cross

Hello everybody, I've registered here in part because i want to show my newly invented advanced cross method to fellow speedcubers and hear your opinions about it. Maybe it will prove useful for you! Anyway, thanks for having me here, i really like this site! Here's a quick summary: Why is...

The ZP Method is a 3-step speedcubing method that utilizes over 150 algorithms. Step 1: Cross: Normal Cross, like cfop Step 2: ZF2L (F2L + Corner Orientation): In this step, you solve the First Two Layers while simultaneously orienting the Last Layer (LL) corners.Basic Variant: Insert the...

Hey guys, somewhat experienced speed cuber (do a lot of events so pb a05 is only 17.7) but I am wondering how you guys plan finger tricks in a cross solution to consistently be under 1.5 seconds, I've tried practicing cross but I'm stuck at around 2-2.5 s per cross.

Hi everyone! I'm getting ready to launch a new cubing trainer app called "Vertex: Cube Trainer", and I'm looking for beta testers and feedback from the community. My goal is to build a full-featured app for those who are working on improving their 3x3 solve times so you can train on the go...

I just made training tools for cross, X-cross, EOCross. The scrambler generates a scramble that can be solved in the specified number of moves. You can also search for the solutions immediately. Cross trainer X-Cross trainer EOCross trainer

crystalcube cross trainer A new trainer for practicing CFOP cross! Useful for targeted practice on difficult crosses and improving cross planning in inspection. Check it out at https://crystalcuber.com/train/cross Let me know what you think! Feedback is appreciated

Basically I was watching a video by BrodytheCuber and he says to count how many moves it takes to finish the cross. How exactly do I count slice moves?

So basically pseudoslotting has shown itself as the new potential of speedcubing, and even I am interested in using it in my solves. However, I do recognise (no pun intended) the limits of pseudoslotting in terms of recognition, hence I only utilise pseudslotting within the means of inspection...

Hello. I was wondering how you could use cube explorer create scrambles where the cross was solved or solve from cross. If I just put all of the cross edge pieces solved I get too many solutions that have more than the cross solved because the software interprets any possible orientation of the...

This is a thread where i practice and learn cases and algs to get to sub 40. Right now i learned intuitive f2l but i also need help and tips with it. so now i have this problem where i see that before i learned intuitive f2l i had a 40 second average on f2l, so i went to learn intuitve f2l to...

I know i searched this a lot when i was starting, and I think people still search this today, so I made a video on it. What do you all think?

Here are my top tips for a faster cross in general Example cross solves too Please consider subscribing. Thanks!

I average around 26 seconds. My cross takes around 6 seconds, f2l takes around 10, oll takes 3.5 and pll takes 3.5. That all adds up to around 23 seconds. Thing is, I have an akward pause in between cross and f2l. I'll do cross, look around for 2-4 seconds for 1st pair then my solves flow pretty...

I don't understand how cubers memorise the EOLine in ZZ Method while inspection........ do they translate their moves into algorithms and apply it when solving. Please teach me how to memorise the EOline/CRoss and give me tips if possible

Every couple hundred solves I completely mess up the cross by usually not aligning the edges with the centers. I would always get angry and give up on the solve. Of course I should just get better at watching for that, but I didn't realize until now that I could just flip the cube over and do...

I need some general help with solving. My cross takes about 5-6 seconds on average, my f2l takes about 17 on average and same goes with my last layer. Im looking to get sub 20 averages and need some help to boost me to that and just any tips. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

The title says it all. Many people have asked me this question and so I figured I would make my answer into a video:

Hope this helps people. I do go off screen a few times, especially on the first solve, but I go back and reexplain so hold on for the whole vid and 98% of what I do should be explained. I will make more with a better angle, but I wanted to make sure you could see the scrambles.
