im done with my homework and all that and im planning to grind whole solves to get sub 40.
But before that, i want you guys to critique a whole solve of mine.

Sure. We'll be happy to have a look and provide feedback. Congrats on the first comp.

why is this happening?

Your times will fluctuate, and that's normal. Everyone has good days and bad days. I'm sure your times will drop fast once your F2L becomes more fluid.

yes but i cant really get better now 25 is basically my limit but im just slower now which is annoying since i cannot get any better. My hands are not stiff and my cube is fine. But i seem to turn slower.

If your times are a bit slower then maybe you're tired or a bit demotivated, that happened to me a while ago and just took a 1 day break and my times were back to normal after that little break. To improve your F2L I would recommend just doing a bunch of normal solves which that helped me a lot, even though that may just work for some people.

im not demotivated though.

i found out my problem its because im hesitating too much during my solves.
how do i stop hesitating?

That's why I mentioned tired or demotivated.

Maybe by drilling the algs and cases you do during F2L so you're more confident or sure on what you're about to do.

yea your right but i sometimes i have many choices and i just dont know what to do
edit: I found if i relax a bit and not focus that hard i start to get okay times.

Where did you do a comp? I would love to, and I average high 15/16s.

I think he's refering to the Weekly Competitions held in the forums. At the top bar it says "Home, Forums and then Competition" click competitions and you'll be taken to a page were there's many events to compete in.

And I think there's a random winner of a $15 gift card from The Cubicle if you compete.

im going to send a video soon btw on sec..

This is a thread where i practice and learn cases and algs to get to sub 40.
Right now i learned intuitive f2l but i also need help and tips with it.

so now i have this problem where i see that before i learned intuitive f2l i had a 40 second average on f2l, so i went to learn intuitve f2l to get a lower f2l average, but now that i use intuitvte f2l my solve time is 1 minute and 30 seconds on average??
does this need more practice or i am doing it wrong?

Solving the Rubik's Cube faster has been and always will be my goal. Check out my "speedcubing" tutorial!

I am certainly not the fastest, but I am sure that you can pick up something that will help you. I guarantee sub-40 if you practice!

thx for the video! But it seems that some of your 2 look olls and plls are not move optimal. For the bowtie alg, its reccomended that you use this. F' r U R' U' L' U R. Also the plls you got, with 4 edges not oriented, and its like two of them are switched you use M2' U M2' U M' U2 M2' U2 M' U2. The pll that has one edge solved, you can just rotate so that the solved side is at the back and you dont have to use b moves
your f2l is fine though. You can get better solutions for the last layer.

Sorry if it looked like im teaching you, just some suggestions.
The tips you gave me i already was taught, but thanks anyway. Your times are like mine.
