solving advice?

[blakedacuber]

ok so i avg around 23ish...
and have been for nearly 2 months
currently use intuitive f2l 2loll(plus a few extras) 1lpll
so i did a few avg's and heres my times
cross only:
3.99
4.01
4.82
2.22
2.75
average: 3.58

cross+f2l:
20.58(messed up 2 adjacent cross edges)
15.54
13.18
14.49
14.30
average: 14.78

cross+f2l+oll:
19.97
21.73
22.92
21.85
22.59
average: 22.06

full solve:
26.90
21.56
23.77
24.28
27.07
average:24.98(that was a bad average lol)
so im curious as to where ii need to improve?
f2l?
finish oll?
relearn some pll's?


please help...
thanks

cross and F2L

 

[bluecloe45]

it seems ur F2l is not the best. Try to look ahead in f2l and find fast cases for different f2l setups. Also, a way to trim a second off ur time is to look ahead from the end of the last f2l pair to what oll case you will get.

 

[hawkmp4]

Two look OLL shouldn't be taking you six seconds either, I wouldn't think. See if you can cut that down too.

 

[mr6768]

I think you do pll bad. about 5 seconds . make it faster and work on your F2L and cross at last !
i have an average like you . we are exactly the same

 

[Winball]

I avg30 and I know all the PLL's
(I struggle with cross and look-ahead)

 

[denhil3]

it takes me about 3-4s to finish 2 look oll. Try to have a 2s avg of the cross.
f2l +cross: 10-12s on avg.

 

[Chapuunka]

Turn it randomly.

..

 

[josmil1]

your oll takes 7-8 seconds....learn full oll...practice that and f2l lookahead

You don't need to learn full OLL yet by any means. You should be able to sub-5 your OLL at least, and sub-4 for some cases. Work on that, I'd say.

Hi.
imo, your F2L is actually decent compared to other stuff.
Your cross needs work - that's certain. Take a lot of time (over 15s) and try to plan the entire thing out.
Also, assuming you're using 2-Look-OLL:
stick with it, but either recognize faster or get some nice algs, because 6s for OLL is a bit high. The edge portion should be like 1.5s with recog, and the corners in ~2.5. imo, ofc.

Your PLLs are fine - if you have any cases that you don't particularly like, list them, and I'll try to inform you of some sexy algs.

g perms and f perm preferrably rotationless! does anyone have a last layer trainer?

 

[Rpotts]

well they're aren't any good rotationless Gperms, unless you skip the y's and just use Fs instead of Rs, but that's probably slower for most than a quick rotation and a 3 move finger trick.

F perm sucks, it's one of my least fav, I know 3 algs, they all have rotations and they all blow.

EDIT: one of the algs I know has no rotations, but it's longer than the others. It's

(R' U' F') T perm (F U R)

the final F' of Tperm cancels with the F so it becomes

(R' U' F')(R U R' U')(R' F R2 U')(R' U' R U R')( U R)

 

[StachuK1992]

g perms and f perm preferrably rotationless! does anyone have a last layer trainer?

Just use the standard Gs. Do you use the R, u, U ones?

As for F:
R' U' F'
R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' U R (this is basically Tperm)

As for LL trainer, I'm glad you asked!

I just released a super-trainer the other day!

Lemme know if you can't figure out how to use it.

I assume you use the u Gs? Those are actually surprisingly fast after some practice.

I use this for F, I'm not that fast and I can sub-3 it:R' U2 R' U' y R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' F

Edit:Sorry I just realized you asked for a rotationless F perm, but it's not that bad if you execute the U' before the y as a half U' and half d.

 

[Dene]

I'd say you're OLL is worse than anything.

R' U' F'
R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' U R (this is basically Tperm)

is so nice, though

 

[Ranzha]

Learn some easy OLL cases, like the Ts, Ws, Cs, and Ps.
Also, get your cross CONSISTENTLY under 3 seconds.
Also, look for corners you can preserve for the FL. so you just insert the edge in F2L.

I'll do an example solve:
Cross: 2.5
F2L (excluding cross): 12.02
OLL: 1.79
PLL: 3.5 (N).
Altogether, 19.81.
My F2L could be a LOT faster, and I had a P OLL.

 

[blakedacuber]

currently i use this G perm : R L U2 R' U L' U2 R U' L its inverse, mirror a BETirror inverse!what G perms are better?
and my F perm is this : R' U2 R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R U' F
is there any faster algs?

 

[Cride5]

For the G's I use these - all inverses/mirrors of each other:
(y) R2' u R' U R' U' R u' R2 y' R' U R
R' U' R y R2 u R' U R U' R u' R2
(y) R2' u' R U' R U R' u R2 y R U' R'
(y2) R U R' y' R2 u' R U' R' U R' u R2

As anon says, they're probably the fastest ones.
