Good luck getting sub-20.

Do you have an average on cam, so that I can critique it?

 

[CR4FT3RTW0CUB35]

No, unfortunately I don't, however I could do one if you like. Sorry for the late response, I was away for a while.

 

[CR4FT3RTW0CUB35]

Any tips on how to learn full OLL. i am sturggling to recongnize and learn the knight shapes, L shapes, and dot cases. It's a lot harder than I thought. Also, any thoughts on Roux?

you need to learn Full PLL then full OLL and yes I know this will require allot of effort but don't worry
about needing to learn lookahead yet because I average in between 13 and 18 seconds and I don't know
lookahead yet but I am considering to learn it, if your a more experienced cuber than me and your wandering
how dose he average that time or that doesn't add up then my TPS it around 9-10 that might explain it.

I know full PLL and 2-Look OLL. Maybe I should clarify what I mean by I "learned" F2L. What I mean is that I learned pairing up edges and corners and then inserting them. Also, I am working on my look ahead and am considering learning multislotting. Is that what you thought I meant or did you think that I have only learned up to the second layer? Sorry, I find it hard to write clearly

 

[CR4FT3RTW0CUB35]

sub-25 average!!!

 

[CR4FT3RTW0CUB35]

Here's the video for the 2x2 PB single!! (It's not my PB single anymore, but its the only record I have on camera, so who cares? My new PB is 3.19 seconds)

I use Ortega method, btw.

Plus, sub 5.50 2x2 average!

Hi. How fast do you average?
If you are only going for sub 20 don't worry about look ahead yet. At your level, you should be working on being comfortable with recognising every f2l case. If you start looking ahead not you may find it harder to improve. In solves now even you see a pair, you SHOULD turn as fast as you can to solve it and don't worry about your solves being really choppy. I'd recommend only starting look ahead when you average 18.
Also definitely don't start learning multislotting as you need to become comfortable with the basic/intuitive f2l solutions. I'd say that most people who even decide to do a bit on multislotting, average about 10.
Good luck in your improvement

In answer to you question, I average about 25-27 seconds. How about you? Also, do you have any idea how online competition results on speedsolving.com are verified? Cuz, there's no way of knowing whether those results are even true...

 

[JDAW6]

To be honest I think it is based on trust cuz I think that its the that

I average 12-13. I don't really do the weekly competitions but it is basically just requiring people to be honest
