The fasted way to do F2L is by using part of Fridrich's method. The best tutorial for this I know of is here: Badmephisto's Cubing Site: F2L
With the above method, instead of putting in the top corners then the edges, you're putting both in at once. Please note that this is a much more advanced way of doing it, if you're only a beginner with the 3x3x3 Rubik's Cube, check out the official Rubik's Cube website: Rubik's Official Website.
In case you didn't know, F2L stand for First 2 Layers.

When speed cubing what is the best method?
Its all personal preferance. I use f2l and 2 look oll and pll
How do you solve a rubik's cube using the friedrich's method?
1) Solve a cross on one side (for example White side) 2) Build F2L (First 2 Layers) pairs (2 x 1 x 1 blocks) 3) Insert pairs into respective slots to complete the F2L 4) OLL (Orienting the Last Layer) 5) PLL (Permuting the Last Layer)

How do you solve the yj fluctuation puzzle cube from japan?
Structurally, it's exactly the same as a 3x3. It caught me off guard at first because there are 7 face slices instead of 9, but it has the same number of "cubies", if you could call them that. Once you get your mind wrapped around which pieces are which in relation to a 3x3, start solving it exactly the same way, cross, corners, f2l, etc. When you get to the F2L, you first have to make sure the corners are in the right rotation before you start solving the f2l (this part is a bit tricky) when you get to the last layer, it starts to get real hairy. To be able to tell if a piece is "facing up" or not, you have to rotate the top face and check each piece against the f2l. if the piece matches up, it is facing up. once you solve the top layer, you shouldn't have any problems if you did the rest of it right. once you get to PLL, two centers might get messed up on the last algorithm. I ran into this on my first solve. I got the cube like 2-3 days ago and have only solved it twice because the centers are always in the wrong rotation. solving a 3x3 with pictures on it helps to grasp this concept. in short, it's pretty much a 3x3, but it's a real pain to wrap your mind around, and then get the centers right. I almost threw it out the window a couple times.
What does pll skip mean with rubik's cube?
The term PLL is part of a method called "Fridrich" which is used for speed solving the rubik's cube. The method consists of 4 stages: -cross (making a cross in any side of the cube) -F2L (First 2 Layers) -OLL(Orientation of the Last Layer) -PLL (Permutation of the Last Layer) When you have a PLL skip it means that after you finish the OLL the cube is solved.
How solve a Rubik's Cube faster?
Assuming that you know the beginner method, you may want to use a faster method. There are lots of methods (e.g. Roux, ZZ, Petrus, Waterman, etc.) but the most common one to use is CFOP (Cross, F2L, OLL, PLL), also called Fridrich (method was invented by Jessica Fridrich). 7 part video series for CFOP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EYPXTetHX4 (courtesy of Chris Bird, I did not create this video)
How do you solve a Rubik's Cube faster?
Here's one method that may impress some of your friends who can't figure it out: get a cube that is already solved. Videotape yourself quickly and frantically unsolving it. Go as long as you like. Then figure out how to play the video backwards. Be sure you don't do anything while taping that will make your trick obvious, like someone casually walking bakwards through the frame, or "pouring" a liquid from a glass back into the bottle. OK, people will catch on, but some may take a little extra time.
How do you solve the rubics cube?
There are many different methods for solving a Rubik's Cube, the most popular one is called the Jessica Fridrich method. Solving a Rubik's Cube is not actually that difficult, it just takes some effort and patience at first--but after you learn it is actually quite easy. Don't give up, nearly anyone can get it if they put forth the effort. View the sources and related links (below) to learn how to solve a rubiks cube. Remember it takes time and practice.
How fast can you do the 4x4 rubics cube?
Everyone please post their average time of doing it at least doing it a few times Put how fast you did it each time(or just give us the average) Then tell us how many times you did it DdKiller My average is about 45 seconds =( I'm slow compared to my friends. They're averages are about 30 seconds. My best is 1.17 but most of my friends are at about 50 seconds.
How can you solve a Rubik's Cube faster?
You lubricate it with a silicon spray that you can buy at a hardware store or auto shop.Do not use petrolium product because they will just eat the cube.Another thing to consider is get a differt type of rubiks cube which you can buy at cube4you.com.
How do you solve your 3x3 Rubik cube?
There are two main ways that I know of: the by layers way and the recursive way. To get the actual algorithms for the by layers way go to: http://www.ws.binghamton.edu/fridrich/Mike/middle.html", although I would recommend actually trying to solve it yourself for a month first so you don't spoil it for yourself. The one main thing newcomers get stuck on is the logic: solve one side, solve another side, solve another side...sigh; this does not work. Watch this video part1 and 2 and you should learn : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsQIoPyfQzM
How do you solve a rubix cube?
You have to keep turning all the sides randomly and rapidly until you get it or get close One thing that helps people that don't know how to do algorithms, you can go by the center square for each side. If you look at it, the centers are all different colors, for example, if the center square is blue, then that side is supposed to be blue.
