Am i doing it right ? F2l Fridrich

[Miikalsen]

Well, i sub arond 1.05 with Fridrich I know 7/8 2Look OLL and 3 of the 2Look PLL's

I spend around 40 sec avarage on the cross and F2L.

Am i doing it right now by trying to look ahead to the next pair before i solved the one before? is this a good way of learning or solving faster over some time ?


I really need to get my F2l down to atleast 25 sec.

Yes you should work on efficiency... Slow down and don't stop.

 

[Miikalsen]

So i am actually doing right by looking ahead at that way..

Feels kinda strange and un usual but.

 

[Godmil]

It is difficult but it helps in the long run.

 

[Miikalsen]

Yeah well, ill try to do some F2L Only and Look ahead for the next pair. Ill try as much as possible before the weekend and ill try a AVG5

Hey, a norwegian, coming to NC12?

 

[Miikalsen]

When it is and where?




Not sure really.. I'm averaging around a minute but.. May be fun


BTW, added you on skype lol, we norwegian need to stick together

Well i have the same problem but it seems that concertrating on a specific colour at first like doing the white cross for a week and a half helps tremendusly.Hope this helps!

You should try to learn F2L sideways, backwards .etc.
But I have developed a method for small cubes where you look at a bird's eye view of the cube. This will only help on small cubes by showing all F, U R, L, and B faces.

Really now!!!! That doesn't seem possible unless you have a third eye. At most you should be able to see FRUL, if you can see those then B shouldn't be visible.

Please show me how you do this.

 

[Cuberty]

You should have eyes wide apart, but centered. After that, look about a foot away from the cube. The last step depends on if you have really big eyes, you should get a small cube for more vision. I would call it "Rubik's 360 vision".

F2L is difficult. It may seem hard and slow to get the hang of finding pairs, and looking ahead, etc., but in the long run, it will be very helpful to learn and WILL make you faster.

F2L slows you way down when you first learn it, so don't worry. I was averaging a minute with beginners, and then when I learn 4 Look Last Layer and Intuitive F2l, my times were up to 1:30. But as I practiced, learned all OLLs and PLLs, learned a few algs for difficult cases, and began exploring lookahead by turning slower, I sit on a 20 second average using F2L tricks I learned just by toying around with the cube and practicing, and I still have some more room to practice and sub 15. When you have trouble with the pairs, remember that it will make you much faster by just experience and practice. I can barely sub 40 on beginners today. One more thing.
