New to speed cubing

If you ordered from cube depot, you should read their site. It says 1-2 days processing. It's a thing called common sense. It'll be processed tomorrow.
 
can i bump now?

Meh... Its fine I guess, but there isnt much of a reason to bump. i would still try not to. Definitely start looking at new speedcubes, and better fingertricks, although im not sure how they are now. Try downloading prisma puzzle timer to time ur self and to practice. Try to upload a youtube video so we can,give you more help.

youtube video as requested. Bad solve, awkward position due to camera.

I like how you replace a good corner with a bad one ;-)

Seriously: just keep practicing untill you get more comfortable with your current LBL method.
And definately browse through the forums.
99% of the questions you may have have already been discussed multiple times.

If you want to stick with CFOP then badmephisto is the site / YT channel to visit.
 
lol yeah that was a mistake.

Don't worry, we've all done stuff like that!

The best thing for now is to keep practicing, eventually you'll have to think less and you'll spot pieces easier.
Then it become time too look around for a method that suits you.

You may already consider switching to cross on D though...
 
Well first of all, solve the cross on the bottom. I noticed you did it on the top and then you flipped the cube.
And really, I'm not a speedcuber by any means but let me tell you, I'd rather not get into advanced cross just yet. First, make sure you master CFOP. For that, I'd recommend Badmephisto's tutorial.
 
good choice
although there is different methods im not saying CFOP is bad or slow but roux petrus and zz are all very good methods you might want to look into
choose correctly cause later you might want to switch methods
its easier to switch before you start to learn all the algs of one method
or learn 2 methods one for 2H and one for OH
 
what is cfop?

Cross
F2L
OLL
PLL
i prefer just calling it fridrich.

anyway, I was at your level half a year ago and now I'm around 25 seconds. This is what I did:
1. do cross on bottom
2. try looking ahead- it doesn't do much in LBL, but once you learn F2L its important to have the habit to do so.
3. once you're around sub-minute with your LBL method (took me about 2 weeks) i say learn intuitive f2l and get a new cube.
my storebought looked just as locky as yours, and switching to a DIY dropped me about 5 seconds.
4. 2look, advanced cross, and lots of practice.

the rest are the steps I need to take and you will soon take to become sub-20 and beyond.
5. Full PLL
6.Advanced F2L or Alg F2L
7. full OLL
