The One-Answer Question Thread [closed]

I average around 45-50 for 4x4. I use Yau. On an average solve, here are my splits:
First 2 Centers: 4-5
3 cross dedges: 7-10
Rest of centers: 8-10
Rest of edges: 10-20 (Varies a lot)
3x3: 10-20 (Depends on Parity)

What do I need to work on the most?

While I'm slower than you are, I think that you should work a bit on bringing the rest of centers to 6-8, and the rest of edges to 8-17. Also, try and see if you can get rid of OLL parity during center building(it's hard, but some people can do it).

I have been looking for all advanced cases for f2l in BR slot, but can't find a site which providing all things I want,
can someone please help me?

Just use the same algs you'd use for FR/FL, just mirrored in some way.

i meant how do find a good tension?

Oh, well, it's all personal preference.

Absolute F2L
Check under "Podstawowe" for all F2L cases from every possible angle (y0,y,y2,y')

Ooh, that'll be useful for me too

Saw this on the wiki, is it legit? Doesn't seem right.

Hmm. Good point, he had a 2.66 magic average on his latest competition. I don't think you can improve so many in two months. It has to be fake.

I have personal experience of him not being legit (contest) so i would doubt this is either

in advanced f2l, BR cases are different then FR, just do mirrors or reverse won't do fast, there are specific algs for BR case.

thank you!

Yeah, it reeeeeally does seem fake, I mean sub-WR single average of 12 and sub-WR average average of 100? I'm not believing it

 

[Ralinda4]

It is. I'm not sure how it compares to other F perms, but I really like it.

What's the alg to do the pattern of the speedsolving logo?

http://cubefreak.net/speed/cfop/f2l_list.php that's a good site too.

 

[Rpotts]

I disagree, every case that I use for FR I use mirrored for the BR slot. You don't need to learn new cases for the BR slot except in a few specific instances. Are you talking about if the BR slot is open?

Are there any tutorials on how to one look 2x2 solves other than RCTACameron's?

Why on earth would you want to OL a 2x2?

I spend too much time pausing between steps in 2x2.

Learn to use inspection more wisely

Ortega/CLL?

I'm easily sub 20 at the moment. I average from 16-18 seconds. I'm currently learning full OLL (42 algs now) and trying to use X - cross and edge control in my solves. I have no idea how to preserve a pair or how to make X -crosses. All the X- crosses I make are mostly by accident or really really easy and usually occur about once in 500 solves maybe.

Could anyone give me some advice on what I should be doing and how I can improve overall?

Thanks heaps

It may be worth looking at how Petrus users create their initial 2x2x2 block, if you could do that optimally, then you've two easy pieces away from an X-cross.

 

[Outsmash]

I'm getting a square-1, pyraminx and and a 2x2.

Could anyone tell me the fastest method for each and maybe a link to a tutorial?

Also an easy method of solving these (basically for understanding the puzzle and its movements and such).

Thanks
