@cool story bro.
but i want to know what the time might be when u just began learning the method and learning 2x2...

At anytime you want. You don't need a certain time to learn it. Although when you hit sub 4 with it you should starting something more advanced like EG SS SOAP or OSPA.

ok,cool,but i heard about CLL. i wonder if its better than ortega,and if i should learn it (are there many algs to learn ?)

 

[emolover]

It's part of EG and you would learn it after Ortega. Ortega is almost no new algs though.

Facing towards you. Sune, anti-Sune . (R U R' U R U2 R' ) (R' U' R U' R' U2 R)

So I can just do those 2 algs in succession? Thanks, BM gave me a WAY different alg in his 2-look OLL vid that was REALLY hard to memorize. LOL.

His videos are fatastic, but i would look for your own Algs, a lot of his really do suck and i ended up regretting learning most of his Pll's.

Depends on the case. If it's for the sexyhammer then left index most likely. In lots of cases, though, such as F2L, I'd use my right thumb

Z, one last question, how do you and other top cubers finger F R' F' R for F2L without cube rotations? (I use my thumbs for F & F' and I want to get out of bad habits as a noob.)

 

[aznanimedude]

is that a bad habit? cuz i use my thumb to do F' and right index for F

Doing F' with the thumb is fine when there is a regrip for doing it with the left index finger.
For example, the t-perm. You'll have to do a regrip if you want to do the F' with the left index finger on the last F'.

Who wrote this on Wikipedia? Its terrible.

Yau method
Yau method is a modern speedcubing method, originally proposed by Robert Yau in 2009. The method was designed specifically to have the cube to be solved like a 3x3x3. It is generally used to solve the 4x4x4, but can be used to solve bigger cubes. It involves in solving the cube like a 3x3x3. The first half involves in solving the cente, the center edges, and the cross. Having the center edges in the right places will make the cube look like a 3x3x3. In the second half algorithms similar to one used to solve the 3x3x3. This method makes use of easy edge pairings, and have the cross done when you start the 3x3x3 part, but makes solving the center and finding the 3 first crossedges harder. This is widely used to speedcube a 4x4x4.

Really?

What other site would you suggest I should look at for better algs, especially PLLs?

Really?

Yup. There's a small re-grip.

 

[Azkika]

Thank you, kunparekh and arvind. I would hate to spend all that time learning the BM PLL caes only to find there were some simpler ones.

Actually, you could use any PLL which suits you and is fast for you.

I wouldn't say that i re-grip at all.

Your finger is at UBL until F'. You have to bring it to UFL to do the F' with the index finger.

 

[applemobile]

So do we class moving 1 finger slightly, as a regrip?

 

[arvind1999]

Maybe not. But that would slow us down just a bit where as our thumb is already ready to do the F'.

I don't know about you but I can't do F' with my left index while my left thumb is on the F face. I have to move my thumb to D face.

 

[cubernya]

I personally don't find that my finger is even out of position. It may be because I do the last U' with my left middle finger, not index
