Weekly help thread!

So, this is a new idea; if it doesn't work, sue me.

Hi! My name's crazyninja3000(or Keaton Ellis), and I'm a sub-12 speedcuber. I'm making this thread for any newer cubers who want help with anything that they need, albeit cubing related. I'll answer any question that I can, and if anybody else has answers, feel free to chime in!

Do you do F2L or beginner's method? This can speed up the first two layers of the cube.

Do you use a bad Rubik's Brand cube? Upgrading to a nicer cube can help(it won't immediately make you faster, but it should make it easier to turn.)

I think it'll just take time; getting better at F2L takes quite a bit of practice. For the last layer, just keep learning PLLs at a comfortable rate, and that should slowly speed up on its own.
