I need your opinions about 2 sided recog for PLL

Is 2 sided PLL Recognition so easy that you should learn it while learning PLL?

So, I think that 2 sided PLL recognition is a bit easy and everyone should learn it when they are learning full PLL by learning the recognition for each case as they learn that algorithm. This helps in faster recognition and therefore, faster improvement?
It is pretty easy too with the exception of Gc and Ga perms. You just have to spot patterns and that isn't hard too with the exception of Ga, Gc and F. This is my opinion. However, you can vote for and post a brief opinion about it.
 
I would prioritize learning the algs first. You can train the recognition while you do slower solves. That way you can learn it while strengthening your PLL muscle memory.

but as with all things cubing related it depends on how you personally learn things faster. It probably isn’t the same for everyone.

I learnt 2 sided recognition when I was learning PLL. So its Personal preference I guess.
 
It’s an interesting idea. We all learn to recognize the PLLs in some way or another so why not start with 2 sides. Personally I sat down to learn 2sided PLL recognition one day and just decided it wasn’t worth it for me yet...the fundamental concept didn’t seem to resonate.

it’s pretty awesome you managed it using PLL, I can only imagine that will help you as you solve more and more...
 
I never set out to learn 2 sided PLL recognition, but interestingly it seems I unintentionally learned it through lots of solves because I can get 10/10 on the cubeskills quiz most of the time. I wouldn't say that learning it while learning the PLL's themselves is that beneficial, because I think it would over complicate things a bit for people learning PLL. People who are just starting on PLL can have a difficult time with correctly recognizing the PLL normally, so I think adding another layer would just confuse you more.

I still don't know how I managed to do it. It was completely unintentional. I somehow managed to notice Z perms, H perms and checkerboards in everything.
It was possible partly due to the CubeSkills test and partly due to my habit of spotting patterns in everything.
Yeah 2 sided recognition helps.
