too confused

[ahmedkl]

Well my LBL average dropped below 1min 20 sec , but i still think i am very very slow . I have been cubing from abt 2 months but still haven't got my time under 1min. So what should i do? learn a new method?currently i use the LBL method

 

[bluecloe45]

Well he's at the point where most people learn an advanced method.
If you get too good with the beginner's, it might be hard to switch to a different method.

Why would it be hard?

Some people say its hard (they got sub 50 times with it). It wasn't hard for me though.

I guess if you use LBL for a long time then switch to a block building method, it might be kinda awkward to get used to.

Because you're so used to doing it the LBL way. I learned f2l 2 weeks after I first solved the cube, so I wouldn't have a hard time transitioning. Maybe it's the same case here.

If you are interested in fridrich: http://www.youtube.com/badmephisto

All you'll ever need.

Edit: F*ck! I hate when people ninja me!

 

[clarubik]

Use badmephistos F2L and 2 look OLL and PLL videos and then just practice practice practice and you should be able to get sub 50 at least

 

[ahmedkl]

i also know f2l initiative method , but it takes way too much time to spot the correct pieces and my time goes up 3min +

So practise it. That's how you get faster.

 

[Andrew Ricci]

Practice, Practice, Practice F2l.

And if all the practice gets you nowhere, try roux or petrus.

Edit: Ninja'd again!!????

Ninja'd. Lol

Initiative? You mean intuitive lol.
Just practice, my times went way worse when I started using it, then they dropped. Alot.

 

[ahmedkl]

yes intuitive method sorry , you have learned all the algo's of F2l or you do the it the intuitive way?

 

[Andrew Ricci]

I learned algorithms for the tough cases, yes.

 

[ahmedkl]

ok can you link me to the algo sheet of f2l?

 

[Anonymous]

The jump in times is normal for intuitive (note- intuitive, not initiative) F2L. If you have decided to stick with Fridrich, just keep up with your practice of F2L, and your times will eventually go down.

EDIT: Ignore me, my computer wasn't displaying all the responses to your post.

Teh F2L page. Ya.

Also: Don't use this until you average ~50 seconds. You can easily make it there with intuitive.

 

[dabmasta]

it isn't necessary to learn algs for f2l. In my opinion, you should develop your own algs that work for you.

~40 seconds is a better idea.
