duckycubing’s cube journey

[duckycubing]

29/9/2022 Friend of mine named Ashton showed me what speedcubing was. I thought it was really cool so I really wanted to learn it.

7/10/2022 I finally decided to learn how to solve the rubik’s cube. I went on YouTube and found CubeHead’s tutorial on how to solve a 3x3. It was the “Layer By Layer” (LBL) method.

14/10/2022 I finally had the time and solved my first cube in the extremely terrible time of 2 minutes. Then to celebrate I spent all my money on a GAN Maglev 13

27/10/2022 After a bit of practice with LBL with a great improvement of a time of sub 50, I decided it was time to start learning CFOP from J Perm (YouTube)

29/10/2022 I bought some GAN Lube for my GAN Maglev 13 and a SpeedStacks GEN 5 timer on TaoBao for a pretty reasonable price

30/10/2022 It’s been a couple of days. I have learnt intuitive F2L.

6/11/2022 My GAN 13 Maglev kinda broke which is really sad but I’m ordering a new one

20/11/2022 Finally learned 2-Look OLL on my broken GAN

Current Goal: 2-Look PLL and then full CFOP

That’s it at the moment I am trying to learn CFOP and F2L

Net worth includes property, so if Elon musk decides to spend his whole net worth on something, he would have to sell everything he owns

To be serious, hope the cube is good and that you’re enjoying cubing

i have learned lbl and i average a minute what do i do now?

 

[j727s]

after i learned lbl, i had a period of time where i jumped around different methods for about a month. i tried cfop, petrus, roux, and zz. i settled on roux because i didnt have the time to learn so many algs, and also m slice is cool. (i also couldnt figure out any other method besides roux and cfop) im not some pro roux user yet though. i would advise to go around and try different methods to see what clicks for you

Practice more.

See other people's solves.

Reconstruct your own solve.

See JPerm's videos on intuitive F2L.

Good luck!

i am so close to sub 1 minute its like .4 seconds away i am so mad

Oooh that feels terrible! Wait until you miss a sub-10!
for me, If I know I’m are at a fast pace, I make sure I don’t look at the timer because I always end up doing worse.

I DID IT OMG

LETS GO!! Sub-50 by the end of the month easily. Do you still use LBL or CFOP

lbl i am trying to learn cfop tho

Learning F2L is about 95% practice and running into cases and developing the best way to do it, 5% googling the fastest way for tricky ones.
I learned F2L, slowed down, then I dropped my times by 15-ish seconds.

A lot of it is reducing it into one of these three cases using R, and U, moves.

and their inverse/adjacent

ooh ok thanks bro

For F2L learn it intuitive first with this tutorial from Jperm, Then Look for als for every case where you use more than one rotation here. And dort be worried if you slow down at the beginning

You will get there, don't worry

 

[duckycubing]

You will get there, don't worry

i got 43 seconds just now wtf

You will get there, don't worry

les gooooooooooooooo

 

[joshisbored]

Nice! it was so hard to break sub one! as a sort of beginer, with practice youll geti sub 30.
