HiiEN Wrote:It gets to a point where the more algorithms you memorize, the better off you are since you get more options. F2L probably cuts your time the fastest since it solves both the top and middle at the same time, although that's probably the most difficult for the average person attempting to solve since it involves the most memorization in steps and possible permutations.
Actually, you can do the first two layer pretty fast by just memorizing 4 F2L algorithms. (I'm at the 30-second barrier at the moment)
If anyone wants to speedcube, I recommend this order of memorizing (after you know what CFOP is of course):
- 4 F2L algorithms, the ones that let you put both the pieces in with the bottom edge orientated wrong
- 7 OLL algorithms, the corner ones (the one where all edges are correct).
- All PLL algorithms, trust me, this helps a lot (not that I got them all, I'm lazy
)- The rest of OLL (hell!)
- The rest of F2L (hell!)
After you solve the rubik cube using CFOP, it's not hard to move on to the Rubik's Revenger, Professor's Cube or even the Megaminx.
