7:26, mine isn't any of these, sorry if you dont get this but : it's like the top-left one but the two non yellow spaces are in the bottom-middle and right middle squares. ( yellow squares: top row, left row middle and bottom right corner, two others are on the sides of the non-yellow ones on the top)
Message for the maker of this video. There is a simple move (algorithm if you would call it) to place the white-whatever squares where you want it. For example..If I wanted to place a red/white square in the correct place but the red square is where the white should be. In this case I should perform a L and then move the first two sections towards me one time and then move them up. After that the white/red will have the red facing on top. Then it's simply turn the cube so that it matches.
And for those that say that you move too fast: He has the algorithms written up above and even below on the new version so yall need you utilize the pause button like I did. The new version is so basic a retard could solve a rubik's cube. I hate to see a valiant effort go to waste. I understood it. So if anybody didn't understand it then u are too retarded to solve a rubik's cube. Point and simple.
I just want to say that I really liked your vids..the old and new versions. I didn't see you as cocky in either by the way. But I really enjoyed that you actually moved slow enough for me to understand the algorithms. I'm not a math whiz but I would like to come off as one every once in a little while. And the rubik's cube is the best way. I thoroughly understand how to solve this puzzle now and I thank you for showing me the answer to one of man's greatest mysteries.
my problem is when i have done my white cross and edges, and i turn the cube upside down, i havent´s this upside down "T" on every side, if you know what i mean...is that normal or is something wrong with my cube ?^^
no. its a common beginner's mistake and I will make sure to address it much more explicitly in my upcoming remake of these videos. You are simply placing the corners into wrong positions, in between wrong centers. There is for example a WHITE-RED-GREEN edge. You must place it ABOVE where it has to go before you apply the algorithms. THe place it has to go is between REd and GREEN center. Remember that every corner has a unique location where it has to end up in... SIGH hard to explain
I went from having never held a cube, to being able to solve it in 40 sec in about 2 months, using ONLY mephisto's videos. He explains things quite well. That isn't to say that you can watch each video once and become a master. It takes practice and a good memory to get good at it but I assure you this method works for even those who have never even seen a rubik's cube. If this tutorial doesn't help you, I don't see how another could, this is as simple as it gets.
im able to solve the cube..but someone whos new in solving the cube doesnt want s to learn all these algs...FOR BEGINNERS: watch dan brown vid...then may watch this ..btw i love your other vids!!!
I agree does I can see that it was an attempt to guide someone to fridrich and for intermediate+ theres none better than mephisto but for an LBL this is pretty complicated
maybe an intermediate to 2look pll but i must disagree there are way too many algs to remember for those wanting just to know how to solve it, for those hoping to get into speedcubing fair enough but not for someone who just wants to be ble to solve it.
I don't get it when you say that all of the edges are oriented, but there are still two that aren't on the yellow side of the cube. What is the quickest way to get the cube so the yellow side is full?
no really fish is the same word for both much like moose its not mooses or deer it isn't deers and also with scissors or offspring or aircraft or you or species (all of those it is the same word for singular and plural ) roflmao id kick all your asses on scrabble id have triple word scores all over the board lol
hmmm, i got thet first part right with the cross then did the corners puttin them in the right place between colours, but im confused with the second row :S
I actually do get it now X) this is good, but im not stuck on the very last bit :S i keep ending up with a cross on the top when im tryin to do the yellow
you're doing it wrong. you are putting for example blue wihite edge in bgetween the white and orange center or something. Every edge is made of 2 stickers, and they tell you in between what centers that cube has to go to. You did the cross wrong
i did everything u told me and it work thnx dude.... but when i did the last part i finish my cube and didnt even had to go to the 3 part of the video
i got white sloved 6 green, 6 orange,6 blue, 6 red on bottom but a yellow backwords L facing red 3 yellow down very bottom left is yellow so what i do?
umm, sorry to be mean but DUUUH. You are watching part 2/3. Has it not occurred to you that Part1 may have contained some information that is necessary to understand part 2?
It`s not an insult , it`s a cold slap of in the face from logic. We have enough retards on this world and we don`t need more ppl who can even read a simple title stating 2/3 and NOT figure they`re watching the wrong vid to start with.
I had my rubiks cube for a day, i watched some of your vids + another video, and now i can do it easily. When i compared vids the other Video had some easier algorhythms. Why is that?
Question. When orienting the the edges of the top layer, why do you use different algorhythms? ([F U R U' R' F'] & [F R U R' U' F'])
You can use either algorhythm for both cases, (I use the one starting with R instead of U). Why teach 2 seperate algorhythms when 1 works for both cases?
I know. I wanted to stay consistent with the HTML tutorial from Joel, which is linked from the video description. But NOBODY knows about it because nobody reads it! UGH!
this is because when speedcubing... each case serves its own purpose and generally only requires the one algorithm... by repeating just one case as you state it will be much less time efficient and result in slower times
i really appreciate your videos but you go a little too fast when you are doing the algerisms (idk what its called) but im not hating or anything, your videos have really helped me!
i have to go a little fast to keep the video short. The algorithms are THERE, in notation. Just perform them! I dont expect you to mirror what I'm doing in real time. Thats not the point of the video.
u helped me alot but i think those moves arent for beginners i mean im not a beginnner i can solve one side quick and up to the second layer but i cant do the cross befor so ya thnx for that but i had to pause the vid everytime u do a move and i think i cant memorize it but thnx any ways
look - you're just being lazy. I did not teach notation for nothing. I GIVE the moves, it is your job to understand and memorize them, thats the way it works, and thats the way that EVERYONE did it. There is no easy simple shortcut. If you can't do it then you will not be able to solve the cube... its as simple as that.
also note that there is an HTML version of this tutorial and I link to it from video description. Go there, print that page out, learn the algs at your leisure.
Pogobat/Dan Brown does do a great job in his tutorial, it's how I learn. This tutorial however helps prepare you for getting into advanced methods for faster times. That, and this method alone is faster than Dan Brown's. :P
His explanation for the last layer is a tiny bit confusing, but it is worth watching it a few times to understand it. It's a lot faster and it's easier to switch to Fridrich last layer so definetly go with this if you are serious about cubing.
I am having a problem with my cube. When trying to solve the second layer, I sometimes encounter a situation in which one of the edges I am trying to shoot is messed up.
An example would be when I am trying to finish the second layer, but my edge to shoot is neither in the position already, as described in you video, but it is neither on the third level in the correct form.
Sorry if I suck at explaining, but ya...is there an algorithm to solve this situation?
well... i guess the edge must then be in the second layer then, but in the wrong position? Just "shoot" a random edge from the top layer to that position, and it will "pop" it out to the top, then put it where it actually belongs to.
I probably didn's explain my problem well enouigh. The solution you're describing is the one in your video, right?
Well, my situation is that the edge is not in the second layer, but on the third layer. However, no edges "match" up.
Say, the white side is on top, blue is on the front and orange is on the right. The edge that I'm trying to find is the blue - orange edge. However, the specific ORANGE piece I'm looking for is not in the third layer, but on top, with the other white pieces.
well... how did it get there?! You made your cross already and the entire white layer is completed. Why is white on top? White is supposed to be on bottom now that you have finished the cross, on yellow should be on top.
It sounds like you didn't make a cross or something. This is part 2/3, you DO know that before this comes the part 1/3 and stuff.
When you tell us the algorithms to get two edges of the cross at the same time... is there a way of just getting one? because i always have three edges completed and one incomplete.
yea thats impossible. You are doing something wrong or you cube is not correctly assembled. that can happen if u take it apart and put it back together in wrong way
mine is the same, i have looked at this gys cube and the colour layout is different than mine. i have tried heaps of other tutorials and cant get it. i do have the instructions that came with the cube on how to solve it thou they might as well be written in chinese because they make no sence. if i figure out how to solve the dodgy cube i will post a vid
i first want to say thank you. i bought the cube thinking i could figure it out, but i did have problems and you helped me. so if you see or read this i would certainly follow his advice. but after solving again and again i began to study the different methods, and these methods led me to OLL and PLL. which of course i enjoy, but my real enjoyment is 20th century literature which of course im studying. And from the mouth Sherlock Holmes himself ond you eliminate the impossible whatever
Turn the top face 45° and pull out the side-middle cube, slip come vaselline in there with your finger. Re-assemble and repeat it on the remaining 3 sides. Then your cube will fly!
Thanks for putting it easy to understand terms, i have worked on this stupid thing since the mid-eighty's! (never getting further than the 2nd layer) i refused to read any books on how to solve, but this is perfect for the beginner!
Okay so I've followed your method and I've went on websites where they explain how to do it with writing and pictures but after I finish the first two layers, the yellow side is missing a yellow corner so it's just the two crossing lines. can you help me figure out what I've done wrong?
For the sake of completion, in the interest of those who will follow, I will highlight that the orientation of the cube is unclear for the 5 positions mentioned at 7:26. Are the pictorial representations of face F or face U?
gah i feel like crying. spent hours working on this completely determined and i got all the way up to that stupid step with the rotations and completely jumbled the thing. great direction... not really
well i show you two fish pattern cases. I labeled them #1 and #2. In any of those cases I show there, just hold it like show on picture, and apply the first case fish pattern (R' U2 R U R' U R).
on the last layer i keep on coming up with 4 matching corner pairs? when i do the corner algorithm it solves 1 side but undoes the other 3 pairs? what do i do?
no i go over this: when you have 4 matching corners then you dont even need to do that step, you are automatically done. Just do U turns until you see that all your corners are actually solved. Proceed to last stage, and do the edges and you are done.
hey, dude, i woulds say your preety talented, i like how you made the speed cube videos, you know that key hole thing, yeah, but for beginers i would recomend dan browns methods, or atleast for the first and last layers, your second layer algorithym's are probably easier but the rest i would reccomend dan brown, anyway your preety good, and yeah, keep it up
dan browns method is little easier to learn in last layer thing, as he does the corner orientation using the commutator in the end. The biggest advantage to my method I think is that it will easily allow anyone to transition to Fridrich method. The people that learned from Dan will have to re-learn stuff, but you will only be adding to your pre-existing knowledge.
You lost me at 1:18.

If so, you need to take your cube a part and put it together solved to make sure your pieces are right.

There is no easy simple shortcut. If you can't do it then you will not be able to solve the cube... its as simple as that.

also note that there is an HTML version of this tutorial and I link to it from video description. Go there, print that page out, learn the algs at your leisure.

no wait, i mastered the pogobat and the pogobat faster, this is so much easier for the second layer at least
angryflan 3 years ago
Pogobat/Dan Brown does do a great job in his tutorial, it's how I learn. This tutorial however helps prepare you for getting into advanced methods for faster times. That, and this method alone is faster than Dan Brown's. :P
Still, both tutorials are good.

this is too complicated.I still think pogobat's video tutorial is much easier.
dragonfable17 3 years ago
His explanation for the last layer is a tiny bit confusing, but it is worth watching it a few times to understand it. It's a lot faster and it's easier to switch to Fridrich last layer so definetly go with this if you are serious about cubing.

On my cube looks like gyy
G=Green Y=yellow oyy
O=Orange R=red yrg
from the top, How do you solve it from there or at least get to the fish pattern?

what happens if its not one of the 7 cases? it happened to me twice l ol
zrabulator 3 years ago
I am having a problem with my cube. When trying to solve the second layer, I sometimes encounter a situation in which one of the edges I am trying to shoot is messed up.
An example would be when I am trying to finish the second layer, but my edge to shoot is neither in the position already, as described in you video, but it is neither on the third level in the correct form.
Sorry if I suck at explaining, but ya...is there an algorithm to solve this situation?
MonarchVV 3 years ago
well... i guess the edge must then be in the second layer then, but in the wrong position? Just "shoot" a random edge from the top layer to that position, and it will "pop" it out to the top, then put it where it actually belongs to.
badmephisto 3 years ago
I probably didn's explain my problem well enouigh. The solution you're describing is the one in your video, right?
Well, my situation is that the edge is not in the second layer, but on the third layer. However, no edges "match" up.
Say, the white side is on top, blue is on the front and orange is on the right. The edge that I'm trying to find is the blue - orange edge. However, the specific ORANGE piece I'm looking for is not in the third layer, but on top, with the other white pieces.
MonarchVV 3 years ago
well... how did it get there?! You made your cross already and the entire white layer is completed. Why is white on top? White is supposed to be on bottom now that you have finished the cross, on yellow should be on top.
It sounds like you didn't make a cross or something. This is part 2/3, you DO know that before this comes the part 1/3 and stuff.
badmephisto 3 years ago
Another misunderstanding on my pary. Sorry.
The example I gave didn't necessarily mean that I was using the white part as my cross. The white part was only the top side of the cube.
MonarchVV 3 years ago
When you tell us the algorithms to get two edges of the cross at the same time... is there a way of just getting one? because i always have three edges completed and one incomplete.
im desperatly desperate to figure this out!!!!
knowyourmushrooms01 3 years ago
yea thats impossible. You are doing something wrong or you cube is not correctly assembled. that can happen if u take it apart and put it back together in wrong way
badmephisto 3 years ago
Yeah, my cube is not a genuine Rubiks cube. I bought it dirt cheap. Could this be why?
I cant for the life of me solve it, no matter what solution i use.
knowyourmushrooms01 3 years ago
mine is the same, i have looked at this gys cube and the colour layout is different than mine. i have tried heaps of other tutorials and cant get it. i do have the instructions that came with the cube on how to solve it thou they might as well be written in chinese because they make no sence. if i figure out how to solve the dodgy cube i will post a vid
decdec01 3 years ago
remains must be the truth, there is an entire article im writing comparing and contrasting the two which will be posted soon
billthebutcher33 3 years ago
i first want to say thank you. i bought the cube thinking i could figure it out, but i did have problems and you helped me. so if you see or read this i would certainly follow his advice. but after solving again and again i began to study the different methods, and these methods led me to OLL and PLL. which of course i enjoy, but my real enjoyment is 20th century literature which of course im studying. And from the mouth Sherlock Holmes himself ond you eliminate the impossible whatever

shorty2140 3 years ago
Turn the top face 45° and pull out the side-middle cube, slip come vaselline in there with your finger. Re-assemble and repeat it on the remaining 3 sides. Then your cube will fly!

thancks dude your vids are really good and are easy to uderstand!
Another guy in a vid said "you can not finish the cube not every one can do it"but now my cube is finished all thanks to you.Thank you very much.
paz3223 3 years ago
Thanks for putting it easy to understand terms, i have worked on this stupid thing since the mid-eighty's! (never getting further than the 2nd layer) i refused to read any books on how to solve, but this is perfect for the beginner!
God Bless!

Ignore my last comment =P i figured it out.
Youoftube1 3 years ago
Okay so I've followed your method and I've went on websites where they explain how to do it with writing and pictures but after I finish the first two layers, the yellow side is missing a yellow corner so it's just the two crossing lines. can you help me figure out what I've done wrong?
Youoftube1 3 years ago
Really appreciate the videos.
For the sake of completion, in the interest of those who will follow, I will highlight that the orientation of the cube is unclear for the 5 positions mentioned at 7:26. Are the pictorial representations of face F or face U?
I stumbled on that a few times.
Best,

wirefree101 3 years ago
well at 7:00 i show one of them, the chameleon, and I show that you have to hold them with the pattern on U face.
badmephisto 3 years ago
gah i feel like crying. spent hours working on this completely determined and i got all the way up to that stupid step with the rotations and completely jumbled the thing. great direction... not really
wolfl654 3 years ago
At 7:32 what do u mean by "apply the first method"?
ExpectoPatronum1313 3 years ago
well i show you two fish pattern cases. I labeled them #1 and #2. In any of those cases I show there, just hold it like show on picture, and apply the first case fish pattern (R' U2 R U R' U R).
badmephisto 3 years ago
ok thank u!!!!!!!!! =]
ExpectoPatronum1313 3 years ago
on the last layer i keep on coming up with 4 matching corner pairs? when i do the corner algorithm it solves 1 side but undoes the other 3 pairs? what do i do?
woah12345678910 3 years ago
no i go over this: when you have 4 matching corners then you dont even need to do that step, you are automatically done. Just do U turns until you see that all your corners are actually solved. Proceed to last stage, and do the edges and you are done.

this was the ONLY METHOD that worked!!! =]

hey, dude, i woulds say your preety talented, i like how you made the speed cube videos, you know that key hole thing, yeah, but for beginers i would recomend dan browns methods, or atleast for the first and last layers, your second layer algorithym's are probably easier but the rest i would reccomend dan brown, anyway your preety good, and yeah, keep it up
obesegorilla 3 years ago
dan browns method is little easier to learn in last layer thing, as he does the corner orientation using the commutator in the end. The biggest advantage to my method I think is that it will easily allow anyone to transition to Fridrich method. The people that learned from Dan will have to re-learn stuff, but you will only be adding to your pre-existing knowledge.

jackfense 3 years ago
how would i know if its put together right i took the corners out and lubed it up
jackfense 3 years ago
yes, its probably put together wrong :D
take it apart, and put it back in, but put it back in the right way, solved.
badmephisto 3 years ago
idk what im doin but when ever ur supposed to have the top solved i have one cormer that is never solved for some reason
jackfense 3 years ago
if all top is solved except for a single corner, then your cube is assembled wrong, that cant happen... make sure its put together right.
badmephisto 3 years ago
after i can really solve the cube properly i switch completely to ur method before starting on Fridrich method...
talonboy5431 3 years ago
wat do u think about dan brown's method cause im currently using his method but everytime i can't solve the last face of the cube...
