How do you recognise the last both layer cases when solving the 2x2 with Ortega? I seem to spend a lot of time looking for them. Currently averaging about 7s.
Also, are there any tips on how to prepare and "be in shape" for a competition which is in 1-2 months?

What is 2-look?

it's where you learn 2 sets of algs to finish CLL in 2 steps, or "Looks".
first you orient all the corners (7 cases), then you permute them (2 cases).

ideally you should know the case on the bottom layer during inspection, or at least before you start the 2nd face.
ideally for the 2nd face you should be able to tell what case you're going to get by recognizing the CLL case, but if not then you just need quick recognition.
when its an adj swap, obv there are 2 corners solved next to each other, but what also exists on adj swaps that doesn't exist on diag swaps is two non-opposite non-matching colors next to each other (orange + green, white + red, etc.)

Which is the best clock sim?

I use this http://www.kongregate.com/games/d4m4s74/rubiks-clock-simulator

Basically just OLL and PLL? Isn't that just like the LBL method?

Doing 2-look Cll looks worse than ortega in terms of speed.

yes it is OLL/PLL, im thinking 3x3 and i forgot it's just that.
i guess you already know that then.

yeah but it's a stepping stone to full CLL, why would you speedsolve with 2-look?

Can i use other battery models for stackmat timer as long as it is 3V+?

 

[googlebleh]

why would you speedsolve with 2-look?

Because you're too lazy to learn CLL and you don't like the recognition that comes with Ortega.
Speed isn't really a problem for me. I average ~5sec with OLL/PLL and I think if I learn anything else for 2x2x2 I'll just go straight to CLL.
But that'll take a while

There are three edges which hold into the core. Make sure you have those arranged on different axes, while all touching the same three center pieces.

I need to change the stickers on my 5x5 and want to Florian mod it. Should I do the mod with the old stickers or with no stickers?

then dont you think its better to MOD the cube before CHANGING the stickers otherwise yer stickers get pieprzyced up right

Ya but should I do it with the stickers that came on the cube then after modding change the stickers or what?

it doesn't matter, you'll be taking stickers off anyway -_-
