Hihi
So apparently I average 12 (and I have a source on that), and I wanted to get some tips from people who dose gj at 3x3 but aren't Mollerz

About my solving style:
I use a hybrid Petrus-CFOP style with tricks primarily from WV, MW, COLL, ELL, and to a much lesser extent, OLLCP and ZBLL. I am white/yellow-fundamental neutral.
During inspection, I usually try finding a decent 2x2x2 first, and if there aren't any good pairs I try finding a good cross. On occasion I can see the x-cross I'll build, but that's usually with a 2x2x2 start. I like solving my first step ergonomically, and because of it (as well as never learning to solve with cross on D), I usually don't solve cross on D. Sometimes U M2 U' F x' builds a better 2x2x2 than another option, so I'd opt for that. What can be said about this?
Some solvers tell me to ditch building blocks in general for speedsolving, but I take that "advice" kind of like I might expect a Roux solver to react to being told to use CFOP in order to improve.
F2L can be much improved. Sometimes I rotate excessively, and I think it's due to not having lefty training fundamentals earlier in my solving career. I am definitely right-hand dominant for cubing. Rotating too often in F2L might also be due to weak look-ahead, and while I know I have the capacity to look ahead very well (and have gotten 9s and 10s to show for it), I don't know what I need to do differently in order to get closer to looking ahead 100% of solves 100% of the time. I feel like I need a key to unlock good look-ahead on a solve, but I'm not sure if it's just a focus thing or a nerves thing or just a scramble-to-scramble thing.
LS+LL is dodgy because on occasion, I like to incorporate cool subsets of things that I've learned in the past, but in doing so give up the opportunity for a faster LS+LL (and a faster solve) if I had done OLL and PLL. Orienting edges, trying to build tripods (sometimes), and trying to blindly force WV cases are bad, bad habits.
Which brings me to LL. I have intentionally unlearned a few really bad algs for OLL but haven't relearned good ones. I probably only use around 40 good OLLs, and the rest seem like dead ends. For PLL, I still use those wonderful G-perms.
Thoughts?
