Well, when it is U-adj, I know which O perm to do to get adj-adj. I learnt O perm on bottom to do the same for adj-U, but my hands tend to want to do O perm on top instead due to muscle memory, as the algs are so similar.

Yeah that's what I meant. I couldn't tell you which one was cw or ccw, but give me a case and I'll solve it for you

I don't know adj-U yet but it's basically the alg reversed so it would be
/3.3/5.0/-2.0/-4.0/-4.0/0.-4/0.-2/0.1/3.3/
and
/-3.-3/0.-1/0.-2/0.-4/0.-4/-4.0/-2.0/-5.0/-3.-3/
/3.3/5.0/-2.0/-4.0/-4.0/0.-4/0.-2/0.1/3.3/
and
/-3.-3/0.-1/0.-2/0.-4/0.-4/-4.0/-2.0/-5.0/-3.-3/

It took me way too long to figure out why I don't know U/adj or adj/U >_>

Is there a way to get faster at cube shape (other than just practicing) because it still takes me about 8 - 10 seconds?
(I would like to be at about 6)

Optimally?
Well, you can actually derive the optimal way to do all the shapes yourself. Consider all of the three move shape combinations (such as scallop-scallop, kite-scallop, square-shield and r paw-l paw are the most useful ones) and then try to reduce shapes down to these. Optimal cube shape is that anyway.

That's what I've been doing, I guess I haven't practiced enough though. I'm going to try to make sure I get it into a square in 7 /s or less, so I know I'm doing it almost optimally.

yeah basically what MTGjumper said, learn the 3 moves first, then four move ones. sometimes it help to look at the chart from jaap's site

This is better IMO http://www.alchemistmatt.com/cube/square1list.html#61

I failed my average at TOSp, the solves were:
39.96 48.06 1:01.08 21.52 32.52 = 40.18 (Parity 3/5)
New Breakdown:
Cube Shape: 7
OBL: 8
CP: 4
EP: 15
Total: 34
Parity: 7

Would anyone mind watching a few of my solves to give me some hints on improvement? If so, I would go ahead and do a video tomorrow. I currently average 40 seconds.

this is pretty good. try to get OBL and CP down to 4 and 2 respectively. The algs are much easier to memorize than EPs.
EDIT: why does parity take 7 seconds? um try to not use the adj parity but parity and U perm, learn all four combinations, they're quite useful.
Sure
