Rubiks cube time slowage

[gundamslicer]

Hi I've been working on f2l, 2 look pll and I'll and my time seems to have increased by like 2x more than usually my ol avg was 50 sec now it's 1:10!!! Is it because I switched my c4u cube to a alpha Iv?

Just keep practicing and it'll get better.

 

[buelercuber]

yea that happened to me, and also when i started using finger-tricks

TRUST US!! IT WILL GET MUCH BETTER!!!. eventually you will be much faster!

you will soon get a good feel of it, and then later on you will be able to manipulate it to be the best for you

Most people get slower as they learn something new. As everyone said, practice and have patience. Worst case, stop timing yourself until your solves become more consistent.

I recently learned full PLL and my times are much slower than 2-Look PLL however, I have noticed over the past few days that as my execution/recognition has improved so have my times. However, I am still slower than my 2-Look which is to be expected.

Well does anyone have a pic on x'??

You rotate the cube 90 degrees CCW on the x-axis. In other words, if you're looking at the cube with yellow on top and green in front, green becomes the top and white becomes the front.

Bookmark http://cubefreak.net/other/glossary.html for definitions of things like x'. An x rotation is like R, so x' is like R'. This may not correspond with what Capuunka just said.

50 to 70 is not doubled, that a should be an and i'm pretty sure you can't just turn a cube4you cube into an Alpha-IV

thats x not x'

and which f2l is better, no algs or algs?

 

[Meisen]

My advice to you is to learn f2l without algs at first. When you feel you master f2l somewhat, you then check out the algorithms for the standard f2l cases. It's a good bet that most algs will be the same as your intuitive way.

And for those cases where you find the algorithm approach to be more efficient... learn them

what are standard f2l cases? can u gimme a list?

can i just learn the importan t ones?

thats x not x'

unless he has green on the B side and his Yellow stickers are weird color changing ones that switch between yellow and white.

importan t whats?

 

[gundamslicer]

f2l the important ones and leave the rest

 

[Tyjet66]

I suggest learning full intuitive.

 

[Rpotts]

f2l the important ones and leave the rest

important ones? they're all pretty important. Just keep doing it, you'll get faster. If you feel some of the cases take a lot longer than others, learn algs for them.
