Oh, I should probably add that this is definitely not the only way to average sub 3, but it's what I did and is a relatively easy way to break the sub 3 barrier, imo.

I was like "Oh weird CLL algs i never knew he's left-handed"  before i was suddenly told it's mirrored. :p

Nice tutorial though. btw how often can you predict the CLL/EG1 case?

[Speedcuber023]

@onionhoney1 Onionhoney. :D I can almost always predict the entire solve. However, that's with CLL/EG1/EG2(Anti-CLL sometimes), and SS. I've promised to make a video about it for a few months. I'll get around to it soon, I promise. :)

i have a question, for those people out there who have been recognixing cases on all puzzles as a matter of "this piece needs to swap with this one" or "these three need to have a clockwise cycle" how can we shich over to the color recognition that can be used in CLL? Any tips or suggestions?

[Speedcuber023]

@Freelancer2258 Just quit looking for which pieces switch all together. Start recognizing by checking the relationship between certain stickers. Check out Rowe's vid for that.

I don't understand the SS tricks in the link, could you make a video for it?

[TheAdsClan]

Hey, can you make a tutorial on the first layer to get around 5 moves to permute it? With cancellation tips? :)

[SuperMicrodude]

Have you made a video of how to inspect the cube?? But great video :)
