Im stuck at around 20 seconds on 3x3 but it's hard to get better. Does anyone have any tips for me?
 
Yes, we have tips, but can you send a critique video that is form you perspective? Using that we can see how you solve and can improve.
Sure! I will be able to tommorow. I will set a reminder for me. I might be able to today, but probably not.
 
I watched the video and I think you have solid skills and cubing knowledge.

I have a tip on just slow solving and having deliberate practicing instead of just grinding Solves.

Instead of just doing the first thing that comes to your mind, like U U U U' y y2 U etc , spending more time on inspection and putting the foot on the break pedal can lead you to more benefits at long term. Use your practicing time to test all the possible outcomes of your moves. Maybe you should put the timer away.

I would advice you to practice big cubes too, others types of puzzles and different 3x3x3 cubing methods of you haven't yet.

I know that it seems counterintuitive, but that helps you learn better techniques and methods for 3x3x3, even if you decide to main 3x3x3 with CFOP for the rest of your life

You are very good, you will get faster in no time!! Cheers

Thank you so much! I will start implementing your tips. Cheers!
 
Bro u can get fast soon. Just work on ur cross and try to avoid pauses during f2l by practicing alot. Also work a bit on ur tps..if ur struggling with tht then u can try loosening ur cube (i wouldn't recommend tht tho)

Overall just keep solving


Hope this helps :D
