Sub-15 average quest

[Nir1213]

That is gonna take a long time. any tips for f2l practice?

predict and/or track some of the f2l pieces while doing cross.
And just grind out cases and algs so you can do them instantly without any hesitation.

how should i go about learning the plls?

how should i go about learning the plls?

easy ones first, then the hard ones. The hard ones dont matter the most, and there are most easy ones then hard ones. I havent learnt pll yet.

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has any tips to be sub-30 average of 5, i'm so close and hoping to get there by Christmas. I know 2-look OLL and PLL and i was wondering if anyone had some general practice tips.

Thanks!

I would start with full pll and learning advanced f2l and maybe lookahead i dont use lookahead and i still average about 25 seconds

 

[benthecuber]

ok thank you

 

[FishyIshy]

I got you. When I critique the solve, hopefully this will help you

get really good f2l recog and execution

NONONONO don't learn look ahead yet, you should be at LEAST sub-25 when you learn it. I tried look ahead when i was sub 40 and it was confusing and it didnt really help me at all. You should also learn full pll soon

Practicing F2L should be enough, L U L2 E' L' E2 L' U' E' L' .

It isn't confusing. Just learn to look at different pieces then the ones you are solving. You won't be doing different turns or learning algs. I figured it out just from the name without even watching a vid. an hour after that I got my first sub 20.

What is it for?

blindsolving

smh, I think you're misunderstanding my question...
or I'm misunderstanding something...

I'm asking why did he put that algorithm in his post at that time?

Is it something @abunickabhi thought OP needed to know when he was replying?

It’s just a stupid way to show that he knows some 5-style algs (algs to swap 5 pieces while doing blindfolded).

Ah, so nothing at all to do with OP's quest to be sub30?!!

Weird.

 

[Kaneki Uchiha]

He's the one developing the algs

 

[u Cube]

no, lookahead is very important to learn early. you need it from sub 35 down in my opinion

lookahead isn't something you "learn". Lookahead comes naturally with practice.

 

[Seth1448]

You should learn more advanced f2l cases. Watch j perm’s advanced f2l video, i learned to do f2l cases a LOT more efficiently an it sped my f2l by like 10 seconds definitely watch it if you havent.
