I also posted this:

15.23 sec! It helps me realize how important it is to look ahead and stop pausing to look for pieces.
Any suggestions on how to get faster?

Edit: I'm using Petrus with 3L COLL and EPLL.

Watching your self solve really shows you what you need to improve upon.

try to solve the cube really slow, but without any breaks. try to look ahead.

e.g. i can concentrate on look-ahead on f2l because i dont have to think alot after i found the missing pieces. i internalized the movements, so i can search for other pieces

Welcome to the forums! It depends on what method you use. If you're using Dan Brown (beginner's) method, then try learning Keyhole. (Look it up on Youtube.) It'll greatly decrease your times.

Nukoca-question: how come your sig is more than 2 lines?
Nice solve. Too bad there's not badmephisto-level-quality petrus videos (maybe i'm wrong?)

I'm not sure.. I couldn't figure out how to make the words on separate lines, so I ended up just doing "tab" and it worked. If you highlight it, you'll see that it IS two lines.
