Intuitive VS Alg. assisted f2l

[rishidoshi]

What about your own video. Don't you want people to watch that too?

oh i do want ppl to watch it!! but OP is sub 20 already so i guess he needs something advanced. hey but i guess my vid can simplify the whole physics of cubie movements. So just watch it. may be you might pick up a few things. who knows

I thought feliks' how to get faster vids were terrible. But they were so bad I'm not sure I got to the f2l part lol.

There's nothing wrong with learning 'algs' for f2l. Just try to understand them/apply them to other cases.

yea .. things were too fast in that. i cudnt track things easily. but theres a part where he suggests a few algs instead of pure intuitive approach n i found them pretty decent. i think u should practice each f2l case so hard that it becomes as quick (fingertricks n all) as an algy move. like those sick olls n plls.

I don't believe he ever finished the series, he stopped at F2L.

There's no harm in learning some F2L cases. A lot of people refer to it as being intuitive because you're meant to be able to figure it out. But your intuitive solution might not be the shortest nor optimal for finger tricks.

If you go through more F2L cases then at least you can compare the algorithms and decide what suits you best.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the distinction between intuitive and algorithmic F2L is the most ludicrous concept I have ever heard about. Why not use both? What's intuitive to me is magic to a n00b. Once you get experienced, a lot of algs will be intuitive. I think the M2 U' M U2 M' U' M2 PLL is intuitive, because it's just a commutator with setup-moves and a cancellation. Should I use the intuitive PLL or the algorithmic PLL? Let's make a new thread with a poll about it!!

What a bunch of rubbish!

Ultimately, you want to be able to do every single case from every angle without any pauses (no pauses between pair up/insert for example), so you also want to practice every single case from every angle without any pauses. This is purely algorithmic. You also want to have an intuitive understanding of how it works, that makes it easier to remember them (during team solves, and on very slow puzzles) and perhaps find your own shortcuts if you understand the F2L system.

It's 2 sides of the same coin.
