All of the times that I got over 30 were messups on step 4b(Petrus)
It happened like ten times. The actual issue was it was around 11 at night, and I kept spacing a lot, and I would mistakenly insert the wrong pair into the slot....I'm opposite color neutral(yellow/white) but I'm completely color nuetral on my 2x2x2, I just need to expand into white or yellow. I know not many people use Petrus but I'd like to hear others techniques from expansion to 2x2x3, to 4a/4b.

Mine is as the follows:

2x2x3air DRF corner with FR edge and insert after placing RD edge into correct orientation.

Or, DRF corner insert alone, DR edge alone, and FR edge alone, depends on the case.

Bad edges:I hold my 2x2x3 on the BD. Purely improve, I know like 2 or 3 of Petrus' god moves for certain positions, but i primarily set up bad edges in say the FL or FR then move it into the U and replace them by turning U one by one.

F2L: My most familiar way would be paring the FR slot, the rotating so 2x2x3 is in my right hand, then 2 gen last slot.

Any suggestions? I uber wish I could has a camera right now for realz...

[ErikJ]

you do the same thing I do for 2x2x3. your bad edges can improve quite a bit I think if you do a lot of set up. Bad edges should only take about 1 second. finishing your F2L should be done completely on the right side. watch some of my videos. I have a slow motion average of 5 that might help.

[Neutrals01]

Tried my 1st attempt of average of 100 today....I solved it in one short..as in no rest, my hands got more and more tired after each solve... and even getting lots of 35+ secs solves.. Does this even shows that it is my true average? As in my hands got more and more tired till can't solve at max speed..

Average of 100 : 28.33 (using cubetimer.com, so the solves are from 100 to 1..)

its interesting that you get slower... i seem to get infinitely faster in proportion to the amount of cubes i do. i did an average of 100 (full solve) of 20.85 or something, from cold, and by the last 20 ALL of my solves were comfortably sub 20 (17-18), whereas my first 20 were all about 7s slower...

That statement calls for a video at the end of a 24 hour marathon

 

[Escher]

lol with that i'd probably get about -3 minutes for each solve...

 

[JLarsen]

lol with that i'd probably get about -3 minutes for each solve...

I cannot hold focus for a hundred solves, but then again it takes me close to 2 hours to complete...

Oh and I did what you said about the right hand f2l, I do it with no cube rotations any longer, and I really do agree with you about those bad edges. They take me like 5 seconds to even like 8! That's my whole last layer! How might I improve on that? Learn all of Petrus' god moves n such?
