Hi World

[QuabMuffin]

Hey, I'm Leo, and I'm a 12 Year old from western Oregon.
There was a cubing fad that started at my school about 1-2 months ago.
after awhile I started to get bored with the layer by layer method, as I was pretty much reaching the peak times you can get whit lbl (about a average of 44s with a pb of 29.46s) So I decided to do some research on faster methods. After looking through it all, I decided on CFOP, because I personally enjoy learning algorithms. So far I've learned two look OLL (which doesn't improve you times that much) plus a few other oll algs. Ive learned 4 PLL's, and I'm starting to get a basic grasp of F2L, but it made me about 20 seconds worse. Now I've decided to join this forum because I'm at the point where I know that I'm going to stick with cubing for a long while, and I'm not just joining in on a short lived fad. I'm exited to converse with you all and share my progress.

Welcome! When you say that you have learned 4 PLL's, do you mean that you are learning 2 look, or just going straight to full? I would definitely recommend learning 2 look PLL first. My times got worse as well when i learned F2L, much worse. That is natural so don't get too discouraged. See you around!

Hello Leo! Welcome! I'm from Portland, and I went to school at UO in Eugene. Now I'm living in Korea though, so I'm pretty far away Just keep practicing. If you got to 44s with LBL, you will get to Sub-30 pretty quick with F2L.

Welcome! F2L will get you slower at first but when you get more used to it you'll see your times improve a lot.

I was going straight too full, but do you think I should scrap that for now and go too two look?

It depends, which ones do you already know?

There's no need to rush things. Make sure you look at other methods like roux and zz before your start cramming fridrich algs.

When I was learning PLL, I learned all the EPLLs (the two U perms, H perm and Z perm) first, and then I gradually learned other ones whenever I saw a case that I thought would be useful.
