[Member Intro] HEY GUYS ITS ME!!!!!!

[Kshitijjoshi]

Hey guys I am KSHITIJ ( pronounced - Shee-ti-z) from new Delhi ,India. . I am into filmmaking by proffession , who cares what i do and where i live LOL. The point is that i started cubing 2 weeks back with beginner's method and i could solve it in 1 min and 10 sec mark. I started CFOP 2 days back learned F2L intuetively and rest beginners method its taking 2 mins to solve now. i dont know where to start what to learn OLL, PLL, 4LLL there is so much stuff in internet but not organised . Want to be sub 20 , PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Learn 4 look last layer which is 2 look OLL plus 2 look PLL, then start learning 1 look PLL which is 21 algorithms. Then learn advanced F2L techniques once you're around sub-30 and full OLL at around 20 seconds.

[Kshitijjoshi]

Thanks man. What do you think how much time will it take. And Can u help me out in F2L its taking a lot of time intuetively

Hello and welcome!

What do you think how much time will it take.

To sub 20? 6 months with practicing every day.

I did this and it works!

Firstly you should get a good speedcube. It doesn't have to be the best, but it has to be decent enough.

Also, if you don't know the standard move notation, learn it here.

Learn 4 Look Last Layer, which is solving the last layer in 4 steps. It is split into 2 parts: 2-Look OLL and 2-Look PLL.

You can alternatively get algorithms from here.

You should also start learning F2L, and J Perm has good tutorials on it. F2L can slow you down at first, but as you practice more you will get faster. J Perm is a good cubing channel with great tutorials, so also consider visiting his channel to get better.

Now you should learn full PLL, which is 21 algorithms and it turns 2-Look PLL into a one step process.

It's time to learn advanced F2L techniques and how to look ahead, and J Perm had good videos on those.

With all of this, you can average sub-20 seconds.

 

[icarneiro]

They already said the right thing about OLL and PLL, but what will considerably lower your time is F2L
So... my advise is that you have to practice F2L exhaustively!!!

 

[cuber314159]

Welcome, I recommend that you practice F2L alot and definitely learn 4LLL but make sure you have a good speedcube first.

Don't use Rubik's brand!!!
You can probably convert any website but the biggest one I think is thcubicle.us and you could buy a yuxin little magic and this should improve your times if you are using a bad cube.

SpeedCubeShop is usually more popular, and people think it's better

I'm Aussie and i use speedcubes.com.au and dailypuzzles.com.au so I have no idea

The new member is from india so he should use cubelelo.com ,its a pretty famous indian cube shop.

thankssss buddyyyyy

thankyou bro, but i am finding F2L very tough and slow, many cube rotations and very slow.

I am Using mofang MF3RS2 is it okkkkk??

Yes i got my Mf3rs2 from there onlyy!! are you indian too??

 

[Kshitijjoshi]

And guys my MF3RS2 is getting lockyy after 1 week any suggestions to make it smooth?

Haha unfortunately I'm not, but i somehow knew this particular cube shop... probably from CriticalCubing but I've seen people wear their t-shirts at competitions.
