There has been a lot of F2L threads around so I decided to make a MASTER THREAD o.O
any here are the videos to learn from:
Part 1

part 2

POST ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE HERE!!!!
you may need to learn algorithms for longer cases, you can learn them from here:http://www.cubestation.co.uk/cs2/index.php?page=3x3x3/cfop/f2l/f2l
or here: http://www.opticubes.com/cubing/f2l/
It has a good amount of differant algs
HOW TO GET FASTER AT F2L
1. Learn intuitive F2L. Get familiar with the cases and learn to recognize at least every case slowly. Know what to do for those cases.
2. Practice F2L in EVERY solve, don't slack off now. Thats an important factor. Even though it might seem like you're getting slower, in the long term it will increase your speed IMMENSELY and save you many turns.
3. By now you should be naturally be doing F2L in every solve. It should be getting quite smooth between slots but there will be delays. nows the time to nuckle down and learn some F2L algs. they are short and easy to memo so there are NO excuses for not learning at least a couple a week.
4. You are probabily trying to turn Harris speed in your F2L. STOP slow down and reduce gaps between pairs. It is easy to get over 5 TPS but to sustain it is VERY VERY VERY HARD. I suggest turning slow and looking ahead. Here are some handy tips to look ahead:
- Look for and edge then corner parter
- Look for a corner then edge partner
-if you see an edge already in its slot try to keep it there until the corner pops up
-same as above but with corners.
Those will help you for now but I have to go now
I'LL BE BACK TO EDIT THE REST
