Just got my 4:20 min pr on 4x4 6:23 min pr on my 5x5 14:02 minutes PR on my 6x6 All at once just because of your tutorial It's much easier and faster than the beginner method.
I can't help you with Patreon right now (credit card problems) but I'm so happy for see that a lot of people is helping you. Thanks to they, and thanks to you for this video and for everything! :D
Thanks for this video, I always had doubts about how to properly use free slice without breaking the centers and thanks to your video I now understand perfectly! Greetings from Costa Rica!
I use Yau 5 on 5x5 and 6x6. Edges are easier and cross is easier. 6x6 L4E is also very fun with Yau 5, but I would still recommend reduction for 6x6 unless you know specifically what your strengths and weaknesses are (basically if your lookahead during edges, and your 3x3 stage cross is worse than the rest of your solve). On 7x7 the middle bar is annoying and there are more slice moves, so Yau 5 is a bit harder.
For me I stagnated at 3:10 for very long with redux. Then I switched to Yau5 and managed to sub 2:50. Then I got the AoShi GTS M and went down to 2:37-2:38. For 5x5 I was using Yau even before I knew 3-2-3 and freeslicing existed and practiced the method for 2-3 years before picking up 6x6, probably why I was so much used to Yau than redux.
Thanks for this video. I've always wondered what the "proper" method is for the edges. I've developed my own method and was surprised when someone talked about parity as I never have to deal with parity. But I'm sure I could do much quicker if I learned the parity algorithm and other aspects. Here is my edge method: First, just move any edge I see that has white in it to the center edges, aligned with the white face in the same direction so they can be sliced together. Once I have enough white faces, start finishing edges and moving them off, at the same time, start bringing in the yellow edges in the same way. This will eventually finish all 8 edges. Now, I realign the centers and start getting pairs of edge pieces on each edge by slicing on one end and then flipping them into position. Once all 4 last edges have 2 correct, I slice and rearrange edges until I can simply do a slice and fix all 4 edges. Unfortunately at this point, I often end with the centers offset and have to do a bit of commuting the edges into place. I feel really good about the first 8 edges, but think that I could use some of your methods to help with the final 4. (I currently solve in about 5 minutes each solve.)
For 5x5, I have developed this habit of inserting edges from the bottom instead of doing a z2, not sure if it's good or not but I've found it's easier on lookahead for me
For basic reduction on any cube, insert the 1st 4 edges into the bottom so that you don’t have to look on the bottom after that to make lookahead a lot easier.
Joseph Simone I said to just put them into the bottom to get them out of the way, not actually specifically solve the ones for the cross, and even if you do, it’s still not Yau because for Yau, you solve & insert the first 3 edges before L4C & maybe also solve the 4th one and move it out of the way, and then you solve/insert the last cross edge upon finishing L4C. Mon/03/29/2021 at 32:13 EDT
I am going to use yau 5 because I really like the way yau is set up on 4x4. It has not worked well but now that know how to do it correctly I will start using it
At 0:58, is there a particular reason you wouldn't just do R2 to get that piece lined up, and then slice its layer twice, instead of doing the whole flipping alg? I've been solving big cubes for many years but haven't tried to improve any of my reduction algs until recently.
I have an idea for a big cube method that really only works on 4x4 and 5x5. Make the white center on the bottom, then make center bars for the e slice centers, but before you put it in, attach a cross edge or wing piece so you make the cross at the same time
Have you ever given standard Yau a shot (aka not solving and inserting two adjacent "pairs" before L4E) and if so, what are your thoughts on that vs Yau5?
what I do now is only insert obvious pairs that are in the top layer already, sometimes just 1, usually 0. I prefer having more freedom to make yellow edges as well, and I think Yau is faster for most cases. one big problem about yau5 is if the f2l pairs are hard to make and you end up doing so many moves that now every slot includes a solved edge. in that case you have to do even more moves to put unsolved edges into the slots again.
I’ve been doing 5x5 for a while now and am going to buy a magnetic one. The ones that I am looking into are the MGC and the Valk. Which one of those are better, or would you recommend another?
YAAAAAAAAAAAAY A NEW VIDEO (I am now considering to do this every video cuz I love them) also have you tried the yuxin huanglong 3x3 m and how does it compare to the gts2m and the valk. love your videos!!!😊😊😊😊😊
Hey, I noticed that your flip algorithm was R U R' F R' F' R and Chris Olson did make a video on this but there is another edge flip algorithm which is (R' F R F') (R U' R') I find this alg to be quicker and easier to finger trick.
Your videos are awesome! I want to make videos like yours - what do you recommend for a filming setup (including camera + lighting + tech models). LOVE YOUR VIDS!
thanks! use as much light as possible, my lighting setup is the ceiling light + natural light from the window. night time filming is fine but my light isnt super bright. for camera i use my samsung galaxy s7 phone camera
Hi i am beginner cuber and 2 days back i just bought a 2x2. My personal best is 6.79s and average is 17.29. I was just asking that is that a good result for a beginner ? And my average record of 3x3 is 1:19s but i solve it on a regular cube like not a speed cube? So is that a fine speed ? And i am using cfop method.. I started solving it with beginner method but now i have started using cfop method and I am soon going to buy a speed cube. Please give me your opinions and tell me is that a fine record? And is a qiyi warrior W a good cube for beginners ? Like that’s the only budget cube available near me. And i am also buying a 5x5 qiyi cube. Please give me your suggestions. I have asked from many cubers but none of them have replied me.
don't worry about what time is fine, its not like if I said "good" you would stop practicing, or if I said "bad" you would instantly get faster. if you're happy with it then that's good, and if not then work hard to improve it.
Actually i live in pakistan. And right now only qiyi warrior w is available in my area. And if i ordered from speedcubeshop so it will cost me double.. so that’s why i am buying a qiyi warrior W

Hey J Perm, are you going to buy the YuXin HuangLong 3x3 M? Cause when I got it, I get a lot of better times and somehow using this cube my look ahead has improve. :)
I'm 2 years late lol Anyway if you want to get started with 5x5, get the meilong m if you want the cheapest. If you want better ones get the yj mgc at 22 dollars. You prob already got one lol
if the solved ones are BL and FR, do an R' move to store the FR pair away. then you can do edge pairing normally and then do R at the end to bring it back
How did you set up your wushuang? The outer layers on mine are smooth but tend to catch a lot while doing 3x3 stage which makes turning fast a big pain :(
for cross edge you can make it early on yau4, which is what I actually do now. it's about the same speed. but for f2l pairs, 3-2-3 edge pairing is better than free slice on 4x4 so it doesn't work
Just got my
4:20 min pr on 4x4
6:23 min pr on my 5x5
14:02 minutes PR on my 6x6
All at once just because of your tutorial
It's much easier and faster than the beginner method.
After cubing with 5x5, 4x4 feels like 3x3 and 3x3 feels like 2x2
Agreed, and after solving 7x7, 5x5 is like not a cube
So... what does 2x2 feel lile? 1x1?
Then 1x1 feels like 0x0
Btw after i touched a mastermorphix now im wondering why my 5x5 is square lol
MarvelGamers - Gaming 0x0 feels like -1x-1

WHY YOUR TUTORIALS SO GODD?
Lol there is a comment above you saying the same thing
The fliping alg : R' F R F' R U' R' is better because has no regrips
Caio Almeida Martins I
agree
Agree
It's also easier to memorize because it's just sledgehammer + insert (R U' R').
this is good on 5x5 because no regrips, but on even larger cubes the one I showed is better to avoid left handed moves.
J Perm you are the best cuber ever
I don't have a 5x5 I solved a 5x5 on my phone. Great video . I will rewatch this video next year when I wanna start 5x5
THANK YOU so much this helped my average drop by almost 20 seconds this si the best video for 5x5 ever
Amazing jperm......u r the best RUclipsr ( youcuber)😃😃👍🏻👍🏻
Lol after a 5x5 session and you go back to your 3x3, you feel like it is so tiny and smol
For 5x5, I have developed this habit of inserting edges from the bottom instead of doing a z2, not sure if it's good or not but I've found it's easier on lookahead for me
For instance I would do a half x rotation and do something like F' R F R' to bring an edge up
I think it's good since you can lookahead faster.

Wow. Free slicing is actually pretty easy. Thanks man 👍🏽
For basic reduction on any cube, insert the 1st 4 edges into the bottom so that you don’t have to look on the bottom after that to make lookahead a lot easier.
Isn't that the same thing as Yau? Starting with a partial cross to get all non white pieces on the sides and top row for easy search?
Joseph Simone I said to just put them into the bottom to get them out of the way, not actually specifically solve the ones for the cross, and even if you do, it’s still not Yau because for Yau, you solve & insert the first 3 edges before L4C & maybe also solve the 4th one and move it out of the way, and then you solve/insert the last cross edge upon finishing L4C.

Doing an R2 will only work sometimes, it’s best to get into the habit of doing the flipping alg
After solving 5*5 for a hour if we get 3*3 to hands it feels very primary and easy!!
I use Redux, and sometimes I make the white edges first and store them in the white center, so i can skip the cross in 3x3 stage.
So that's Yau4 but on 5x5
I have an idea for a big cube method that really only works on 4x4 and 5x5. Make the white center on the bottom, then make center bars for the e slice centers, but before you put it in, attach a cross edge or wing piece so you make the cross at the same time
That's a cool idea

Hey J Perm, are you going to buy the YuXin HuangLong 3x3 M? Cause when I got it, I get a lot of better times and somehow using this cube my look ahead has improve. :)
yes :) i'm excited
You should use an alternative flipping alg such as R' F R F' R U' R'
Have you heard about the weilong gts3m and will you review it once it comes out
yeah i have, the design looks interesting and i'm kind of skeptical haha
1:00 why not just flip it using R2?
because then youd have to do a bit more when your to align the centers again but i would do r2 there also i think it's in the end quicker
what do you do if the last 2 edges are like the m" u2 m move? because it will always break the back edge
I’m new to 5x5 and I don’t know which cube to buy or method to use. Any recommendations?
I'm 2 years late lol
Anyway if you want to get started with 5x5, get the meilong m if you want the cheapest. If you want better ones get the yj mgc at 22 dollars.
You prob already got one lol
What do you do if the edges solved for the f2l are across from each other
if the solved ones are BL and FR, do an R' move to store the FR pair away. then you can do edge pairing normally and then do R at the end to bring it back
Can you do the redo cube

dylan is colour neutral on yau5 :o Coincidence, i am too
What about using "normal" Yau on 5x5 not Yau5, so skipping the first-2-F2l-edges part.
that's what I do now, I think they're around the same speed if done well but yau5 is harder to do well
is free slice like 3-2-3?
Why can you make last cross edge and first 2 pairs early for yau5 but not yau4?
And why isn't there 3-2-3 on yau5?
for cross edge you can make it early on yau4, which is what I actually do now. it's about the same speed. but for f2l pairs, 3-2-3 edge pairing is better than free slice on 4x4 so it doesn't work
no 3-2-3 on 5x5+ because the edges can be in too many locations, and 1 slice can't pair an entire edge at once
@@JPerm thanks. I don't actually have a 5x5 but I might get one soon.
