Do you know any easy F-Perms? I'm bad at learning algs

I've learnt an Ortega-Guimond hybrid method I found myself. I've used the method this whole time.

( Solve side with opposite colours, OLL, Separation, PBL )

Lol i don't think it's a good idea, building face, oll, pbl is better but if it works for you then whatever

 

[Cuber987]

To improve at Ortega, the best idea is to try and predict OLL in inspection and PBL while doing OLL. I also struggle with this, but it helps a lot when I do succeed!

For 3x3, I would suggest learning full PLL, but if you don't want to, 4LLL. Full OLL is not necessary. Some level of look-ahead in F2L is necessary to be sub-30.

 

[NigelTheCuber]

Look-ahead in F2L is necessary to be sub-30.

nah

 

[Cuber987]

nah

I changed it. I meant at some level. You can't pause for three seconds every pair and still be sub-30.

It helps me predict OLL because the side is easier.
Also, It takes a tiny bit of time to recognize Separation.

Day 1 of Comp summary.

21st in 1st round. Got a new PB single and average in that round. (2.39 and 4.44).
2nd round, it was top 40 to finals and I made 41st.

Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

You can.

2 second cross

1.5 seconds/pair + 3 second pause = 4.5 seconds/pair
4.5x4=~18 seconds F2L

5 second OLL

5 second PLL

= 30 seconds.

Noooooooo so close

Noooooooo so close

There's always tomorrow

Day 2, fine.
I had Skewb and 3x3 and didn't make 2nd round (not good a skoib).
In 3x3 I made second round but didn't make Finals. My friend did though.

Still enjoyed it, Hopefully going to Wiltshire Spring!
