F2L problems

[snckdude]

Hey, I've been working on my F2L ( i've only been cubeing for a month now) my best time is 00.27.57. I dont know how good this is for standards of a beginner. so my question is, Am i learning on pace and if so is my time good for how long ive been cubeing. edit: Ok so my problem is when i get a pair and sometimes when the corners aren't fliped right i do a (R,U,Ri,Ui) is this ok, or should i try to stop this all together.

edit: New best time guys set at 11:38 PM march 21st. Time:26.37

1 month and 27.57 already? I find that hard to believe! It's more than "good."

What are your averages? The averages are the times that really matter.

 

[snckdude]

my average is 37.95. ( and i hardcore cube)

 

[Ellis]

F2L problems? I see no problems with that.

Trust me, you are doing amazing. It took me maybe twice as long to average sub-40. Just keep practicing.

 

[Chuberchuckee]

Holy crap.

sub 40 in a month! Are you sure? Did you count?

 

[snckdude]

Yeah well i have an upper hand on most cubers. im friends with Andy tsao.

 

[Chuberchuckee]

Dang. I could have progressed that quickly if I didn't procrastinate on learning those PLL algs...

Great job on the progression; it is amazing.

Andy Tsao's advice probably contributed greatly to your success.

I'm sub-35 in ~2months, it's not that unbelievable
If I didn't have school, work and a girlfriend I'm sure I'd be much faster haha ^_^

 

[Chuberchuckee]

Lol, I was sub-35 in 1 month 3 weeks (so about 2 months as well). But it took me 1 month 2 weeks (1.5 months) to get to sub-40.

I went sub 20 in 3.5 weeks. But that was in another life - no real memory about it ))
This current life proves to be much more challenging...

 

[Tetris Cube]

I've been cubing for almost a year now and I'm not sub 40 yet... I guess I can't really call myself hardcore, as I only do about 10-30 solves a day. That's quite a feat there.

 

[snckdude]

i do about 200 solves on a normal day. and about 700 when i have nothing to do. I practice my BLD when im at the movies. (not like opening your eyes will help, you cant see your colors anyway)

 

[Chuberchuckee]

i do about 200 solves on a normal day. and about 700 when i have nothing to do.[...]

Wow that's quite... a lot.

I don't want to sound offensive, but aren't there other things to do?

 

[snckdude]

yeah but i can cube while i do other things.

 

[Yes We Can!]

wow! :O
thats amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have been cubing for 2 months and I average around 43 seconds oO

i do about 200 solves on a normal day. and about 700 when i have nothing to do. I practice my BLD when im at the movies. (not like opening your eyes will help, you cant see your colors anyway)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! That's *dunno-what-to-say*...
No headache? ^^

 

[Odin]

Dang! I’m barely sub-40 and I’ve been cubing for about 8 months...

i do about 200 solves on a normal day. and about 700 when i have nothing to do.[...]

Hey watch out, I got carpal tunnel from doing things like that.

 

[blgentry]

I don't understand this thread. The title is "F2L problems". Then you go on to tell us how fast you are. We're all impressed by your progress, but do you have a question about F2L? If you're just looking for validation that you are making good progress, you've got it.

But why would you start a thread about F2L, and then say nothing about it?

Brian.

 

[snckdude]
