My F2L Efficiency?

[Leo]

I'm trying to cut down on my F2L times and while practicing look ahead I also want to know if I can cut my moves down as well.

Here it goes

Scramble 1: B F' U2 B2 L D2 U L2 R' F L' R B2 F' L R U' F2 D R' D2 U' B' F L'
Cross:y' x U' L R' D' x' u' F' (9)
First F2L Pair: y R U R' U R U' R' (8)
2nd: U L' U L U2 L' U L (8)
3rd: U L U2 L' d' R U' R' (8)
4th: U R' U2 R U R' U' R (8)

Thats...*counts* 41...wow, I thought I was better than that, but thats counting the first two cube rotations which I would've made during inspection.

Scramble 2: U L R' D' U' B' F L D2 B2 D' U2 F2 L F' R' U L2 R' D' U' F2 U' L2 F
Cross:U' L2 D(First F2L Pair: y' R' U R) L F' L' (10)
2nd:[L' U' L U]*2 L' U' L (11)
3rd: U' R U' R' (4)
4th: d L' U' L U2 L' U L (8)

Total Moves: 33 A lot better lol.

Do 12 solves, counting the moves of the F2L. Try getting that around 30-35, and you will be in a good shape.

First one: B F' U2 B2 L D2 U L2 R' F L' R B2 F' L R U' F2 D R' D2 U' B' F L'
x' U' R' U' x' U L (5)
R U' R' U' F U' F' (7)
R U' R' L U' L' (6)
U R2' F R2 F' (5)
R' U2 R U R' U' R U R' U2 R (11)
Total of 34 (and a nice and easy LL)

 

[Harris Chan]

First one: B F' U2 B2 L D2 U L2 R' F L' R B2 F' L R U' F2 D R' D2 U' B' F L'
x z D' R U R' L F L2 x' (7)
R U' R2' U R (5)
d U R' U R (4)
U' R U' R' U R U' R' (8)
d' L U L' (4)

7+5+4+8+4= 28 moves

 

[Lofty]

First one:
F L F' B R' u R'
L U' L2 U L
U' R U' R' U2 R U R'
L U' L R' U' R
y R' U2 R U2 R' U R
33 Moves

Second One:
y2 U' R U F R u
R U R'
U' R' U R
L U L'
L' U' L U L' U2 L U L' U' L
27 moves
I think there is a better way to do that last pair but thats how I would do it.

 

[Pedro]

First
y' R F R' L y R D B'
F2 R' F2 R
U R2 U2 R U R' U R2
U L' U' L y' U' L' U L
U2 y L' U2 L U L' U' L

35

 

[Pedro]

Harris,
yours is missing a x', after the cross

 

[Cerberus]

Mine for the first one is:
y' R F M' D' z' x D B' (6)
F2 R' F2 R (4)
U L U' R' U' R U' R' U R (10) O_O
L U' L' d L' U' L (7)
U' R U R' U' R U R' (8)
makes 35 together, hmm i am confident, because i need to practise less turns too, just for fun tried it better for second f2l pair

y' R F M' D' z' x D B' (6)
F2 R' F2 R (4)
y L U' R' U' y' R' U R (7)
U' L' U' L U' L' U L (8)
U L U L2 B L B' (7)

so 32 better and also top cross

 

[Harris Chan]

Woops, thanks Pedro.

[TimMc]

o.O sub 30 moves ...

I average around 70 moves with my method :-/

F2L is still my favorite part of the solve

Fridrich F2L is not efficient, in my opinion.

(Even though I am faster with it in speed than with Petrus)
