2 by 2 single pb!

[Arcanist]

Scramble: F2 U F2 U' F' R U2 R' U'

Reconstruction:
Inspection - y’
First Face (layer in this case) - U R’
OLL - F R' F' R U R U' R'

I use ortega. Only had 3.6 tps
crazy lucky though

 

[Caden Fisher]

I got a 1.69 on that scramble first try. What time did you get?

 

[Arcanist]

2.784 yeah not great

 

[Caden Fisher]

2.784 yeah not great

Not bad though! My pb is 2.72. I read the recon first here so I knew what to do

Nice, I could probably sub 1 that scramble. Did you predict OLL?

 

[Kaedenthecuber]

this is not considered crazy lucky. wait till you get a 4 mover

True, this was simply a CLL solve with a nice first layer and no pre or post AUF's.
Although if you don't know CLL ig it's decently lucky.

nah I wasn't paying attention and just tired from doing 3 by 3

i know i just never do 2 by 2 only have like 80 solves in session.

i was thinking about learning cll but ill probably just learn some more pbl algs

Good idea. If you want to get good at 2x2 these are the steps:
1. Learn OLL (beginner)
2. Learn PBL (sub 5, possibly sub 4)
3. Learn CLL (sub 3)
4. Learn EG (sub 2)
5. Learn additional sets like LEG1, TCLL+- and so on. (Zayn level)

2x2 seemed really boring to me until i started practicing for a competition and now it's one of my main events along with 3x3 and all BLD events. I still suck because I barely have time to cube.

for me:

learn oll (sub 10)
learn beginner pbl (sub 6)
learn advanced pbl (sub 4)
learn cll (sub 3)
learn eg (sub 2.5)
learn onelooking (sub 2)
learn zayn stuff (sub 1)

 

[Arcanist]

i have learned beginner pbl

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

I didn't even know there was something called advanced PBL? I thought it was just PBL. Or is beginner PBL where you don't know algs for all angles?

Also about the onelooking part I agree that is necessary for sub 2, but I kind of don't think you 'learn' onelooking, you practice it and I consider it to be part of the EG method.

just more pbl algs i think. I only know 4 (1 bar top, 2 bars front, t perm, y perm)

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

Well then you miss out on the easiest one: diag swap (y perm) on top and bottom is just R2 F2 R2.

sry yeah I just forgot to say that one

Beginner pbl is that 5 alg method taught in ortega beginner tutorials while advanced is from all angles I think
