too confused

[hawkmp4]

Those are arbitrary cutoffs.

 

[ahmedkl]

so i should practice the intuitive method until i don't get under 40sec?

 

[abctoshiro]

If you don't want to learn that much algos....roux.
If you want to do so....fridrich.

owright.?

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

That's what I did for most cases, but for the hard ones I used his page. Or he might just need some inspiration.

 

[XXGeneration]

Eh, I don't think algs help that much, especially if you learn it intuitively, it's much easier to execute f2l pairs from different angles.

Teh F2L page. Ya.

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

~40 seconds is a better idea.

~10 seconds is an even better idea. I'm sub-18 and use intuitive F2L.

charles how do you manage to look for pieces that quickly for f2l?

Er...I think thats late
Like, way too late.
Maybe 30 seconds then. When I was at 30 seconds I knew how to solve 70-80% of cases from all angles.

Besides, not many people can achieve 10 seconds, and this guy isn't sub 1 yet.
EDIT
Try to become colour neutral now, or later it will be really hard.
Colour neutrality can save you a bit of time.

i dont want to get sub 10sec if in some months i could be able to get my time under 30sec then i will be happy with it

 

[imaghost]

I averaged around 34 seconds with my LBL method, then I switched to Fridrich and intuitive F2L

exactleh. Just practice

I think you should do what works best for you, whether it be pure intuitive, pure algs or somewhere in between. For a beginner, it can be really difficult to figure out fast algs for some of the uglier cases with incorrect pairs or misoriented pieces in incorrect slots n stuff. Algs help gain understanding, making it easier to figure out your own algs later.

+1

Exactly what I have been trying to say.

 

[CharlesOBlack]

Practice.

And then some more.

And solving slowly so I have time to look around the cube while I'm solving an F2L pair so I can find the next one.

 

[Godmil]

I still suck, but I found it really helpful to go slowly through some of those algs, just to see what was happening, then tried to go it my own way from there.

Trust me bro, I thought that 2 months ago when I was just getting interested in speedcubing, but now that I am close to achieving. that, I feel like I want to do a lot faster

 

[ahmedkl]

haha thats good but i am really a slow learner but hopefully i will get to my goal
