Hi, I'm Dylan from the United States :D

[Dylan Michael]

All you guys are awesome I am getting a bit better at f2l, 40 seconds for f2l where as the Beginner's method would also take me about 40.

HOLLLYYYY... 48.03 seconds with combined F2L and beginners method. Awwww yeahhhhh!

 

[Clarkeeyyy]

Keep going, it'll only get better from now until you hit about 35 seconds.

 

[Dylan Michael]

Okay, I have a question. My 2x2 and 4x4 came yesterday, and I have solved it about 5 times since then, so should I continue mastering the Fridrich Method or memorize the Ortega method at the same time?

 

[Clarkeeyyy]

Took me two days to learn the entire ortega method. It won't hold you back at 3x3 at all, you probably know many of the algorithms in ortega already.

GAH KEFKA PICTURE
That's all I had to say, please ignore me.

Sorry I'm not ignoring you. It's cool that you recognize him. I don't think many do here.

 

[Dylan Michael]

Gahhh now im slowing down again. It takes me a minute for f2l, it usually takes me about a min to do the entire cube. I'm gonna look into Petrus and Roux (and, possibly ZZ, if I can find a good tutorial)

By the way, your signature is awesome lmao. I skipped the last layer once, but wasnt timing myself

this is a playlist of outstanding youtube tutorials from asmallkitten (Phil Yu), and this is a very comprehensive text tutorial. ZZ . Good luck!

Seriously bro... my PB has been a non-lucky solve for over a year. (Not the same non-lucky solve).

Petrus and Roux aren't bad, and I recommend that you should look into them. As for your slow times, it is absolutely normal to take over a minute for f2l at first. At first I averaged one and a half minutes, but after a while you will get the hang of it. Also if you haven't already done so, check this out.

Practice would be a better approach than switching method.

Averaging 01:22.66 w/ combined Fridrich F2L and beginners method

 

[Dylan Michael]

I'll try to memorize OLL now, can't guarantee I'll do it tho

 

[Michael Womack]

Sounds like your doing good. BTW is Michael your REAL last name cause I've never heard it as a last name? I'm just wondering and welcome to the forms.

Haha no, but It's my middle name. I don't use my last name online unless I'm talking to people I know in real life. And thank you for the welcome

And also, I think I've become as fluent in F2L as I have in the first 2 steps of the beginners method.

WOW what a good start into Cubing

Great progress! There's loads of good advice and techniques out there for F2L practice. I find it helps to mix it up and alternate lots of different methods.

 

[Dylan Michael]

Just got 46 seconds on a lucky solve Im so happy

 

[Dylan Michael]

I was thinking of replacing yellow with black on my cube... good idea?

 

[Kattenvriendin]

No way to know but to try

So many cubers so many different tastes.
