ortega, sometimes lbl to practice layer
I used to avg about 6 but now it's around 6.5 because I've gotten lazy

EG for sure. I would probably learn CLL, EG-1, EG-2, and LEG-1 before I learned TCLLI am already learning cll, but after, should I go to EG or TCLL?
If you're learning CMLL, why bother learning ortega?I am a relative n00b - started in december (but 53 yo), still around 1 minute. Learned 4LLL, and now uses Roux.
Have my 2x2s coming in the mail today. So how should I use solve them ?
Should I just do some simple first layer (with edges), and then 2-look CMLL where I do not yet know the full CMLL algorithm ?
Not sure I want to learn all of ortega - how important 2x2 will be to me, I am just about there with T-case (My first) in CMLL. And Ortega is just one one algo from each case + the PBL algos.
I also think that a 2x2 would be useable as a CMLL practice cube ? It is all about recognizing corners and turning them. And having the simple cube will allow me to churn lots of algos faster.
I also love my larger cubes 4x4..6x6, and will likely buy MGC 7x7 soon.
I would just learn Ortega. It’s only 12 algs total (you probably already know at least 2 of them), and you can get really fast with it if you practice enough.I am a relative n00b - started in december (but 53 yo), still around 1 minute. Learned 4LLL, and now uses Roux.

if you mean the first layer is complete, then I think there's a 1/6 chance of skipping any swap at the end. but if you learn CLL, it becomes a 100% chance!Realized how simple it was. Only 3 new algorithms for PBL. And one is 3 moves. Got it down quickly. Now I just hate it when edges are matching on first layer. That gives the longer 3x3 swap in the end.
I am slowly learning CMLL which help in the case. Saw a calculation that if you do not know CxLL then First layer complete is 12 moves and incomplete approx 8.3if you mean the first layer is complete, then I think there's a 1/6 chance of skipping any swap at the end. but if you learn CLL, it becomes a 100% chance!
Make sure that your layer solutions are efficient, and just do a few thousand solves. This should for sure bring you to sub-4.So I finished CLL about a week ago, and I've done about 700 solves, and I average sub 5. How do I get faster with CLL?
Drill your algs and make sure your layers are efficient. A couple thousand solves should do it.So I finished CLL about a week ago, and I've done about 700 solves, and I average sub 5. How do I get faster with CLL?
Can't really help much unless you upload some solves. All I can give is generic advice: plan further into inspection, turn improve your turning, improve your recognition.I’m having a little bit of trouble getting faster a 2 by 2. I am using Ortega. I have a good speed cube. I have an upper 6 sec average. Would love to get it down to 3 or 4 sec or hopefully faster. Any ideas?
