f2l

I have been cubing for 6-7 weeks now, and I can't get lower than a one minute average. But that's not the bad part. I have memorized 4 look last layer, I know intuitive F2l, and I have been practice constantly. Yet is still have this awful split of : 10-30-10-10 (cross-f2l-oll-pll)

i currently use advanced cross then f2l then 2 look-oll and 2 look-pll and i am learning coll and i average 51 seconds. please advise any other methods or any link. Please help

Hi cubers. I use fridrich method and my avgs are around 26 seconds; 5 seconds for the cross, 11 for f2l and 10 for 2 look oll + full pll. The problem that I have is that I want to improve my times improving my f2l, and I have problems with that. Of course, the key of getting faster with f2l...

Hi guys... I really want to switch my method because I'm am currently stuck at around 22 seconds with CFOP...and I'm kinda getting bored of it. I've considered ZZ, but EO line is crazy. I've also considered Roux, its a possibility...but I've ALWAYS wanted to learn the Salvia method after...

I can't seem to do it right. (btw my times are 30-40 seconds but its kinda redundant as i ONLY learned f2l, no OLL (I made my own memory-thing thats like a 3look OLL), and 2-look PLL. I'm too lazy to learn the other 2 since im working on f2l. Any tips? I memorized none of the f2l algorithims, so...

Yeah basically the title. I tried to learn intuitive F2L but none of the tutorials really helped me. I think I just don'lt understand the concept of moving the cube without ruining the white cross, positioning the two layers correctly, and still doing it in a minimal amount of turns.

So there have been a few discussions on this ( here and here ) but they are almost a decade old I'm pretty satisfied with my times and am taking step back to experiment with some new tricks. Instead of rotating the cube on F2L I'm trying to do only d and d' moves. There are some exceptions to...

Disclaimer: I'm new to not just SpeedSolving Forums, but forums in general. I apologize in advance for any rule i am inadvertently breaking. Hi, I'm just looking for some basic tips to improve my intuitive F2L. Right now, I'm at about 30-40 seconds, but I have a competition coming up soon...

I'm learning keyhole F2L, but I wonder what I should do if all the middle layer edges are already in the middle layer but not in the correct position. Should I just move one of the middle layer edges to the top layer using the keyhole and then move on from there?

Hello, I started cubing a little less than 3 months ago, and have gotten faster and faster since then. I use a new rubik's cube (version 2.0?) that can be found in Target or Walmart, and have gotten an avg. of 5 of 1 min 29 sec, and a PB of 1 min 15 using the beginners method. But I feel like I...

Hi, im Adán (sub 25) and I have one question about F2l. What's the best finger trick to do a lowercase d (the two layers down)? Middle finger or tumb? Thanks!

Hey guys, I remember trying forever to figure out F2L on my own, before realizing UKCuber had an amazing tutorial. I didn't think of cases in groups, just as each case by itself. Now that I found the secret, I have an easy to follow tutorial for beginners! Check it out below!

Apologies in advance if any of my questions have been answered prior to this :P 1. I have a good feeling that this has been asked already, but how long would it take for a normal person to learn CFOP? Please just an estimate. 2. I've heard being color neutral is really helpful. I was just...

Hi cubers. Here's a guide with the different cases for the first 2 layers of a Rubik's cube on a single printable page. cube_3x3x3_first_2_layers.pdf Comments are welcome.

I made this guide to show how to solve F2L agorithmicaly. It teaches the fundamental F2L cases (R U R' and R U' R') and how to transform the complex cases into the fundamental ones. Note that it don't show the AUF between the complex and the fundamental cases so you have to have learned the...

So I have been using F2L for a while but my recognition is poor, I have a decent time of 42.53 but I want to get faster. I have been using the beginners method for the last layer but I want to learn 2-Look OLL and PLL, I was just wondering, should I focus on my F2L first? or learn 2-Look OLL and...

So today I did some method tests, I did full basic, basic + F2L, and full CFOP. For full basic I got this Number of solves: 5 Best Time: 30.50 Worst Time: 43.17 Session Avg: 36.55 Individual Times: (43.17), 35.34, 40.16, 34.16, (30.50) For basic + F2L Number of solves: 5 Best Time: 25.56...

You’ve mastered the first half of the F2L Fridrich Method, now master the rest! Last Layer is the best tool to help learn those 2Look algorithms using the tried and true flashcard method. •FlashCard trainer with customizable timer. Test your knowledge and randomly practice the 2Look algos...

I'm Kwabena, 16yrs old, and I've been cubing for about 3yrs now. I began cubing when I saw my friend playing with a dreadful $2 cube and I just had to know how to solve one. So this friend of mine loaned me a cube and the rest was history :) I began speedcubing recently though on my 16th...

Hi! I've been speedcubing for a few years now. Well... not really a few years non stop. I started cubing for myself (i.e. not my mom doing it for me!) about three years ago. I got the times down to about 1:2x. I then put my cube away, and left it for a year or so. I've recently come...
