I Finally Can Solve it!!!

[InfernoTowel]

Sorry guys, I was just trying to sum it up for people that know zero about it. My goal was to sum up solving the rubik's cube in one paragraph, which is basically impossible.

Is there a hybrid method you guys know of? Something between the 8 algorithms in the beginners method and the 70-80 in the fridrich? Something with 20-30 algs that would get me closer to 45-50 seconds with lots of practice?

Fridrich, but with 2-look OLL and PLL. That's...not even 20 algorithms. And you can get below 45 seconds easily with it, lol, I've just been lazy.

I'd also reccomend picking up a speedcube, which allows you to turn the cube more quickly and efficiently (like I'm sure you've seen in videos). The types people prefer are the F-II and Alpha V (though the Alpha V generally needs to be modified, but the Haiyan Memory is just a pre-modified Alpha V, so I'd reccomend that.) These cubes can be purchased at sites like cubingstore.webs.com and speedcubeshop.webs.com.

Ummm, no

^ truth. people get the impression that you have no life if you take your cube everywhere. even if you don't, that's not a good first impression at all. :3

Probably if you're in your 20s and up. But if you're a kid, it just makes people stare with mouths hanging open :rolleyes:

naw. I got that before (I'm 13), even know I don't take my cube everywhere. But some of the people who thought that at first are now my really good friends, ironically.

Yep. You can get under 20 with it. But you'll find that learning PLL makes that a lot easier.

I'm very close to sub 20 with F2L(intuitive) 2-Look OLL and 2-Look PLL

full 2 look OLL is 10 algs
full PLL is 21 algs

10+21>20

I'm very close to sub 20 with F2L(intuitive) 2-Look OLL and 2-Look PLL

Then learn OLL/PLL, and you'll start averaging sub 20 in no time. Especially with PLL.

OMG GRATS

I'm pretty sure he meant 2-look OLL and 2-look PLL. Which is 10+6=16.

 

[rubiknewbie]

If you know simultaneous edge-corner F2L insertion, you can also try intuitive VHF2L + corner OLL + PLL = 16 + 7 + 21 algorithms

 

[blah]

the Haiyan Memory is just a pre-modified Alpha V, so I'd reccomend that.

Practice, Practice, Practice until you get a 1 minute solve. Then only learn Fridrich method.

 

[denhil3]

Practice and never never give up!!!

That is all kind of confusing. So I need to learn to solve the first two layer intuitively and then learn to solve the final layer using 2-look OLL and 2-look PLL?

How do I go about solving the first two layer intuitively? Obviously I have to solve the cross intuitively now, but is there an instruction video just for the full F2L intuitive?

And can someone provide a 2-look OLL instruction video and a 2-look PLL instruction video?

As mentioned several times before: check out Badmephisto's Youtube channel.
It has got all the video's you are asking.

Best ones, by far.

2-look OLL and PLL are really, really simple. It's basically just identifying what case you have, and then you just apply the corresponding algorithm.

 

[davidgreece]

usually the most thing you need to concentrate on when your using the beginner method is the white cross or any other colour (the first step) because the beginner's f2l is just algorithms unless your using 2Look OLL and PLL you might want to practice the execution. Try to learn some fingertricks

 

[rubiknewbie]

Normally bottleneck for F2L is thinking time so the aim is to cut down on pauses, bottleneck for last layer is execution time so the aim is speed.
