[Help Thread] CFOP F2l Sucks, Acually I Just Suck At It.

Another solve:

F2 L F U2 R2 D L2 D L' F B2 D2 R2 F U2 B' U2 R2 U2

z2 R' B2' D' U' F' L F D2 F' D' // kept the gre-oran pair.
L U' L' (F R' F' R) // eh, not sure why that over rotate then insert.
y' D2 U R U' R' D' (R U R' U') (R U2' R' U') R U R' D' // got those two quickly and it felt nice
(R U2' R' U') (R U R' U')2 y' (U' R' U R) // good 2-gen ig, nice oll
U f (R U R' U') f' U' F (R U R' U')F' // OLL
U'D L' U' L UD' L2' U L' U L U' L U' L2 // PLL actually like g perms

Probably best to follow all the advice from the good CFOP solvers in this thread, but it is also possible that your brain isn't wired to solve F2L, like me. Solving in the 1980's corners first, that's how my brain is wired, and while corners first isn't going to win a world class competition, I get sub-10 solves in every average. If I try to solve CFOP F2L it takes me 30 seconds just to do the first two layers. But since you already know OLL/PLL, probably best to just keep working on improving F2L rather than switching methods.
 
Does anyone have a good resource for F2L algs? I know that people generally suggest doing F2L intuitively, but that isn't working for me rn. Maybe I can learn algs for my slower cases and more inserts not in the FR edge. Some pseudoslotting algs would be nice too.

I have some f2l and pseudo f2l listings. the algs are not good but you can easily substitute with your own algs in your own annotations. I like the way it is listed, is well organized

I always use this website. It was last updated in 2021 though so it may be outdated by now.
