My Quest To Learn CFOP (week 11 or 12 maybe )

[Paul.Mz]

Hello everyone since the day I've joined I saw lots of threads like this so I decided to share my progress with you all .
I'm planning to leave LBL method and learning CFOP , I think it may be harder but I think learning it will worth it

Goals for this week :

Learn a little bit about cfop.

Try leaning some F2Ls .

Learn 2 algs of 2Look PLL and practicing them .

Practice so so so much

That's all for this week , bye!

if you want to learn about a bit of CFOP, its that it has f2l, for the first two layers. F is for first, 2 is 2 (in layers) and L is layers, so we call it First two layers. Instead of first solving a corner then edge, you do them at the same time, it might be slow at first, but with practice it gets faster!

 

[Paul.Mz]

Me when you said that : wow magic , corners with the second layer

I would make sure you know intuitive F2L before learning osme last layer algs. Just sayin.

 

[MJS Cubing]

I would learn some basic F2L, (intuative F2L has 0 algs) Then Learn PLL. After PLL you can either learn OLL or actual F2L, pretty much depends on where you need improvement. I'm not sure about after that but that's at least a few months from now so it doesn't matter.

 

[Paul.Mz]

But guys does anyone have some cross tips so that it could help me

Lukas? Discouraging someone from learning algs? That's a first.

Practice solving 3 cross pieces blindfolded

hey i learned intuitive F2L before i even started learning algs for last layer.

by oll and pll i assume you mean the 2 look versions.

What I did in week 1 :

Learned the 2look pll and it was incredibly fun and good , but I'm still slow at it and I forget when to do the alg . Also I learned f2l , its quite harder and more different than doing the corners first the the second layer and I think it takes me like 40 secs to do it . Didnt start with oll yet but I have a feeling that in is super hard . And I'm averaging about 1:30 ;(

Goals for this week :

_Practice more F2Ls and make my time with them less than 30 secs

_ practice PLLs also

_try to learn 2 algs OLL

See ya next week !

try to learn algs by memorizing them and executing it a few times, take a break for 5 or 10 minutes, then come back and try to recall the alg again. This makes your brain try to remember it and further memorize it. Don't worry about F2L, after more practice I got from like 50 seconds F2L all the way to 30 seconds! Then I practiced more and got to 20 seconds.


Also you should check out my thread, im now on a quest to sub 20 but scroll back all the way to the beginning and you'll find me in the same spot as yours, i was around 1:30 too. https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/nir1213s-quest-to-sub-20-with-cfop.78475/

yep i didnt do that for past ZBLL but I will now

Good luck with your goals.

Well, I learned intuitive f2l first, then went on to add in the extra algs for 2 look oll and pll, then I went on to learn full pll. Now I'm planning on finishing pll going onto oll, which I'm not excited about , and then definitely improving my f2l after, which I suck at and average around 15 sec at, and then I'm going to work on my cross. So like some people already said, try learning intuitive f2l first, then 2 look oll and pll, and then finally learning the full amount of algs for pll and oll.

 

[Paul.Mz]

I have a question?
do I have to do special algs for each case on oll . Or it can be the same if i did the top cross then did the corners like this R U R' U' without moving them . Will it be the same ?

 

[cuber1h3g5]

i use the CFOP method

it will be really slow with R U R' U'

 

[Paul.Mz]

I think I'm improving fast
My times just getting lower finally sub 50 solves

What I've done it week 2 :

I learned 2 algs from all and now I know the 2look in 9 secs , but seriously I was practicing plls more and I finally got them in lower time like each pll takes me 4 seconds , and for the f2l I am improving so much like I do it in 25 secs , but I do it intuitively ...
and for the cross I can do it blind but I can do it in 9 secs
averaging like 45secs ----> 1:00min


and let's move to the goals ....

I think I've learned everything for now but I want to make my cross and oll faster and work on some finger tricks and learn lookahead , hopefully my times be lower .

See you soon !
