[Member Intro] Hi, I'm new

[Iuagan Kenner]

Hello to all of my fellow speedcubers. I am very new to speedcubers and to this forum. I didn't learn the cube fast nor the finger tricks. It took me a week to learn the cube under 6 min and two days to get under 2 min. My average is about 1 min 40 sec. I use the beginners method with the fish formula to solve the 3x3. I really could use some help in learning finger tricks and CFOP. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Hi Iuagan, welcome to the forums!

I assembled some 3x3 methods that can be used to solve the cube in under a minute without memorizing of a bunch of algorithms. However, both of these methods still have useful steps and algs that are used for more advanced CFOP.

The first is called DSEF and it uses known algs and steps in such a way so that a beginner only has to memorize 1 alg (sune, likely the "fish" you alrady know) and 2 sequences (4 moves each). I also turned this method into a step-by-step website and app. http://solvexio.cf

The intermediate method is called FIXLL and has a 4 Look Last Layer. My goal for it was to use the fewest number of algorithms to memorize instead of the standard 16 mostly unrelated ones. It uses only 9 main algorithms to complete the last layer in at most 4 steps. It doesn't go into F2L, but let's the user do that in any manner they know.

Links to one-page quick reference guides are below:

I hope some of that will help you!
