Hi, im new to these forums, so if a beginner like me shouldn't be here, oh well.:(

i can solve the cube in about 1:45 using RobH0629's beginner method. i've begun learning intuitive F2l, but should i be learning it with my current time? I still have a not-so-broken-in store bought cube, so i guess i could shave off ten seconds, if i had a better cube. (mine's get stuck too many times:() so should i just practice the beginner method, or keep learning F2L?

with F2L, i get around 2 minutes and a half or sometimes, 3 minutes.

keep working on your beginners method, until you are between 1:00 and 1:15 Although i suggest start learning 4 look last layer so u can get accustomed to it.

Nope, most of it is intuitive, although there are a few cases where a simple algorithm could be faster. Look at Badmephisto's cross, f2l, oll, pll videos they are really helpful

colour scheme? you mean like.... white as bottom yellow as top?

On your cube, if the orange cross piece (this is assuming white cross on D) is on UF and the blue on is UR and both are oriented, do you do F2 R2 or F2 U2 L2 (just an example)?
