hi this is what watched, I learned it in about a day hopefully it helps.
And i don't know if you can make new tip but you can get some for not that much on 'the cubicle'

I'm still convinced that badmephisto's videos offer the simplest and easiest to understand explanations. The visual quality is a bit lacking, however.

2-Look PLL

I agree with pdilla, badmephisto does have high quality tutorials, though he doesn't make them now that he's at Stanford.

 

[shanky cuber]

thanks guys watched both of them and i know f2l and 2 look oll now

2-Look PLL. ShengShou Wind to get better turning style then Zhanchi when sub 40. No need for lube yet. It would be uncontrollable for you.

the 2 look pll on paradox cubing is the same that i use should i learn the one badmephisto teaches

It probably doesnt make a lot of difference if you will eventually learn full PLL.

I use T and Y perm for permuting the corners.

Don't learn CFOP straight off. Check out other methods and choose one. There's Roux, ZZ, Petrus, Waterman(Please don't), and some more.

lol I use Waterman and get sub 20... You just need to know what your doing.

For a beginner, I wouldn't recommend it.

 

[theROUXbiksCube]

true! I whole heartedly agree with Galifrey!
ROUX has smexy stuff
CFOP is the town bike
PETRUS is Bloxy
ZZ is Zuper Z-Cool

Your guide to choosing a method that isn't beginners. Have fun!

aside from your brutally psychopathic butchering of my username, if you like some parts of roux, and other parts of say, cfop, then (if compatible) you could mash them together. (EG, F2B+EO+'non LL edge permutation? idk what to call it', then use PLL for the rest. Basically what I do when I'm trying and failing to do roux and I somehow run across a wild Ua-Perm)

Sorry about the overuse of commas XD it was the only way...

Wat? EG for 3x3? Wat is non LL ep?

 

[ketchuphater999]

Wat? EG for 3x3? Wat is non LL ep?

EG for 3x3? What? Never mentioned that...

by non LL EP I mean permuting all the [remaining] edges other than the LL edges.

 

[shanky cuber]

when should i start learning full pll i am around sub50 sec right now

 

[theROUXbiksCube]

no wait until sub 40

 

[jms]

Wait till you've got F2L and the cross perfected first.

Well, maybe 'perfected' is a bit strong.
