[slncuber21]

Ok I really am getting close to breaking the 1 minute marker but i just cant! my best is 1:06 and i keep trying and trying but it seems useless.... i need also a new method because layer by layer takes too long and Fridrich (sp?) is too complicated.... AHH im so agrivated.... tips would be nice. thanks

Im also around this point in cubing, with a best of 56 seconds (pllc skip)

Im beginning to practice intuitive fridrich, which once you learn the 3 main cases is easy to do. I can't do it fast enough to use as my fastest method yet, but hopefully I will get better.

What method for the last layer do you use. If you are using the one taught by pogobat/dan brown on youtube, you may want to consider changing to the universal last layer method. Its much faster and only used 2-3 new algorithms.

It begins there and it continues onto a fully solved cube, that should spped up your times a little.

I have been cubing for 7 months with the beginner method, and I am averaging anout 40 seconds. Record is 27.60, a little unlucky is 50's, mental lock is a little above a minute. I am doing 3-5 mps.

Don't respond to threads from last year. Look at the date before you post.

If you are just aiming for 50 sec contantly and not sub 30, then I recommend watching badmephisto's videos on Youtube. They are very helpful. I as averaging 40 sec when I started watchinghis videos. Now I am averaging 22 sec.

Seriously, read the date on this thread. It's 9 months old.

3-5 mps, with an average of 40 seconds on beginner's method? That can't be right; beginner's method normally takes 80-100 moves.

(yes, this is an old topic)

Maybe he means 3-5 mps (I thought tps) WHEN he is moving? Beginners often have long pauses, but can execute the 5-10 algs they know pretty fast
