ok thanks

Don't throw aside LBL, if you do it right, you can get ~3's Just turn fast.

I average around 10 secs on 2x2 here's what I use

2x2 WitTwo
Method LBL

Which method will make my times be around 6 sec
Ortega or CLL?

Ortega is easy. But I'm planning to learn CLL next.

I just cannot get faster at any puzzle. I believe it is my turn speed. How can I improve my turn speed?

I just cannot get faster at any puzzle.

This is definitely false. Chances are it's not your turnspeed, but some combination of efficiency and lookahead. People can get well under 20 with slow turning.

But to answer your question: drill algs mostly. Turning as fast as you can in F2L is almost never a good idea

Does anyone know of a z4 tutorial? I tried using the one on the wiki. I just don't get it. Thanks.

I used to use Z4, and it really is nothing special. (very inefficient)

I strongly recommend a ZZ-adaptation of the Yau method. Basically,
1) first 2 centers
2) form and place df and db eoline "cross pieces" as well as another random edge pair on the left
3) complete rest of centers and another random edge pair on the left
4) pair edges (try pairing the last few edges intelligently to orient some previously made edge pairs [RU'R' vs R'FRF'])
5) orient the last few edges (that you didn't orient before) and solve orientation parity
6) zz it out + pll parity

I've been writing on up for a while on the wiki, but on another page. It's here:

Whenever you feel like it's gotten slower.

Thanks I like that a lot. But which centers should you do first?

 

[JasonK]

Thanks I like that a lot. But which centers should you do first?

2 opposite centres, one of which will be your D face when you do 3x3 stage.

 

[MaeLSTRoM]

Thanks I like that a lot. But which centers should you do first?

do your L/R colours centres, because then no rotations are needed for the rest of the solve.

Is SCMU STORE trustable...?
has someone ordered from this website...?
how long it takes to ship orders...?

what does solving big cubes with lines mean?

 

[bran]

Just for fun has any tried to reduce the 4x4 to a 2x2 instead of 3x3 and solve it that way.
