f2l better strategy

[bour1992]

I have a simple question.
What do you think that is the best strategy when you solve the f2l?
You should have the cross on the top or on the bottom layer?

Thanks in advance.

I really think fridrich f2l + cross on bottom is the fastest way of doing f2l.

however, fridrich f2l does not malipulate last layer. at least not more then 2 edges...

look where the cross parts are, close your eyes and solve cross on bottom.
you'll learn it fast that way.

BTW, you should always be able to solve cross in 8 or less moves. >10 moves should be Xcross

Cross must always be on the bottom. Always.

OK, guys.
Thank you.

Left is good too.

Before I switched to doing cross on the bottom, I did it usually starting from cross on top, and when it was finished, it was on the left, and after filling the UFL slot it was on D. It went pretty smooth, the rotations were done by w-moves, and I sometimes still do it this way.

any side is good. if a cross is RU solvable on top, then you should solve it on top. just do it on whatever side it would be fastest on.

switching to left, then switching back to bottom is good for OH

bottom gets really easy after a couple of weeks.

I do cross on B.
