What Do I Do Now?

[Tykwondo35]

Hello. I avarage around 1 min to 1 min 19 sec. I use F2l. Although many websites say I should have learned 2 look Pll (already use2 look oll) before f2l. Then when I avarege 50 sec learn f2l.

Should I just stay with f2l and learn 2 look pll or
go back to beginners first two layers (which I'm slower at) and learn 2 look pll and f2l later.

Goal sub 50.
Thanks

i averaged 40 when i did 4 look last layer and used keyhole... i would learn 2 look pll (since you alredy know oll) because they arent really that hard to learn... then practice practice practice on frdrich f2l!

thanks i think all do that but let me see what some other speed cubers say.
P.S I tryed keyhole, I stink.

well, you could do what you want to do, i learned f2l before 2 look pll, and that wasnt a problem to me, dont know what difference it would make to learn 2 look pll first, maybe its just to steadly decrease time (and thus making you more motivated), but in the end it wont matter as much i think...

There's nothing stopping you from practising F2L while you learn your PLLs. Just go for it and learn your 2 look algs, after that move on to 1 look PLL and all the while practice your F2L.

Good luck!

EDIT: Also, don't pay attention to these fictional time limits people put on you. You can learn anything you want, at any time, no matter what you average. I always tell people to learn algs as early as they feel they are able. =)

coming from someone who avarages where I want to avarage that sounds great

Definitely stick with F2L. Just learn 2-look PLL and then 1-look PLL if you feel motivated enough.

Yea, stick with F2L, learn 2-look PLL, and practice.

Also, if you haven't already, start using finger tricks and lubricate your cube.

Learn 4LLL , practice f2l lotssss till u get 40 sec, then learn full pll

OR you can learn anything when you see fit, since it wont make any difference if your avg is 40 sec or 2 min, the alg's dont change depending on your time (I think...), just get some algs that you think suits you, and you will be fine

 

[Chapuunka]

Definitely make sure you get good algs, not just the first one you see. Otherwise, what everyone else has already said.

Just learn stuff whenever you feel like it. I average 25 seconds and I still just use 4LLL because I'm too lazy to learn full PLL (but I'm working on it )

You can't just try keyhole. You need to work with it for a while, just like every other method.

wow thanks every one. Any more suggestions?
