[@KostasGiotis]

You can do the second problem in only 6 moves instead of 8. You first do the blue (1 move), then do the green and orange to the correct sides (3 moves) which makes the red go up with only 2 more moves needed to solve it (one to align it and one 180º move to bring it down).

[@AnimilesYT]

I'm struggling a bit with practicing since I'm not sure how I should practice. I'm not at the point where I can visualise the whole cross, and I don't know what I should pay attention to to get to that point

[@LiorOpler]

Same for me its so hard

[@AnimilesYT]

@@LiorOpler In the last 2 days I've made my own method to practice this. I grab a pen and a piece of paper and then I write down the moves I have to do to make the cross without turning anything on the cube. If needed I make some notes where the pieces go, and I try to get as many pieces in place as possible. If I can't keep track of the pieces because I do too many moves then I'm not doing it efficiently enough. If I find a piece that is hard to put into place then I look for an easier piece and I see if I can use those moves to make the hard piece easier. I also avoid doing the easy pieces first since they can get in the way of the solve or I can make them solve themselves while solving another piece. Once I've figured out the moves I need to do to solve the cross then I do those moves without looking at the cube. Practicing the cross like this takes a long time. It can take well over a minute for me to solve the cross, but I hope I start to recognise patterns and I hope I'll eventually get faster at it. I can barely handle all 4 pieces this way, but I know how to solve the cube for like 5 years already (I haven't seriously practiced F2L before now though). So if this is still too hard for you then it may be better to focus on 2 or 3 pieces first. Like, try to figure out how to put 2 pieces in, and then without looking at the cube you put them in. And then you can figure out the other 2 pieces. If you've done that a few times you can try to do it with 3 pieces and then the last one. If you can do that regularly then you can try to do all 4. For me my next step is to try it without paper. I can already do the beginning without writing it down. When I can reliably do it without writing anything down then I'll start to time how long it takes. I hope you this technique works for you as well. If it doesn't then I hope it at least gave you an idea of how you can practice in a way that works for you :)

[@Kaervek87]

Honestly, my time improved immediately by spending longer figuring out my starting moves before starting. It might take me a minute or two, but I think teaching my brain to do this will help a lot. It’s the only time in the solve I get to plan ahead, so I may as well use it!

[@derpyoreo2611]

For scramble #2, you did (facing Red): R F L R D’ R’ D’ R2 (8 moves) I did (facing green): B’ L’ F’ R’ U L2 (6 moves)

[@dakeypunchar6930]

If I say truly his solution is better as there is a difference of 2 moves and you do a lot of Rs Fs and Ds so you can do his solution faster than yours and legit L' is so hard if you think it while doing something. and we often use our left hand to hold our cube.
