My splits for Petrus are:
2x2: 4
2x2x3: 4
EO: 5
F2L: 5
LL: 4
I average around 23-25
How can I improve. I want to be sub-20 on 2 methods already.


Oh and Raiz calm down with your post.

If you notice, the user actually had a username. What probably happened is that he joined, caught some flak for some nubbish thing, and then deleted his profile. I'm pretty sure that if you post and then delete, that's where the guest comes from.

I would say to work on the EO-F2L, with a bit of practice you should be able to get them down to 5 seconds combined.

 

[Raiz]

do you guys think memorizing 1 alg a day is too much?

 

[RyanReese09]

If you go any slower then that you won't be learning any algs.

 

[Raiz]

ok thanks.

Same here,do you use it in all your speedsolves where you get an L case?

it depends on which angle I get them from, if I get them from my normal OLL angle and it is one of the comms I will just do OLL and sometimes end up eating the diag corners.

Just for eric : All my L COLLs -

Opp stickers on top -

FRU is same/opp of top colors


F R' F' r U R U' r' (inverse of normal chameleon T OCLL)

FRU is adj color to top colors


y F' r U R' U' r' F R (normal OLL)

Stickers are matching on top

FRU is adj color

R U2 R D R' U2 R D' R2 (A9 Comm, inverse of common Headlights OLL)

FRU is opp color

y' R' U2 R' D' R U2 R' D R2

Stickers are adj on top

FRU PIECE has matching colors (FRU matches URB and RFU matches ULF, but i just recognize that the FRU piece is matching)



y' r' U2 R2 B' R' B R' U2 r (mirror of the common R U2 R' sledge fish OLL, with 2 wide turns to preserve EO)

FRU PIECE has opposite stickers


R U R' U R U2 R' U R' U' R U' R' U2 R (two sunes, theres probably a better one out there)

That took a lot of effort

I use COLL whenever I can hoping for a skip.

My question: I just received my brand new vcube 5,its terrible out of the box and I have to apply a lot of force to turn it,So I'm sure lubing and modding would help,Can someone please guide me to the latest mods available for V cube 5,I will also be lubing it but I'm not sure where to apply the lube,so yeah this is my first ever 5x5 and any help would be appreciated.

EDIT : WOOOOOT!!! 500TH POST

Is there a website with COLL algs on a 2x2 diagram? I find the extra pieces on a 3x3 diagram distracting.

Is this what you are looking for?

 

[OMGitsSolved]

Are those COLL algs or normal CLL algs?

 

[Schmidt]

it says CLL so I guess that it is CLL. What is the difference between 2x2x2 COLL and 2x2x2 CLL?

2x2 COLL preserves non-existing "ghost" edges.

 

[Schmidt]

2x2 COLL preserves non-existing "ghost" edges.

So it is like solving a 2x2x2 with 3x3x3 algs?

 

[NaeosPsy]

Yep.
But you still 1-look all LL corners, just longer algs(some of them)

 

[OMGitsSolved]

You're telling him wrong. That's not what it is.
Normal CLL algs don't preserve all of the edges and it might preserve some and mix up random edges on a 3x3 cube but since there are no edges on a 2x2 they are okay to use on 2x2. But with COLL you solve all of the corners in the LL in one look while preserving all of the edges except the LL edges but I does preserve the LL edge's orientation.

And no. Solving a 2x2 but with 3x3 algs is called LBL. The first layer being your "cross" and the last layer being OLL and PLL just forgetting the edges.

I feel like my questions never get answered or fully answered on this thread...

How about this then??

 

[OMGitsSolved]

Well, it's good but I check some and it's missing color and and a few cases. And some of the algs don't work.

 

[EricReese]

Try anthony brooks site, he has CLL pictures with algs associated with them. If you don't want to learn the CLL algs and would prefer COLL, just download the page, edit the HTML to show a different alg for each picture, and learn that way. (speedcubing101.com)
