Help me improve in 3x3 please!

Hi
I learn't all my PLLs except G's.
I made this vid to show everyone how I do the cube. And I need some tips to improve.
Especially my F2L

Go slower and look ahead. You also seem to be beating seven bells out of your cube, chill out and be smoother.

3 things:

1.stop the unncessary cube rotations
2. do what the above poster said.
3. Finally, PRACTICE

Especially in OLL, just do Us instead of cube rotations to do it from the right angle And sometimes, in PLL, it's easier (depends of case and of the cubers prefferences) to do a U *PLL case* U' instead of y *PLL case*

Concerning F2L, what I did was that I looked at each F2L cases that I executed slowly and tried do come up with a fast way to do it.

Do cross on bottom! Or when inserting the last cross piece, do a hidden cube rotation at the same time. What I mean by that, is that instead of doing a L2, you can do a r2, to bring the cross down to the piece, instead of bringing the piece up to the cross, and then doing cube rotations. It's really not that hard to do, and will also help your looking ahead on your f2l

I still need to learn 2 of the 9 2-look OLL algorithms and I also use 2-look PLL, and I still get times pretty much the same as you, because I try not to use cube rotations and also have given each f2l case some consideration.

EDIT: Oh and by the way, white cross FTW

EDIT: Oh and by the way, white cross FTW

There's nothing wrong with green cross. Switching to white isn't going to be a major factor in making him faster.

I actually build my cross on top (though I'm pretty flexible about this; sometimes I do it on the back) and then move it to the left as I finish the cross and begin F2L (I do cross on left). You could probably work on that transition; your cube rotations look clunky and waste moves and time. During F2L, your finger speed is great, but that isn't going to do anything for you if there's a long pause between every pair. Repeat after me: slow down and look ahead. You can't go fast without first learning to go slow.

In addition to improving your lookahead, practice will also reduce your recognition times. It seems to take you quite a long time to recognize some of your PLLs.

Finally, finish your algorithms! Your +2's are not the result of a loose cube being misaligned, you're just not finishing the last move!

switch to a mini type c =)

what kind of cube are you using? OF course practise and look ahead are the best ways to improve, but mayhaps another cube would help?

I know. It was a little thing called fun..

Win statement.

I'd say there are too many cube rotations.
