Help for cubers who want to beat sub-x (CFOP)

[PetrusQuber]

Well the rate of progression rapidly slows, you just need to keep learning algs and finger tricks. it doesn’t come overnight, i’ve been cubing for almost 4 years and I just got sub 20 a few weeks ago.

Yeah, it’s just you slow down in major progress pretty fast. As you get faster, and even a couple of seconds take up a good portion of your solve, advancing by even 1 second at, say the 12 second range is huge. For now, your improvement is going pretty fast, but be prepared for new standards to be seen on your averages and timers.

If you’re just getting bored in general and not just because of the relatively slow improvement, I suggest looking into other events, or styles of solving, and so on.
One handed, blindfolded, etc. Fewest moves, 4x4, pyraminx, there are loads

Sorry it’s me again I just signed yesterday and I have a lot of questions. Sometimes during long cubing session my hands get a bit sweaty how do I stop it

just have a towel, or kitchen roll on hand so you can wipe them

Or do the classic thing all YTs do before solving in competition, where they wipe their hands on their trousers, even during inspection

Dear PetrusQuber CFOP is better but I still subbed to you channel. But I can’t say much because your solves are 3 times faster then mine

CFOP is not necessarily better

I guess your good at whatever you are comfortable with

full PLL by a longshot

Yes, I say full PLL too. I know all the cases, but I'm not full OLL yet; however I can easily get nice 15-16 second average if I do everything else efficiently.
HOWEVER: make sure that you are good at recognizing each PLL, that you find the right one for you, and that you can execute them with decent speed (no more than 2-3 second, may vary depending on your level). I had the problem of doing useless U and U' moves during PLL, and it really affected me until I decided to film some of my solves and detected this weakness. I was able to work on it (and still am), and I can say that my times are lower now.

Knowing both full OLL and full PLL, I can confidently say that full PLL is more helpful.

Full PLL improved my times by almost 2 seconds
Full OLL improved my times by around 1 second

But you were faster when you learnt full OLL, so the difference would be less notable?

Well you still would want to be 20ish, learning intuative f2l and full PLL first.

I currently average 10-11 with full oll+pll, 11-13 with only full pll, and 14 with 4LLL

Thanks! Channel is kind of dead but I’m actually planning (no confirmation because I’m bad lol) on uploading soon.
Petrus vs CFOP is a long debated argument I’d rather not start yet again but it does seem that CFOP is certainly more proven and easier to grt faster with for the moment.
I just use Petrus because it’s more fun for me (and really, isn’t that why we cube?)

Crap I forgot that when writing my article on why we cube.

 

[Irish cuber]

I just got a 35.83. And I’m gonna learn full pll

Good job! Do you use the beginners method or CFOP?

 

[Irish cuber]

CFOP with advanced f2l beginner oll and pll

 

[Irish cuber]

Does any one know an easier E perm
