It’s debatable. You may think so, I know people who think otherwise. ---

Haven’t learned any new PLLs in a while. Focusing on speeding up my F2L and minimising cube rotations since thats the part that takes the longest. Down to about a 35 second average or so. 🙂 ---

Work on one new thing every time u plateau. Have OLLs or plls memorized yet? Do u have really good f2l yet? Few cube rotations? Transitioning from cross to f2l is fast? ---

That’s all subjective. I can sub 12 with 4LLL, you definitely don’t need full anything for sub 30. Gambit, focus on making your cross in under 8 moves, and be sure you can do it blindfolded. Also make sure you can do f2l cases blind. Once you can, your solving will be much more fluid. ---

I am almost done pll, I know about 5 olls apart from 2 look.my f2l isn’t too bad, not to good, around 17 -20 seconds for cross to the end of f2l, but I make way to many cube rotations. ---
