sub 20, but lucky. pls help

[granite bison]

help i wanna be consistently sub 20

scramble

U2 B U R' B2 R2 B2 D' B U2 B2 L2 U' L2 F2 R2 F2 D' L2 D'

[brisk elk]

turn faster :V

you do slow turning but pause a lot

try to look ahead why doing f2l pairs

like don't look the pair you doing and look the next pair

can do x and x' move btw

and

not turn the cube so much

💀

[granite bison]

thnx bro

[brisk elk]

you can try to do the back pairs first, when finish 2 back pairs, turn y' and do the right pair just like the back pair then front pair

fast f2l require at least 1 rotation

my 200 solves on cubedesk :>, also sub 20( when practise slow turning)

If your aim is sub 15: full pll, 2 look oll, efficient cross and good f2l
sub 10: full cfop, no f2l rotation, efficient cross and fingertrick, better f2l

:v my aim is sub 15

[brisk elk]

good habit

[jagged sierra]

Do u have a recon ? That pll looked wonky

[granite bison]

yea, just gimme a sec

btw im already full oll

too early?

[brisk elk]

no

lookahead is for later

for sub 15

[granite bison]

is it too early for full oll tho

[brisk elk]

what average is it

what do you averge

[granite bison]

like sub 25, arround 23 to 24

[hot arch]

Yes, full OLL is not needed for sub20

[granite bison]

oh, well how can i be sub20

[brisk elk]

too early

[balmy raft]

@brisk elk has reached level 44. GG!

[brisk elk]

practice

do solves

and that's enough for now

[hot arch]

Wait a second I haven't analyzed the solve yet just saw a discussion about OLL and joined lol

[granite bison]

any specifications for what to practice tho

[granite bison]

ok ok

[brisk elk]

solves

f2l

cross

plan cross in inspectin

[granite bison]

ok thnx

[hot arch]

I think you scrambled a cube from a wrong orientation

[granite bison]

???

[hot arch]

Always scramble green front white top

[granite bison]

oh ok but what difference does it make tho

not tryna be mean or annything

[jagged sierra]

Yeah learn full oll later

Also use RUD v perm

Rotation sucks

[granite bison]

oh ok, can u send alg pls

[hot arch]

It confuses other people when they try your scramble, cause the cube looks differently and I need to check if I scrambled it correctly and then I realize you scrambled it with a different orientation and I have to find that orientation now

It's not a very bad mistake or anything

But you should follow the standard

[granite bison]

ok thnx

[granite bison]

sry if it confused u

[hot arch]

No problem

[jagged sierra]

Check out #6 in jperms best v perm vid….fingertricks r there too

[granite bison]

ok

[hot arch]

Ok so the first thingI notice is that your cross is inefficient. You tend to bring up the cross pieces from the middle layer to insert them into correct spots, while instead you should just misalign the cross, insert the piece with one move and realign. Also you clearly did not plan your whole cross which you should try to do as looking for cross pieces took you quite a long time resulting in an about 5 second cross while it should be about 2-3 seconds if you want to be sub20

For your first pair you did two rotations which you should never do (1 rotation per pair at most). Remember that if the top color of the edge of the pair you want to make matches the color of the front face or back face, you can always solve the case without rotations and with only RU or LU moves

[granite bison]

got it thnx

[hot arch]

Second and third pairs were good, but for the last pair you again did too many rotations. I know it is hard to recognize such a case from the back, but you should try to do that, as even is you pause for a longer time to recognize it, it would probably be faster than doing a double rotation

[granite bison]

true thnx bro

[hot arch]

So summarising to be sub20 you need to have better cross solutions, plan most of or all of your cross in inspection, and reduce the number of rotations in F2L

[jagged sierra]

Np

[brisk elk]

💀 thks for advise

[brisk elk]

can 1 have it?

show me pls

i use d' move to avoid rotation

is that good?

[jagged sierra]

^

[jagged sierra]

No rotations are better than d wide moves

Literally never do Dw imo

[granite bison]

btw @brisk elk whats ur avg

[brisk elk]

208 solves

[brisk elk]

i'm practising look ahead and going to learn full cfop and fast turning( no pause) in the summer

[hot arch]

Tip: don't learn full OLL until you're about sub15

I mean it wouldn't make you worse probably but it won't help you too much either at this level

[restive jolt]

can't like learn an alg a day. don't think that it would harm anything

[brisk elk]

cubehead: "full oll in a month"

[void pier]

yeah

thats easy

[brisk elk]

:

🙂

[brisk elk]

:v my friend do cross on U face, each f2l do a turn, 2 look oll, 2 look pll and get sub 18

avg

[hot arch]

Each F2L do a turn? What do you mean?

[void pier]

maybe rotate or smth

idk

[brisk elk]

rotation
