I can't upload videos. Want me to Email it or something?
Do you think you can reconstruct that solve and send by notation? If not, email is fine too but then others won't be able to help you.

Here was my scramble, if that's what you mean.Do you think you can reconstruct that solve and send by notation? If not, email is fine too but then others won't be able to help you.
Personally I would say your doing great. To be around 20 seconds and colour neutral is good going. Look ahead will improve your times hugely. There are a bunch of tutorials and advice on YouTube around look ahead. The common practices of slowing down, joining and inserting f2l pairs with your eye closed definitely work. Keep spamming slow solves constantly looking for the next pair.I hope this is the right place to post this ...
So.... I have never been to a cubing comp, but will probably be going to Worlds in a year. I might go to a comp sooner, but idk.
So, in that case, I have just about a year to improve as much . I hope to make it through to at least the second round , maybe further, depending on the amount of progress I make.
About me:
I have learnt how to solve a cube around a year and a bit ago. I got my first solve without looking at algs with TheSergsB's video with a time of around 2 minutes, an in a few days had around 50-65 seconds. Then I got into collecting, which was mainly composed of buying 3 cubes an watching cubing videos . So, around 4-5 months ago I started desperatley wanting to keep on improving my times. My favourite events are 2x2-4x4 + a squan addiction and kinda liking 5x5.
Current Situation:
I am colour Neutral now, with times at around 20's , desperatley trying to get consistent sub 20 times. I am practicing lookahead, as I currently have none. I know full pll. A few random old and zblls ( some ridiculouy easy cases.) Over 4.5 months I have made rapid progress, I know Feliks himself was sub 20 in a similar time. I of course have no intention of being a future Feliks or comparing myself to him, but I know that a Year ( that is Also quite free with time) can be a huge Opportunity. There is just one thing ...
WHAT TO DO?
I know I should and am currently practicing lookahead. How far can that get me? What else should I work on? What would help me improve? I desperatley need help. I know that there will be huge competition at worlds, but I do want to get some decent times. Please, what should I improve on? What can I learn? What will get my times down? How far down?
P.S my cross is OK because of CN, and cross + f2l is good, with me finishing it at about 15, and have a 5 second LL, using 3LLL. My auf prediction is pretty good.

There are 3 main ways of learning algs:My f2l is pretty solid for my level of experience. I usually average 12-15 seconds on F2L by itself, although I average 28-29 seconds. My cross is semi decent, I can do it in about 4-5 seconds. The thing that is slowing down my times is last layer. Im terrible at it. I only know 2 look oll and like half of all. The problem is I'm terrible at learning algs... Does anyone have any tips on learning algs and getting executions of them faster?

First Off, You are definitely on course to get fast (like really Fast). being color neutral at 20 secs is good, and practicing Lookahead is exactly what you should be focusing on.I hope this is the right place to post this ...

Have you tried other methods? If you haven't I would recommend looking at Roux or ZZ before deciding your next move or what you should be working on.Hi, I've been a cuber for 4 months now I use F2L, 2 Look OLL(but I currently have memorized 24 OLL algs for the one look), and begginer's method PLL for making the headlights and one look PLL for solving the headlights. I average around 30-35 seconds on the 3x3. I have been trying to improve my lookahead and so far I haven't been able to make progress. Any tips on how to cut my time down?
I did 5 solves before this
The times are:
30.965
29.624
36.683
34.708
41.244
so My average for this would be 34.118
thanks!! i've gotten better at lookahead and learned a few PLL'S. I've shaved 4 seconds of my PB and 2 from my averageHi!
The first thing is that people usually learn 1 look pll before 1 look oll, and to improve your lookahead it is good to turn slowly and not make any paues. And ofcourse just pracrice
Hope that atleast helps a little bit
