How much time did it take you to master F2L

[ilikecubing]

When did you start and when did you start getting consistent get sub 12s and sub 13s on it....only the F2L Part.

 

[TheMachanga]

Around 9 months (seriously).

 

[JackJ]

I don't know. 2ish years on and off maybe?

 

[Shortey]

Mastering F2L? Please...

 

[JackJ]

He did specify what his version of "mastering" was... Of course getting 12 seconds for f2l is pretty meh...

About 7 months to get my F2L that fast, but that's honestly no where near mastery.
I would consider "mastery" (which is not the same as perfect) to be consistent sub 7 F2L.

 

[avgdi]

By your definition I have "mastered" F2L. By my definition I'm not even close.

 

[ilikecubing]

Yes maybe its been only 2 months since i started cubing,so for me mastering f2l is still just like sub 12 for now

Sorry I should have given a thought before posting

 

[PhillipEspinoza]

I may be harsh but I would say mastering F2L would be consistently sub-6, if not sub-5.

lol @ 2 weeks^^

my F2L is at 9-12 sec atm and I am cubing since september 2009. so definitely over half a year to "master" F2L...

 

[ilikecubing]

Uhm so atleast vote in the poll for how much time did it take u to reach sub 12 F2L if not mastering it

About two years ago I learned 'algorithmic F2L' and it took less than 2 days. I got pretty comfortable recognizing and executing the 41 cases over the next few days. I don't know exactly how long F2L took in a normal solve back then but I'm pretty sure it was around 13ish, so I voted for less than 2 weeks.

If I remember correctly, Harris Chan had a 6.88 average of 12 almost 3 years ago, I think.

Pretty sure the definition of "mastery" has changed over the course of 3 years.

I started with intuitive but i learned algorithmic from cubestation.co.uk,i memorised all the 42 cases but soon after i switched back to intuitive for cases where your cross color sticker is in F and R faces,but i still use algorithmic for cases in which cross color sticker is on Top.

By the way where did u get your Algorithms for F2L when you were learning 2 yrs back.

I'll let you know.

 

[cmhardw]

After 12 years I still have not mastered F2L.

 

[Litz]

12/13 seconds for only F2L is not even close to mastery in my opinion. I don't know for sure but it didn't take long. It gets way harder the faster you get.

 

[Zeat]

I started cubing 8 month ago, and now i complete f2l in 11-12 se
