Beat my pb single twice in this , but the average wasn't that good.
I used Fridrich F2L with 3 Look Last Layer.

Brian, should I just move onto the race to sub 25 thread without graduating from here?

1)there is no race to sub25. there is a race to sub20 though

and you dont have to stay here, though the satisfaction of becoming a graduate is nice. your pick

Race to sub 20 states that anyone can join at any time, but you're welcome to stay and graduate if you like!!

Wow. After 2 and a half weeks , I was averaging about 2 minutes, and it took me more than 2 months to average 50.
50 after 2 weeks seems very fast to me!

haha, thanks. Ive pretty much been cubing atleast an hour everyday since ive started but i like to get good at everything i do quickly so no messing about lol. I only got to like a 1:45 average with beginners then i started to learn f2l/oll/pll, granted i dont have very many memorized i have to use a cheat sheet while i solve, but the muscle memory will eventually come.

 

[EricReese]

I never did a LBL method and it took me 1 month to avg 31 seconds..

 

[Godmil]

Yeah but Eric you're an exception

Spoiler

Wish I could keep up with you.

Anyway, welcome to the thread bobo, impressive times indeed. Out of curiosity can you say a little more about your cubing... like how many algs you know, or what type of cube you use. Cause you completely blew my 2.5 week times out of the water.

Two years, three months for me and I still don't have sub-30 in my sights!

Well, that was rubbish. Not warmed up enough at the start (but had nice solves to compensate) and then just bottled it under pressure at the end
OK, Def sub 35 next week.

 

[EricReese]

Well I have my brother to help me , though he doesnt help much. It took me a very long time to learn the algs, it took me like over 2 weeks to learn 2look OLL and full PLL :/

edit : (looked at my cubing file on my computer, it took me 15 days)

thats what im goin for , i have to drop about 15 seconds in two weeks ! lol

Thank you , yay for double posting didn't see this lol. I use intuitive F2L however i am NOT color neutral with it yet, i can do white and yellow. I do bottom cross, which i just figured out on my own with about 20 minutes of trial and error. I use 2 look oll/pll and only use the 7 basic oll's except for T because thats easy . I use about 15/16 different pll's but only have about 5 or 6 memorized. Pretty much the day after i got my crap rubik's brand i decided it wasn't good enough and ordered an Fii from speedcubeshop. Then i decided to try out a white crispier cube so i got myself a Av-F , despite it feeling like it could break easily ( already a few chunks out of it ) i really like the cube. Now just waiting for my cubesmith order =P . Btw if any of you guys want to give me any tips to help me out i would greatly appreciate it.

 

[EricReese]

A thing that helped me was that since I would never look ahead my brother told me to solve with a metronome in the background. Basically I do cross as fast as i can (normal) and during F2L I go slow. During each beep I must do a turn, and you can set this to however slow you need to assure that you actually turn. It forces you to practice lookahead and it helped me a lot. I really recommend it

And finish PLL, you can stick to 2look OLL for a while.

Had a show-stopping pop on one, so I just redid with the double scramble, hopefully that's OK.

Had my personal best this morning, so I was like "OK dude, go go go! Go to the thread!" and I did alright, this should be my best ao12 for the thread (and probably close to lifetime).

Just started learning full PLL this week. Been using 2-look PLL since before, but, now that I'm consistently getting sub 40's on ao5's, I'm going to full PLL (had kinda set it as a goal to learn full PLL when I was doing sub40 on ao5's). Once in a while getting some really good times, like near 30 and a couple sub 30's. It's when the F2L look-ahead starts going for me, so I gotta keep going with the metronome (which pays off, slowly but surely).

Still loving the thread, sorry I missed a round or two from vacation!
