super slow at solving!

ok, peeps, i just reread your suggestions and will just trying to use em, but keep the advice coming plz.

 

[Micael]

ok, the fingertricks i fail at, but i know them, michael.

Fingertricks need lot of practice. But really, try to upload a video, because your situation seems exceptional.

 

[uberCuber]

if you really have to pause that long to figure out what to do next, seriously start using a beginner method. Only looking for one piece at a time and solving them in the same way every time would require a lot less pauses when you aren't used to how to do intuitive F2L

I am with Micael on this I really want to see a video

 

[Stefan]

Is he really not obvious enough?

 

[oprah62]

Have you tried practice?

 

[y3k9]

i already made a full tranistion to fridrich, i just tried the beginners method and it took around the same time as fridrich, doesnt make difference.

 

[y3k9]

yes, oprah, thats at the top of my list of things to do.

 

[y3k9]

ok, ill try all of your suggestions for 1 week, reporting my progress everyday on here.

 

[dabmasta]

Your triple posts are going to get you a warning if you do one more (not to sound like a mod).

Post a video please.

 

[y3k9]

im new, didnt know that wasnt allowed sorry.

 

[uberCuber]

isnt it interesting how he's ignoring all the comments about us wanting to see a video?

 

[Stefan]

im new, didnt know that wasnt allowed sorry.

So your memory of the rules should be extra fresh.

 

[y3k9]

im not gunna upload a video for my own reasons.

Here are the rules, you should have been supplied with the link when you joined, but this would be good to read.

this exactly, if there's no video, we can't see exactly what you are doing wrong

Uh, it's just me, but I would think that you'd try to get around a minute with a beginner method before learning anything after that..

A beginner method shouldn't slow down your times if you're executing correctly; an example would be just layer by layer with 4LLL. People can average sub 30 with that, me included (although I just use F2L).

Listen to what these folks are telling you. I've been cubing for less than two weeks and I had a 1:28 solve today using basic methods (pogobat's on Youtube).

Learning to solve the cross faster helped me a lot, as well as being smoother when executing the algorithms and transitioning from algorithm to algorithm.

To translate: basic method + practice = faster cuber

People have sub-20 averages with 4LLL and LBL. Erik's, for example.

Yea, I was stuck in China with limited internet when I started cubing; every day, I'd have time to learn 1 step of cubing (because the rest of the time I was training for table tennis), and out of boredom I'd just repeat it over and over and over again. The minute I learned how to solve the last layer, I was at about a minute.
