Info: Each step makes you faster and you don't have to learn it all (except 1 & 2: you have to learn those). The advanced stuff may seem unnecessary because "it's just Ortega, why not learn CLL?" HOWEVER, if you're already amazing at 3x3, you can very quickly apply most of these techniques to 2x2, and it will be easier than learning CLL. Or, if you just hate learning 2x2 algorithms and you know you won't practice them much, then this tutorial can be very useful as you can apply this to 3x3 as well. And lastly, if you learn all of this, EVERYTHING here is useful for advanced 2x2 methods or 3x3 PLL prediction, so it doesn't hurt to learn it. Check the description for more!
It's been years since I practiced speedcubing. I was pretty active around 2014-2015, but I stopped because I got busy with work, just cubing enough since then so I didn't forget the algorithms I learned. Been getting back into it, learned the couple Ortega algs I didn't know, and I'm about a 7 second average. It's really fun and it opens up a lot more options for solving 2x2 if you know cfop as well
Wow thanks this helped me! I want to get fast at 2x2 but I don’t want to learn a bunch of algorithms and want to stick to my Ortega method so thanks for this video!!
Judging by the thumbnail, pro cubers are the ones that right after picking the cube up, tilt it slightly during inspection instead of looking at it straight on before moving on to inspect other pieces.
I've been cubing since I was nine, now I'm twelve. This video is really good and I can consistently get sub-10 now, but the problem is that my cube isn't magnetic and I got this on a vacation, and where I am now, you can't buy ANY good cubes. The non-magnetic cube is a big disadvantage, because for example, during a T-Perm, my cube locks because the layers are moving by themselves around my left ring finger. I've been trying to stop that, and it's been working so far, but the thing is it's really uncomfortable. I don't know how I will improve to sub-5 with this cube, but I will try my best, and I hope I can become a pro. Thank you J Perm for these amazing videos and for being my inspiration to start cubing. You are a true amazing person and teacher, and I find your tutorials way better than others. ❤
This is really helpful I have a comp coming up and it has 2x2 and I was going to try to learn all clear cases but I think this might help a little more since I'm so used to these cases
ive improvised my method subconsiously so much that i went from like 20s before i learnt ortega method, i used the normal rubiks cubes algorithms back then. and now my average is like 4-6s with my fastest time being like 3s
Thought 2 by 2 was easy and would be fun compared to 3 by 3 which is getting really hard now that I'm sub-20. (I also don't wanna grind out the OLL's yet for it.) So I decided to take a "break" and finally learn some 2 by 2. Not as easy to get good at as I thought, but I'm going to try to master ortega for 3 by 3 sake. I would like to eventually get CoLL so I can occasionally force a better PLL too. Your the only cuber I watch for tutorials because you're the only one that makes sense and has good video quality and upload schedule.
2x2 is very fun, I do a mix of cfop and Ortega depending on the scramble. I'm still learning all the 3x3 olls as well, I used to know them all but I've forgotten a lot over the years
1:45 no bars at the top one bar bottom 2:02 bar at top and none at bottom (front) 2:15 bar at top and none at bottom (back) 2:27 bar on top and bottom (back) 2:42 top solved, bar on left (T perm with modifications) 2:58 no bars on top (better algorithm than Y perm) 3:17 top solved, no bar on bottom Some PBL stuff...
I am back and i see he already showed that,i am 2x as fast now by the way thanks J Perm your tutorials are the easiest to understand and learn in my opinion
1:50 If you hold the bar for this case on the left and do R2 U' R2' U R2 U' R2' U R2 it solves it, its a very easy alg to remember and it has no cube rotations. It's also just kinda fun.
2:10 This is how I do the case with bar at the top and no bar at the bottom: Hold the bar in your direction and do R U´ L U2 R´ U L´ (and you have to maybe do a last turn of the U face.) And as an advanced Ortega solver I just can tell: This video is amazing! (And as I see now nearly 2 years old already. But anyway^^)
0:45 interesting. Never seen anyone predict pbl before. Usually it is more common to streigth up know eg. But I have practiced OLL prediction on easy cases.
While true, there is at least one case ("H") where the 3x3 alg is 11 moves, but there is a 5 move alternative that only works for 2x2 because it would mess up middle layer edges. I think it is worth learning that one at least.
I agree with everything you say in this video. I average low 2 with only CLL and Ortega and all of these tips are great ways for people to become fast with little algorithm knowedge
Timestamps for more PBL algs: 1:45 bar in bottom back 2:04 bar in top front 2:15 bar in top back 2:28 two bars in back 2:43 solved top, bar in bottom left 2:58 bottom solved 3:17 top solved
Day 1: Trying to Learn this method, average 1minute and 30 seconds Day 2: Still practicing, I have to read the algorithms while solving First Week: Getting better, Averaging 45 seconds Second Week: Memorized most of the algorithms, averaging 30 seconds Third Week: Memorized all the algorithms, my best single is 1.87 (PBL Skip) and now average 17.11 seconds :) just keep practicing and stay motivated
@@TuxicToiger hey it’s been a while, i averaged 6 second now, but you really just have to keep reading the algorithms for a little bit, but once you feel comfortable with it, don’t immediately jump into solving with it, try to do the algorithm without reading and if you can’t then go as far as you can until you don’t remember and rehearse the part you don’t remember, once you get that down you just have to keep practicing it
For the case where you have a bar on bottom and no bar on top another Alg you could use is like a square 1 alg it goes R2 U R2 U’ R2 U R2 U’ R2 btw you hold the bar on the left and doesn’t matter where the top layer is because you can do an auf
Hey jperm! I figured out that you can use a jperm instead of a tperm to switch two cornerson a 2x2, with the same result. you probably already knew this but i just wanted to point that out. have a great day!
I just started learning Ortega, it will definitely take me a while to remember all the algorithms and what to use in what scenerio, but with enough practice I'm sure I'll get it
I jut finished watching this video and went to do a couple solves on my 2x2 and then I got this scramble: R’ U F2 R’ F2 U2 F2 R’ U’. I predicted my OLL which would be solved and decided to spend the rest of my inspection predicting my bars in which I found that they too would be solved. During inspection, I did z’ y2 and had the red side on the bottom to start. I did L U2 L and took a bit to recognize my AUF which looking back I should’ve done during inspection as well. Either way this got me a new PB of 1.776
My pb with normal ortega is 1.932 seconds im now learning advanced. Also my fav puzzle is actually 2x2 and i hope to get the world record one day but i just know thats a bit to far, the solution of the scramble was u' (j perm) the scramble is unknown since my brother did about 30 moves without me looking
I pretty much have up everything except 2x2 for about 2 weeks because I got obsessed. (I'm now about 20 seconds slower at 3x3, so don't try this at home 😂)
I just found in you do by two method first make the first layer after that put every corner in the last layer in the correct spot and truth ortica method
There is an alternative alg for solved top and no bar down using the regular Y perm F R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R F R2 F2. It's the same Y perm alg ending with F R2 F2 instead of F'.
no, there are more in the description. However, the next method after Ortega is CLL which has a lot of algs to learn. Many people requested how to get faster with Ortega since there are very few algs
Info:
Each step makes you faster and you don't have to learn it all (except 1 & 2: you have to learn those).
The advanced stuff may seem unnecessary because "it's just Ortega, why not learn CLL?"
HOWEVER, if you're already amazing at 3x3, you can very quickly apply most of these techniques to 2x2, and it will be easier than learning CLL. Or, if you just hate learning 2x2 algorithms and you know you won't practice them much, then this tutorial can be very useful as you can apply this to 3x3 as well.

(And as I see now nearly 2 years old already. But anyway^^)
using this method, and doing it for about a month , i went from 15 second to 4 seconds! thx!
The easiest thing I could say to get sub-4 with ortega is to plan your OLL in inspection, and have good TPS
what if my pbl is absolute garbage
I’m sub 4 but I usually just plan the face and but can’t see the OLL in inspection.
0:45 interesting. Never seen anyone predict pbl before. Usually it is more common to streigth up know eg. But I have practiced OLL prediction on easy cases.
a tip for all the cubers:
2x2 oll can also be done like 3x3 2 look oll
you just need to look at the cases and find resemblance between em
While true, there is at least one case ("H") where the 3x3 alg is 11 moves, but there is a 5 move alternative that only works for 2x2 because it would mess up middle layer edges. I think it is worth learning that one at least.

What do you average?
@@antoniomolina3612 😂i cant speed cube
10 sec min
around 20 sec average
If you think this is extremely easy, he is using three sets of algorithms called cll, eg, and eg2 which adds up to 180 different algorithms
I just finished learning full Ortega earlier today but I'm still slow at 1 algorithm so I'm around sub 7 or 8 right now. I will get there trust me.
Without inspection i can do 10 sec but i have a slow 2x2 (a V-Cube...)
