I dont average 12, i average 13- 14 sec but the solution is actually how i normally do in a solve

#

B' R2 B2 U' F U R2 D L' D2 F' L2 U2 D2 F R2 B' U2 B R2 B2

x2 // inspection

R2 D F' R2 D' // cross

U2 R U R' y U' R' U' R // OG

U' L U2 L' y' U L' U' L //OB

U' R' U R // RG

R U R' y' U R' U' R // BR

U F R' F' R U R U' R' // OLL

U' R' U R' U' R D' R' D R' U D' R2 U' R2' D R2 // PLL

U // AUF

#

59 moves ÷ 12.10 = 4.87 tps

I’ll have a look

#

B' R2 B2 U' F U R2 D L' D2 F' L2 U2 D2 F R2 B' U2 B R2 B2

Oh wait

#

I forgor to put scrsmble

#

Im so dumb

inner sigil
#

All good

cross solution seems fine
for first pair you could have done
U R f' L' f R' for go pair or R' F U2 R F' for gr
for second pair just rotate first then do bo rather than rotate in the middle
for last pair dont bother rotating just do
R U R' U F' U' F or U' R U R' F R' F' R

obsidian mortar
#

Ohh

#

So for last pair it was better doing F moves

#

Oh wsit

#

Wow

#

Ty for new solutions

#

I will apply them in my solves

Ok so first thing I noticed is that you turn quite slow for cross and first pair, this is probably because you’re looking ahead to first pair but there is still a big pause in between, so definitely start practicing c+1 around now, it’ll definitely help with transitioning from cross to f2l and allow you to turn faster during cross.
To add on to planning first pair, you could’ve changed your cross slightly to not need to rotate for your first pair, rather than R2 D F’ R2 D’ you can do R2 D R2 F’ D’ and now GR is rotation less (btw this actually also makes f2l rotation less so objectively better cross imo).
Next, I highly suggest you to not look at the B face during f2l, this can develop into bad habits and make your lookahead worse. Most of the solutions are fine but for the last case you could do U’ R U R’ U’ F’ U F to solve EO, it’s pretty intuitive, you just have to put the bad edge inside and slot and EO is solved.
OLL and PLL seem fine, but again, you shouldn’t look at the B face for recognition, which I saw you do in OLL recognition

i had similar thoughts

inner sigil

#

Oh ok

lucid gyro
inner sigil
#

No point in turning slow for cross if you’re going to pause

obsidian mortar
#

Idk why i turned slow in cross

#

I normally turn rlly fast on cross

obsidian mortar
lucid gyro
#

there are definitely clear pauses in that solve

obsidian mortar
#

Yep

#

I should start looking next pairs

#

But i always forgor

#

Aside from looking at the back?

#

first pair

#

you seemed unsure

obsidian mortar
#

I have a serious problem with tunnel vision

inner sigil
#

I can see that yea

obsidian mortar
#

But the solution were gud?

inner sigil
#

I wouldn’t say good, but it’s acceptable

obsidian mortar
#

Oke

#

What should i focud more

#

In look ahead, f2l solution?

inner sigil
obsidian mortar
#

To improve

inner sigil
#

I mean I would say lookahead yea

#

Yea

obsidian mortar
#

Sub 15 is time for influencing pairs?

inner sigil
#

I wouldn’t say influencing pairs in f2l

obsidian mortar
#

Planning c+1 is on sub 12

inner sigil
#

But for cross yea

obsidian mortar
#

How i can do dat

inner sigil
obsidian mortar
#

That counts as planning pair in inspection

#

Planning pair is not on sub 12?

#

Or sub 15?

#

@inner sigil

#

Oh well

#

Thx for tips ^^

obsidian mortar
#

oh wait

#

now i understand

warm kestrel
#

I hear among us sus

#

Another tip is to get more comfortable with f2l and then aim for higher tps after that

If you could plan your first pair in inspection then you're sub twelve already.
Also drill all you f2l algs, you should still turn fast during f2l especially on last slot.
You could also learn COLL recognition so you you get less V, Y, E and N perms.

obsidian mortar
#

Ik COLL recognition but i only use it to know what CP im gonna have in PLL

#

I learned it from 2x2

obsidian mortar
#

Ik the concept but idk how to drill algs

bold kindle
#

You could time them. Create a spreadsheet with all your PLLS, and record how fast you can do them. Then try to set new PBs.
If you wanna train recognition you can use alg trainers like I think jperm.net, speedcubedb, you could also find apps that do that as well. I use 'cfop trainer', I don't if it's available on iOS though.I use the app to time my f2l algs.
You should at least be able to do all your f2l cases sub-1 outside of a solve. Most f2l algs are 7-8 moves so sub-1 second is actually a pretty low standard.

Do you need clarification on anything?

obsidian mortar
#

Oh oke

#

I guess i need to drill my algs lol

#

Most of my algs i do them in 1 sec

#

Or 1.5

It's not necessary, I was sub 12 without it.
But it definitely helps. It'll also make your solves more consistent.
It's just like how there are people who are sub 10 with 2 look OLL..
You can so it but that would just be limiting yourself

obsidian mortar
#

But do u reccomend doing it?

#

Yeah, you should definitely learn it.
Your solves will get more consistent overall.

Ok

Timer stop looked funky

I think look ahead can help for f2l
