Hi?

Hi, I'm new here, and I've been cubing for 2-3 months. I've just started trying to memorize OLL and PLL, since I already know the beginners method. Unfortunately, I can only solve the 3x3. Just got a speedcube... Uh, had a really stiff Rubiks cube lying around for 4-5 years... Haven't timed myself yet. Is there any other stuff I missed??

Learn F2L!! And there are plenty of tutorials for 4x4 and bigger cubes. Just look them up on youtube

Welcome! Which speedcube did you get?
I'd look here; there's lots of useful info in that thread.

Welcome! I'm very new myself but I would recomment you time yourself sometime.
I use this timer, do you know f2l?
Have a nice time!

This is a good thread to check out before you commit yourself to learning a bunch of OLL and PLL algs. See which method you find the most fun, and welcome to the forum.

Hi! If your going to learn Fridrich method than learn f2l first... I recommend learning about pairing and putting the pieces in... but then, instead of learning a bunch of algs first, learn how to do it intuitively... eventually start learning algorithms to make your f2l faster.... Next 2-look Oll and ofc 2-look Pll.... Then practice looking ahead for the next pair when doing f2l... and keep learning Pll's... I know it might sound like a lot... but don't worry about doing it all very fast.... learn it at your own pace.... The best thing you can do... IS PRACTICE! practicing will be your best friend if you want to get faster!
