Hello speedcubers
I got back into cubing last month after a ten year hiatus (!) and it's been lots of fun. Would any experienced Rouxers help critique some of my solves? Or share some general advice? My assessment is that I should work on second block lookahead and efficiency -- I can barely find the pieces in time to solve them -- and general turning fluidity since my hands are flailing all over the place. Also I still haven't learned all my 1-look CMLLs!
Separate question is -- is there a consensus on the best method for 4c recognition? The wiki has some reference it but I couldn't find much on these forums. I'm using some version of UFUB based on the "same color / opposite color" that Kian mentions in his videos, but I'm finding it annoying that to look at two pieces on opposite sides of the cube (and I am also tracking the F center / corners to know how to AUF into 4c). Would it be worth it to switch to DFDB recognition -- is that easier?
Thanks and I appreciate the time if anyone is willing to look at these!
