Is this alg popluar for this F2L case?

Setup: F' U' F U R U R' U' y

Alg:r U r' U' r' F r F'

Yeah, I use a rotated version of this alg for the back two slots. I believe it was suggested to me by Chris Hardwick at some point in a thread I made about this case a while back. Very nice alg! =)

Does anyone have an extra Super Square-1, preferably with missing pieces? I had mine taken apart to lube and now I can't get it back together. The screw doesn't want to screw into the oppisite side. So I need just the middle parts or suggestions on how i can fix it.

I hadn't seen that before. Thanks.

I ordered from SpeedCubeShop and got a Track and Confirm code. I used it and it told me it was in Bakersfield California. That was a week ago and the track and confirm still tells me it is in Bakersfield. Whats the deal?

It is in Bakersfield.

If you're having an issue with shipping, it has nothing to do with SpeedCubeShop and everything to do with the carrier.
A two second (literally) Google search gives me that the carrier for domestic shipping is USPS. Another quick Google search tells me that USPS' tracking info is poor at best and often doesn't update until the package has already arrived.

So, just be patient.

At what time should i start to learn full pll and oll? (sub-40 avg?)

learn full pll now.

Learn full OLL when you finish PLL. You don't even have to then. Full OLL isn't necessary for you right now.

Thats fine. Learn 1 look PLL and practice F2L for right now.

should I get the normal cubesmith stickers for F-II or mini stickers? I remember someone said it's better to get mini stickers!
dabmasta, please don't answer this question if it was you suggesting the mini stickers! thank you!

 

[Deleted member 2864]

They both work. The normal ones are a little large, but they stick on fine and none of it should stick out if you place them carefully.

 

[Tykwondo35]

thanks

thanks

If you want to, I would start learning full PLL now. A lot of people recommend waiting until you're sub 20 to learn full OLL. However, I feel that you should learn it right off the back of full PLL.

Really, the choice is yours, but I think you should get it out of the way as soon as possible.

i really dont know how to recongnize pll's though :fp

thanks why the hell didn't I take a look at the cubesmith's website first??
it says that the mini stickers are good for F types. however it's just 1mm smaller!

the first days I started to learn PLL, I thought I would NEVER be able to recognize them within 10 seconds. now that i average sub30, personally I really believe recognizing PLLs is even easier than recognizing OLLs.
just give it some time. I didn't even used any guide. (for example badmephisto's tutorial about recognizing PLLs)

Yes indeed, if you are having trouble you can watch this tutorial. However, you will probably be able to make do without. The more cases you learn, the easier it becomes to spot patterns. I assume that you already know the 2-look cases, I believe the next two easiest to recognise are T-perm and J-perm. They come with nice algs too.

Badmephisto's PLL page has a pretty good order. Personally, I left the G-perms until last as I felt they were the most difficult to recognise.

IMO, the best way to learn PLL and PLL recognition is to execute the alg. In most cases, this puts the cube into that particular case (eg, executing T-perm on a solved cube puts the cube into the T-perm case) and then figure out a way to recognise that case (you may also notice that the letter T is not chosen by accident, this is true for other PLLs too). Good luck!

I was wondering if the cubetwist stickers from here would work with my f-ii and if they are good quality. Is it worth it to buy stickers from cuesmith considering the shipping is much longer internationally

they will but you'll need to be very accurate
