I’m still learning to get comfy with 3x3. I’m getting better, slowly and gaining a lot of knowledge from videos like this. JPerm has helped me tremendously with his videos.
Small idea for a video: a comparison / review of coaching services. I'd love to see that. Jay Mc, Jperm, Brody - see where their advice converges or not, etc. It's wonderful to see you decide to improve again - I think we can all relate to lying to ourselves by saying "it's good enough" when we reach a plateau in our progress. I think you'll be sub 10 before the year ends if you practice a lot and follow Jperm's many excellent tutorials :-)
Feliks has a video thats like 10 years old about getting faster. I like his method of just tracking a corner, not worrying about the edge piece of the first pair so much during inspection.
Tips: 1. Planning cross and 1 f2l pair in inspection is a great thing, but it would be easier if u we're colour neutral.(U don't have to be colour neutral). 2. Once u get good a planning an feel pair during inspection (can solve cross+1 pair blindfolded) try to find it 2nd f2l pair while solving ur cross+1 pair. 3. Instead of think about what move u need to do to solve ur cross, visualize how ur hands move to solve the cross. 4. Try to do ur PLL algs as fast as u can, and spend some time practicing ur plls. LOOKAHEAD AND PRACTICE IS THE KEY!!!!!!
You're really overcomplicating this f2l transition practice. The whole concept is essentially keeping note of the general location of your first pair during inspection, and occasionally going the extra step to completely one-look cross +1.
CrazyBadCuber Jayden McNeill had an email about this, and it mentioned tracking 3 cross pieces before tracking the first pair and then the last cross edge, you might want to try that
@@crazybadcuber If cross+1 is giving you a lot of trouble there's a good chance that working on your cross efficiency alone will help your cross+1 as a result. I've seen this work well for people at least a few times Just some quick food for thought
Hey Dan, I average around 16-17 seconds and your video motivates me to try inspecting the first F2L-pair in every inspection in practicing. I try to make a good guess for a pair that will stay in the top-layer and maybe do an extra-move so that it stays/goes there if necessary. I kind of try to track a white corner while planning the cross for the first time. I do not think about the moves as R U L'... it's more like I execute the moves in my mind and track pieces at the same time. Maybe this helps you ;) For a video on the other side you have to say the moves loud :D I got two problems with cross to F2l transition: 1. If my guess is bad I don't have time to search for another pair. 2. I try to be color-neutral, so I don't know where to invest my inspectiontime...in different crosses or the first f2l-pair. (Now that I write it down, first F2l-pair seems better) Thank you for your nice content PS.: In the third scramble the first move is F', not F. You thought F', you executed F', but you wrote F ;) PPS.: Sorry for my bad english
Fabian C. I average around sub10. I am not color neutral and i never inspect the first f2l pair. It is absolutly unnecessery. Drilling algs and faster f2l is much more useful.
I'm sub 10 and I often just plan where the F2L pair will end up and not necessarily the orientation, because I can track that while I'm doing my cross. Also, if you notice that at the end of your cross or even the entire cross will be 3 gen, or even 2 gen, take advantage of the corners that won't be affected and look for corners that will end up in those spots first in inspection
Okay, I've been thinking about this for a couple days. Now mind you I'm not very fast, so this might not be the best advice, but I do know a little. I don't translate to notation when examining or solving, reading notation is for communicating between people, my brain communicates with my hands by muscle memory, cued by the colors and shapes. I imagine this might be a left brain, right brain issue, but translation to notation and then translating back to muscle memory is definitely not working for me. I read notation to learn an alg, but I couldn't tell you the alg notation for very many of them, I just know what to move and when to move it. So try just looking at the cube, and turn your hands (or just imagine turning your hands) instead of thinking about the notation a few times and see if there's a difference.
I just learned to solve a cube a few weeks ago and I learned in one day and I used “sound it out” to learn my algorithms (beginners method of course) it was very helpful
Hey Dan. An advise from someone who is 10.xxx avg, if you want to get to my times all you need is, first of all improve your fingertips. And all the gperms must be without u or r moves. If you like Jperm has a video on how to do all the pill without regrips. And if you like after learning OLL, learn COLL.
Hey, good luck! One- looking cross to f2l shouldnt really be the goal 100% of the time, especially at your speed. I think you should focus on both that and your f2l efficiency. Check out J perms pdf on most efficient f2l solutions, some of your solutions could use some work. Also, double flick U2 if it’s not too hard
I personally don’t think of the actual notation at all, I just sort of visualize the moves I am going to do and how those moves affect the pair I want to predict. For example I would not memorize (L R’) instead I would just visualize moving both sides down.
Only today did I find out that crazy bad had come back, UA-cam didn't give me notifications. I am so happy to see that you are back and I am now caught up on all your videos. Glad to see that you are back.
Big fan, been a sub for a long time. Always been a big fan. If you don't wanna have to memorize all the algs for OLL, I made an Intuitive OLL series that covers each set of cases and how to solve it without an alg. Just food for though. You are already pretty far in, but might help. Won't link it, but if you care its a playlist on my channel. Hope this helps. -Happy Cubing!
On the first scramble what I did was I did a U2 before the last L move on the cross so that the white orange blue could be my first pair and I had memorised where the red blue edge would be and tracked the corner while doing the orange blue pair which made the f2l decently fast and efficient. I did time my self and got 8.79 on first try(I average around 10-11).
On the 3rd example, instead of ending with a D you could have done a wide u' which could have caused you to do your first pair without having to rotate.
Just a side note: For the first scramble, If you did L' D' R' L2 D L for the cross, the first coner you mentioned (Blue red white) ends up being set up for a 7 move insert to the back right corner.
For ur first scramble i did the same cross solution as u but threw in a U cause i notice the blue orange edge was in the front slot but inverted so... My cross was D' R' L U D L First pair was front right and U2 R' F R F' R U' R' But i didnt actually plan a pair during inspection i just came up with that U and whatever else during the execution of the cross solution and kinda winged it so...i need to pract finding a first pair during inspection instead of winging it all the time, but yeah....
I don‘ think your transition to F2L is the big problem. I feel like you aren‘t the greatest at the cross, it feels like you need a lot of time just to figure out your cross solutions. And also I feel like you‘re not confident enough just to execute your whole cross blindfolded and quickly. You need to have the right muscle memory and not think „ah right, then up and left“ your muscle memory should handle that. And also you don‘t need to track every single corner, that just takes up too much time, just track all the corners that aren‘t attached to the cross pieces already, since they often just end up in the D layer. With more experience you‘ll get a better understanding of how pieces move around in certain cases and that should also make your Cross to F2L transition easier. It‘s like F2L lookahead. You should be confident that your muscle memory handles the pair you‘re currently solving and the same applies to the cross. I hope this helps!
to get fast I would practice slow turning until your faster than you average with it, then practice the exact opposite of slow turning and you'll get even faster
If you want more input than can fit into a UA-cam comment, feel free to contact me. I average sub 8 on 3x3, and although I'm no J Perm, I have made a name for myself from making cubing tutorials on UA-cam. I can help you.
It was very interesting method. The only thing I see very difficult is how to do that in 15 seconds... I don't have a very good memory... I suppose the answer is practice and practice and practice. 😂😂
I have a first pair video on my channel but I'm not really sure if it's good. If you could check it out and let me know if it is or not in my comments it would be much appreciated.
Who ever thinks that roses are red violets are blue everything rhymes with it you wrong look roses are red violets are blue i dont think this rhymes but do you?
Look ,u need to analyze the scramble . First do the 15 sec one and then same scramble . Slowly ull make progress . Also x cross when u can . Made 20 to 10
Rose are red
Violets are blue
I love your videos
And that’s forever true!

I would actually like to see a video like that.
mentality tip for planning cross +1 if youre thinking of them as 2 steps:
plan your first 3 cross pieces
then look for your last piece and first pair

How is your progress coming along on this? I saw that on instagram you had a new PB.
I wouldn't have the balls to show my phone on video with just 20% battery left.

Hi CrazyBadCuber, i am sitting with the same problem, please keep us updated through your process! i am gonna try the same technique...

Im pretty sure this 'help' isnt for the cube, the beeps and boops near the start is a 'S.O.S.' of sorts
I do this only on easy/ 3 gen crosses because thnyou can easily be sure that some pieces won be affected even without tracking anything

199k subs! So close to 200k
Do your cross slow so while doing your cross try to track your f2l pair so you can go 2 f2l fast
What happened to Dayan?
Fix your fingertricks. U2' for H, D2 for A, R2' at the end of Gb (or just use the RUD one)
for the first scramble, you should have done x cross by doing the yellow color first
Dan your really good compared to me i average 30 sec but its great your making new goals
Should I buy weilong gts 2m or Gan 356 air
gts
Which app is that?
CHALLENGE: Overtake Damian lmao
to get fast I would practice slow turning until your faster than you average with it, then practice the exact opposite of slow turning and you'll get even faster
Constantly say the moves in your head!!! That's how I do it.
Swipe left to generate a new scramble on fivetimer
11:56 Is no one going to point out what this sounds like?
Dan, u have to improve ur f2l efficiency it's very bad for my opinion, just try, watch some vids
Jay mcneill has a cubing coaching plan. I got it and it was so helpful. Check it out on his channel and his website.
My recommendation is to learn a better method such as zz.
Use cubeskills it helps me a lot feliks zemdegs teaches very good👍
Dude, for memo u need to cut everything into triggers, or track pairs

You got this, if only if I could be as fast as you. 😅
You can! :D
Nice resolution
Just focus on f2l and minimize pauses
Love ur videos
your turning style is very different i am 100% sure you will improve if you fix that
how can i possibly help you im only sub 23 but i know full oll and pll lol
Here first just got my first speed cube
Hey
Is this blue
Nolan rink
I have a first pair video on my channel but I'm not really sure if it's good. If you could check it out and let me know if it is or not in my comments it would be much appreciated.
Sorry dude, I’m broke
Nice vid
How to get sub 10
O-O came as soon as i heard
Charge your phone my dude
Work on your cross, mate
its NOT JPERM it's H perm
Who ever thinks that roses are red violets are blue everything rhymes with it you wrong look roses are red violets are blue i dont think this rhymes but do you?
I would like!!
Great look fordward... memorize in your hands...
Yhi
Giveaway for 200k !!! Like so he sees
Hell yeah
Look ,u need to analyze the scramble . First do the 15 sec one and then same scramble . Slowly ull make progress . Also x cross when u can . Made 20 to 10
