Hey cubers

[Spaniard]

I started cubing a year ago more or less, but I don't use the cube very much. I've been using the LBL method until now because I'm starting with Fridrich. I've been practising with F2L a couple of weeks. I started learning 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL two days ago, and now I know the OLL cases of the cross and 6 cases of the PLL. With begginers my PB is 35 seconds and my average is around 50-55 with a dollar store Rubik's cube (I should buy a better cube). That's all, I hope improve my times and enjoy reading this forum, bye.
I know my english is bad (I'm spanish) so, sorry if a did a mistake writting this.

Welcome, but I really suggest looking at methods other than Fridrich!

Why everyone uses fridrich and it is the easiest and fastest one

80% != everyone

If "everyone" can't even bother to capitalize "Fridrich," then I'd personally not like to follow those people.

"easiest"
-No. Cheating would be the "easiest."

"fastest"
-While most of the fastest times have been done with CFOP, there is *no* proof that it's the "fastest." People need to give methods like Petrus and Roux a chance. Maybe even ZZ.

So, do you think i should learn another method? I'm learning Fridrich because is the method I know more but I don't know so much about this. What i do, still learning Fridrich or start with another?

Thanks for the links Stachuk1992, I like Roux. I'm gonna practise it because I think it's interesting know how to solve the cube by different ways. I like Petrus too, but I prefer Roux. I don't know much about it so, it's a nice method?

May the cube be with you, young Spaniard.

Welcome to the forums. I recommend Roux over Fridrich.

Roux is a great method. If you need any help with it, I would suggest looking up "cubes4lyfe" on youtube.
He has a Roux method walkthrough.

Nice channel, I understand more or less the method but with his tutorials I'm sure I'm gonna do it better. Thanks for the information.
