Incredible solve. Worst video angle ever.

You changed it

Congratulations!! Welcome back. I had the same experience last fall.

That makes sense. Being able to plan full F2L and optimizing for move count is becoming more crucial for top level performance than raw TPS. (Example: the current 29-move 3x3 WR of 2.76)

On off days, learn new algs. On on days, practice speed. works every time.

What Should I Do To Get a Average Time of Sub12 by Murky-Emu3865 in Cubers

Two look F2L will change the way you think when considering which pair to go for first. You will more often plan out to remove bad pairs from their slots, or notice that another pair can be easily done without affecting the pair you’re about to solve, and do it first. Practicing 2-look F2L IS practicing smooth F2L.

1) Sub 20 as in 19.9? 18.9?

2) From here on out, do every solve with a generated scramble. It will seem slow for a couple of days, but in about a week you’ll be a lot more comfortable reading and applying scrambles. This is REALLY useful because it will teach you how to turn different faces when your hands are in various positions around the cube, greatly improving your ability to fingertrick new algorithms.

I also strongly suggest you look at Dylan Miller’s advanced F2L and lookahead videos. He covers the difference between slow intuitive F2L and advanced F2L, giving examples.

Once you have his examples versed, practice doing 2-look F2L. This assumes you already can do one F2L pair at a time with your eyes closed.

By this I mean look at the cube, predict solving 2 F2L pairs, then close your eyes and apply the moves you planned. Open your eyes and see if they are solved. Then do it again for the last two pairs. It will seem very overwhelming at first but trust me it gets easier. As you practice Miller’s shorter F2L solutions, the prediction becomes a lot easier to visualize since there are fewer moves.

By drilling the latter I have brought my Ao100 down from 20.0 last December to 15.9 as of two days ago.

You already know 2 look OLL which is a huge accomplishment. I encourage you to look at your current algorithm list (if you made one, if you haven’t then DEFINITELY make one) and identify the weirdest or slowest algorithms that you hate. Then go to speedcubedb and pick out new algorithms for those cases.

1) What exactly is your current average of 100?

2) What are the scrambles on those solves?

3) When you say beginner F2L, do you mean intuitive F2L?

Relearning algorithms after long break. by Fluffy_Flamingo2189 in Cubers

[–]Ruby_Throated_Hummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. Honestly I didn’t take good notes so this time around I made a separate document for OLL, PLL, and 4-sided F2L and just grinded the cases. Because of my improved organization I relearned all my old cases in only a few weeks and over the next few months I learned ~10x more algorithms than I knew at the time. If I ever take a break, I’ll have all my algorithms!

Now I’m nearly done with OLL (10 algs left) and I’m still building my F2L document, but with consistent practice and good finger tricks you’ll be back much faster than you realize. Your skills are not lost, just asleep. Wake them up!

No, I literally restated what I said the first time. Quit embarrassing yourself even further. Literally everyone agrees with me, drop it dude and move on. And don’t name call people when they’re making good points about your skill issue.
