Here we present some ideas as to how to break 15 seconds consistently with the Fridrich method.
Using the Fridrich Method
Reaching 15-second averages may be obtained via the following tips -- to be performed in chronological order.
- Beginner's Method
- First learn how to solve the Rubik's cube using a tutorial, such as one in the Beginner's Methods section.
- Tip: Solve with your cross on the bottom! It will help you out later.
- Learn how to lubricate your cube.
- Use a timer, such as an online timer or a PC timer to see your progression.
- First learn how to solve the Rubik's cube using a tutorial, such as one in the Beginner's Methods section.
- Learn 2-look OLL algorithms.
- Learn 2-look PLL algorithms.
- Learn to do the First Two Layers (F2L) efficiently.
- Use a tutorial, such as Badmephisto's YouTube Tutorial on F2L.
- Your times will temporarily get worse, but after a few weeks of practicing, they will rapidly become better.
- Practice F2L -- practice a lot. There is no way around F2L, and you will have to master it to get very fast.
- Learn full (1-look) PLL.
- 21 algorithms to learn.
- At this point, consider buying a DIY Cube. Assuming look-ahead is good, focusing on speed might be important now.
- Learn full (1-look) OLL.
- 57 algorithms. Don't learn them too quickly, otherwise recognition will be impeded upon. But don't learn them too slowly; try to learn consistently. Steady, slow or fast, will always win the race.
- Look into advanced F2L techniques, such as the extended cross (also known as X-cross), or other extensions to the Fridrich Method, such as COLL for suitable LL cases..
