I for some reason thought this vid was 5 or 6 years ago

[@jennifergessert3990]

Same

[@trungnguyenthanh7236]

True😊

[@sadanadadevadiga174]

Me too 😅

[@SprinkerMC]

can you do something like this for 3x3 sub 10 or sub 9? I think most of us would REALLY appreciate that, your teaching skills are unrivaled

[@LimeCubing]

Any of y’all think he sounds like Daily dose of internet?

[@AlessandroDiomampo]

You know it's gonna be a good day when java cuber uploads something mega related

[@curiousNic]

Very helpful, thanks! I just set up my new Megaminx and I'm ready to work on my efficiency.

[@JavaCuber]

Glad it helped!

[@GMJ160]

Lets go i needed i was trying to see if i can even beat my sub 1 20 barrier i need this video❤!!

[@SlowerCuber]

Very useful! I watched your tutorials to learn megaminx and they are all very helpful including this one! Thank you very much :D

[@JavaCuber]

Great to hear!

[@Lordbearnana]

Let's go! I finally won't be left in the dust by my friends!

[@GetRidOfHandles]

i wish i had cuber friends

[@bhavanit269]

Same bro😢

[@NoahS4226]

Perfect timing. Would love a sub-1 average at DFW WV but a 20 second improvement in 2 weeks feels ambitious.

[@therealextreme]

Thanks❤ This video made me realize my mistakes. Hopefully in the future I might reach sub 1.

[@TERRORSPEED]

I watched the first tip about inspection and started trying to do it more and finally got my first (and second) sub 1 average after having multiple 1:00.0x averages

[@konstantinos_zaglanis]

I actually got my first sub1 ao100 a few days ago and your videos have helped me a lot to get to that point... However, this video reminds me that I have a lot to work on and I hope I can get better in the future and maybe get a sub1 average officially soon.

[@PyraminxDoo]

ακραίος

[@konstantinos_zaglanis]

Have improved quite a bit since this comment. Hoping to get something good in comp soon. See you there 😉

[@Chloe90125]

Awesome video I haven’t been cubing anymore sense my last comp but this is getting me back into it cause I love mega!

[@Isaiah_Scott]

I am averaging sub 1:10 and was looking for this exact video, and my favorite megaminxer posted a video on it!

[@JavaCuber]

aw glad to hear that!

[@TheCubinCat]

bruv same!!!

[@rubiksantek7380]

thanks a lot for this video! with this guide I went from a official 1: 04average to a 48 average 😀

[@mdcuber2152]

Very good video

[@TheCubingKitKat]

I rlly needed this, my goal for riverside 2024 is sub 1 so I’m lookin forward to this vid! (TheCubingCat alt, my old acc got banned :( )

[@RandomVideos_Stuff]

Thanks Java! If Efficiency Is So Important Imagine If Tymon Got into Mega :O

[@infrences]

For hardware now, I tried the YuHu and Dayan along with the new GAN at a cube pop-up store, and tbh I liked the Dayan the least, YuHu after and the GAN maglev the most. All 3 are amazing, and the YuHu especially blew me away with its price to performance ratio, it’s the RS3M V5 of megaminx.

[@cannedbananas9950]

could you do another video with more example solves? The one you did at the end helped a lot.

[@JavaCuber]

I have a lot of example solves in the playlist linked in the description

[@itzecuber]

Please do more videos about efficiency in F2L! We got example solves but few videos talking about cases

[@JavaCuber]

it’s hard to categorize megaminx f2l into cases, it takes figuring out on your own through untimed solves

[@livingthecubelife3944]

If I do 300 solves of purely just Star and f2l, taking my time to insert and make pairs efficiently, do you think that many solve would be enough for me to get my star and f2l down to sub 20? I just did 10 solves average of the 10 was 33.

[@JavaCuber]

possibly

[@Cubemic333]

Is averaging around 3-3:40 mins good for someone who started 2 days ago ?

[@afox1689]

An unfortunate thing for me is that I left my megaminx out on the windowsill for a day, and the Texas sun completely faded out the color from the white face. Now there's no distinction between white and cream 😂 I'm thinking of asking to borrow my sister's white nail polish to fix it

[@JavaCuber]

that's sad lol

[@JJCuber27]

What are your thoughts on having an S2L order
Those CO/CP tricks are actually so cool

[@henryeyles]

s2l orders are very good

[@henryeyles]

many top players use them

[@JavaCuber]

yes definitely have one i think i mentioned that in the beginner guide

[@RisingCubers]

life is megaminx

[@IRLtwigstan]

Just wondering for wca blind folded, can you use your hoodie if you don’t have a blindfold?

[@JavaCuber]

yes

[@DirkCuber]

How do i setup a megaminx

[@mdcuber2152]

Java maybe you could ask scs for 3 new megaminxs that you could do a comparison video on

[@JavaCuber]

i dont practice mega anymore

[@tuenguyen9849]

Have you try dayan megaminx pro or gan megaminx v2? How do you compare these 2?

[@JavaCuber]

i haven’t tried either

[@Seth6910]

I use eido for 3x3 t perms

[@ThamosProductions]

for the pair at 7:39 you can do R U' R U

[@OICru]

Megamonke

[@magentacobracubing]

wait, does this mean learning full OLL isn't helpful for sub 1??

[@JavaCuber]

D:

[@anja.k4]

I mean you could do it anyways, I know full pll and average around 1:30, why not oll, it'll be useful later

[@MaximilianBerkmann]

I'm nowhere near that level but from what I've seen, until you're sub40, full OLL may not help you that much. I could be wrong.

[@nascara5cupseriesa5cubing18]

Where is the Gan Megaminx V2? It’s comparable to the Dayan and Yuhu

[@JavaCuber]

it’s definitely good, this video was just released before that cube was a thing

My friend averages like 10 on 3x3 but only does eidos for some reason. Not even beidos.

After watching this video I became sub 1 second on megaminx 😱

Congratulations! Can't wait to see you break the next WR.
