Can yall tell me bad things i did in my solves and tips to get faster?

[sage stone]

Scdamble is
R B2 D U2 L2 U' B2 D2 B2 R2 F2 B' D2 U R2 B L R' U

[unreal grail]

1st of all is that an avg solve for you or not?

and also i think you scrambled wrong

[sage stone]

Yes avg

[unreal grail]

ok

and try to do the scramble again i think you scrambled wrong

[sage stone]

O i scrambled weonf?

[unreal grail]

maybe

[sage stone]

Alr hollon

I did the scramble corrwcr

Same as green face

[unreal grail]

yeah now its correct

you did smthing wrong in the vid

also how long have you been cubing?

[sage stone]

About 1 month

[sage stone]

its the same as the Vid look at the green face

[unreal grail]

wtf i wasnt even sub 1 min in 1 year

you are so good then

[sage stone]

I was sub 1min in my 1st day

[unreal grail]

holy shit

[sage stone]

Since i had some experience as a kid but i gave up when i was learning second lauyer

[unreal grail]

oh ok thats why

[sage stone]

I only relearned it now

[unreal grail]

firstly try to plan the cross in inspection obv you cant do it 1st try but give it a go

[sage stone]

I always do that

[unreal grail]

start by planning 2 edges then 3 then 4

[sage stone]

I only plan 2 edges if its hard but i mostly plan all 4

[unreal grail]

i meant also solving it blindfolded cuz seems like you plan some pieces but you still rely on watching the peices moving try to do it without watching

it will improve your cross so much

[sage stone]

Ohhh like that

Yeah i do that

I just have low tps and i forget my solurtion most of the time

[sage stone]

ill try practicing cross lIke that

Ty

[unreal grail]

yeah thats what i meant

also i saw you do a bit of filler moves and do crazily long solutions

[sage stone]

Yyp

[unreal grail]

at first it can feel normal but it will become a bad habit later on

i would say watch jperm or cbhd f2l video

best vids for f2l

[sage stone]

Obb yeahh i didnt realize i did filler moves just realized when i watched it

[unreal grail]

yeah recording yourself is also very good

[sage stone]

Yep i watch jperm mosty for f2l since hes more on the intuitve side

[umbral nest]

bad habits?
regripping for every wrist move
bad F2L solutions (least offensive thing on the list)
bad execution on the last layer algs
positioning the PLL to the auf skip orientation before doing the PLL alg, despite being in the perfect position to do your alg before turning it

and planning cross, but that was already talked about

fixes?
learn better fingertricks (will help with the wrist turn and last layer execution points)
try to overwrite your subconscious programming to match PLL's to their auf skip orientations (kinda just gotta drill that one out)

also that U perm was atrocious, did you learn how to solve from theCubicle, by any chance?

[sage stone]

What is auf?

[sage stone]

Na i discovered the u perm myself

[umbral nest]

moving after/before an alg to set it up/skip moving after it

you did it for U perm in the video

[sage stone]

Yep i tilt the cube to check what pll case i have and i end up putting it to the right clor scheme which has become muscle memory for me

Ohh

Ye it kinda becmae muscle memorh for me

[umbral nest]

you matched the bar to its center beforehand, when it would've just been faster to do the U perm alg from the angle you got it from, then move the top layer afterwards

as stated, that's smth you kinda just gotta drill out

[sage stone]

Bc when i tryna find whaf case i have

Imy muscle memory kicks in and it turns the u layer

[umbral nest]

you tilted to see, then saw, then pre-moved anyway

[sage stone]

Correcting it to its scheme

[sage stone]

Yepp

[umbral nest]

just gotta drill out the pre move, it's losing time especially since you did U and then rotated

in this example

[sage stone]

Yep i do that in practice solves

But sometimes when im in a rush i subconsciously do U move and rotate

[umbral nest]

which is fair

[sage stone]

Its been a bad habit ever since i started using pll

Eve tho i know i dont need ro correvt the color

[umbral nest]

however, you have little to no pressure at home

your times will come down naturally if you learn to calm your nerves

[sage stone]

Yes

Ty

[umbral nest]

and make sure to learn better fingertricks, that'll also help in the long-term

you regripped twice for that U perm when you really didn't need to

[sage stone]

When inserting?

[umbral nest]

in general, but the U perm is the easiest thing to catch

you keep regripping for R/L' moves

in cases where you don't need to

[sage stone]

Ohh

Ty bro

[umbral nest]

again, that is muscle memory you'll need to learn new stuff over

you got it tho

[sage stone]

Do u think i csn be sub 20 in 2 motnhs

[umbral nest]

if you set your mind to it, yes

[sage stone]

Alr ty

[umbral nest]

If not, it’ll come eventually

[still flax]

At 1 year i was at like sub 20

[unreal grail]

whats ur avg rn?

[still flax]

22 or smth

I took a break so

I got worse

[keen trail]

Hi you f2l

So bad

Don’t reg rip that much

This an average solve for you

?

[sage stone]

Yes

[sage stone]

I know

[keen trail]

Try to get better look ahead and intuitive f2L J perm has excellent videos on both topics

And to lessen your rotation look at cube heads 6 F2L tricks video

And learn how to solve f2l pairs in the back look at cube heads f2l master class

You get low 20s with practice and doing this
