How to solve a 2x2 Rubik's cube in 5 seconds! (Ortega method tutorial)

In this video, I explain the Ortega method. This method is for intermediate solvers and you will be able to solve the cube in less than 5 seconds.
Timestamps :
First layer - 0:50
OLL : 2:50
PBL : 4:48
Cubes used : *Gan 249 v2
*Mofang Jiasho 2x2 cubing classroom
*2X2 Qiyi WuXia
Algorithms for PBL :
2 bars : R2 U' B2 U2 R2 U' R2
1 bar top : R U' R F2 R' U R'
no bars : R2 F2 R2 or F2 R2 F2
Enjoy this 2x2 tutorial :D

Again you solved my 2×2 rubiks cube

[@BlitzEGG]

Great video! You explained it very well and this video deserves more like and views! (thank you i liked)

[@logaomg]

the diagonal algorithm it doesnt work for me it messes up the white side and doesnt solve the yellow side

[@heincuber3268]

Put the recording in 0.5 speed and try again, it should work

[@Anna-qz4xy]

Same

[@cgtfoxy2183]

It's easy and fast but hard to remember

[@harrisonscheidt8787]

If its easy how is it hard to remember?

[@shadowmaster271]

is it just me, or are some of the algorithms typed incorrectly.

[@Random_Post-bq5ib]

Not just you,

[@beyblate]

I’ve been using Ortega for a year and got a pb of 4 seconds

[@fr0sty080]

Ur south african

[@theprettykitties6011]

The second step has trash algorithms

[@sunitan1322]

You moving fast I couldn't understand

[@heincuber3268]

This was an intermediate tutorial, I've made a more beginner one called "How to solve a 2x2 with 1 Algorthm"

[@rbt1005]

Good video but at 4:33 the algorithm should be. F’ (R U R’ U’) R’ F R. And at 4:47 the algorithm should be. R’ U R U2 R2 F R F’ R. You’re welcome 😉

[@r4yb0x39]

ok but do you know this is probably a video of his way to solve ortega, not the official way

[@rbt1005]

@@r4yb0x39 no I mean I slowed the video down and that’s the moves he did but he put the wrong ones up on the screen. He put the algorithm up on the screen the proceeded to do different moves, my comment just says what moves he actually did. Does that make any sense 😂😆.

Yup ORTEGA method is really fast I also use this method

[@harrisonscheidt8787]

Im also the 41,094 Veiw

[@brynnedolan2218]

2:36 just swaps my pieces😢

[@gklbeats2048]

For the condition in this part 5:57
I have one more alg that is easy and I use this
x R2 U2 R2. IF you like this plz 👍 and tell me in the reply

[@MrPuzzleCodes]

I also did it like this, cause U is obviously faster than F

[@shinjimuh]

Bruh you your too far and fast how can i learn

[@premiumspicycornichons]

Im using ortega method but im so slow idk why average is 12seconds (just learned ortega yesterday im gonna practise and keep u updated)

[@sharoncheung7912]

premium spicy cornichons yea samee

[@premiumspicycornichons]

@@sharoncheung7912 i think for me its because its taking me so long to realise in what situation im in and my cube is so slow but im about to get valk2

[@sharoncheung7912]

premium spicy cornichons thats the exact same case for me.

[@hypedhcr2]

Wait you remember the algs after 1 day?

[@tomtunstall3202]

I cant get the algorithm at 4:47 to work, dont know what I'm doing wrong

[@triplereeds]

You may have gotten the case during PBL in which you had to do a T or Y perm. You got this!

[@Duckey_]

how do you get faster

[@The100ss]

Keep practicing

[@harrisonscheidt8787]

Im the 500th Like....

[@vinnys7]

Hein cuber I just got into cubing and I have a Rubik's brand 2x2 and a Rubik's brand 3x3. I don't know what oll or pll is. So can u make a video on how to solve.it with no algrarithom

[@heincuber3268]

Will try to make one in the future

[@vinnys7]

@@heincuber3268 ok sounds awesome! Have a merry Christmas!

[@heincuber3268]

Same to you

[@reaganskates]

That’s impossible to solve without algorithms and learn the easy way first

[@amaan2663]

4:48 the algorithm is wrong ............... there should be R' before the whole algorithm

[@umayrkhan4082]

Where do I buy cubes from

[@rockg5769]

great vid and keep up the grat work!!!

[@heincuber3268]

Thanks

[@neiler123]

Thank U i solved it really fast !

[@stephenwatson5392]

i honestly so paranoyed cause stupid algs are typed wrong

[@yuggupta4856]

You are so good I search on web but not anything was in my hand but this video algorithm are too easy and helpfull keep it up make more good videos 👍👍👍

[@mr.thickoms8477]

i like the intro

[@pink3leph4nt]

thanks for the help before i just tried to get lucky by solving a side and solve oll but ortega made me get sub 20 all the time tysm appreciate the help, +1 sub for you

[@ethanstenzler7821]

To fast and put commas next to each step

[@83vidisha]

Too good 🙂🙂

[@skoveinoraptor2266]

How do you solve the two diagonal yellow pieces on top?

[@hailey3084]

But it’s pretty good besides that

[@Yashisbetter]

Better algo for this 4:45
L’ U’ L U F U F’

[@yeldademir4983]

*My average is 6 in 2×2 Rubix Cube. I use the 3×3 method to solve 2×2 Rubix cube. First ı do the White surface then make all the top surface yellow then do pll like in 3×3 it can be Jperm.*

[@brianthomas1981]

bro im confused as hell

[@pedrobezerra8530]

It's not working for me.

[@victoriabeard4779]

Do you have to set cube up for the sledgehammer

[@evrimazap82]

Can’t do it bc it is to fast but ok

[@ockertoosthuizen9969]

This is a South African

[@marshin_6881]

makes no sense but good try

[@Sklevan]

World record is 0.49 seconds
me: ok now time to do it 10 times faster!

if any of the tutorials actually worked i would not have had to completely destroy my cube

the sledge hammer doesnt work... well to me than but thanks for the video

You said you will do next video of ortega method more faster algorithms pls do that video

awesome

my best time is 20s with a 3x3 btw your amazing at explaining

Can you make a video of you doing this slower

this method is so good that they named an actor after it

What happens if there's only 2 pieces left on a 2x2

I cant remember OLL :(

[@getamongussed7938]

@Rimmzy Ok

[@MrPuzzleCodes]

Hello! I have a tip! Thats how i learned both oll and pll in 2 or 3 days! Im not joking! Try to write down all the altgorithms and repeat them many times. If you want you ca also draw a cube shape to identify the case. Well, you posted this 8 months ago so you either learned oll and pll or stopped cubing that often....

[@evannsx9334]

@@MrPuzzleCodes lol

[@triplereeds]

My tip is to write down the algorithms on paper to refer to and practice. Once you do them multiple times you should be good!

[@deadshootdeadpoolyt7133]

Too fast I cant see what to do

[@heincuber3268]

The ortega method is quite advanced, I made a beginners video for how to solve a 2x2 with only 1 algorithm.

😊extremely precise. Very good!😊

Some of the algorithms are incorrect

In the fourth alg. U' is supposed to be F'
