Sub 13 With Two Look OLL, Is It Too Late for Me?

[adimare]

Definitely too late. There are other hobbies out there tho, have you tried crochet?

Learn the Dot Olls, they are easy and easy to recog.

Since you've been around for years, I'll assume you're trolling rather than that you don't know what you're talking about.

OP: The dot OLLs are the hardest to memorize, the slowest to recognize, the slowest to execute, and the least useful out of all the OLL subsets. Leave them until last to learn. Even once you learn them, you should use sledgehammer and some of the other easy edge control cases to avoid them when possible.

My last layer sucks too, but I use 1 look OLL. I have no idea what to do to improve it either.

Probably TPS and OLL PLL transition. 2-sided PLL reco, roll OLLCPs 1LLLS and practice.

Haha, best comment right there.

Not really hardest to memo and slowest to recognize. It is however slow to execute and yes, inserting the last case with sledge will avoid dots

It's never too late to learn full OLL! I only switched to beginners' method at ~30

Don't you mean from beginners' method?

Honestly, for me at least, the dot OLLs are very easy and fast to recognize and they were really easy to learn. I learned them when I averaged about sub-25 seconds or so, while using 2-look. I use the algs on Chris Olsen's website

Cmon, the dot OLLs are the easiest to memorize, there's almost nothing to really memorize in fact, I got them as my first OLLs (after the T shapes) and it took barely a few minutes. I don't think the execution is as bad as everyone claims (at least there are non-dot cases that are slower for me).

Yup, dot OLL is mainly triggers. f sexy f' U F sexy F' etc. There are also uses of sledgehammer. And because they are dots, recognition is fast.

I learnt dots as a last set of OLLs. For a OLL begginier reco sucked. Algs were long and U didn't know how to memorize them well. And all I did was sledge to avoid it. It is easier to avoid dots then to avoid 2-edges oriented OLLs.

Start with ez ones. End with hard ones (dots)

 

[IRNjuggle28]

Hmm, I guess the majority of you disagree with me. Which cases do you guys think are worse than the dot cases?

 

[adimare]

I learned dot cases first too. I did so because they were the case I hated the most and wanted to transition from executing basically 3 algs for OLL to a single one. I don't think the order in which you learn them is that important tho.

the cases i have to do 2 look

 

[Forcefulness]

I think collin burns was sub-10 before he learned 1 look oll

 

[DELToS]

I Recently became sub-20, so I finished learning full OLL

 

[lejitcuber]

I am averaging 10.5 or so and I know only 40 cases of full OLL

 

[shadowslice e]

I'm sub-15 and I only know OCLL and Fruruf, frurururuf and sexy sledge.

Things are never too late. When you see the "pros" solving the F2L in 5 seconds you realize it's more about looking ahead than anything. If your goal is to be the fastest ever in the world then you going to have a frustrating time. If your goal is to enjoy solving and learn new things and learn full OLL.

 

[CubePro]

I don't think its ever too late to learn algs, ask Jabari Nuruddin and OLLiver

 

[Kudz]

I'm not sure, but he was sub-15 I think. Just went learning ZBLL and ZZ. Never too late.
