He
I need a good alg to orient the cross in 2L OLL with OH.
I now use: F R U R' U' F'.
I saw a thread about it a while ago, but I can't find it anymore.

Was it this?

Yeah thank you.

should i make a square-2 out of my bump square-1?

 

[~Adam~]

How do I link youtube videos? Namely this one

Tried the search but me failed.

 

[Sa967St]

Does anyone have a CubeTwist Square-1? If so, it is a decent Square-1?

 

[vcuber13]

if you mean embedding

[noparse]

[/noparse]

can you buy square-2s, if so where?

You can buy cubetwist Square 2's on lightake

4x4x4 methods

ok first i want to tell you that i know that recently there are a lot of theards about it and i read some of them and didn't found myy answer so i post this theaard to ask

this is the method that i use:

1.do the centers (center by center)
2.than pairs the edges (it took my most of the time)
3.cross in the white side
4.OLL
5.PLL

what do you think about it? how can I improve it, and how to get faster
thank you all

 

[ianini]

This is basic reduction. Practice to get faster.

I want to switch my F-II core out. Will the Alpha or C4U core work?

 

[vcuber13]

c4u core i know does

 

[jiggy]

I currently have a cube with F-II centres and an Alpha-V core. Nothing bad happened when I put them together. The cube isn't too great, but it does have different cubies again. (One ugly hybrid.)

what is the advence method for 4x4?

[vcuber13]

what part of reduction and practice didn't you read?
faz and dan and most people use reduction just some variant

Unless there was a big change, most people use reduction, or the method you're using now.

Practice your OLL most importantly, that is where you can save a lot of time, I did not understand how you did your F2L, (or is white your top side?) for me, white as bottom, I go: white cross, white corners+edges (Jessica Friedrich method) and then 2 look OLL and PLL. Improving your F2L time is also a quick way of doing it.

I had two questions, but I forgot one, the time it takes me to do the white cross takes an outrageous amount of time, but it averages about 10 seconds. I have been able to decrease every other time, except for this. I tried doing it blind, but I cannot seem to visualize it every time, sometimes it works and I can cut it down to about 5 seconds, can anyone help with this?

F2L OLL PLL
it take to me about the 45 second minus plus i think
i do it in 3 min 15 seconds in average(the whole cube)

Practice reduction.
Advance methods out there: Yau, K4, varients of redux, LBL (worst).

what is the best method?like fridrich in 3X3

 

[Lorken]

Oh, so you're really new? You don't need to change anything when you're new until you get your times down to about 1 min 30 or the 2 min mark, that way, you will see a dramatic increase when you change methods. You will also become a lot more used to your cube by that time, and make sure you lubricate well (hehe)
