What is the deadliest thing that beginner cubers do not know about? It's practicing methods. Every beginner cuber dreams about joining the big leagues, yet quit before they even know how to! Those people think that repetitive solutions will help them get faster. This fact is false. You don't practice anything. Beginner cubers who might be reading this will say, "Yeah, but when we solve, we use the methods, and as a result, we get better, right?", WRONG! This is the TRUE way to practice.
When you are solving a cube, you go through several steps. Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL (or if you're a beginner, Cross, Corners, Edges, Yellow Edges, Yellow Corners, Insertion). These show the process of how solving works. Let's give an example, let's say you are playing a game, and you make an avatar. Normal stuff, right? You might notice that your avatar has stats (Speed, Agility, Dexterity, Physical, etc.). When you join a game, you get XP, which you can spend on upgrading your character. Now let's go back to the real-world example. When you are just solving, you are gathering the XP, but you aren't utilizing your XP to upgrade yourself! Instead, you are just making things repetitive and you might feel a bit tired. So, how do we practice? Once a day, for one hour or two, try practicing the steps, like Cross, and set a goal i.e Solving the cross in less than eight moves, or solving F2L without rotations. You can go to the Internet if you want more help. Following that, we'll look at our 3x3 Roadmap.
Beginner:
-Learn the beginner's method
Sub 50:
-Choose an advanced method (CFOP, Roux, ZZ)
-Learn the methods (let's choose CFOP. If you want to learn Roux or ZZ, go ahead, but i won't be covering them today, ill be covering CFOP only.)
-Learn notation (this will come in handy)
Sub 40:
-Learn 2-Look OLL
-Learn 2-Look PLL
-Learn F2L
Sub 30:
-Learn Full PLL https://www.cubeskills.com/uploads/pdf/tutorials/pll-algorithms.pdf
-Learn Advanced F2L
-Learn F2L Lookahead
Sub 20:
-Learn full OLL https://www.cubeskills.com/uploads/pdf/tutorials/oll-algorithms.pdf
-Learn Rotationless solving (something you should practice)
And that pretty much covers everything! You can look at Sub-x tips and tricks videos to know what to learn, but i just gave you the fundamentals. Keep in mind that the further you go, the longer it gets to reach Sub-X. Goodbye!
