Beginner! i need help on what i should do next

[Tim Major]

I understand. I'm just saying, if he starts to look ahead when he is really slow, he won't have to slow down as much when he gets really fast.

Minigoings' posts have been relevant. His are helpful, and understandable. Yours are not iSpinz. Btw, edit the quotes, to make the message smaller.

so what is CPLL and EPLL? also, i couldn't really get what permute meant. does it mean moving it to proper position?

CPLL: Putting the corners of the last layer in the right place
EPLL: putting th edges of the last layer in the right place.

Sorry about that, I tend to forget about chopping down the quote trees.

im doing the allen for the last step (L2 U' B F' L2 B' F U' L2) i thought i was just moving the corners to the correct positions

So your using petrus?

 

[dillonbladez]

ummm yes and no, because when i do F2L im not starting with a 2x2 block. besides im not too familliar with other methods and such so i dont know if im actually getting this all right.

That's a U Perm, an EPLL. A faster one might be M2 U(') M U2 M(') U M2.

For that algorithm, could you sort-of explain a bit more? newbie here because i don't know what M is for.

Basicly the up/down middle layer

 

[miniGOINGS]

M is the middle slice, between the left and right ones. When looking at the cube, it goes L M R from left to right. M2 is turning the middle slice twice (either way), M is turning the middle slice down (as viewed from the front) and M' is turning the middle slice up (as viewed from the front).

M = Middle verticle layer turned towards you (clockwise from right).
M' = Turned away from you (anti-clockwise from right).
M2 = You know...
M2' = The more common form of M2

M' is actually clockwise from right, or counter clockwise from left.

i tried the algorithm and i got some weird pattern, so i guess i did it wrong. are the primes use when needed or if you like to turn the layer one way or another. also, are there any particularly good videos for 4LLL? mabye a little easy to understand.

That's a U Perm, an EPLL. A faster one might be M2 U(') M U2 M(') U M2.

Somethings wrong with that alg.

Oops, it should be M2 U(') M U2 M U(') M2.

Doing the algorithms without the brackets is a clockwise cycle, with the brackets is a counter clockwise cycle.

For future reference there is a search function on top of the page. Go on youtube and look up badmephisto's videos on 2 Look Oll, 2 Look PLL

 

[dillonbladez]

so i get to choose which may i turn as long as i turn it the same way every time theres a bracket?

EDIT:
i find that badmephistos videos are sort of hard to take in all the information, because im kind-of young (12)

 

[miniGOINGS]

Right, either do both of the brackets, or neither of them.

 

[dillonbladez]

and i do this algorithm when i have all sides (of the last layer) with one wrong edge except for one side, which is complete?
