Tips on what I should work on?

Sorry that I don't have a video, my camera hasn't felt like working lately

I recognized the wrong PLL on the 11. All the times include recognition. All the crosses were very easy (and thus fast). It was also one of the first times I attempted to look-ahead while turning normal speed, and it worked pretty good! Took a few seconds off my address (even with the easy crosses)

So, any tips as to what I should work on? I currently use 2 look OLL (I know some, but currently not learning) and 1 look PLL

Easy. Just look at what is taking the most time proportionally and work on improving that. In your case it is obviously F2L like most people. Try looking up things like turbo tracking and other F2L areas that could make it improve

What is your F2L movecount? Your cross looks good for now, but proportionally, your F2L could improve a lot. Shoot for around 35 moves (or less) total for your F2L, counting your cross. Once you get there, work on look ahead to increase your tps.

OLLs and PLLs are improved by practicing the algs (learn full look OLL). Try to look ahead into the OLL at the end of the F2L, and try to look ahead into the PLL during the last few moves of the OLL.

how do you do the cross so fast? my cross avgs 5-8 seconds..

They were all easy crosses (4 moves max).

I should do a cross avg soon

Also, did an ao12 yesterday using single corner turbo tracking, and avg was 21.66! Over 5 seconds off PB

Work on cross (not easy cross. I got in the habit of doing easy crosses and now my cross is around 6 sec because of that) and F2L. How do you do your F2L? Do you go finger tricky? Do you use a lot of sexy moves in it? People usually get slow F2L because they either don't look ahead or use too many moves for F2L. Look at some cases that seem to take longer to do and see how other people (fast people) do those cases. Learn to be able to look for the next pair while you're solving the current pair.

I work on all crosses, it's just that those happened to be easy

You ted seem to for the proportions pretty nicely but I would definitely try and improve your f2l movecount, possibly by comparing your solutions to optimal algs. And you should really drool your algs as that could get Better as well

F2L and PLL, for sure.

Slow down on F2L and look ahead (slow, fluid > Fast, choppy), and drill/practice PLLs. Try to at least sub-3 all of them, and possibly sub-2.

It's mostly F2L holding you back (in my opinion), though, so focus on that the most.
