This was my average.


I need some tips to get faster, any help would be appreciated.

 

[Dene]

Practise...?

 

[Faz]

but my moves are so slow. I need some tips of which fingers to use for which moves. Also, my PLLs are dreadfully slow.

 

[Lofty]

well as you practice your moves will get faster. And everyone develops there only style of OH cubing. Me, Ryan P, Jeremy F, and Rama all have different sets of fingertricks and style that we do, and that is just 4 of us who I know all turn different but are pretty fast. Just practice it a lot and your turn speed will get better.

 

[esquimalt1]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

 

[Faz]

It just goes to show that with enough practice you too can set a world record Ibrahim

 

[esquimalt1]

Yup, you sure proved that.

 

[freshcuber]

How far you've come in two years is insane. Four WRs multiple continental and national records (30+ but Australia isn't a very large continent as far as # of countries goes. Still extremely impressive) Do you use LL algs you found someplace or did you develop your own?

 

[eastamazonantidote]

I CAN BEAT FAZ AT AN EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!owait............

 

[rubiknewbie]

WTF? Feliks has been slow before? That's ridiculous!

Now I can tell my friends I am now faster than the current world record holder was 2 years ago!

This is kinda off topic, but you can't know 0 OLL's if you know how to solve the cube (In your sig)

I'm well aware that this is impossible. It's been pointed out to me twice before. It's only a 0/57 to show that I'm concentrating on PLL and not OLL and it also shows that I don't even know 2-look and that I still use my beginners method to orient the last layer. I think my times are decent since it can take me up to five algs to orient the last layer. But rest assured once I learn the last three PLL algs I'll learn 2-look just to make everyone here happy (and cause sub-25 without it would probably be pretty tough)

Ok, so I wasn't going to comment, after Eric's post, but seriously, there are other methods than just CFOP.

 

[Faz]

But if you use Roux, You still know at least like 5-10 OLL's

 

[Innocence]

But if you use Roux, You still know at least like 5-10 OLL's

Name one step of roux in which you HAVE to use an OLL.

 

[Faz]

CMLL uses OLL algorithms. And don't go telling me you use a sune algorithm that affects DF and DB edges, because that's retarded.

 

[Tim Major]

Exactly. Also, notice I said other methods, not Roux.

[RCTACameron]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

On a 2 year old thread...

It's scary to think that Faz was once slower than I am now, and asked people for advice. I doubt that I will be anywhere near as fast as he is now at OH in two years... but I can try.

/off topic

Name a speedsolving method that doesn't use an OLL algorithm. Maybe CF?
