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!
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
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
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!
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
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.
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...
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.
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.
@@anythingeditz4259 This comment is a year old lol. I would like to say I have already done this but I gotta be honest, I just kinda gave up. Perhaps I will give it a shot sometime
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
@@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.
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!
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!!
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
This tutorial is really really good this was the only good tutorial I found on the RUclips first I was confused but now I crystal clear...Really really happy😇😇
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
I'm very late to this video, but my biggest problem was I was treating pieces at the start of a new cycle as solved when I shouldn't have been. Thank you J Perm! Also, I miss you.
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.
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.
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
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.
can you teach us F3L for 3x3?

J perm teach me f2l for 2x2

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
