F2L time

[CubeAddict]

Just wondering how long it takes pro speedcubers like Macky on the F2L? I heard Andrew Kang memorized 164 F2L algs. I thought there were only 41?

Firstly I think Kang use Petrus. And 164 is 41*4, which is ever case from every angle.

Aim for 7s F2L, then youve got around a 12s average. In reality most people have a 10s F2L.

Kang has told me he uses Fridrich.

 

[Harris Chan]

164 comes from 41*4 (since there are 4 angles)...

Yeah, and those 164 aren't "algs", they are just ways of pairing up pieces. Also, I am almost positive that Kang uses Fridrich.

Ok, I realize where I was getting confused. I was thinking of Anothy Hsu, sorry about that.

9 year bump! How fast are people solving the first 2 layers these days?

 

[sqAree]

I am "still" at the 10 seconds. xD

 

[Loiloiloi]

Can you be sub 10 with alg F2L these days?

 

[JustinTimeCuber]

7-8 seconds

ZZ: 10-12
Petrus: 8-10

How fast is *your* F2L when you FOP

How fast is *your* F2L when you FOP

When I do CFOP, my F2L is usually about 9 seconds.

However, I can build the first two layers in about 4.5 seconds.
