Hi guys, i need help again.
I made a record using beginner method that made by dan brown at youtube.
Should i use advanced method ? Because im using beginner method and it took me 59 sec to solve the cube.

Practice beginner method for a while. When you are comfortable with it, move on to Fridrich or Petrus.

 

[Vryon]

Well i took 59 sec with beginner method to solve the rubiks 3x3x3. Should i move on the advanced moves ?

 

[byu]

Not yet. Probably wait until 50 seconds at least

 

[Vryon]

Mmmmkayy, i just done in 48.29.
Every of my record today is below 50.
Can i proceed to the next step ?

 

[byu]

Go ahead. Learn fridrich with 4-look LL

 

[jcuber]

If you are using Dan Brown, just switch to Dan Knights first, then more advanced F2L techniques (keyhole, fridrich).

I know that already, how do i learn PLL and OLL ? O__O

Thanks, i know pll and oll now but i think i need some practices =]

According to the times of the posts, are you telling us that you learned OLL and PLL in seven minutes, but just need more practice at it?

Edit: Sorry my bad, they were different days. Either way, are you sure you learned OLL and PLL in 24 hours?

 

[qqwref]

Yeah, WTF? You have to actually memorize the algorithms and be able to use them in a solve when you see the case, it's not just about understanding how it works...

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

I learned OLL and PLL in a week...but 24 hours is kidna pushing it...

Practice beginner method for a while. When you are comfortable with it, move on to Fridrich or Petrus.

Are you biased against Roux or something?

I am offended by this post.

OK, I'll fix it.

Practice beginner method for a while. When you are comfortable with it, move on to Fridrich, Petrus, Roux, Heise, Waterman, Corners First, ZZ, F2L/CLL/ELL, ZB, Fridrich with VH, Fridrich with MGLS, Petrus with MGLS, Heise with MGLS, Edges First, Thistlethwaite, Human Thistlethwaite, Advanced Human Thistlethwaite, Ring Method, Li, Fridrus, Tripod, PEG, PORT, L2L1, L2L1a, L2L2, L2L4, 3CFCEP, 3CFCE, Classic Pochmann, M2/R2, TuRBo, Pre-Orient 3-Cycle, Freestyle BLD, or God's Algorithm.

I really hope I didn't leave anything out, I don't want to offend anyone.

I got a 41 sec single with beginners method and averaged around 1 minute when I started learning Fridrich.

And good one Michael

 

[Novriil]

So... I'll tell my story too...
I got 58.xx for my record with beginners method and average about 1:10. That was the white+first layer, 2nd layer, edges permute, edges orient, corners permute, corners orient (R F R' F'). That was a great time for me. Then just a month ago or a bit more I started learning fridrich F2L. I got 32.04 for my PB with Cross, F2L, beginners LL (same as before). Now I started learning 2-look OLL + 2-look PLL. I haven't really got time to practice it very much so I haven't learned the reverses (mirrors) yet. I have very less time to practice and that's why it takes me so long to improve.

Thanks soccerking for 2-look help
