Need help to improve my times!

[angelu1125]

So I've recently been averaging around 21 seconds for a long time. I've managed to learn nearly all of my PLL's (4 more to go!), know all basic OLL's + a couple more & it takes me round' about 10-15 seconds to do my Cross & F2L. I know I really need to improve on my F2L and Im color neutral but if I do my cross on white help me at all?

Well, got any tips?

Definitely stay colour neutral

Finish learning PLL.

Practice more F2L (turn faster!)

 

[angelu1125]

Sweet. Is there like any good tutorials on howto get faster at F2L? I've watched Desie37's one and it kinda helped me and I never got around to watch badmephisto's F2L videos. Will it help me with ma F2L?

See Erik's and Felik's ones.
They are pretty good IMO

Pause less, turn faster, use fewer moves.

 

[angelu1125]

Shot. Pausing less, Turning faster, using fewer moves & lookin` ahead actually got me to 19 secs. Yay!!

 

[angelu1125]

do you guys think I should start learning OLL now while learning the rest of my PLL's or should I finish PLL then learn OLL?

 

[Faz]

Learn OLL's and PLL's at whatever rate you feel like. It can be helpful to know some random OLL cases here and there.

I have a simmilar problem, but i don't do color nuetral (i can but then i am 4 sec slower),my avg is 20 and i cant get sub 20 consistently, my cross is about 12 sec, and i know all of my plls and about a third of my olls, ive been stuck like this for at least two months

I think you should get faster at your cross & if it is really necessary turn faster. Im currently stuck at the last 3 PLL's at http://thesixsides.com/rubikscube/algorithms/pll.php

and at the parralel lines. The algs for me are just really hard to remember & quite hard to recognise...

Try R2 U R' U' y (R U R' U')*2 R U R' y' R U' R2' for that case it's the one I use

Thanks! Pretty easy to memorize
3 more PLL's to go...

 

[angelu1125]

Does any of you know any good algs for the last three I need to learn?

 

[Inf3rn0]

The [wiki]PLL[/wiki] wiki has multiple algs for each case. Pick the one you like the most.

Or take a look at Erik's video where he demonstrates all of his PLLs:
