Due to lock down I finally decided to solve the Rubix brand Rubix cube that had been sitting on my windowsill for over a year, I used J perms tutorial to learn the beginners method. 3 hours it took me to solve it, (june 20th this year). After a few days i could solve it without any help and i wanted to get faster, i learned a few things like how to save edges, just basic things for the beginners method to get faster. While I was doing that I found out about F2L, later OLL and PLL I was really interested. I couldn't wrap my head around F2L but i eventually got it after 1 and a half weeks I learned basic F2l and bpught my first speedcube (thunderclap v3 Magnetic), my time was around 2 minutes. After 2 and a half weeks i learned 2 look OLL and PLL, my recognition was slow and my algorithms weren't muscle memory yet, As of today I have a PB of 35 seconds (L2 F2 U2 R2 F2 D2 R2 B F2 L2 F R' U B U2 L B R B R2 D) I usually average under a minute. I used cs timer to do 4 splits to work out what I average for each part of my solve, Cross 8s, F2L 27s, OLL 6s, PLL 10s.
In a month have i done well or am i improving slowly? I don't really know what the basis is for improvement as I'm obviously very new.
What should I do to improve, should I learn full PLL? Should I become Colour neutral? Or is there something else I should do as I don't know when these steps come.
Little added bonus if anyone has actually read this far down I learned how to solve a pyraminx using LBL and got a PB of 9.42 after 3 days of having it so that's cool.
TL;DR had a cube for a month PB 35s. Average just under a minute, have I improved fast or slow, How do I improve?
