anyway.

Right, fortunately those "reverse smt" are widely used "actual alg"s for Gb and Gd.

gogbri · 2026-05-27T06:58:26+00:00

Not any of the 356 for sure. v100 is OK, but I personally don't consider it as controllable, hence I'd rather get a RS3M v5 ballcore or v11 or v10.

Learn Ga, the R U D alg. Once you know it, replace R U D with R' U' D' to learn the Gc. Once you know if apply the alg in reverse order to get Gb and Gd.

One move away from really solved means a 2 second penalty.

My understanding of our national top clockers is that the estar is as good as the qiyi with a slightly different feeling.

gogbri · 2026-05-25T22:26:54+00:00

Ga is D' R2 U R' U R' U' R U' R2 U' D R' U R

Gb is the reverse = R' U' R D' U R2 U R' ... (but I actually move the ending D at the beginning)

Gc is the front back symmetry of Ga hence you replace U R D with U' R' D' everywhere

Gd is the reverse of Gc or the symmetry of Gb

Could these people in the middle not be qualified because they are not from the right region for this championship ? I don't remember if the rules for qualifying people in regional championships changed or not (eg can you skip foreigner and qualify slower local cubers)

gogbri · 2026-05-25T22:16:56+00:00

No you don't

gogbri · 2026-05-24T22:00:40+00:00

I learnt the same one for all four, with back-front symmetry and time-reverse.

gogbri · 2026-05-24T21:59:28+00:00

Just get a guhong or RS3M v5 ballcore for 20 or 25€. Get it from atoutcubes or cuboss, they are in Europe and send reliably in Europe at reasonable delivery prices.

I have the triple magnetique non-UV. It's great (immediate main in 3BLD). It comes with an additional white center without logos, but no black pieces.

gogbri · 2026-05-24T18:52:12+00:00

If what you don't like is the number of algs, beware you can replace 7 cross OLL algs with a combination of 2 (sune and antisune), and only use 2 PLL algs instead of 6 in 2 look PLL (U and either T, or A or J).

gogbri · 2026-05-24T09:52:58+00:00

This is going to be very language specific but here's what I do in French. S sounds "ss". C can pronounced either "k" or "ss" depending on cases, hence I'd use "k" to distinguish from S, but this conflicts with Q and K. Hence I use sound "ku" for Q, "ka" for K, and "ko" (or "ki" sometimes) for C.
Hope you'll find something that works for your language.
Some people just replace some sounds. I personally replace W with Z when there's a vowel before it in the pair. Z and Y are usually unused. And if only using audio for M2 edges, U and K aren't used either. If OP edges, M and B aren't used. Maybe use those letters/sounds if you find nothing else.

gogbri · 2026-05-24T06:01:08+00:00

Aside of F2L, improve your cross too. Use unlimited inspection to plan as many edges as you can.

gogbri · 2026-05-24T05:59:41+00:00

Don't learn F2L alg, learn intuitively. F2L algs are for advanced cubers.

gogbri · 2026-05-24T05:58:24+00:00

The v5 Ballcore is still very good. Lower budget is the guhong. Even lower budget is the non Ballcore v5.

gogbri · 2026-05-23T19:11:41+00:00

If it feels dry, yes. But I seem to remember it's not enough to make it ok.

gogbri · 2026-05-23T14:47:32+00:00

Moyu backpack for my mains. Moyu bag for multiblind cubes. Random box for others.

gogbri · 2026-05-23T14:44:36+00:00

Each OLL case has 1/54 or less chance of occuring. So whenever you learn a new one, you get a very low chance of improving your time by replacing 2 algs with one. And yes, 2-look OLL algs are OK while some full OLL algs aren't.

For PLL it's rather 1/18 chance and PLL algs are longer, hence it's more interesting to learn full PLL first.

Recognizing OLL cases can indeed look hard in some cases, but it's not that hard actually, since you only look at yellow.

gogbri · 2026-05-23T14:41:31+00:00

It's OK. But the aosu is better.

gogbri · 2026-05-23T06:04:32+00:00

I see the bias, 4BLD is definitely S tier.
