could u put the list of algorthms?

[Thrawst]

I'm working on the f2l page on my site as I type this

[EricCartman1108]

Thrawst about how long did it take you to remember all these

[swade345]

u always say ok so on your video

[synawat]

shouldn't 5:48 be U F at the end not U' F?

[blackzabbathfan]

I thought of this little F2L trick for the case in 2:20

It will require an open slot to work. bring the corner from the open slot into the spot of the corner in the correct place, Flip the edge using any flipping algorithm and replace the corner It should go like this:

D(or D' or D2) R U R' U' F' U F D'

2:20

I prefer the algo:

F2 U2 l' U2 l U2 F U' F

[darthvaderyoda]

2:19 couldnt you just go: R U R'U' 3 times, than R 2U R' 2U F U F'

I am not a fan of algorithm F2L, because it doesn't account for pieces in the wrong slots and often you have to do a cube rotation to set it up.

However, with practice you can learn to do all the F2L tricks from any angle (yes, even with L moves) and it's easier to lookahead if you're using an alg rather than intuition.

Another counterpoint: intuitive F2L is easier to learn, and it helps you understand the cube.

[akisgr4]

those algorithms apply for even when other pairs are ready?

[mzielinskim]

the algorithm in 2:20 is too long

better is: R U' 2R 2U R U' F' U' F

THAT IS FASTER ^^

[CeLt74]

Dude instead of using the algorithm watch what he does and try to figure out how it works, that way its actually intuitive you know? You actually know what your doing instead of blindly using an alg. , helps you understand how to work the cube better too

[Jo3Ach]

Cheers it looks easier without the other stickers.

Hey guys, there are some flaws in the notation he puts in text in the video, for instance, at 6:20 , the " U' " should be just U, Thrawst, plz fix this, i counted 2 so far, and ive revised them myself, but it sucks, revise plz?
