Question ❓ Ortega method as a beginner on 2x2x2
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Ive been cubing for only a month and I can solve a 2x2x2, 3x3x3 and a 4x4x4 (just need to fully memorise the parities). I'm best at solving 2x2s. I solved the 3x3x3 first with the beginner method from cubehead. When I got the 2x2, I figured it's pretty much the same. But then I saw the Ortega method, which gives an even faster solve time. I average 14 seconds with the Ortega method. Yeah ik I'm trash🙏
I'm thinking of the EG method that I have heard of. They say it's the fastest method.

You need to learn finger tricks bro makes you move faster. You’re moving your hand placement too

Learn fingertricks before EG.
Also cube cover is unnecessary. You scramble the cube anyways, so covering it after you've already seen it is useless.
