[Help Thread] CFOP Discussion

I have done it previously
cross: 4
F2L: 20
Oll: 5
pll: 5

so yea, but I do know my f2l is slowing me down a lot.

 

[cuberbutnotacuber]

Ah. Maybe you should start F2L algs because intuitive F2L takes a bit of time. I recommend the F2L pdf from cubeskills, because they are quite fast. I think you should also start learning some PLL algs for the cases that take a bit of time. You should already know the Y perm, T perm, H perm, Z perm and the U perms. You can learn faster algs for the U perms, because the R U versions are very slow and the M U versions are very fast.

I recently finished full pll,
and thanks for the link

Practice is mostly what will help you improve at this stage, but work on your F2L algs and drill them a bunch.

what f2l do you use? I would learn a few advanced cases

You can if you want, but I learnt them all intuitively. But it is very unlikely to come up with all F2L algs so you can look into algorithms if you want to.

in my experience as someone learning f2l, most are intuitive but there are a few where it's just better to memorize the cases. usually the corner and edge stuck together cases. for some the best algs are kinda unintuitive

I used to be sub 40 average, until I learned all of 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL as well as some basic F2L Now I am 20 second average

how to sub-10 on rubik 3x3?

how to sub-10 on rubik 3x3?

I can't really tell if this is a joke, but assuming you are talking about sub 10 seconds, I would get a good performing cube like an Rs3M or Qiyi MS. Then make sure you know full OLL-PLL, have efficient and fast f2l, cross in 7 moves or less, and practice practice practice.
Edit: Do dedicated practice. Don't just spam solves.

Probably they don’t want to buy a speedcube for some reason.

What’s your current average?

 

[Flow 3x3]

Ayo, ¿algún consejo para sub 15?
F2L: 17/42
OLL: 27/57
PLL: 17/21
GRACIAS

Aprende todo PLL y notaras el cambio

What’s your current average?

It's 12.54 average of 100

Lots of practice, your individual splits (for the stages of the solve) might also be important.

Your average is so good, it would be cool to see you use a smart cube in cubeast and see your splits/pauses/etc to see how you could get to sub 10...

Keep up the good work...

Hi everyone
I am new to cubing.
I started 3 months ago
I am averaging 36
I want to know how long it takes to become sub 15
I want some advises about f2l practice.
and how to recognize oll/oll faster.
thanks for reading

Well, I have been cubing for about 8 months now and recently achieved sub 20. It's mostly dedication and practice but I assume about a year. To recognize OLL, remember a characteristic about a certain OLL (Eg. Headlights, no corners) and use alg trainers.

Hi, I am trying really really really hard to get to sub 20 on 3x3, I use:
CFOP
Currently averaging around 22-25 secs
Best: 17 worst: 33
Main 3x3: Gan356M and Gan11M duo

4 to 10 moves cross (4 secs),

mix of advanced and intuitive F2L (13 secs),
Look ahead sometimes for F2L

1 or 2 look OLL (half of the cases learnt) (2 to 4 secs)
1 look PLL (bad at G Perms and V Perms) (3 secs)

I think i usually stop a lot at times to identify what F2L case to do next, what oll what pll

Pls tell me how to improve apart from saying practise

[SpeedCuberSUB30]

Just one advice : Slow down and look ahead, and work on your F2L, rest of the solve is good. Also practice and drill your PLLs.
I recently got sub-20 and that's what I did.
