yush... nid make f2l faster... bad mephisto 1 is gud?

Most importantly, do your solve F2L intuitively or spam algorithms?

He's damn funny. I asked him if his cross plus last layer is 10secs and he said cross 10secs.

Then he say F2L 40secs

That's already 50secs without last layer. How can you solve last layer with 0 secs unless he's not at sub50

I think it's more of a misunderstanding rather than sarcasm

Experience, you do beginner's method OLL/PLL?Is your F2L done intuitively or spamming algorithms or both?

Well I hope it's the former.

3 look OLL PLL.

F2L intuitive. I only memorised one algorithm, and I always turn the wrong way That's why I prefer intuitive lol.

Added on April 4, 2010, 1:57 amWhat about you?

I might start memorising OLL and PLL if I can't get past sub50

I guess experience comes into hand here.Once your more familiar with setting up cases, you'll be spamming algos in no time.Heck, i only know one or two-the rest are intuitive

Yeah, one more thing i learned is reduce the number of cube rotations.Will help a lot in speedcubing

Yeah. But the ironic part is I perform better if I do cube rotations

By setting up cases you mean executing F2L algorithms to get the setup you want?

By setting up cases i mean setting up the pairs before insertion.This is where most cube rotations are done at iinm. Try set up the pairs at different angle and yes slotting at different angles as well.Will save a lot of time

Heck, i also do cube rotations a lot hence my slow times

Now trying to learn F2L algos and OLL/PLL cases

I see.

I somehow managed to minimize my cube rotation and insert slightly faster now. Metronome did helped a bit.

Guess I'm back to practice slow slotting till I can see everything haha. It works better for me that way.

Regardless, I hope I'll get over with my stucking cube. >.>

I suck at slotting on the left. Right no problem. Behind forget it.

I'll read up on PLL most likely. Soon. Not so soon maybe.

Nice Gonna practice my cube now

Now 2 of you are the most active ones in this thread, lol......

I'm learning the full OLL for now, progressing quite slow because of my heavy school work and my finals is coming soon......

By the way, does memorizing F2L algorithms help??? I mean, is it effective to cut down your F2L time???

Theoretically, memorizing algorithms will make your muscle work at a faster rate (muscle memory), so it should be faster.

But I don't know since I'm intuitive

But my intuitive also a lot on muscle memory. But still need to 'see' when I turn as sometimes I flip to the wrong side lol.

Hmm, sounds logical.....
Although I'm using intuitive F2L, but I've kinda created my own algorithms, so it's implemented to my muscles, lol......
I'm sure some of them are not minimal in moves, but at least I execute them smoothly....

So while I'm inserting a pair, I'm already looking for the next....

I'm still mastering my cross. I can't lookahead during the 15secs as I'll get lost.

I go impromptu and seems faster that way lol as I don't give a shit to shorter turns as long as I get the cross done.

Nice you create your own algos. I need to learn lookahead for F2L already, not that good in it.

Hmm, my skills on setting up the cross is still weak as well.....those strong cubers are able to plan the moves for the cross, and even the 1st pair if possible, during the 15sec inspection.....

And I just able to plan to set up 2 or 3 edge pieces of the cross during inspection, or set up whole thing if the cross was easy....

For easier look ahead for setting up pairs, most of the cubers will do the cross on the bottom face as well, so while setting up the cross, they can already looking for pair pieces on top angle.....
This is even tougher to do, lol.......

That's why I say screw it I'll pick it up over time

Why not we post our youtube channels here so that we can keep updated?

Mine is

Don't bother with that video.It's already old

I forgot my youtube dy.

Wait ah.

Damn long time the vid don't bother. It's too old

Will take my latest solving time with my cam soon. Don't expect sub40 though, unless it's a lucky solve XD

Subsribed!Subsribe me back!

Swt so fast Added.
