I wanted to learn to solve a 2x2 blindfolded with your 3x3 blindfold tutorial to get some experience, but now there's an entire video dedicated to 2x2 blind solving which is awesome.
Absoulotley amazing. The second day I had my first blindfold solve after watching this video, and now (The 4th day) I am consistent. I am able to solve it every time blindfolded. Thx so much.
Hey jperm it’s been a while! I finally got to solve my 4x4 and I average around 2 mins, I don’t practice often because I’ve been practicing 3x3 more! I got my pb average of 5 and it was 19 seconds! All I can say is that it was because of your videos that I could do this! Im super grateful for your vids!
I'm so happy to be able to solve it using this method with my eyes open (takes a few tries to get it right). I can't imagine how happy I'll be when I can do this with my eyes closed.
Wow I tried to learn off another tutorial, but I couldn’t do it, but you get straight to the point while explaining it so greatly in detail! Thanks, now I’m gonna try and learn it
Watched this video once, practicing your examples along the way. Immediately used ChaoTimer for a random state, solved it blind. Great tutorial i can now solve 2x2 blind in less than 20 minutes
Great video thank you. A year a ago I tried learning this and it was too difficult. This video makes a lot of sense and is very easy to follow. I understand how it works now and hopefully will learn how to do this this week Edit: I learned it, thank you
New cycle is when you memorizing your letters and you reach the buffer location so you have to pick any letter that is not solved and memorize again and your cycle has to end on the same first piece when you started your new cycle
@@AJFitness09 no you just memorize that letter and where it goes until you come back to the same piece. then you do it again with every other unsolved piece
Thank you so much! I haven’t finished the memorization process as I’m still trying to remember where letters go and thinking of tactics to remember the letters, but I now know enough do it it with a sample cube (with letters in it like yours) and my letters written down.
Thank you so much! It's only taken me a few days to learn the 2x2 blindfolded because of you. If there's one person who explains things well, it's definitely you. Keep cubing, Dylan!
Hey, I just solved my first 2×2×2 blindfolded. I have trained ca. 4 hours till i reached this big goal. Thank you so much J Perm for this great tutorial...
Braxton Winters It’s literally just the corners of 3BLD except for there’s always one piece solved because the pieces don’t have to be in between any centers/edges, so you can just hold it so that at least one piece is solved.
Good Video ! I did a few attempts without blindfold, did your scrambles and got it with blindfold first try =D Thanks a lot... seeing the 2x2 solved was soooo satisfying!
I tried 3x3 blind a while back, and found it too difficult. After a while, i decided to give 2x2 a go, and after about 40 mins of practice and replaying this video, I finally got my full blindfold solve! Incredibly helpful, and I will definitely try learning 3x3 as well.

Thank you man for all of your tutorials! With your help I can solve a 3x3 in 30 sec. Its pretty slow I know but its pretty good time for me! You are the best of all!!
@@phantom-69420 thats what if figured it would be crazy to do this without an inspection. I saw a guy do this on a 4x4. Shit was crazy. He did it in just over a minute.
For people who don't understand the algorithm here is a way cool tip to memorize it easily take out the bottom right piece with r u' r' u' now take out the piece went to the spot with r u r' now take out the bottom left piece using f r u r' u' now end the ALG with r' f' r try it it's way easier than you think
This tutorial is really really good this was the only good tutorial I found on the UA-cam first I was confused but now I crystal clear...Really really happy😇😇
You can tell a lot of thought was put into this tutorial - although I feel like alongside *showing* where the pieces go, you should have also explained what is actually happening. From what I understood, it's basically like slotting, kinda like pseudoslotting. You displace each corresponding corner for the buffer piece in the opposite corner (Bottom front right corner) and perform the algorithm. The buffer is basically a "storage" corner until it can be swapped into it's correct position.
Well, to be fair... isn't it? I like the 2x2 as well, but let's keep it real: it definitely lacks the complexity of a 3x3. Maybe "for babies" is hyperbolic since normal people won't be able to fix a 2x2 by intuition either, but let's be real and keep it in perspective. Compared to a 3x3 it is a walk in the park. It's all relative though.
I just recently got a 2x2 and can solve it in under 8 seconds ( I suck). I wanted a challenge, so I tried 2x2 BLD. After failing about 10 times, I did it. Thank you so much! This is why I watch your videos. You’re helpful, and I think renaming the PLLs was amazing lol. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for this well organized tutorial, Jperm. I have already watched it twice. One question: what fraction of the time, roughly can a 2x2x2 be solved without needing multiple "cycles" or flips? Half of the time? More, less? Thanks!
I just calculated about 17% assuming you have only 1 piece already solved when you start. although I'm not sure if this is accurate. You can technically avoid flipped pieces by the way you hold the cube on a 2x2 to make sure nothing is in its correct spot already and flipped, but this isn't feasible as its faster to just deal with the flipped pieces.
when the buffer becomes solved, find any unsolved piece and memorize that letter and where it goes. do this until you come back to any letter on the same piece. when you are done with this, you do it again for any unsolved piece after that
Kevin Janssen The reason why 2BLD isn’t an official WCA event is because it would just be the same exact thing as without a blindfold for fast 2x2x2 solvers, but for all other solvers, it would be super unfair. That’s because once you get fast at 2x2x2, it’s possible to just 1-look a regular 2x2x2 solve, so fast solvers would just do the same exact thing.
Don't mind my comment, I just wanna list my progress here. Day 1: A. At 5:00 of the video, I managed to solve the "basic scramble." However, I already knew the pieces/letters to be solved without inspection (as I already watched the video beforehand.) B. At 7:15 of the video, I managed to solve the "new cycles scramble." Just like the first scramble, I already knew the pieces/letters to be solved. I did understand the concept (how I'm supposed to find the pieces to solve) but I must admit that my brain hurt that time. Lol
so J Perm what's the best way to get your cube memorized in letters? right now I'm able to solve it under the table while looking at notes. oh and for everone who wants to trick people into thinking you can solve it blindfolded or just really fast try this scramble R' F R2 F2 U' R2 F' U' R' with white top green front.
The setup moves are not working for me Edit:ok I understood but I wondered that this might be helpful for someone so for the setup moves to work you have to solve green front white up
FOR CLARIFICATION: The reason why you memorize the first letter of a new cycle is because you actually need to swap that piece with the buffer, and you need to memorize the last letter of a new cycle because you need to put the buffer back. The corner twist is actually swapping to pieces and swapping them back but flipped correctly.

One question: what fraction of the time, roughly can a 2x2x2 be solved without needing multiple "cycles" or flips?
Half of the time? More, less?
Thanks!
I just calculated about 17% assuming you have only 1 piece already solved when you start. although I'm not sure if this is accurate. You can technically avoid flipped pieces by the way you hold the cube on a 2x2 to make sure nothing is in its correct spot already and flipped, but this isn't feasible as its faster to just deal with the flipped pieces.
This was an amazing tutorial I couldn’t do it at first but that’s because I was doing the setup moves wrong
Its like u switched language When u got to cycle stuff, actually showing examples would be really helpful
man jperm, you will go down in cubing history
When a new cycle starts, does the buffer change or do I go on with the same buffer?
when the buffer becomes solved, find any unsolved piece and memorize that letter and where it goes. do this until you come back to any letter on the same piece. when you are done with this, you do it again for any unsolved piece after that

don't have to memorize the color scheme because of solved pieces ;)

so J Perm what's the best way to get your cube memorized in letters? right now I'm able to solve it under the table while looking at notes. oh and for everone who wants to trick people into thinking you can solve it blindfolded or just really fast try this scramble R' F R2 F2 U' R2 F' U' R' with white top green front.
The setup moves are not working for me
Edit:ok I understood but I wondered that this might be helpful for someone so for the setup moves to work you have to solve green front white up
The letters move around based on which way you face the cube, for example, A will always be ULB even if something like red is on top.

^ memorize A/E/I/M/Q/U for the first letter of each face. don't write stuff on a 2x2, I only did that for clarity

If the buffer is flipped I use a different starting piece. It is easier than a new cycle.
What to do if the new cycle gets to a solved piece
FOR CLARIFICATION: The reason why you memorize the first letter of a new cycle is because you actually need to swap that piece with the buffer, and you need to memorize the last letter of a new cycle because you need to put the buffer back.
The corner twist is actually swapping to pieces and swapping them back but flipped correctly.
