Do m’ u2 m u2 then you can see the 3 cycle if you have the two opposite corner edges , but if they are on opposite sides of the cube

Sorry for the late reply. For 4 misplaced edges, you can do M2 U2 M2 when there is an opposite swap on both sides, just make sure both opposite swaps are line up in the middle. For 2 swapped edges something is either not right or your pieces are swapped unless I’m stupid. I haven’t done a roux solve in a while so sorry.

Okay, so I never thought I’d see a cube puzzle that cost more than a titanium yoyo, but here’s one with an impressive price tag:

Very true!
Of course, both of those treatments would be pointless on a puzzle that can’t be turned quickly to begin with.

Well, I haven’t started timing myself yet, but I’m guessing my average is around 45-60s. My F2L is still pretty slow, mostly due to the time it takes me to find each pair and decide which moves to use. I’m told this will improve over time, and that doing solves is the best way to get better at it at my stage. I have 4LLL down pretty good though.
I have also taken the time to learn to solve a 5x5 using Redux + Freeslice. Pretty easy, but it takes concentration in order to not mess something up.

There is nothing “lame stream” about cubing lol
Cubing is great, and its always great to have another addition to the community! I suggest you buy a cheap speedcube, some of them go for as low as $4 which is nice

Try cubing to a metronome and speeding it up, it should help also get a timer with an f2l trainer, that should help you get your time rather quick through repeated practice. Once it gets in your head, you’re cursed with the knowledge
