F2L Tips and Tricks

[Toastuhh]

what if its the opposite, and you have an edge piece placed correctly but the correct corner is on the top layer?

[dikkenicky]

@Toastuhh if the white side of the corner is facing up do (R U R' U') 3 times; if its white side is facing right, hold the cube so the white sticker is facing you and do (U L' U L U2 L' U L); for the case when the white is facing left, hold the cube so the white sticker is facing you again and perform the inversed algorithm (U' R U' R' U2 R U' R'). You're welcome

[blawlzorz105]

wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut i got 10.27 using ur f2l lololololololololol

[D4rkFang]

hey I'm having trouble with my f2l and cross.. f2l is just taking to long, if I don't lookahead I get between 9-13 seconds (not including cross), if I lookahead I get between 18-27 seconds, any idea why?

[808darkhands]

lol I like how you say : " blindfolded without looking " xD

[KarlosStudios]

hey how many time do you have speedcubing?

I got like 6 months speedcubing and I use Fridrich and I'm still at 0.54 average

I'm 12 :P

[jurypresident]

quick question, at what age did you start?

[xXJAKE373Xx]

are u asian

[xXJAKE373Xx]

wtf is this shit i typed in im bored and this shit came up if this is some type of cult i gotta say people keep getin gayer and gayer and wtf are u people tlkin bout like what cube is that n shit

[xXJAKE373Xx]

wtf is this shit i typed in im bored and this shit came up if this is some type of cult i gotta say people keep getin gayer and gayer

[NicoleandApryl000]

PLEASE tell me when you scrambled it you sped up the video..

[nezpez5]

what cube is that?

[JayProspero]

Damn girl you lost me at 0:19, you sure you weren't made by Cyberdyne? lol

[Jaeronimo]

Thanks it helped a lot! Keyholing rules!

[Hjf625]

what cube is this? sounds great.

[jjjkkk57]

i dont even have a rubix cube lol

[LilDreadlox]

who checked to see whotalked to them on msn at 7:00

[PrestonProductions1]

wat cube is this?

[skatemaster78]

Thanks desie, this helped.

[thaydiabolo]

To faster !

[Dimegg]

picked up some things =) video is ok, but some more structure would be nice. you might want to look at badmephisto he's a bit more relaxt I think..

thx anyway

[miarockz9627]

Can u show us a tutorial to solve a rubix cube?.......cuz i can not solve a rubix cube even if my life depended on it...

[AsbjornOlling]

What cube is that?

[rubik4ever09]

i stopped watching at 0:07 when i heard your voice

[Toy8ox]

I use the Lars method. I can solve F2L in 20 seconds. It looks like you are using Fridrick which ends up looking very similar although, all my edges are oriented when I reach the top layer.

[Djsora555]

You are a good YouTube. Don't listen to the other people i like this :D

[speedcuber10]

where did u learn ur pll and oll send me the link

[lcdrdata]

algorithm at 3:15 U,R,U',R',U',R,U',R',U,R,U',R'

[DokoDoggy]

cross takes me like 3 secs f2l takes me like 15 secs oll takes me 5 seconds and pll is 5 so i get average of like 30 :(

[thaydiabolo]

i really need this video! i don't know F2L just OLL and PLL

[RedRoost80]

holy crap you can scramble the cube fast XD!

[haha045]

Could you list the algorithms you used for non-intuitive f2l ;)

[SNFYO]

your a nerd

[magicprump]

@SNFYO your a douchebag

if you got a problem with her being better than you then why are you watching her??? LOL

[Desie37]

@SNFYO why would you ask that..?

[mesaskater424]

@SNFYO ASSHOLE

[manandblack2]

Far no wonder why your soo pro.

[123dugie321]

you are such a nerd

[Desie37]

ikr??

[awsomesouce]

@Desie37 But nerds are ahmazing =]

[superdiovis]

@123dugie321 you are such a troll

[Toastuhh]

@123dugie321 were all nerds here.

[parlhem1]

You guys that don't get it, sorry but then you have to practice more, cause you ain't good enough. :(

[xxoxia]

Everyone leaving comments on this page needs to go back to school and learn how to spell and use punctuation. Once they do, then they should come back and show off their new talents!

[MrFamilyguy4ever]

if u may plzzzzzzzz answer me and tell me what to do my F2l used to be 10-15 secs now its 25-40... i stopped for 2 months speedcubing on a 3x3 so now my F2l is ruining my times i sped up OLL and PLL but my F2l ruins everything plz tell me what to do

[ButlerSONG]

actually this didn't helped me at all

[Desie37]

sorry :S

[pedrohw12]

@Desie37 how can i practice lookahead ?

[cain0022]

no problem on inserting f2l pairs in a different way but i really need help on looking for another f2l pair while solving another f2l pair

[twistnturn44]

Go slower

[flash7g]

i'm trying to learn to solve my cross blindfolded. Anymore tips on that? Thanks desie!

[edpalabra]

Look head and memorize the steps you need to do to get the cross.

[flash7g]

well duh...

[Desie37]

uhm, practice! lol

sooner or later you'll start to get the hang of it

[flash7g]

lol, thanks, I've been trying to just go through it really slow when I'm doing a solve and that seems to help. I've been able to knock my times down to the low 30's

[RJA10001]

I heard you msn ding and thought ahh is someone talking to me. but I'm logged out

[ozwiess]

you can do that more sloo??? i can see the algoretms .....

[coolfrog23]

what you know, i had allot of "aha" moments lol

[acanofpaint]

i've been using the beginner's method for so long now..my best with it is 38.64 seconds..i have to start learning F2L to go faster..i think i'm stuck in the 40's with beginner's method lol

[RJA10001]

me too but my best is 45 seconds

[slikkyboy]

that M2 U2 M2 alg at the beginning was pretty quick...did you use your ring and middle finger or the middle finger on both hands?

[KnowledgeReference]

@slikkyboy I think it is easier to use your rign finger on left hand, and middle finger on right hand, probably because I'm left handed. You could also try slice moves. They seem very quick. Something like:

l' and then to L and M at the same time.

[MrErikcool]

NICE SCRAMBLE LOL! it did look cool doe you fast blablabla...

[Avril4eva101]

i ust bought a rubiks coue i think its  the same nt sure =s

[Itouchreveiwer96]

Thanks I'm using intuitive F2L 2-look OLL and 2-look PLL I hope to get faster. Oh and a quick update I now average 1.15 my and PB is 56 sec

[Itouchreveiwer96]

My F2L is really bad I average 1:32 do you think with practice it will get better ?

[saadhamza1]

i started practicing f2l about a month ago. ive gotten faster since then, so yes practise will make you faster.

[coolfrog23]

yea!

[otaviocappellaro]

@Itouchreveiwer96 Off course man! the big tip on this is lookahead and practice a lot!

[wowzers66613]

@Itouchreveiwer96 you should have its been a year

[PlayerID12345]

@Itouchreveiwer96 lol If your hands is fast i think me doing that "layer by layer" method is faster :V

[fuzzynutt02]

your awnsome

[MrRubikus]

respect

[Greeneyeskater93]

i use keyhole

would it be better if i learned f2l intuitive?

when i try it takes me forever to finish f2l

[TheAir084]

U ROCK! Awesome! 5/5

[B6R1A9D]

awesome vid. im pretty decent at my f2l im just looking for tips on getting faster and i personally believe this is one of the best f2l vids ive watched. ive learned a lot from this video and badmephisto's videos. desie and badmephisto f2l vids ftw!

[Arycke]

The only alg I use for F2L is the (R U R' U')x3 :) Great video also! :P

[guyxtc101]

hey Desie the bad case at 7:30 is actually an awesome case you did the two in around 15-17 turns i can do both at 11 turns doing either one first, R U R' U' then with thumb on top r' U' l' U l U r (that alg can be done fast) or you can do the alg first and your left with a pair insert :p

[homeslicesam]

How should i memorize them?

[homeslicesam]

Thanks!

[Genie1048]

another awesome video by the awesome desie :D

[goshypimple13]

more average of 12's

[idpapro]

what kinda cube is that?

[Desie37]

its a type c

[monetlynnstevens]

DAMMMMN YOUR HECKKA FAST!!

[tfkscores]

could you make a bld solve tips and tricks video? like memo and stuff.

[Desie37]

i suck at bld

[tfkscores]

me to lol. any tips on the memo of corners though?

[homeslicesam]

Great video(im suscribing) I have a question for you though... Im trying to learn fridrich because i can solve with beginners method in like 1:05-1:10 with a storebought non lubed so i was just wondering How long it took you to memorise all 57 OLL cases

[Desie37]

a while. take your time though, if you overload with new algs you will forget them right away cause of the recognition

[Catlicker101]

5/5 Good Job. Your a great teacher! I understood what you said and followed u easily. For other parts, like you said, i can simply play it again. (just need a new computer to kill the video lag)..lol Keep em coming.

[OSrubiks]

i agree

[Yalower]

For the case at 5:00 you can do F U r U' r' F':)

[highlycomplex]

lol at 4:17 it looks like a MAGICAL TRANSITION

[Desie37]

HAHAHA your right lol

[tannorn]

very nice video desie. its too late for me to do intuitive sinc ei already know the algorithms, but nice vid

[rubixfan]

thanks, it really helped a lot.

[ritruo]

I have one word.

Genius

xD

thanks this really helped a lot :]

[LtUnreal]

at 6:00 you rotated the cube when you didn't need to.

[andyhthedrummer]

you can do m u2 m' for the opposite cross switch its faster slightly

[AyzhunPersuasion]

what camera do you use?

[RubiksCuberMan]

NICE TIPS!

[TeddlesChannel]

could you make these kinds of videos for OLL and PLL?

[assblaster217]

plz dont thumb me down and im not trying to be mean but this didn't help me. sorry. :\ plz dont reply either. :\

[OutsideRandomness]

WOW, SWEET TIPS AND TRICKS!

[niklausio422]

good tutorial. i need to make mine soon:P i use keyhole method, and don't you know the algs where there's an edge solved and there's a corner not solved either in the D or U layer(s)?

[Desie37]

????

[niklausio422]

an edge in the second layer solved with the colors, and its corner is not with it, and you use an algorithm to solve it

[andyhthedrummer]

thewestonian has a video with those things he has a video for intuitive f2l with algs you should know

[bassboy219]

i use intuitive f2l, soooo much easier

[poptheman1]

same here

[Daftpunkfan123]

Thanks! That actually really helped your not a bad teacher.

[AcEoFhEarTS1991]

that "bad" case at 7:27 is godly.... you could just spin the cube to the left...then do R U' R' to seperate it..then do R' U' R after its lined up :D

i love that case

[Desie37]

oh, thanks! :P

[ultrashinypalkia3394]

this helped thanks :)

[theWestonian]

you might not have went and learned algorithms for your f2l, but i bet you have subconsciously come up with algorithms for most of the f2l cases.

thats what i did

[Desie37]

yeah thats what i did. :P

[Speedcuber023]

For the OLL case at the end..

If you're like me and don't like L turns, you can try R' U' (R'FRF')*2 U R. :) :P

[Desie37]

XD lol

[glitterglue123]

thank you very much helppedified

[cubingforlife]

Random question but did you finish memorizing oll?

[Desie37]

nope. dont know the dot olls XD

[cubingforlife]

so like 5 or so olls left?

[djblast27]

Lol my brain hurts o.O

[XXXRMJXXX]

awesome vid it helped alot

[Sa967St]

but there's nothing wrong with algorithmic F2L :)

[AcEoFhEarTS1991]

i use it all the time

[Desie37]

of course not :)

[ThisIsWEB]

Desie Desie she's our girl...

those other videos make me hurl?

uh.....

[Desie37]

whats that suppose to mean? :P

[bafeli]

Nice...

[attaxbyte]

cool

[MrHateCrew]

In response to your description.....Chicken butt.

[saeed123456789187]
