Next step?

[CubingCockney]

heyy you sexy cubers

The thing is, ive been cubing for about 8 months. F2L is kind of ok, currently learning OLL & PLL (1 Look) and I want to know what the next step is?

Yeah most of you will probably say:
"Get your F2L or learn X-Cross"

All in due course my friends. I just want to know for future reference where to go to next. I've looked on the Wiki but most of the pages are DNF so if you could put me in the direction of some good algs to learn after OLL & PLL are done, it would be appreciated.

I've only been cubing for little more than two months now, but I don't think you will need more algs if you know 1-look PLL and OLL. I would say that full PLL is more important, and as many OLL's as you can learn. Then improve your PLL recognition, it helps a lot. Badmephisto has a good tutorial on that topic. And your F2L can always be improved, fast spotting and immediate knowledge of what to do is something I feel is getting a little better all the time. What's your current times?

You could try going color neutral or opposite-color neutral if you aren't already.

yeah that's actually something i really need to get sorted. I cant seem to bring myself from solving white cross!!!
It actually infuriates me. My times suck when i try colour neutral.

Well doing yellow cross should be pretty easy after practicing it for a bit. Just force yourself to do all your solves on yellow for a week or so, and you should be just as good on that as you are on white.
And then you can consider possibly working on other colors.

Try to take advantage of already built pairs, imo e.g. a 2x2x2+edge is way better than a complete cross.

I know how that is I used to solve on only white cross, when I first started color neutral solving my times dropped by about four seconds and it has taken me a while but I have gotten back to where I was before. At first it is hard but you just have to stick with color neutrality and once you get used to it you will never want to go back.
