Whats crackin my fellow cubers

[KarateCuber]

I'm shon. I would say Ive been cubing since september but I dont remember. My average on the 3x3 is 53 seconds. 2x2 is 10 seconds. ( don't really mess with those). 5x5 is 7 minutes ( just started Christmas). I teach karate and bowling is a big part of my life. I love cubing and I intend on making it my favorite hobby.

I only use the beginners method because I'm not really good at solving F2L. I try but i seem to find it hard. My quickest 3x3 solve was 27 secs ( lucky because I accidentally did the freidrich method I guess and it skipped straight to PLL ). I need help on f2l.

Well, you will be quite welcome here. May I ask what 3x3 method you use?

 

[KarateCuber]

Beginners

 

[EricReese]

Wtf? You can solve 2x2 in 10 seconds but your 3x3 is 53 seconds, yet you claim to not practice 2x2? Thats faster then me man....I'm not sure if I believe you. I'll give the benefit of the doubt....

 

[KarateCuber]

I practiced solving 2x2 style on 3x3 by just solving the corners. It's quite simple. My main focus is the larger cubes. I really want a 6x6 and 7x7 but it will be awhile before I get those.

 

[RyanReese09]

10 seconds is extremely easy to get on 2x2x2 Eric, I see no reason to doubt him.

for f2l just practice, i use it with the beginner's method and i can get sub 40's, eventually it will become automatic to use f2l once you get it down

I just did f2l but it's always the last edge where I get stuck. And it ticks me off.

 

[Erzz]

What do you mean, the last edge? F2L is all about pairs

 

[RyanReese09]

He uses LBL beginners method.
F2L means first two layers, not completing them together.

 

[Erzz]

Yeah but he said "I just did F2L....."

EDIT: Didn't see the bottom half. I always assumed F2L meant at the same time.

 

[KarateCuber]

Pairs. Sorry.

 

[freshcuber]

If you need some help with F2L I heard good things about Rido's tutorial and I learned from badmephisto on YouTube. You may want to watch it more than once to get the hang of it.

Just a quick question to the OP.

I take German and shon means pretty in German but it's pronounce shern. Is your name similar to Shawn?

 

[Tyjet66]

fresh, you are forgetting the umlaut over the "o" (the two dots.)

 

[KarateCuber]

I tried to learn from memyselfandpi.

Yea I know but I'm on my iPod and I didn't feel like punching " umlaut o" into google and then copying and pasting it here.

 

[KarateCuber]

No it's not freshcuber. I'm welsh-irish and Potawatomi indian
