Is there a better way to speed up last layer algs than just doing them over and over?

tie a rOCKET ATO YOUR FINGERS

oj but seriously just practice teres a LL simulator somwone will find it if u sk nicely cause idk what its calld

2 questions
1) Aka's for Cyclo lube? (The lube for xcube). Is it just regular heavy duty CRC?

Overtime they will improve. Your TPS will increase thus making your LL faster

Huh? English?

Anyway, just spend a day going through all your LL algs, and figure out your finger tricks for each one, and just practice..

Thanks everyone. My last layer takes 1/3 to 1/2 of my solve time so I figured I should work on it, but didn't know how to go about it.

Some PLL's are just 2 different algorithms together. Learning them as 2 algs side by side may be easier. OLL's are easy to mirror to the other hand, and if they're short you can also see their inverses. That may have been a bit complicated for you judging that you just figured out F2L, but I'll be happy to clarify if needed.

Y is the only one I can think of that is 2. What else?

Im fairly sure I use the popular algs for at least half of my PLLs.

 

[RyanReese09]

It should take 1/3 of your time. I average 15.3ish or whatever. It depends. But I finish F2L at like 10 seconds, perhaps a shade faster, or a shade slower. Just keep doing solves. It'll go down.

T-perm is two I think, though two moves cancel so aren't done.


RyanReese09: I tend to finish F2L between 10 and 15 seconds, then the other 8ish seconds is LL

What's a good Glow in the Dark cube from lightake?

He means triggers.

Lotsa practice, then.

I average sub 30 and I'm learning my PLLs, but I feel I am not getting better. How can improve my TPS. Please don't say just practice, what could I specifically practice or learn?

seriously unless you want to sit around doing timed (R U R' U') x6 triggers all day, the best way is just to practice. PLL time attacks maybe

is cross on right a better option than cross on bottom for right handers?

 

[RyanReese09]

Cross on left would be better. Cross on right would force a lot of left hand moves.

Cross on bottom is fine though..nothings wrong with it. You can do left if you so wish.

I use cross on left. I find that cross on bottom gives lots of RULFy solves and cross on left gives RUDlx moves, which I find sexier. Cross on right would give LUDrx solves, better for the left hand.

 

[ilikecubing]

ok but is it faster than cross on bottom,cuz ive heard some of the top cubers doing that?

Edit:Ok thanks i got it

Some people such as Faz/Rowe use cross on bottom, some people like Phillip Espinoza (I think I spelled that correctly) use cross on left. It's whatever you want to do. Both are fast.

 

[freshcuber]

Erik solves his cross on top although the last move is usually something like an r2 that puts it on the bottom.

 

[ilikecubing]

I'm trying out FMC for quite some time now using CFOP but i m never able to get a solve less than 50 moves.

What alternatives should i try? I wanna get to somewhere below 40 moves.

 

[TiLiMayor]

You could try petrus, roux or even heise, it all depends on the scramble. look for other blockbuilding methods and also for ZZ algs edit: (with some edge control)
