3.1 - Overview or the cross
3.2 - Tips and practice techniques
3.3 - Extended cross information and cross examples with thought process.

This is basic information and an overview of the cross step. This part is not a tutorial. Most advanced cubers will already know most of the things explained in this video.

Some things discussed in this video are:

Overview of this part of the series
Spatial recognition/beginner and advanced cross methods/techniques
Where to build the cross
Cross colours
etc.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The next 2 cross videos are quite advanced, and unless you are very compotent at building the cross, you will not benefit from them. I suggest watching badmephisto's advanced cross tutorial beforehand -

You know I'm doing cross on L and I tried to do cross on D to have better look ahead, but it was "holy crap", times of my solves started to be over 20 (my mean of 100 is come about 17 second) and I back to cross on left, cause on L I am pretty good. So what you think, if I'll stay on left i can do pretty much results ?

[fazrulz1]

@LeonardO72321 Cross on left is really fast too. Tomasz, Phillip, and David Woner all use it, and they are sub 10.

@MiniUziNation WOWRLY I NEVAR NOTICED >_>

It's to avoid a rotation after the cross.
