the sound is the stackmat in the microphone sorry just mute the volume.

I think you need to drill your F2L algs and cases a bit more because you're hesitating a bit and doing unnecessary U turns. Then you're tilting the cube to find pieces which is fine but is better to avoid that. And during your last layer you are rotating to execute an alg which during last layer is bad, that can be fixed by doing a U turn to have a better angle for the alg and then do AUF.

Spoiler: A J Perm video on bad habits

The video contains some solves which are more advanced so it's not necessary for you to watch them, mostly just watch the first part of the video were he explains something about reducing bad habits.

i know i do the u turns to see what f2l case it is. Your right about drilling the algs ima do that after finish school
i rotate for no reason on LL even though i know i should do U turns
i have to tilt so i can see the pieces but i can do that by doing wide D, but its awkward for me.

also is there a regripless sune alg i cant find one. I do rur then i have to regrip to do the rest

This is the standard sune alg, I think: R U R' U R U2 R'

guys i think i should learn look ahead
because when i cube i have to look everywhere for f2l pieces which takes alot of time.
Look ahead will help me locate f2l pieces faster.

Pretty much, except that you should learn how to do U2s by doing the first U with the index and then the next one with the middle finger.

You could, but I wouldn't recommend it right now because you aren't sub-40 yet, it's better to learn how to look-ahead when you're like sub-30 or sub-25

yea but im practicing the f2l algs and i keep pausing.

 

[TheSlykrCubr]

yea but im practicing the f2l algs and i keep pausing.

cause you need to work on recognition

 

[Nir1213]

cause you need to work on recognition

ok i will

So i have been practicing my recog and now i seem to barely make much pauses, there are only some little pauses. How I did this is by just slowing down a little then i just solved. It seemed to have helped alot.

Im getting nice averages

 

[Nir1213]

i still have a problem. I cant just see two pieces and recall how to do it immediately, it takes me time and i just do unnecesary turns. Im practicing my f2l but it keeps happening and I dont know how to solve it. Help!

The only solution is slow solves and practice, watch jperm's videos about lookahead to fix it. You don't need to "look ahead", but try to turn slowly and recognize cases.
