[Member Intro] Beginner cuber from Finland!

[Teemu]

Hello, I am beginner cuber from Finland. I have been cubing for like 1 month now, but I'm not miracle tho. I still own 3x3 and 2x2 cubes, I ordered new 3x3 from america yesterday tho. (Moyu)

Cubing times: 3x3 1.27 minute (Beginners fridrich method)
2x2 14.30sec (Idk method, probably same as 3x3 but I first do white side and then place corners, and orientate them correctly)

At the moment I am learning X's and O's method, my personal record as X's and O's is 2.09min
My goal is achieve less than 1 minute.

And yes again, I'm from Finland anyone other finnish cubers here?

Welcome to the forums!

What us the Xs and Os method? I've not actually heard of it before. Also, be sure to check out some other methods to make sure you find the method which suits you best! I would recommend looking at at least Roux, ZZ, Petrus and PCMS (as you have already looked at CFOP-that's how most people refer to Fridrich nowadays).

With regards to other Finnish cubers, I think Kim Jokinen is reasonably active on SS and holds a few nrs iirc.

But anyway, I hope you enjoy your time on the forums!

Thanks, I might try out Roux I just watched walkthrough of it and it seemed interesting. And I mean by X's and O's method first you do (eg. white) corners and then you do (in this case yellow) corners, so every side has X and then you start completing white and yellow, and finally you permute last middle edges.

X and Os method was my first method actually, it's just a CF method. If you want to learn it, go ahead, but it's not really worth it. I would check out some of the methods shadowslice mentioned.
