[Unofficial] 25 sec. avg. of 5...Tips for me too?

[rubiksczar]

I'm not sure how I'm not avg under 20 seconds by now, please help.

What do you mean by "by now"?
And this is around the point in which you need to know full PLL (if you dont already), start working on looking ahead during F2L, and also being able to plan out atleast 3/4 of your cross in about 8 sec while still transitioning nicely to F2L.

I know full oll and pll, I learned them 6 months ago, so that's what I mean by I should be avgeraging under 20 seconds by now.

any more tips cubers?

 

[vcuber13]

What are your average spilts?

 

[rubiksczar]

I usually get in between 20 and 25 seconds although I sometimes get in between 26 and 30 seconds or 17-19 seconds

 

[vcuber13]

no like your cross f2l oll and pll times, as individuals

 

[rubiksczar]

I don't know, this is just a guess but, cross: 2-3 seconds, f2l: 8-12 seconds, oll: 3-4 seconds, pll: 3-5 seconds

I'm probably off by a few seconds but that's a good guess to me.

 

[vcuber13]

Going by the times you say your cross should be fine, your F2L needs some work and your ll needs quite a bit of work. Splits for me at 20 were about 13/14 for cross and f2l and 6/7 for ll

Do your cross much slower, that pause going into F2L hurt my eyes on the first solve.

Your look ahead could be better. Also your last layer turn speed needs a lot of improvement. Also an online timer such as http://mzrg.com/qqtimer might take a second off your time because your timer stopping isnt the best.

 

[rubiksczar]

I just did one quick solve; cross:3.06 f2l:11.45 oll: 4.42 pll: 5.66
the pll case that I had in the solve was the hardest pll case I could've had, oll was avg. f2l was avg. and cross was avg.

You can get decent times with intuitive F2L and the 2-Looks my best average with it is 21.58 and my best single with it is 14.03.

Your last layer is pretty rough. Try practicing the algorithms slower but trying to eliminate pauses and lock ups. Once you can execute the algs smoothly at slow speed you can try gradualy increasing your turning speed while maintaining smoothness of turning. My guess is that lock ups are killing your alg execution.

Were you scrambling the cube freehand? Just wondering.

 

[CubesOfTheWorld]

Just the fingertricks. There are good form, but they could be faster. This will come with practice.

Yes, actually I was.

Yes, actually I was.

It's a lot better to follow the scrambles given to you in most timers.

Your F2L needs quite a bit of work, seeing as you know full fridrich, and only average 25 seconds.
