How do you get faster?(I need help in fridrich method)

[lavi]

Ok so my name is roee and I new here
I'm sorry for my bad English
so that's my story: a year ago I got a fake chaina rubix cube and I started to learn how to solve it ( I lernead the lbl method) and after some weeks I could solve it in 1.5 minutes but the cube was distroyed and I stopped it and now( before a month) I learned the fedrich method 2 look and now I do it in 1min and 15 sec in avarage (I use normal rubix)

So I want to ask how did you get faster in fredrich method?
Ty all for the help

The next steps for you would be to learn 1 look PLL followed by 1 look OLL. Other than that, practising your F2L is very important.

You're at a stage where you should see improvement very quickly, just be patient.

(By the way, "how do I get faster" threads, without any specific issue are likely to be poorly received. Expect a lot of silly answers!)

Just practice. Make sure you have good algs, learn proper finger tricks, look ahead.

And welcome.

First at all, a good cube makes a big difference (i'm referent to original rubik's cube speed vs good cube speed). Get an F-II , an Alpha V , or a GuHong if you have the money.

In the Fridrich method: use intuitive F2L (first 2 layers), then go for a 2-look OLL, and then PLL.

About the cross: do the cross facing down , and after you do it pretty well, do it blindfolded (this may speedup your cross assembly)

btw, 3d cube movements of the Fridrich at Erik's site: http://www.erikku.110mb.com/F2Lalgo.html

Click on the cube and a window will pop up

tanks you all
i'll practise well, and i'll improve my cross
more people?

 

[uberCuber]

basically do a bunch of solves without timing them, and purposely go slowly, probably very very slowly at first, to learn look-ahead. Once you see the corner and edge for a F2L pair, get used to doing the moves to put them together without looking at them. This way you can look for the next corner and edge while inserting the current pair. Once you get better at this it allows for less pauses in between corner-edge pairs in the F2L

I don't think you should have learned Fridrich yet, in my opinion. You can use LBL until you're down to, I'd say, 40 seconds.
The LBL phase of speedsolving, I believe, really sets the tone of how you are going to move forward. Using LBL for as long of a time as I did (seven months, and down to a 32-second average) really helped me transition into Fridrich, mainly because after experimenting a little with algorithms I already knew, I was able to do more things. It was around this time that I noticed that doing edges before corners after the cross lets you use 2-generator algorithms that were really fast.
However, since you do Fridrich F2L, 2-look OLL, and 2-look PLL, you should just practise. Get down to, at the slowest, 40 seconds. This can be acquired through mild practise for as little as three weeks. I did it in that amount of time using LBL, and using F2L and 4-look last layer, at its efficiency rate, should help your times improve.
Also, you said you're using a Rubik's storebought cube. Is it stiff? If so, take out a row (two corners and an edge, forming a row) and insert a small amount of Vaseline into the cube, work it in, do solves for a few days, and clean the Vaseline out. You should notice a remarkable difference in the cube quality.

As for anything else, I do NOT suggest you hop right in to buying speedcubes and such. I dealt with a Vaselined storebought for seven months with an LBL variation method and I got down to 32 before switching. You can too!

But look how slowly you progress

Nothing wrong with getting a good cube now. Gets rid of one less excuse for slow times. I actually do recommend learning another method asap. You don't want inefficient habits to carry over later on (get the good stuff first ), and it give you time to look things over. Maybe you want to switch to a different one?

Of course, I agree with everything else you posted.

The main reason I progress slowly is due to a lack of practise.
I don't necessarily think that getting a better cube now will affect times as much. When I got my C4Y cube, my first EVAR cube outside of a storebought, my times went into the 29-31 range. With LBL. My friend Jacob used my mini Diansheng right from the start, and then he bought himself a Ghost Hand at a comp when he tagged along with me. Since he didn't experience using a storebought, he takes the GH for granted.

anyway, getting a better method earlier automatically gets rid of your bad habits. Quite frankly, I was down from sixty seconds to forty seconds in just under four weeks with a lubed storebought. After that, I didn't practise much.

anyway, back on-topic: Practise the hell out of your cube. Using a storebought for longer lets you appreciate good cubes moar. Edward would know about that XD.

Lavi: Next time, search the forum for you question before you ask it because someone could have already answered your question 3 years ago and you didn't know it. And when it's something like "how to get faster" then there's probably a sticky forum for it.

maybe you right ut i know 2 look pll and 2 look oll and all this method
and now to take it and drop it seemed to me like stupied thing
maybe i have somthing to do in this method?

50 solves a day, preferably timed.
