F2L Tips and Tricks - Basics - Set 1

if i bought a guhong, would it be legal? v2 with torpedoes?

[cyoubx]

@12345soccerguy Yes. Just make sure it's NOT a stickerless one.

[12345soccerguy]

@cyoubx what about v1?

[cyoubx]

@12345soccerguy That's what I use :D

[12345soccerguy]

@cyoubx so if i bought a dayan guhong v1 from amazon, worked it in for an hour, cleaned it (wipe off the lube if any), lube it with differential oil, it'll be great? :) also cyoubx, i'm on my last 2 pll algorithms! the Na and Nb perms, lol so i learned like 5 today, although i need to practice the G perms more, as i forget the moves. for some reason, learning PLL has influenced me to be faster, weird. like i'm making less pauses during f2l and recognizing things more, like oll and pll :)

[cyoubx]

@12345soccerguy Yeah, that'll be a great cube. Get the GuHong while you can. They're stopping production of it. You learn REALLY fast. I'm jealous. N Perms are a lot of fun :D

[12345soccerguy]

@cyoubx lol i just try to learn them while watching tv, and i think because i'm getting all this new information (algorithms), the old is easier (f2l) as it isn't as hard anymore, so i guess that's why i think i'm getting faster.

[12345soccerguy]

@cyoubx yay, i finally know full PLL, however in case i forget, i'll do each algorithm maybe twice everday. oll time lol. and funny how lol can be rearranged into OLL .

[12345soccerguy]

@cyoubx is there anyway to recognize PLL's faster?

[magicswimmer1]

Will this help me break sub-30

[cyoubx]

@magicswimmer1 Yes, for sure.

[12345soccerguy]

your f2l tutorials are very fun to watch, with your great colored guhong, fingertricks, and straight to the point talking.

[cyoubx]

@12345soccerguy Thanks for the encouragement!!

Nice video, here's hoping you do make an advanced one.

Might be worth mentioning a couple of sledge hammer { ( R' F R F' ) , ( L F' L' F ) } algs for some of the cases though.

In the first case 1:25, ( R' F R F' )*3 will preserve orientation of the last layer ( skip potential ).

In another case, 4:30, U' ( L F' L' F )*2 will avoid the cube rotation.

[cyoubx]

@beundead Yeah, sledge hammer has nice applications. I'm going to be doing 'Micro' tutorials later in the year, so I'll probably spend time on just sledge hammers.

The U' (L F' L' F)*2 is one I didn't know, though. Thanks for that.

[TheRichardboom]

dude r u uploading a hard set of f2l?

[cyoubx]

@TheRichardboom Yes. If enough people like the series, I will make the set. As it looks right now, I think so.

[superpalo102]

Guhong or zhanchi both stickerless ? What do you prefer ?

[cyoubx]

@superpalo102 I don't have a stickerless ZhanChi, but I have them both in black. Tough call. Personally, GuHong.

[12345soccerguy]

your cube is so smooth, and fast! dayan zhanchi?

[cyoubx]

@12345soccerguy Nope! GuHong.

[coolster01]
