3 Weeks on cube, Need new f2l method

[longshot789]

Right Now I'm using intuitive f2l lining up each corner individually. I'm using mostly right handed finger tricks and I use the set of alg combo's on Noort's getting faster page, the 7 top formations and their respective algs. So my top goes like this, cross, orient corners, permute corners, permute edges. I first solved three weeks ago and I have been getting faster bit by bit, but I think whats holding me back the most is the slowness of my f2l. Anyone else clear this hurdle under similar circumstances. Any advice is appreciated!

Hello and welcome to the forum!

I can't load your video right now since I am on dial-up, but I will check it out later. On the F2L, do you pair up the corner and edge and insert them into slots, or do you insert all the corners and then all the edges separately? Take a look at my page here:

Once I know what method you're using for the F2L, I can help you further.

I line up the edge corner pairs and insert them. Thanks for the link.

Okay, cool. You have lots of room to improve. Working on looking ahead, and slowing get quicker. Make sure you get a solid cross to F2L transition. Practice will bring your times down quickly, just stay determined.

Cool thanks. I know it'll take time, the first few improvements came as leaps by changing methods to things with more algs and more "shortcuts". Thanks again for the encouragement. This seems like a more healthy obsession that video games seeing as i'm a college student.

Cubing is quite addicting, however, it is good for your hands, mind, and gives you something to do during your spare time (and easy to carry a cube around ). If you need further help, don't hesitate to ask one of us on this forum. Good luck,

You have an okay foundation. Your biggest problem is recognition. My best advice (which you'll start to hate hearing around here) is to practice. Look up some f2l algorithms for the cases that are hardest you to do intuitively, do them slowly and learn how they work (opticubes.com).

I think advice on a topic that is 3 years old is a bit weird
