I noticed you guys mention YouTube quite alot but where can i find it, i need tips on how to get faster please!!!!
 
I just can't bear it, I have to break it to him. Sebastiaan, they're just joking, 45 sec. for F2L is no where near good enough for anything else besides the beginners method. You still need to work on speed. Yu Nakajima is one of the best cubers in the world. There's no way you could see what he's doing. It's like his fingers are flying.

Well don't you get it? It's sickening how many "How to get faster, which is the best?" threads we get here so as a result we just do this out of boredom.

But who said you can't watch Yu Nakajima's solves? You can always slow the video down and observe it.

And the method they linked you to is a highly inefficient beginner's method. Nakajima uses the Fridrich method. I would suggest learning that.

Guys, it's really not funny to trick newbies. It's just mean...

I think it's funny. It's also annoying how we have to constantly spoonfeed information to newbies that is just a google search away.
 
Do you have a facebook? It'd be easier to talk that way.

anyway, yes but I never play them.
You should check out ShadowsXElite as well. He's my friend from school and does A LOT of walkthrough vids (red alert, pokemon, COD, Spore, etc.)
 
watch this and you won't need to post on this topic again

geez, your guys sarcasm should have gone to a rick rolling video.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa; there is absoulely no reason why there should be a limit placed on when to learn a more advanced method for solving the cube. After learning LBL, I figured out CE pairing for myself when I was still well over 1 minute.
It doesn't make a single difference what speed you are solving at. Far more important is your level of competency. Seeing as the thread starter clearly has no confidence whatsoever in his own abilities to think out his problems for himself, I would not reccommend that he learnt a more advanced method. However it is really up to him to decide that.

I agree, and will make an analogy for others.

Sure, most kids start out with riding a bicycle, but if one believes that a unicycle, a harder means of transportation, would be more enjoyable, and has the courage to start out with it, or advance quickly into it after riding a bike, then it is their decision and their decision only to do so.

Off-topic
I decided to get a picture to the left. Does it look too creepy? haa
 
LOL, at the end of the Rubik's web site "Remember, the record is 22.95" My PB is better that that :)

I would suggest looking for Badmephisto's tutorials, they're widely known and are always helpful.
 
Guys, I mean this with all due respect but what's your friggen problem?

The post was in the BEGINNERS FORUM yet more and more I see experienced cubers simply come here to belittle, critisize and act condescending to people who don't have your knowledge or experience.

We were all beginners once and the forum clearly directs new people here who will naturally post up repeat content. It's honestly to be expected, especially from casual guests.

If you don't have the patience to deal with this sort of content in the beginners forum, then perhaps your time would be better spent with other peers more on par with your level of expertise and experience in the other TEN channels provided for you to chat in?

As stated in the description for this channel : Also, please only reply to a speedsolving question/concern if you have something of value to add - the number of truly helpful posts to this person in this thread could have been counted on one hand.

Acting condescending and sarcastic like this merely represents Speedsolving in a poor light, bringing the overall quality of this forum down. It's better that a beginner receives only 3 responses that actually have real merit and value to their needs, than 3 pages of smart alec responses from people looking to massage their own egos.

It's not cool or funny guys, give it a rest.
