Decreasing times

[luckyownz92]

Lately while I've been learning PLL's, my times have been dramatically decreasing. I used to be a 35ish average (of 12) but now I can barely finish sub-60 times. Should I keep on learning the PLL's then moving on to practicing or practice and then learn PLL? Any help is appreciated

 

[slncuber21]

keep learning the PLLs until u memorize them all and then just practice, practice, practice. you will get it soon and your avg. will decrease good luck

If your times before were 35 avg, then I would learn the pll's while lightly practicing your regular solve and when you know them all practice you solve with pll a lot and your times will go down

Screw learning algs. I didn't even get close to learning all my PLLs until I was about at the 18sec level and I don't even know all the OLLs now. (I average 13sec now)

I would just practice.

do you use petrus?

 

[luckyownz92]

I use the Fridrich method with an intuitive F2l and at most 4LLL.

mabye u were getting 4 look LL
btw, PRACTICE
and if ur times go up, it's called INCREASING

 

[coopersacatfilms]

memorize all of them then pracice them and you will get sube 30-ish times or at least close.

PLL might not be the problem if you're doing Fridrich...

have you taken an F2L average yet?

You average 13 seconds with the Fridrich Method and you don't even know all the OLLs??!?!!?!?!?!?!?

I never knew that was possible! You must have like a 1.5 second cross, 7 second F2L, 3 second OLL, and like a 2 second PLL. AMAZING!!

"get close to learning all my PLLs until I was about at the 18sec level" - wow you must of had a super fast cross, F2L, and 2 Look OLL then. UNBELIEVABLE!

@pcwiz, actually my friend doesn't know any OLL's except for the ones needed for 3 look and he averages about 11 seconds.

Also, now I have learned all PLLS, and 29/57 OLL's but still averaging around 27 seconds... I just need to get my F2L to about 10 seconds and I'll be faster but it's really hard :S

 

[Lofty]

well I am quite certain Timothy and I know the same algs...
We know almost all the OLL alg's but use edge control to avoid ones with no edges oriented.
@luckyownz92 who is your friend?

 

[luckyownz92]

@Lofty, his name is Josh Nguyen but I'm pretty sure he hasn't been to any competitions so nothing is really official with his times.

Have you witnessed these solves? Idk something just seems a but off in these videos no timer and the video time is always exactly the solve time..
he starts with the cube in his hand doesn't show the scramble or anything, seems to get loads of U's and his turn rate isn't that fast...
From the videos he seems like a decent solver but 11second average...

so your saying your PLL's take 25 seconds to do!!!

I'm skeptical...
Looks like rehearsed.
