    This was a fantastic watch; really cool to hear about both of your perspectives on this for the first time! I find it just awesome to see so many people giving this humble puzzle a try regardless of how they approach the solve.
    I also appreciate the input from you guys on my tutorial video as well, it really helps me see how people try to learn my method so I can better improve the explanations for the future. The majority of solvers seem to have said that it feels quite different from most other twisty puzzles they've tried, and so I can see how it's super difficult to wrap your head around at first. But they've also said that it becomes super fun to speedsolve once it clicks, as it did for me when I was first developing my techniques.
    Overall I'm really happy to see others have been enjoying the experience, and hopefully more people can too!

    The FTO is such a neat puzzle. I definitely plan on getting one of these!!

    I was determined to figure this out on my own and I’m glad to say that I did! I discovered a six piece, double three cycle involving four sides and was able to get down to only corners left after. I created one algorithm to swap the last two pieces on adjacent sides and it felt great since I’ve only ever made a couple on my own. To finish the corners was VERY tedious, but I solved it with no help and I loved it! I will not be solving it with my method going forward though as the corners at the end are extremely tedious and I can’t figure out a good algorithm to make it more efficient. I love cubing! Or in this case, octahedroning 😁🤦‍♂️

    Personally I read Ben's text tutorial first and I took about a week to learn it. After that, Ben released his video tutorial and that helped clear up a few bits that confused me.
    About two months later I got my first sub30 single and one month after that I got my first (and only) sub30 average.
    I can't speak to anyone else's experience, but I didn't find Ben's tutorials hard to understand; I found the turning/behaviour of the puzzle hard to understand

    • @ScotttheCubeGuy

    As an FTO beginner you should check out the FTO tutorial of SuperAntoniovivaldi. You learn to solve it with sledgehammer, sune and one more alg.

      Yeah, Bencisco method was too confusing for me, so I just used this method =>
      - Solve Edges
      - Solve Vertices using Commutator
      - Solve Centers by cycling 3 of them (this is the part where the SuperAntoniovivaldi tutorial really helped me)

  • @hatgirlgorillatag
    @hatgirlgorillatag 8 месяцев назад

    I really love figuring out how to solve puzzles on my own. That feeling you were talking about at 7:45 or so is definitely my thing.
    I loved figuring out the Super Ivy Cube, which I'm told is mechanically similar to the FTO, and I'm very excited about DianSheng's upcoming magnetic FTO.
    I've seen that you have the mf8 Master FTO for sale. Have you tried it out at all? I'd be interested to see a video comparing that with this, and maybe with the DianSheng too when it comes out.

    I really enjoy to see these speedcubers how they don't have idea about solving puzzles but only learning moves on top of their heads.
    Finding how to solve a puzzle is a goal not finding tutorial and memorize it and then to solve it fast.
    Anyways, it is just my opinion.
    Another great puzzle beside FTO is Master Skewb.
