idk if it really matters because the V is the same amount of moves but in the first example solve you can do the green V which forces an l3e and has better fingertricks, RFGB L R' U' B
It's generally best to do the v on the bottom, unless it's really awkward to do so. In the video, I did V on front a lot to help people visualise things, but in your actual solves you should do it on the bottom generally.
Choosing a V colour is definitely something that gets easier as you practice and improve. You can start by choosing the colour that has the most solved edges or centres, but ideally you want to get to the point where you can see a colour on a scramble and quickly identify the best way to solve that. Then you can look at 2-3 colours that look promising at a first glance, see what solution you would do on them, and pick the best one. If you practice with the CStimer optimal solutions function, you will become familiar with common v patterns and solutions and will be able to quickly see them in inspection, making choosing a side easier.
@@tigersandcats Thanks. I watched your video yesterday, and I struggle with the V a lot. It seems much harder than cross on 3x3 to me. Of course I can see the most obvious Vs, like with two blocks that you just have to insert in the right order, but otherwise, I suck. Is it beneficial to just use the csTimer solvers and do the optimal solution, watching how the pieces move?
Yeah I think so, you don't even need to time the solves or anything, just go through a load of scrambles and use the CStimer tool to get used to how the pieces move and stuff. You'll eventually start to see common types of solutions and be able to recognize them and use them in your solves.
I average around low 5s on Pyra and the V was my main weakness, this will really help to improve. Thanks!
dude youre crazy 1.91 ao5
Did it help?
@@nikmrn yeah I average low 2 now 👍
Thank you. I was just looking for a V tutorial and you droped this. This was really helpful.
LMAO DUDE. I just decided to look for this and you came in clutch❤
so close to 1000 subs!! Keep Going!
thanks a lot, man. The trick is really amazing. My ao5 in wca is 3.78, it's still helpful. I hope I can use these methods later to get a sub3!

I actually just needed this. Thank you!
great video thanks
Am I supposed to be able to build V on bottom or is it better to do it on front and rotate? Thanks in advance

this is such a helpful video. tigersandcats cubing most underrated cubing channel
Underrated by who?
@@accesscrimea your mum
@@c00bmasteryour mum is underrated
V are the champions😂
What?
@@big58538 its like (we are the champions)
lol😂
Fantastic video! I also often struggle with choosing the V color, any tips on that?
