Pls help me be 15 avg. (pls spee- i mean guys i need this)

[Asne2223]

I am a 22 avg cuber and i know full pll almost full oll and i have a tps of around 4 - 5.
My lookahead is decent but i am having a hard time with inspection and algorithm learning and recognizing.

Don't just focus on last layer, put some thought into cross and f2l as well.

I average 21 with cfop full pll and oll w/o dot, but I average like 2.5-3 tps, so that means you probably are pretty inefficient on f2l. You should look at pro example solves and focus on finding more efficient pair solutions, especially using open slots and forcing free pairs or 3 movers when you take a piece out of a wrong slot.

These guys are right. Focus on cross in 1-2 seconds, and try to pair the f2l in 8-10 seconds. Drill them in fact. That might help after a while, but learning takes time. Do not get discouraged if it is a while from now.

hi guys
thanks to my good friend arvid
I now know what all of you average (muhahahahahahaha)
but first here are the “requirements”:
be sub-20
know full F2L (atleast the front slot cases)
know full PLL (with the sole exception of @THE_V01DL0RD of course)

1. Learn full OLL
While you can definitely get like sub-12 with 2-look OLL, it’s much better in the long run to learn it at around the 15-17 second barrier. OLL has different names for certain patterns (like “fish shape” or “knight shape”), so I suggest you learn cases according to the sets. As for memorizing algs, see my...

BRUH... isnt that Calebs profile picture?

Hello. Sub12 talking. Full OLL and full PLL is important, but not what will impact the most your solves. Focus on efficient cross and F2L, make sure you can 1 look the cross every time, and make sure you are not turning too fast. For some reason I always notice that people who average in the 20 secound range always seem to have the tendency to turn the cube too fast. Remember that efficiency and look ahead are more important than turn speed. I'm sorry if this feels boring and repetitive of what you always hear, but if you always hear it it's probabilly a good advice. Also, don't hesitate to ask me for help, I enjoy helping others as much as I can

hello im caleb valenzuela and im world class (sub 7) and i recommend you to learn all the 41 f2l cases they are short and easy cuz there intuitive. learn them from the back slots too. for more info look my sub 15 guide i posted earlier in this thread

Is this supposed to be a joke, because it is more frustrating than anything. Very confusing and a bit rude that you are doing this to The man, The Myth, The Legend. Is this even legal on this forum?

This is just an April fools joke probably lol, and knowing Caleb he probably won’t mind

Yes i indeed said this for an april fools joke dont worry

Train your recognition first

Gain fluency in your execution rather than learning more algs

This guy has a lot of experience, so also work on f2l. F2l accounts for about 50%of the solve...I think anyway.
