Want to get Faster at Square-1

[vcuber13]

Right now i average about 50 seconds on square-1 and i would like to get down to about a 40 second average for the TOS 2010 on March 27.

I know 5/7 eolls, all of the cp. Both the edge cycles,and the h and z perms for the top layer. And for parity i now the adjacent-adjacent, opposite-opposite and the normal adjacent on the top layer.

What would you guys suggest i do it get faster on Square-1?

Break down:
Cube - ~12
Orientation - ~12
CP - ~6
EP - ~20
Total - ~50

breakdown of your time? For me cubeshape is the hardest step, and for EP you just have to memorize algs. Also practice the accuracy of your turning. Do 1, 0/-1, -1/0, 1 100+ a day.

Use this method for cubeshape.

Use this method for cubeshape.

And use all of David's other Sq-1 videos. They got me to a 23-ish average from a 55 average within like, 2 days.

Get better at cubeshape and practise a lot is all you can really do.

Use adjacent-adjacent for pretty much every EP. I'm not kidding.

Also, it wouldn't hurt to learn parity-CP. It's something like 9 extra algs and you recognize parity during CP and then execute them both; that saves you the time of having to do parity separately, and it's far easier than learning all 50 parity EPs.

Use finger tricks instead of hand twisting...watching videos of pro people helps too.

 

[vcuber13]

thanks guys im going to practice the basic cube shapes, recognition and execution, and also finish learning the edge olls (5/7)

 

[vcuber13]

Also, it wouldn't hurt to learn parity-CP.

do you know a site with them?

What is a site you would suggest for the EPs because I'm thinking about learning the double U perms but i find Lars site kind of confusing.

i went on lancetheblueknights website blueknightcubing.com it helped alot
