What method do you use?

[slncuber21]

(I don't know if this has been posted already if so I'm sorry)
Just something to get my mind going on what method to learn. I currently am using the layer by layer method so I am not that fast.... So I was wondering, what do you use, what's your best/average time, and how long you have been cubing for.

THANKS IN ADVANCE!! (=

Been cubing for about 2 years using a layer by layer method then this August I learned Fridrich and I average 23 seconds.

cubing for 4,5 months now and actual learning fridrich, i still need most OLLs and nearly half of PLLs, average is about 28 but it just took advantage the last 2 months a lot, learnt F2L after about 1 or 1,5 month.

Well, first I need to know how fast you can solve a cube before I can give you specific instructions on what to do. As for me I have been cubing for about 2 months, I taught myself a layer by layer where I average about 55 with fastest at 47, now I'm working on F2L + simplified version of fridrichs and can average around 1:15 with it (Don't have any besides one of the algorithms memorized, planning on it during the next couple of weeks) and started that method about 2 weeks ago (been really busy latetly)

Been cubing about 5 months, I use a mix of the beginner method and Fridrich. (F2L + beginner LL) My PB single is 36.45 and my PB average is 45.3

been cubing for 6 days...I use LBL but only know 2 algos for middle layer and 2 algos for last... (3x3x3) fastest is 1:30 average 1:45
for 2x2x2 been cubing for 1 day ... use CF(duh)+OLL(that of a 3x3x3)

Look through my posts to find my method 4GO, you might like it better, unless thats the method you were talking about =-P

 

[4GO57O]

lol...I'll try your method when I finally get a new rubik's cube I hope to get a lot faster when I master your method ... oh yah...the method you're talking about is the one in the thread 'okay so I'm new to this stuff' thingy thread? k

 

[Kemp_Drumsalot]

What kind of cube are you using?

 

[4GO57O]

I use a fake rubik's cube that even though I lubed still...doesn't move that smooth...
3x3x3 cube

 

[Kemp_Drumsalot]

What do you mean by fake? Like the cheap ones from China?

 

[4GO57O]

cheap as in like.....yah well...they're made in china.... pop easily and moves like bleh

 

[Kemp_Drumsalot]

Hmm, have you ever taken it apart?

 

[4GO57O]

off topic: I took it every now and then when it would pop and I would tighten the screws..

 

[Kemp_Drumsalot]

You actually have screws!!! Lucky haha, I can't adjust my store bought one, still waiting on my DIY

 

[4GO57O]

lol yeah ...

right now i'm using the fridrich method

(i do 2-look oll) without G perms

and get 28 for my record time

but now i'm gonna try the petrus method
