F2L Tips and Tricks - Basics - Set 1

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Cyoubx/127741737298165

Reuploaded from pentacubers. This will be the first of three videos on helping you improve your F2L. If this series gets enough support (aka, 'like' if you like it), I'll make the advanced sets covering insertion and multipairing/slotting.

The rest of How to Make a Speedcube (HTMASC) will come out later, but I know many of you want F2L tutorials, so here's that.

Gameplan:
HTMASC Part IV on Friday
HTMASC Part V on Sunday
F2L Tips Basics Set 2 on Wednesday
HTMASC Part VI on Friday
HTMASC Part VII on Saturday
F2L Tips Intermediate Set on Monday

^^How's that sound?

Also, a note on HTMASC. Everything is already filmed. Editing is relatively easy at this point since I've done more than half of them already. I'm trying to space the uploads, but you guys might just want them all at once. Leave a comment below if you'd like to just see the whole series now instead of bit by bit.

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.

@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.

@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.

Oh, and sorry that it looks like it was filmed with a potato :(

[supercoolmunkee]

This F2L tips and tricks needs to have more views for people who wants shortcuts in F2L!

[cyoubx]

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

[TheRichardboom]

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