J Perm, I recently went to my first competition and got a 16.07 average. I have been cubing for about 9 months and have progressed so much thanks to you and your videos. You probably won't see this, but I just wanted to thank you for helping the cubing community in so many ways.
Hoooly cow how did you get so fast in just 9 months?!?!?! Wow I started cubing last 2020 and only now I got a 14 pb single but my average is 20 - 17 seconds
@@JudeStradtner I do full oll and pll and a bit of advanced f2l but I’m struggling a little with look ahead. Can you give me advice how to practice look ahead faster?
Hello jperm. Your videos have been remarkably helpful to me. Because of your videos, now I'm on the road to sub 15. I would have never broken past the sub 40 barrier if it wasn't for your videos. You reach and influence on the cubing community is immense, and many, many cubers have you to thank for your incredible videos. Thanks, JPerm.
I recently got to sub 15 avg- a big tip which I don't think was mentioned in this video is to solve F2L pairs into the back slots. Once I started doing this my lookahead improved dramatically and I went from around 18 seconds avg to 15 quickly. (my average cross+F2L time went from 12/13 seconds to 9/10 with this). I actually use almost none of these tips (i.e. none of: memorized move/grip efficient f2l algs, planning a pair in inspection, non-standard algorithm sets, practicing untimed solves, color neutrality), so these things aren't necessary to get to sub 15, but seems like they will definitely get you there if you are stuck. Thanks for this video- I'm excited to use these tips to get even faster.
yeah I agree , like 2 months ago I used to average 21, someone told me that and at the beginning my times got slower, but then I just turned into a sub 20 solver, its a really good tip
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I took your advice, and then worked on it for around a week when I averaged high 15s to low 16s, and now I am around 14 sec after using your tutorial.
jperm ive been studying f2l since ive been doing cfop and i dont know all the algoritms for oll and pll i just got my first sub 20 and i am estatic, you are hands down one of the best cfop teachers on youtube and you really helped me with my cubing journy ive been watching your videos since ive started, thankyou jperm:)
thanks J Perm, because of you i'm averaging 13-14 seconds, in only 6 months, and my pb is 7.75 seconds, without u i wouldn't be that fast thank you so much)
Efficiency is the best and lookahead!!! I had a 17.43 solve with a pll skip and a 12.75 solve with good f2l rotationless efficient and i didn't have a skip :)
F2L efficiency helps a lot.I used to average 27,and then I learnt some efficient solutions for a lot of the cases and just practiced them in solves for a week,and my average became sub 25.I average 22-23 now,and dropping because I am getting better at looking ahead to the solutions.
great stuff man I'm currently in the 14-15 sec range and this will help 1 quick tip the pair you got at 9:31 could have been done in 7 moves (R' F R F') (L' U' L) it's a sludgehammer insert case ( I just like to use sludgehammer its so fun) 1 down side to that alg is booth the F Face slots half to be open but when they are its verry fast and regrip less
MATH. There are 8 ways you can get a J perm (2 J perms, 4 different angles), so each JLL alg would work for 8 different 1LLL cases (approximately, since I'm ignoring exceptions due to rotational symmetry). Most OLL cases have 72 1LLL cases, so most OLL cases would have 72/8=9 JLL algorithms. 9 algs per OLL * 57 OLLs = 513 algs but due to rotational symmetry this number might be smaller and due to me the math could be wrong.
Thanks for tips. I'm currently sub18 and it took me years to become sub20. When I reached sub20, I've realized I can be sub15, which I thought I could never do.

Video Suggestion: You could make a video setting up a cube the way you like it (lube, tensions, stickers, etc). Like you could buy a new cube like the GTS 2 and set it up using your way of lubing and stuff. Maybe also including some tips and things to avoid doing when setting up a cube. RUclips right now is saturated with cube unboxings and solving tutorials like this one (both are good) but it would be cool to see you set up a cube to your liking :P just a random thought :).
j perm: talking about better f2l solutions "every f2l case can be solved in 8 moves or less." *five seconds later* "with the exception of this case, and this case, and this, and--
Hi, I came from BrodyTheCuber's "How to be sub-20" video, and I finally managed to achieve that. I will be commenting my progression of becoming sub-15, in hopes that this video would help me. Currently I avg 20s with a PR of 11.94s. Edit 1: Today's December 4, 2023, and I managed to beat my record (only a little bit) which is 11.78s. Most of my solves I get around sub-20, but I guess my average ranges from sub 18-20s. Edit 2: Today's December 7, 2023, just three days after my new pr and I got a new single of 11.408s. Avg still ranges from 18-20 but there have been times where I consistently get 15 or 17s. Edit 3: Today's December 15, 2023, about a week after my previous pr, and I finally got a 10-sec solve (New PB) which is 10.38s. I'm now averaging 18s and it wont be long (hopefully) until I manage to average 15s. Edit 4: Todays February 12, 2024, and About the statement I made in Edit 3, well, it took me about 2 months just to be averaging sub 17 and a pb ao100 of 16.41 🥲. Not much has improved in the preceding months since I had to manage both my time in school and in cubing. Fortunately, I did practice 3x3 OH and got a pb of 17.59 and average of sub 27. Additionally, I'm also currently practicing 3x3 BLD. Though I do have some good news for regular 3x3. I now have a pb of 8.66s! and an average of sub-17, so I guess it's nice. (P.s. for now I think I won't be focusing on training in regular 3x3, I think I'll focus my time on BLD and OH more, but I'll still practice on the normal 3x3. See you again next time. Edit 5: Today is March 6, 2024, and a lot has changed since the past month. For 3x3, I managed to get a pb of 7.9s (though this is only thanks to a smartcube scramble, so technically, my pb single should be 8.6s) as well as a pb ao50 of 14.80. While I am technically "sub-15" in that category, I'm still practicing until I finally get an ao100 of sub-15. Though I did manage to get close to it at 15.11s. In other words, I think I am now averaging around sub-15-16 seconds. My guess is that in the month of march or april, I would be able to finally get sub-15, and move on to the next step. Wish me luck in that. Edit 6: Today's March 8, 2024 and I have finally reached sub-15. My next goal would be sub-10, so wish me luck on that. From now on I will be commenting on Jperm "Tips to be sub-10" video until I've reached that. Btw, my pb is still 8.66 I've gone a long way since septemeber 2023 where I was just sub-25 ar the time. Im hoping at the very least, id be able to achieve sub-12 or sub-10 before my 1 year celebration. (Speedcubing for ke started on around august-september, so its been around 6 and a half months since I started that).
It's currently May 28, 2024, and looking back at this comment, I'm glad I didn't stop at the sub-20 mark and continued to reach the sub-15 mark at the time. As of now, I average around sub-12 seconds though it's inconsistent but most of my solves do in fact get me to 12s or even lower than that. To add on to this, my current pb is 8.04s (not much but the frequency of getting 9's and 10's are much higher than before). Hopefully I'd be able to reach sub-10 before the complete 1 year ends (It's currently the 9th month now)
I'm having trouble with imagining the pieces where they'll go and to predict what F2L case will appear when I make the cross during the inspection time. Can you please give a tip? I'll really appreciate it!❤😊
it'll come over time. something you can do is find a peice on the cube, then try to track it while you randomly turn the cube really fast. it'll help you build intuition for how peices move around the cube.
I am extremely happy. I ordered a GTS V2 and I was spending my last days with me Thunderclap V1, when this happened. PB SINGLE. My first ever sub-11 it was 10.99, but still a sub-11 :-)
suggestion for a video----- when your recognizing your pll what is is that you see exactly on those two sides that make you think ohh hey this is this case (to help with 2 sided pll recognition) such as cues that you see to make you think that ohh hey there is this in such and such location( like two opposite colored corner stickers you would know there's headlights on the other side if the adjacent corner stickers do not also have opposite colors)
I agree with one of your last statements about sticking it out and figuring out your alg even if it ruins your time. I'm in the middle of learning COLL and you really notice the improvement for learning new algs when you actually recognize and execute them in a real solve and not just repeating it over and over. Also, would you be able to do a video on x-crosses? More specifically, WHEN it's a good idea to do them. I already know how to form an x-cross, but everyone says only do them if they're easy. Well... what's an easy x-cross and what isn't? I've never seen any examples. Granted I'm not hardcore practicing x-crosses because I know I'm not there yet (I have a lot on my plate with learning COLL and becoming color neutral being ~22 second average dual color neutral between white/yellow), but it would be great to have that resource.
I like what you said around 12:34 about forcing yourself to practice what you want to improve. I could do F2L "intuitively" but it was so slow and frustrating that I kept going back to beginner. Eventually, my beginner method got down to just below a min average and I thought, ok it's time to REALLY tackle F2L (and eventually full OLL/PLL, etc.). I watched yours and cubeskills vids on intuitive F2L which got me to where it's not TOO painfully slow, but my solves took a dive all the way back down to 2mins, sometimes 2:30 😩. But I'm just FORCING myself to keep working on it. I'm going through your F2L alg sheet and really trying to study the algs and simultaneously UNDERSTAND what they do while also getting them down to where they're automatic. I also decided to go color neutral as well, so that added to the slowdown of my solves. I've been trying to decide whether I should step back from that and maybe instead of going cold turkey on color neutral, try to maybe focus on one color each week or something. I've got my opposite color patterns down but adjacent colors are more confusing since the relationships can turn upside down. Which in turn slows down F2L recognition. So I'm sometimes literally having to talk to myself while solving and point to the cubies in desperation like, "OK, WHERE's the red/yellow edge? Looking for the red/yellow edge!". I'm insane but I just love the cube. So yeah, thanks for all the great content!
I felt a similar thing in terms of searching for pieces when doing color neutrality, as well as edges on big cubes being pretty hard to find, so I know what you mean! if the task of solving properly is difficult for your brain, it means that pure practice is the best way to improve
Honestly I think this was the best video made by any youtuber on how to get sub 15, especially because up you talked about regrips which was huge problem in my solves also talked about practice tips I have never seen such a good video thanks a lot man. You gained another sub man
+Bhaskar Parvatha Thanks for the sub! I think a lot of other videos are equally good if not better (like cyoubx's sub-x videos), because they focus over different things which are the core of what is important. The reason I chose the points I chose was because I feel like a lot of advice has gotten repeated since those videos were released, and getting fresh advice on other things is also important :)
1. Solve any F2L case in 8 moves or less (with some exceptions for 11 moves max) 2. Drill algs to be more consistent (ID problem points and fix them) 3. Reduce F2L pauses and regrips (this invloves learning some unnatural fingertricks) 4. Use unlim inspec to find 1 pair (with enough practice u can do this sub15, maybe ease in by only tracking one corner or one edge) 5. Practice with untimed (not necessarily slow) solves (just dont pause, if you do try to figure out why) Bonus: Learn full OLL No pauses most important Practice things that will make you better (screw time) Set a goal and don't let yourself get in the way of it
I have been sub 20 for so long(avg around 18) and i think its finally time to improve. Im starting my journey to become sub 15 today. I hope i can do this!
omg this video is very helpful! thank you so much! F2L during inspection and pauses are my biggest problems atm, Im sub 25, but this can still help me get through the 20 barrier
7 months later.... I can finally say I’m sub 15. This video helped me get there. I’ve been cubing since thanksgiving 2015. When this video was posted I averaged about 16.5.
I'm not sure if this is a kinda bad way to solve it, but at 1:49 if you're facing it from the blue side (or whatever side is on the top block), if you have the slot in the front right and the corner right above it as he does at the time stamp, then you can do M U Rw U' Rw' U' M'. Advantages include that it preserves all the other f2l slots (as well as a possible pair in the back left, but that's rarely gonna come up), and it's only 7 moves. Disadvantages include that there's a regrip with either the ring or pinky finger to do the M move at the start, as well as to move back from the M' at the end, and just the general truth that most CFOP solvers aren't used to doing that many M or wide L R moves. The algorithm also works in the other slots, with front left being M U' Lw' U Lw U M', back right being M' U' Rw' U Rw U M, and back left being M' U Lw U' Lw' U' M. In all cases, make sure that the edge is either in the front or back, with its top sticker matching the center of the relevant front or back side, as well as ensuring that the corner is positioned above its slot. Also keep in mind that the two back algorithms don't have any regrips but have really awful finger trips towards the end of them. Again I'm not sure how good these are, so if anyone has feedback on this long comment on a 5 year old video that would be very appreciated!
This is actually considered to be the best algorithm for the Front right and front left cases. I haven’t tried the back cases, so I’ll experiment and get back to you on what I think about those.
Ngl this video taught me to become sub 15 within 2 months and a bit, I do get the occasional 17-19 but that’s me doing 2 look oll and locking up on PLLs I need to find better algs for. Still on the road to going sub 10 by the end of quarantine, wish me the best 😆
for the case at 9:20 you can do R' U to build the pair first, then F2 U' R' F D' to solve the cross, then y U L U' L' to insert the pair. you could also execute it as R' U F2 U' R' F E R U' R'
Listen its easier you do f2l +(cros in 10 sec) oll in 2 and pll in 2.so you get a 14 and by practice the f2l to get it in 7-8 sec you get near to 12-13 and with working on algorithms you might get 10-11
i still remember watching this video 1 month ago and thinking "why am i watching this? this is way to advanced for me" i was just getting a few sub 30 solves at the time and now my average is sub 20...insane
Hey J Perm, what additional tips can u give to someone who recently became sub 16? I know full OLL and PLL. My cross is 1.5-2 seconds, OLLs and PLLs are all sub 2 except for 7 PLLs and a few OLLs which are sub 1. ruclips.net/video/7UjQiTaxIdA/видео.html here's a link to a video where i get a 14 second solve. Please Critique.
Imran Mazhar yeah definitely practise f2l and cross transition as im basically sub 15 with 2 look oll and full pll , cross should be about a second since its one looked
I have a question... I drilled all my algs but when it comes to the real solve, V Perms are making me SLOW down. I timed my Execution on v perms (.61 avg) but in real solves, execution time is like 1-2 secs.. any tips to improve this? I have a smooth turning style and a good speedcube V perm alg I use most: R U2 R' D R U' R U' R U R2 D R' U' R D2 Sometimes: R' U R' U' y' (is that the correct notation?) R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R F
i have a hard time believing you average .61 on V perms, chris olson and drew brads specifically use a faster than standard V perm to time it and can barely get sub-1 for a good single. anyway, v perm execution in a solve is supposed to take 1-2 seconds. it's a very hard algorithm and i doubt anybody averages sub-1 for v perm during a solve.
At 2.55 at given orientation you can insert that pair without rotation by doing U' first and then "(r U R' U R U2) B r' " Which is less than 11 moves and without rotation.. Hope this helps
I saw that a long time ago but never got around to learning it since I was learning other stuff at the time, so I might use it in the future but I'll have to test it for a while first.
Hi. I’m am using your advice from the video. I am also trying to to learn some new algorithms to get faster. My issue is, I average about 16 seconds with 2-look OLL and about 3/4 of the way of full PLL. So I feel ahead, but at the same time, behind. I am not improving as fast as I used to. My question is, what should I learn next? Thanks for reading 😁

Yo J perm you should come up with an oll subset. JLL. Jperm last layer. Algs for each edge oriented last layer that always gives a j perm.
MATH.
There are 8 ways you can get a J perm (2 J perms, 4 different angles), so each JLL alg would work for 8 different 1LLL cases (approximately, since I'm ignoring exceptions due to rotational symmetry).
Most OLL cases have 72 1LLL cases, so most OLL cases would have 72/8=9 JLL algorithms. 9 algs per OLL * 57 OLLs = 513 algs but due to rotational symmetry this number might be smaller and due to me the math could be wrong.
J Perm lol
Randomaxis vsp I did at my school (y7) super selective grammar school lol
Might as well learn ZBLL
+Blindsighted JLL would have ~1/8 as many algs because there are 8 J Perm states but only 1 solved state ;)

cubing since January this year and I'm sub 15, practice is very important
Video Suggestion: You could make a video setting up a cube the way you like it (lube, tensions, stickers, etc). Like you could buy a new cube like the GTS 2 and set it up using your way of lubing and stuff. Maybe also including some tips and things to avoid doing when setting up a cube. RUclips right now is saturated with cube unboxings and solving tutorials like this one (both are good) but it would be cool to see you set up a cube to your liking :P just a random thought :).
+Eric James Thanks! that's a good suggestion, noted.

Yeah
There are 160 ish f2l cases and there only around 10 or so exceptions

Your voice is so chill. This is exactly what I need! Thanks! I normally average around 19 seconds now so yeah thanks :D
Hi, I came from BrodyTheCuber's "How to be sub-20" video, and I finally managed to achieve that. I will be commenting my progression of becoming sub-15, in hopes that this video would help me. Currently I avg 20s with a PR of 11.94s.
Edit 1: Today's December 4, 2023, and I managed to beat my record (only a little bit) which is 11.78s. Most of my solves I get around sub-20, but I guess my average ranges from sub 18-20s.
Edit 2: Today's December 7, 2023, just three days after my new pr and I got a new single of 11.408s. Avg still ranges from 18-20 but there have been times where I consistently get 15 or 17s.
Edit 3: Today's December 15, 2023, about a week after my previous pr, and I finally got a 10-sec solve (New PB) which is 10.38s. I'm now averaging 18s and it wont be long (hopefully) until I manage to average 15s.
Edit 4: Todays February 12, 2024, and About the statement I made in Edit 3, well, it took me about 2 months just to be averaging sub 17 and a pb ao100 of 16.41 🥲. Not much has improved in the preceding months since I had to manage both my time in school and in cubing. Fortunately, I did practice 3x3 OH and got a pb of 17.59 and average of sub 27. Additionally, I'm also currently practicing 3x3 BLD. Though I do have some good news for regular 3x3. I now have a pb of 8.66s! and an average of sub-17, so I guess it's nice. (P.s. for now I think I won't be focusing on training in regular 3x3, I think I'll focus my time on BLD and OH more, but I'll still practice on the normal 3x3. See you again next time.
Edit 5: Today is March 6, 2024, and a lot has changed since the past month. For 3x3, I managed to get a pb of 7.9s (though this is only thanks to a smartcube scramble, so technically, my pb single should be 8.6s) as well as a pb ao50 of 14.80. While I am technically "sub-15" in that category, I'm still practicing until I finally get an ao100 of sub-15. Though I did manage to get close to it at 15.11s. In other words, I think I am now averaging around sub-15-16 seconds. My guess is that in the month of march or april, I would be able to finally get sub-15, and move on to the next step. Wish me luck in that.
Edit 6: Today's March 8, 2024 and I have finally reached sub-15. My next goal would be sub-10, so wish me luck on that. From now on I will be commenting on Jperm "Tips to be sub-10" video until I've reached that. Btw, my pb is still 8.66
I've gone a long way since septemeber 2023 where I was just sub-25 ar the time. Im hoping at the very least, id be able to achieve sub-12 or sub-10 before my 1 year celebration. (Speedcubing for ke started on around august-september, so its been around 6 and a half months since I started that).
It's currently May 28, 2024, and looking back at this comment, I'm glad I didn't stop at the sub-20 mark and continued to reach the sub-15 mark at the time. As of now, I average around sub-12 seconds though it's inconsistent but most of my solves do in fact get me to 12s or even lower than that. To add on to this, my current pb is 8.04s (not much but the frequency of getting 9's and 10's are much higher than before). Hopefully I'd be able to reach sub-10 before the complete 1 year ends (It's currently the 9th month now)
As a roux solver with an average of 55s, this still helps me. Not necessarily full oll, not all of it helps, but the bit that does help, helps a lot.
I'm having trouble with imagining the pieces where they'll go and to predict what F2L case will appear when I make the cross during the inspection time.
Can you please give a tip? I'll really appreciate it!❤😊
it'll come over time. something you can do is find a peice on the cube, then try to track it while you randomly turn the cube really fast. it'll help you build intuition for how peices move around the cube.
I am extremely happy. I ordered a GTS V2 and I was spending my last days with me Thunderclap V1, when this happened. PB SINGLE. My first ever sub-11 it was 10.99, but still a sub-11 :-)
seus vídeos são muito bons ótimo conteúdo, to pensando seriamente em aprender Inglês para absorver melhor seus tutoriais, meus parabéns.
suggestion for a video----- when your recognizing your pll what is is that you see exactly on those two sides that make you think ohh hey this is this case (to help with 2 sided pll recognition)
such as cues that you see to make you think that ohh hey there is this in such and such location( like two opposite colored corner stickers you would know there's headlights on the other side if the adjacent corner stickers do not also have opposite colors)
Thanks J perm
i'm now a sub 20 cuber ----- going now to sub 15
Wat do u AVG now
This video was so helpful and so well put together but the big question is... WHY THE HECK DO YOU ONLY HAVE 9000 SUBSCRIBERS YOU NEED SO MANY MORE.
I agree with one of your last statements about sticking it out and figuring out your alg even if it ruins your time. I'm in the middle of learning COLL and you really notice the improvement for learning new algs when you actually recognize and execute them in a real solve and not just repeating it over and over. Also, would you be able to do a video on x-crosses? More specifically, WHEN it's a good idea to do them. I already know how to form an x-cross, but everyone says only do them if they're easy. Well... what's an easy x-cross and what isn't? I've never seen any examples. Granted I'm not hardcore practicing x-crosses because I know I'm not there yet (I have a lot on my plate with learning COLL and becoming color neutral being ~22 second average dual color neutral between white/yellow), but it would be great to have that resource.
Andrew Kimmey he already has a video on x crosses.
Yes, he does have a tutorial video, but I'm not looking for a tutorial, just more of examples to be able to recognize "good" potential x crosses.
Your videos are always so helpful. You always make me think, "wow why didn't I think of that"
How to be sub 15 .....
A video for 15 mins
SeriouslyNot Ninja with 15 likes
I like what you said around 12:34 about forcing yourself to practice what you want to improve. I could do F2L "intuitively" but it was so slow and frustrating that I kept going back to beginner. Eventually, my beginner method got down to just below a min average and I thought, ok it's time to REALLY tackle F2L (and eventually full OLL/PLL, etc.). I watched yours and cubeskills vids on intuitive F2L which got me to where it's not TOO painfully slow, but my solves took a dive all the way back down to 2mins, sometimes 2:30 😩. But I'm just FORCING myself to keep working on it. I'm going through your F2L alg sheet and really trying to study the algs and simultaneously UNDERSTAND what they do while also getting them down to where they're automatic.
I also decided to go color neutral as well, so that added to the slowdown of my solves. I've been trying to decide whether I should step back from that and maybe instead of going cold turkey on color neutral, try to maybe focus on one color each week or something. I've got my opposite color patterns down but adjacent colors are more confusing since the relationships can turn upside down. Which in turn slows down F2L recognition. So I'm sometimes literally having to talk to myself while solving and point to the cubies in desperation like, "OK, WHERE's the red/yellow edge? Looking for the red/yellow edge!".
I'm insane but I just love the cube. So yeah, thanks for all the great content!
I felt a similar thing in terms of searching for pieces when doing color neutrality, as well as edges on big cubes being pretty hard to find, so I know what you mean! if the task of solving properly is difficult for your brain, it means that pure practice is the best way to improve
Every time i'm about to get a good solve i get an N perm or a V perm : (
Same but keep practice good luck
V is good >:(
Or E perm
N perms are easy except no perm, which has wide rs. V perm is terrible
Honestly I think this was the best video made by any youtuber on how to get sub 15, especially because up you talked about regrips which was huge problem in my solves also talked about practice tips I have never seen such a good video thanks a lot man. You gained another sub man
+Bhaskar Parvatha Thanks for the sub! I think a lot of other videos are equally good if not better (like cyoubx's sub-x videos), because they focus over different things which are the core of what is important. The reason I chose the points I chose was because I feel like a lot of advice has gotten repeated since those videos were released, and getting fresh advice on other things is also important :)
Right after watching this video, I got a streak of sub 15 solves.
Coincidence? I tHinK nOt
You got it but i didn't I got sub 19 😔 but i did everything I think it's a matter of practice
Wow I love the first alg! I never knew about that one. That's probably one of the reasons why I've been sub30 forever!
Who else read “no pauses is pretty good” then the video continued to pause because of your connection? 😂
Me
1. Solve any F2L case in 8 moves or less (with some exceptions for 11 moves max)
2. Drill algs to be more consistent (ID problem points and fix them)
3. Reduce F2L pauses and regrips (this invloves learning some unnatural fingertricks)
4. Use unlim inspec to find 1 pair (with enough practice u can do this sub15, maybe ease in by only tracking one corner or one edge)
5. Practice with untimed (not necessarily slow) solves (just dont pause, if you do try to figure out why)
Bonus:
Learn full OLL
No pauses most important
Practice things that will make you better (screw time)
Set a goal and don't let yourself get in the way of it
Thanks past me.
sub 15 now yay
THANK YOU FOR THE AMAZING VIDEO!!!! (yes i actually watched it.) Quick question, how long did it take for you to be sub 10?
Many years of cubing on and off so it wouldn't be a useful answer haha. Those who cube continuously would get there much faster than me.
I’m sub-40 and it took a year.
I started cubing almost exactly one year ago and I'm now sub-20 (~19 seconds of global average) so I guess it really depends how much you practice :)
Can you make a video on sub 10
A milenia
My finger tricks: ok good for me
My look ahead: uh decent
Inspect my first pair in inspection: GREAT!
Same bro
Im also working on color neutrality though, IDK WHAT TO DO, PLAN FIRST PAIR, LOOK AHEAD (which i am still practicing a bit), OR COLOR NEUTRAL AHHH
Bruh my average got worse
You need to practice a lot more!
Just practice
I have been sub 20 for so long(avg around 18) and i think its finally time to improve. Im starting my journey to become sub 15 today. I hope i can do this!
This is a video I like so much and it came out exactly when I need it! XD I like your tutorials J perm! I hope you like my support too!
I was confused but after watching your sub 20 now I am getting good average thanks from 🇮🇳
14:00
Its just like scrambling a 3×3 with 2×2 scrambles :)
omg this video is very helpful! thank you so much! F2L during inspection and pauses are my biggest problems atm, Im sub 25, but this can still help me get through the 20 barrier
1:39
I do F U R U' R' F'
And than insert
Thats good alg, I use it
7 months later.... I can finally say I’m sub 15. This video helped me get there. I’ve been cubing since thanksgiving 2015. When this video was posted I averaged about 16.5.
+Ryan Rivera congrats!!! :)
Dear J Perm,
An algorithm for 8 moves or less for 3:00 is F U R U' R' F'
that's 9 moves when you add inserting, and 10 moves to set it up in the right spot before starting
ive been doing a lot of slow solves to get better at blockbuilding for roux, even though you use cfop, these tips are still good, thanks!
J perm solves a cube: Oh that EZ I can do this in 10 sec
I solve a cube: Time just like flashing
Watching you speed solve is so satisfying
Cubing is just satisfying
My dog ate my gan maglev :(
Same mine ate my house

Love your channel and tips dude! ❤ Gogogo 10k subs :)
I'm not sure if this is a kinda bad way to solve it, but at 1:49 if you're facing it from the blue side (or whatever side is on the top block), if you have the slot in the front right and the corner right above it as he does at the time stamp, then you can do M U Rw U' Rw' U' M'. Advantages include that it preserves all the other f2l slots (as well as a possible pair in the back left, but that's rarely gonna come up), and it's only 7 moves. Disadvantages include that there's a regrip with either the ring or pinky finger to do the M move at the start, as well as to move back from the M' at the end, and just the general truth that most CFOP solvers aren't used to doing that many M or wide L R moves. The algorithm also works in the other slots, with front left being M U' Lw' U Lw U M', back right being M' U' Rw' U Rw U M, and back left being M' U Lw U' Lw' U' M. In all cases, make sure that the edge is either in the front or back, with its top sticker matching the center of the relevant front or back side, as well as ensuring that the corner is positioned above its slot. Also keep in mind that the two back algorithms don't have any regrips but have really awful finger trips towards the end of them. Again I'm not sure how good these are, so if anyone has feedback on this long comment on a 5 year old video that would be very appreciated!
This is actually considered to be the best algorithm for the Front right and front left cases. I haven’t tried the back cases, so I’ll experiment and get back to you on what I think about those.
Anyone watching, who isn't even sub-20?
Me😅
Im sub 25..
Ngl this video taught me to become sub 15 within 2 months and a bit, I do get the occasional 17-19 but that’s me doing 2 look oll and locking up on PLLs I need to find better algs for. Still on the road to going sub 10 by the end of quarantine, wish me the best 😆
Jperm : f2l pauses

FINALLY BEEN WAITING SO LONG
Dang it took me 3 years to become sub 20, I wasn’t cubing the whole time tho. I took a few breaks (they lasted a few months each)
i am cubing for 8 months (5 months wothout the breaks) and i average sub 15

Started in 2016 and been sub 20 since 2018 lol
Jperm you’re a legend can you update this video you may have new information we need on these ☺️
Add sub 10 and advance f2l thanks👍🏻
for the case at 9:20 you can do R' U to build the pair first, then F2 U' R' F D' to solve the cross, then y U L U' L' to insert the pair. you could also execute it as R' U F2 U' R' F E R U' R'
Who is watching in 2024😂
that makes two of us
every single person who comments on this until 2025
Listen its easier you do f2l +(cros in 10 sec) oll in 2 and pll in 2.so you get a 14 and by practice the f2l to get it in 7-8 sec you get near to 12-13 and with working on algorithms you might get 10-11
This video wasn't sub 15?!?!
No BUT it was 15:15

Hey J Perm,
what additional tips can u give to someone who recently became sub 16? I know full OLL and PLL. My cross is 1.5-2 seconds, OLLs and PLLs are all sub 2 except for 7 PLLs and a few OLLs which are sub 1.
ruclips.net/video/7UjQiTaxIdA/видео.html here's a link to a video where i get a 14 second solve. Please Critique.
Imran Mazhar practice your F2L and look ahead I'm sub 16 I use 2 look oll and 1 look PLL
Imran Mazhar yeah definitely practise f2l and cross transition as im basically sub 15 with 2 look oll and full pll , cross should be about a second since its one looked
Long time no see! Missed your video man haha
Thank you for another great video :) Helped a lot!
I have a question... I drilled all my algs but when it comes to the real solve, V Perms are making me SLOW down. I timed my Execution on v perms (.61 avg) but in real solves, execution time is like 1-2 secs.. any tips to improve this?
I have a smooth turning style and a good speedcube
V perm alg I use most: R U2 R' D R U' R U' R U R2 D R' U' R D2
Sometimes: R' U R' U' y' (is that the correct notation?) R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R F
i have a hard time believing you average .61 on V perms, chris olson and drew brads specifically use a faster than standard V perm to time it and can barely get sub-1 for a good single.
anyway, v perm execution in a solve is supposed to take 1-2 seconds. it's a very hard algorithm and i doubt anybody averages sub-1 for v perm during a solve.
Oops correction 1.61 .-. And the real solves takes me 3 secs
Just try to calm down and take it easy, it just happens sometimes.
@ Standard Zero What Fingertricks do u use for ur main V-Perm cuz I only saw people using it in OH and can't find any acceptable Fingertricks for 2H.
When drilling V Perms if I go sweaty try hard I can 1.3 it.
Learned my new N perm from this video. Nice!
I have a problem: I finnished learning full oll 2 months ago, but my 2-look oll times are still faster than when I use 1-look :/
Morten Mortensson drill algs. Choose 5-10 algs a day and just spam them over and over. Also make sure you can recognise them very quickly
Morten Mortensson that will come with time, its normal
12:33
That's what happened with me when I started learning full oll , but with practice recognition definitely gets better
At 2.55 at given orientation you can insert that pair without rotation by doing U' first and then "(r U R' U R U2) B r' " Which is less than 11 moves and without rotation.. Hope this helps
I saw that a long time ago but never got around to learning it since I was learning other stuff at the time, so I might use it in the future but I'll have to test it for a while first.
I got my first sub 15 average :DDDDD 13.99!! Also my current average of 12 is 15.46!
edit: SUB 15 AVG OF 12 NOW!!!!

Nice this is quite helpful my last layer is horrible so drilling algs should help
best channel EVER !! im sub 15 now thank u j perm !
Atlast. After 2 weeks of waiting this video came out.
Hi. I’m am using your advice from the video. I am also trying to to learn some new algorithms to get faster. My issue is, I average about 16 seconds with 2-look OLL and about 3/4 of the way of full PLL. So I feel ahead, but at the same time, behind. I am not improving as fast as I used to. My question is, what should I learn next? Thanks for reading 😁
learn full PLL and OLL! for f2l it depends on what you already know
