What Now?

[Dcuber]

I finally know full Fridrich!
I solve around 18 secs
but how can I get faster
I could learn a new method(and add on to fridrich)? or do somtin else
any ideas?

 

[slncuber21]

do u know OLL and PLL? you could start to memorize those to get your LL faster

or do u know the LL algs for Fridrich?

 

[Dcuber]

I know full Firdrich, meaning...
all f2l, and all Oll + Pll

You just need to practice. You can get under 15 seconds knowing what you know now.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Yea, thats what Harris and Nakijima use, and there some of the top speedcubers in the world!

 

[Dcuber]

Thx!!! i'll keep practicing!

 

[jeff081692]

One thing you can do is set a goal for yourself for each step like I did. Cross 2 seconds, 4 pairs 8 seconds, OLL 2 seconds PLL 2 seconds.

 

[Lotsofsloths]

Good idea Jeff.

Since you average 18 now, I guess you are around:

F2l:10-14
OLL:2-4
PLL:2-4

Maybe try and get your OLL
sub 3?
Try and set goals like F2l sub 9.

I am probablly:

F2l: 16
OLL: 2-4
PLL: 3-4

I want to get a sub 15 f2l CONSISTENTLY.
So maybe I need to learn more F2l algs.

oh sry

ur really good, i wish i could get that fast but F2L isnt working too great for me

how long did it take u to get really fast at F2L? my times are slower since i learned it

You could look in to some edge control on last pair.It is very intuitive and interesting.Macky's site has a small list.

 

[Swordsman Kirby]

You're at 18sec? Just practice more, there's nothing else to it, if you're doing Fridrich.

If you were doing Petrus, I would suggest improving on steps 1, 2, and 4a, and maybe learning some ZBLL.

 

[coopersacatfilms]

just practice is all I have to say.

 

[pcwiz]

Try to get your times like....

Cross = Sub 2 seconds - make sure you do it on the bottom of the cube or the left side
F2L = Sub 10 seconds
OLL = Sub 2 seconds
PLL = Sub 3 seconds

15 second average.

At your level, you'll have to look ahead for the cross and F2L, and do the Last Layer as fast as you can. This will be done by practice, practice, and practice. Did I mention practice?

Whats with all the bumps of these 2 month topics? Its getting really frustrating, please stop.

coopersacatfilms and pcwiz,
It's really nice that you are trying to help out people, but I don't think they need the advice anymore after 2+ months.
Also, it's fine to give advice to others slower or about the same as you, but advice to people way faster is ridiculous. I think they've already considered whatever you said before you even started cubing.
