good ish, i'll never be able to do it that fast until i switch methods. my best is still around 45-60 seconds (never timed) cause i can't visualize the cube, and cause i waste moves doing top bottom middle | ||

At the moment, I'm teaching myself the Heise method. You're using Friedrich, right? | ||

I'm trying to learn F2L Permute corners permute edges, I'm doing 35 seconds at best. I haven't fully memorized it so hopefully I get faster once I know all the moves. | ||

I was using F2L, which is Friedrich. And yeah, normally you can tell when youre gonna finish a cube, but this one finished just after I did OLL (orientation of Last Layer). Normally you have to do a PLL after that (permutation of last layer), but this time I got lucky so I didn't expect it XD Also, I don't know who has the current world record, I think it's some french dude. But one of the guys who taught the class was #1 in one handed solves for quite a while. I myself can't really do it one handed in less than a minute. It's pretty hard >< | ||

Hit the timer fast!" Maybe I should learn Friedrich. It seems easier to memorize than what I'm currently using. | ||

i noticed you did your cross slow yet still had a big delay to first c-e pair - do cross slower so you can lookahead to the pair better well i'm not really in a position to tell you anything you don't already know as i used to avg 30sec, but my excuse is that i used 4lll (edit: b/c i was too lazy to learn more than the minimum 3 algs to solve a cube with fridrich) so the only reason i could get that low is because of a fluid f2l i got bored of speedcubing though i learned blindfold cubing (best was a bit under 3minutes, 50sec+120sec memorization and execution respectively..nowhere near the suggested 50-50 split lols) which i also got bored of still fun to watch videos of others though <3 have a visit at speedsolving.com if you haven't already | ||

Trying to find a way to solve it Anyone recommend me a site/video that has the easiest way without any complicated notations to solve. I just want to know how to solve it even if it takes like 5 minutes or more. | ||

Basically he said 'just learn the damn fastest algs if you wanna be fast.' So I have been learning. I'm sub-35 average now with all 21 PLL moves, and my fastest time (no skips) is about 24 seconds but I need to learn the rest of the OLL and get a faster F2L before I'm actually going to be any good. For all you people looking to get into speedcubing, or to just solve one for the first time, try one of Thrawst's videos YouTube. They're pretty good. And if you're using a rly old cube, stop. Newer store-bought cubes aren't half bad, and with a little work they can be quick enough to do most of the advanced finger-tricks to accelerate your turns and such. | ||
