6 REALLY IMPORTANT F2L Cases For Intermediate Solvers
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- I'm going to teach you 6 really important F2L cases to do correctly, especially if you're an intermediate solver or faster. If you want to have fast F2L, this is a good place to start. Doing these cases efficiently will help you do F2L so much faster and make looking ahead much easier. I've broken all of the solutions down into their triggers, and explained exactly what each move does, in order to help you learn them as easily as possible.

That always happens to me lol
Insert with a sexy move🤣
@@Ricodon2121 haha I got it 😁😁🤣🤣
For the case at 2:30 I prefer the solution with the triple inverse sexy move. This gives you the opportunity to do the sledgehammer in the end and thus orient some edges.
Very good point
Never thought of that. I’m definitely using the inverse from now on. :)
Challenge: post this comment on a non-cubing video to see what people think of that out of context 😂
Julio974 LOL
Silverback947 you just watched speedcubereview's vid Huh? xdxp
My greatest weakness in F2L is that, I have a hard time finding the edge.
I’m new to cubing! My first puzzle is a megaminx (what a weird start into cubing world 🤣); solve it with beginner method (it takes like 10 minutes 😒) Then I realize 3x3 is the key to master other challenging puzzles, especially F2L.
Remember a ton of algs makes me so “angry” cause I’m very impatient 😂 so Thank you so much for the video, i now drop my time quite a lot.
What do you avg on 3x3
why do you use so many emojis
Huy Pham whats your 3x3 average now?

When I tell friends my F2L is efficient for my times (around 18-19) they don't believe me. And then I just show them your F2L videos.
Nothing beats Brody's videos. I love how he shows how a beginner f2l cuber would solve it and then shows how its meant to be done. My favorite cuber on UA-cam!
my weakness is looking for pairs for 20 seconds each time
My weaknesses with f2l (or cfop in general) is that it doubles my time compared to using the beginner method and that really demotivates me from learning it, but I know if I keep going for a couple days I should see some improvement. I stuck with the beginner method for too long I think
Edit: Just pb'd with cfop
same
Same with me when i used cfop for the first time, its normal, I used to solve with cfop with 1 minute and i can solve for 40 seconds with beginner's method, now i average 20-30 with cfop now
I used to do beginner method first and second then F2L last layer and I averaged 32 secs after learning F2L took me 1:30 secs then after a month I got under my old average. I’m so close to sub 20!
congrats!
@@jebus456 actually got a new pb today after stopping for a while, 26.4s

This is a super helpful video to get better at F2L. It targets the most annoying F2L cases with simple algs based largely on move sets you probably already know (sexy move, sledgehammer, etc.). Clearly demonstrated, right to the point. Thanks, BrodytheCuber!
Finally!!! I was waiting for good explained f2l cases
Personal Time stamps
1:00 white sticker on top connected to edge piece (R U2 R') U' (insert pair)
1:53 corner on top of back-right and corner in opposite slot (R U R2 U' R)
2:51 white on top and edge below it incorrectly flipped (sexy move 3x) (pieces form checkerboard pattern before solving)
4:08 corner in slot white facing to side and edge lined up (sexy move)(insert pair) (corner color facing you is different than the edge color facing up)
4:48 corner in correct slot with white facing you and edge lined up (R U' R' U) (insert pair)
5:52 bro idek how to describe this one
other algs that may be useful
corner correctly inserted and edge is lined up U' (R' F R F') (R U R') (corner color facing you is the same as the edge color facing up)
Late but Thankyou so much
@@dirtydaniel6107 dang this brought back so many memories its been so long since ive solved a rubicks cube
@@silly_gooses2568 see if you can still do it if you got one
I really appreciate the information in this video. That said please leave out the incorrect/ inefficient ways of solving each case. I started cubing about two weeks ago and have have learned intuitive F2L and 4 look last layer, and my F2L is very slow/ inefficient. When I saw your video on some, I thought it was extremely interesting, but now I have been practicing all morning and every time I want to double check what you did in your video I have to find the case, ignore the incorrect examples and then try to connect the case with what you do for you solution. This is an extremely minor gripe but that gap between when you show the case to when you start the efficient solution has been bugging me all morning. Otherwise it was a great video the helped me think in different way about my F2L solutions
Can u write a summary of that comment ....I'm just lazy😅
There's something else that I like to do from time to time with F2L, and it was actually showcased in one of Spotty's videos. Try solving F2L without using your normal solutions, because you could come across a more efficient solution by accident. You'll mostly get inefficient garbage, but sometimes, that light bulb comes on, and you just happen upon a new solution that you would have never found otherwise. I think that's a cool exercise, anyways.
But sometimes, just knowing the best alg for a case is the best solution to the problem, especially these cases that you showed, Brody. And showing them in this high-quality way makes things that much more enjoyable, and that much easier to gain knowledge from. Please don't stop being awesome. :D
That's an interesting approach. I might try that
That really helped. I was fidgeting when I realized I could make a pair when edge is in correct slot
yeah. sometimes in untimed or timed solves i do a really good f2l solution and start implementing it in more solves
@@bobcubing1629 should i use the algorithm in the first example if the pair is not in correct slot?
3:05 I use this, all time 😀
for the 6th case, i found you can just put the corner in the bottom left corner, then do F' U' L' U L F to connect them. Much faster
For case #3 I use U R U' R' (x3). I find it a little bit easier for all angles to do it :)
I agree. I mentioned that immediately after showing (R U R' U') x3 :)
I Google "Drived" you some videos :)
Thanks!!
Yep I saw that!
Finding pairs is my weakness Can you do video about it ?
Time stamps for me
0:58 white sticker top connected to edge on right
1:47 Corner back right edge front right
2:54 Edge in place corner on top white facing up
4:05 Corner in slot white to side, edge on right matching centre
4:48 Corner in slot white to front, edge on right matching centre
5:44 Difficult case, edge to right of corner white on top
1:00 instead of doing that, I do (U R' U' R)2
Same
Total 8 moves
2:54 You can do a U so the front color of the corner and edge is the same and sledgehammer with the hand where the edge is R’FRF’. If the edge is in the left LF’L’F. (Normal L is down and L’ is up)
When I got into cubing for the first time I thought that oll and pll are the challenging parts of cfop. Now, after a long break from the hobby and reconnecting with it recently, I have to say those are much easier than even solving the cross since it's just pattern recognition and immediate algorithm execution, a little challenging for pll but less challenging or at least on par with solving the cross as fast as possible, which also takes a lot of look ahead and having to also solve it with the least cube rotation and than when you get to f2l you'll need to know how to deal with all these numerous cases while also knowing how to insert from different angles while also knowing how to look ahead. I was but a child to think oll and pll are the hard parts.
At 5:45, I think I invented a new alg for that case (at least I don't see anyone else using it). Hold corner in front right and edge at front, it goes:
R2 U R' U R U2 R' U' R'
Doesn't affect other slots and fewer moves. (And there's the mirror case as well)
Dude, that's INSANE!! I've never seen that before and it's genius!
Can I make a video about that solution? I'd credit you and link your channel :)
BrodytheCuber There’s also another solution that works, but can hinder look ahead. From the position you showed us in the video, it’s (U2) R2 U2 R’ U’ R U’ R2.

My weakness is look ahead
3:01 you could do a sludge hammer trice
I am not trying to flex I just thought I would let you know I actually managed to predicted how to do them efficiently intuitively. I think it is because I watched all the 20 minutes of his video. It is amazing I would recommend watching it.
I've been doing f2l for a couple weeks and improving all the time. I discovered the triple sexy by accident and actually in a different scenario also. If you have a 2nd layer piece in place and the corner above with white facing up (under the belief white is on bottom) then a triple sexy time will put that top cube into the bottom with the right orientation while pulling the 2nd layer out and putting it back.
I figured all of these cases myself and made my own f2l gui already :D
My biggest weakness is finding the pair to do next for F2l. I take a few seconds to find the pair.
Oh yEA thx you Man !! I was struggling many months with Bottom corner for F2L
drive.google.com/file/d/1nzAXYUWZJ6H2wIOXaHdWXep3W57tArbR/view
This is what I use to learn a lot more algorithms it helps a lot
Hi Brody! For the last case, I actually prefer to do R U' R' without the U' at the beginning and then a U2, and then solve the case with a double sexy move. I think that is better and faster
Most of these I found out through just solving the f2l intuitively, and they’re pretty good. Other than that, cool vid.
DUDE thanks so much! The first and last cases were the most helpful. I've been doing those with cube rotations for the longest time.
5th love your vids Brody. I'm personally working on getting sub 12
at 4:27 i prefer to do put the edge at the back and do (U, R U', R') x2
3:24 actually the second option is technically longer because in the first option you do not need to do the last U ' as the pair is inserted in 11 moves while the second inserts the pair on the 12th move.
@rebuz_ya true!
Who else always get motivated by watching cubing videos and then go for some solves 🤣😁🤣😁
My biggest weakness is handling F2L cases in the back left and back right esp. with respect to finger tricks. Literally no one address this on UA-cam, this video included. They all only talk about the dead easy case of front left/right slots, or when they do talk about back slots, only do the cases with obvious finger tricks. No awkward cases are expounded upon.
my weakness in f2l is finding a pair of pieces to insert.
Also thank you so much for the last pair, i was really ineficcient at it wihout even knowing.
legends no need of this video because legends make algorithm like this
Hey guys, this is Austin
Thanks for making this video, I always prefer your f2l video's over anyone else's when learning f2l.
for the case at 2:30 if its not in its own slot you can do U sledgehammer into a 3 move insert. Btw this is only better if its in an adjacent slot.
3:20 sledgehammer (R' F R F') x3 works too and is better at preserving the top layer for oll
Your channel is probably the most helpful channel in getting better at cubing!
Brody your teaching is good .....but I think you should make your own secret method like other speedcubers....which may help you to break the world record....so you should start.......we arecan always with ya....
Me watching this video: Aa hah aa hah
Me during solve: WHAT THE FU©|{
I literally forgot every single move other than the infamous TRIPLE R U R' U'
Me only proplem in F2L is not scramble one that i solved
Also the tow edges that dont match right when the white face is up
very helpful tutorials!
When you're already sub-12 but still watches the video just to make sure your f2l is not shit LMAO
Mymind,Mycube=Totally Blown....(You're so good).
Im a sub-16 cuber and im stuck and like my sub-16s solves arent consistent,Thank you so much brody
1:45 Second Case: Edge in Slot, Corner on Top
2:50 Third Case: Edge in Slot, Corner on Top With White Up
For the last case that you showed, there is another algorithm. If you hold the cube with the slot you will insert the pair into on the right, and if there is no f2l pair on the left then you can put the pair that you will do on the top left and do the algorithm, L' U L R U R' U2. Then you insert. This also pairs the corner and edge.
My weakness is find the a pair when i lose my track, and do fast turning. (But that's kinda normal, i'm just one month at cubing)
For the case at 2:58 you can basically do any trigger. Even three sledgehammers
Everytime Brody does and F2L trick he gets an OLL AND a PLL skip. How does he do it? ;) Great video as usual!
@Blue Fox It was tongue in cheek sorry :) But thanks for the technique I'll definitely try it out. Have a great day.
my biggest f2l weakness is everything about it
Excellent video. I just have to study these and break my bad habits
Searching the edge and the corner is my weakness in F2L
Very helpful. Thx
you can also do 3 sledgehammers to orient the last edges different
that orients the corners differently, but the edges will have the same orientation. I actually mentioned triple sledge in my OLL skip F2L cases video: ua-cam.com/video/ZgWixBhjJD4/v-deo.html
BrodytheCuber ty
That just changes corners not edges
My biggest weakness in F2L is 1. Cube rotations 2. Not getting any f2l pair at first
Bro,keep up with the good explanation!!
My slowest F2L case by far is when the pieces are already setup for a three move insert. Takes me forever to notice it.
Definitely a very helpful video! Thank you. Added it to my collection of helpful tutorials!
I FIGURED OUT THE FIRST AND SECOND ONE WHEN I WAS LEARNING INTUITIVE F2L!!!!!
Nice... good for you... cubing is definitely for you... :)
FilipBozic RJ thanks 😂
Thank you so much now I can improve my f2l
My biggest weakness is not knowing where the hell my edge is
For the final case, I prefer to do a U from where you were holding the pair, then do an
F’ (U’ L’ U L) F, then insert the pair, which is just F’, then left inverse sexy move, then F.
i already know all of them :(
same
Weird flex but ok
These were awesome, i was actually doing about 3 of the bad ones you showed!
2:30 I do U then the sledeghammer (R' F R F') once and do R U R' and its already in place
Brody how do you track pieces efficiently?
My biggest weak in f2l is to look ahead
This dude really just called right trigger sexy move without the u’
I thought this would be helpful but I already use all of these algs. I was consistently surprised to see what “most people do”
Except for the last one maybe, lol
My weakness is look aheads!
I freaking love ur tutorials

It’s better to do (inverse sexy)x3 for the 3rd case, as if doesn’t require a regroup. You can do the triple sexy solution regripless, but this solution works better in my opinion.
Edit: See reply to this comment. I messed up.
Oops, I didn’t see the next part of the video. Ignore my comment, sorry.
You can delete your comment
Awesome video *-* rly helped much
2:20 you can do a u move and then sledgehammer
My biggest weakness in f2l is looking for the next case while I'm doing the one I'm on.
In my solves most of the time is spent looking for the pieces 😂
Super helpful!!
My biggest F2L weakness is the last pair. I'm not saying that I'm great with the first three, but I can usually get them pretty quickly and efficiently (for a non-pro), but that last pair? I'm always ending up rearranging, flipping, etc., just to try to get things into a good position and because it's the last pair and I don't have a lot of unsolved edges to play with, it often totally stalls my momentum.
this tutorial was very helpful and will likely melt my times. thanks 😀
5:45 I do
U2 R U R' U' R U' R' U2 R U' R'
For the triple sexy move insert you should use them interchangeably just varying because of hand position
My biggest weakness: understanding how I get the corner next to it's right edgepiece
you know my biggest weakness in F2L is probably the fact that i have been doing it wrong for a while now. So now i really have to think about what im doing when im solving it efficiently
Nice Video, Brody! For your next video, can you explain f2l for beginners (people doing solves inefficiently but pretty decent at cube solving)
Thanks Destructotz!! That's a pretty wide topic, but I'll get to it eventually :)
Okay :D
for the second one you can also do R U2 R' and then insert
