how much the cross matters

[sahunhong]

Guys i just realized how much my cross matters.... i used to be really slow at it (10 secs) and now i've dropped a BIT to (6.5)sec avg...

i also practiced fridrich F2L and now my PB is 48.98!!

just took my avg 4.27 should practice that a bit might bring it down to three or less. my problem is F2L so have to work on that too

If I practices really hard, would I achieve under 4 seconds on the cross? (My avg. of the cross is about 5 seconds)

heh, i've never really bothered to find my average cross speed. I usually try to go with the fewest moves o.O

 

[jackolanternsoup]

for me f2l is the vital part. everything else is mostly consistent.But my f2l decides if my time is fast or slow.

I also go for fewest moves

I go for fewest moves and speed at the same time. It's not that hard.

I think sub-3 average cross should be accessible.

well i decided to take my cross average after i read this thread =P, so here it is.

(scrambles with cross color on top)

i think this is pretty descent, not too good, not too bad. i want someone to also take their cross average with these scrambles, just to see how i compare with others.
