Thank you for posting this video! In the first 2 minutes, you taught me some steps that really helped my F2L. I don't like looking at algorithm/cube notation, so the video and the way you teach is very effective for me. Good job, bubba!
hey guys, everyone wants memyselfandpi to write the algorithms, but i figured i would do it. i will order them by the way he showed them to us (the corners and edges) ten at a time. 1= F U Ri 2= L U Li F U Ri 3= Fi U2/Ui F2 U Ri 4= U Li U L Ui F U Ri 5= Fi U2 F Ui Li U L
THIS IS A GREAT TUTORIAL FOR ALL THOSE WHO SAY ITS NOT, These steps are not algorithms, but if you use simple logic, you can easily solve it, I have been doing f2l for 1 week now, and so far I am getting better at it, I may be slow, but i'm getting there. This tutorial is great for when you find those cases where you end up thinking about it a lot, I am pretty sure he has all of those cases here, because there is not one on this tutorial that I havent encountered.
you make things so easy, i saw your rubik's cube shortcuts and i improved about 10 seconds and another five after seeing this video so thanks and keep getting faster and finding better ways so i can get better:)
Thank so so much dude! Finally a tutorial without having to memorize a bunch of algs. I was lying in bed, trying to figure out F2L by myself after watching your videos, and by taking it slow and thinking the moves through I finally made it! Thanks :)
Even though I'm not the target audience of the vid (total beginner), the concepts were explained clearly and really helped. Having watched this video once at work yesterday I solved the first two layers in about half an hour last night - first time I've solved two layers on a cube.
Ugh, it was fine when I uploaded this 5 years ago, but something must've happened with RUclips's player since then. I just fixed it by adding the tag, yt:stretch=16:9
People should stop disliking it just because it's too hard. He does an excellent job of explaining things, just play around and you'll get how to. You can't become sub-20 overnight.
I have to say that the F2L things definitely seem like common sense now that I think about it. This was very insightful. If my cube wasn't stolen, I would work on it for hours trying to memorize this.
Good work. You explained pretty well the F2L, I recently, before knowing about your channel went to the most shitty sites just to get that. Results? Nothing I could use. But you made it simple, I just hope that Part 2 is as good as this. Keep up the good work. ;D
This will help me out on F2L a little bit, I've just been using a sort of "brute force" F2L where I sometimes use a few more moves to get the easy R U R' case rather than solving the other cases the way they should, since I'm not quite as fast at recognizing them or knowing what to do.
i think i might have left a nasty comment on this video about a year ago, but maybe I've gotten a bit more intelligent since then. This tutorial is making MUCH more sense now and i'm really getting the hang of using F2L! thanks so much, great tutorial!
Thank you8 so much for these tutorials! Before, my best time was 1 minute, 15 seconds. Now it is an all-time low of 42 seconds, and that is without using OLL and PLL algorithms. Because of this video, I am subscribing to you.
Just some constructive feedback, I tried to start learning F2L here but was totally confused and could not keep up, it was just too fast for someone who had never seen F2L before, then I went to badmephisto's video's and I was able to understand his much easier, because his video goes through every step in great detail and gives algorithm's. However I came back too yours after I had grasped the basics and it is very helpful!! Covers every scenario in great detail!
This made soooo much sense! WHY did'nt I do this before? Had rubik's as an hobby for tree years, and never got any faster... Now i will!! haha :D Thanks! :D
this is so easy to understand man all you have to do is: bring this up bring that down put this on rotate that down, turn it so it can go in the right place, rotate that, bring this down, turn that up and you are done.
@thaman668 at the front, it said "Significant Experiance Required" meaning you needed to know how to solve a cube. the beginners method starts with a cross.
I have two thoughts: 1: Thank you for going into the level of detail you do in this video. I already know f2l a bit, but there were some things I didn't know. I have an average of around 1:00 +/- 5 seconds, and I'm trying to learn some new methods to help get my solves down closer to 45 seconds, and I'm sure these will help. 2: Are those Cubesmith smooth tiles, stickers, or what? In the video the red/orange look very similar. Is this just the video, or are the stickers really that close?
the method i learned was the layer by layer, and ive been using it for about a month now. i tried learning this method and it works for the f2l part, but after that i solve it with the method i learned.(my fastest time with the layer by layer for me is 0:43 seconds)
He took some core cube solving and just showed you most common F2L cases and how to tackle them. Granted no algorithms were demonstrated, but if you're gonna start learning brute-force sequences then there are over 40 or so that you should be reading up on. He did a good job showing the cases, if this video didn't help you because somehow "turn here and turn here" is not as effective as "R, U, R prime..." to you then just move on.
For all of you who are wondering, YES, this is the faster method, or one of the faster methods. It's possible to get very fast with the layer-by-layer method... for example, I just reached 0m 30s... but until I learn an alternative, like this f2l/oll/pll set, I will never be able to compete with the real masters. I have witnessed a 10 second solution in person. (One of my friends is a competitor.)
@MeMyselfAndPi how long did it take for you to speed up?? and cheers your videos clear about anything on rubik's cube, u helped me on ur V-cube 6 popped pieces tutorial cheers m8 good job !!
you have to make sure to do RUR' if the cross colour is facing to the right if the cross colour is facing towards you you have to rotate the cube so that the cross colour is facing to the left then you need to do L'U'L
i times myself with each one after i replied to you. my times were(im a really slow solver) rubiks:1:10 guhong:0:58 (minutes: seconds). my rubiks cube is actually a lot better than one out of the box. i have lubed it and it can cut about 40* but no reverse corner cutting and it is semi fast.
@XMashomet9o9 It's 'pillowed.' Because it's impossible to make a cube that size that will not break without it because the corners would come off while turning.
I agree...But in the end, you will be able to solve it b.c if your even spending the money on them, and have had it for a few days... you will be able to solve it and have it figured out no problem.
what i do is i read the algorithm and do it at the same time. eventually, it will go back to being solved. so, starting with it solved, just keep doing the algorithm over and over, until you have it in your muscle memory. this will only work for algorithms with less than ten notations. well, for me anyway. but, ti will put the algs in your muscle memory faster.
Thank you @memyselfandpi I can now do this F2L business but all it does is make me slower cause i have to think more lol. I guess lots of practicing is in my future...
This isn't supposed to show you how to solve it, it's teaching you how to use a different method so you can solve it faster, you should already know how to solve it if your watching this.
@carre95 for f2l it's just practice practice and practice that get you better and for oll and pll you should check out the two look versions of them since there are less algs to learn :)
A piece may be turned wrong, it is always smart to make sure none of the "cubies" as they are called, are facing a bad/wrong way, making the cube literally unsolvable. take it apart, and put it back together in a "solved position" and then try doing this again. it should work, if not, PM me directly, and ill skype you through it.
Very confused at first doing f2l. managed to get it eventually. rejumbled and done it again more fluidly second time. only gonna get better! edges is my slowest part currently :(
@MrHairyBallsFTW This takes a while to get good at, it used to take me like 2 minutes just to do F2L, but with practice, like anything, I got it down to around 20 seconds. If you have trouble with F2L, type in 'CFOP F2L' on google and it has instructions for algorithms and stuff that will help you with that and Pi's instructions for the rest is probably the best to be honest. Good luck.

Thank You!! xD

hey guys, everyone wants memyselfandpi to write the algorithms, but i figured i would do it. i will order them by the way he showed them to us (the corners and edges) ten at a time.
1= F U Ri
2= L U Li F U Ri
3= Fi U2/Ui F2 U Ri
4= U Li U L Ui F U Ri
5= Fi U2 F Ui Li U L
Sorry i only showed the first five.
thanks you are nice ;)

Yes. 😂🤣😂🤣

Oh, I thought this was for his voice cracks lol
Thank so so much dude! Finally a tutorial without having to memorize a bunch of algs. I was lying in bed, trying to figure out F2L by myself after watching your videos, and by taking it slow and thinking the moves through I finally made it! Thanks :)
This is the fastest method at 3 by3??? And this is the method that you using ??
The most popular method to speed up your cubing.
Even though I'm not the target audience of the vid (total beginner), the concepts were explained clearly and really helped. Having watched this video once at work yesterday I solved the first two layers in about half an hour last night - first time I've solved two layers on a cube.
Pi, please get a new camera, I'm sure there are some people outt ehre who do not like widescreen cubing.
Ugh, it was fine when I uploaded this 5 years ago, but something must've happened with RUclips's player since then. I just fixed it by adding the tag, yt:stretch=16:9
Yeah I figured. Nice knowing that you actually reply to comments unlike others. Thanks!
MeMyselfAndPi so you can reply to comments. it totally works . make more videos. i like them
I like your camera
People should stop disliking it just because it's too hard. He does an excellent job of explaining things, just play around and you'll get how to. You can't become sub-20 overnight.
I really don't understand you.
I have to say that the F2L things definitely seem like common sense now that I think about it. This was very insightful. If my cube wasn't stolen, I would work on it for hours trying to memorize this.
HOLY SHIT SLOW DOWN FFS
Good work. You explained pretty well the F2L, I recently, before knowing about your channel went to the most shitty sites just to get that. Results? Nothing I could use. But you made it simple, I just hope that Part 2 is as good as this. Keep up the good work. ;D
Who else thinks he doesn't teach very well
he doesnt teach well
+Conner Calaway IKR
+lucas yates I dunno, I think he made it pretty easy to understand. I haven't watched any other F2L videos yet though, so I can't really compare.
Me it's impossible
I actually understand you, every other f2L video I looked at confused the hell out of me. thank you for this!
Too complicated.
Not really!!!!
It's really easy when you get the hang of it.
This will help me out on F2L a little bit, I've just been using a sort of "brute force" F2L where I sometimes use a few more moves to get the easy R U R' case rather than solving the other cases the way they should, since I'm not quite as fast at recognizing them or knowing what to do.
this crap is too confusing I'm just going to stick to the beginners method...
+Budder1252 Nah just practice and you'll do it really fast.
+Plexity really u sure about that
Colton Flinchbaugh umm yes, my record is 27sec now.
Thanks man now i know F2L method . I saw many other vids but i didnt understand but you explained me clearly :)
DUDE you are epic. Best F2L, OLL, PLL explanation I have heard.
I am not experienced in solving yet but you have an excellent way of explaining and making clear why certain moves work so I'll be returning later.
i think i might have left a nasty comment on this video about a year ago, but maybe I've gotten a bit more intelligent since then. This tutorial is making MUCH more sense now and i'm really getting the hang of using F2L! thanks so much, great tutorial!
cubers out there rate this comment up...
This is an advanced method, beginners look for a video explaining one layer at a time.
Thanks for the video.
Thank you8 so much for these tutorials! Before, my best time was 1 minute, 15 seconds. Now it is an all-time low of 42 seconds, and that is without using OLL and PLL algorithms. Because of this video, I am subscribing to you.

i always look for your videos when trying to learn how to solve different cubes and stuff............ty ur amazing at this keep up the good work
thanks man this helped a lot... guys... you'll only learn this tutorial if u have your cube memorized.
Woh.
I've been watching MeMyselfandPi for a few months now, but some how I haven't seen this yet.
I needed this!
Love to watch this over and over for review and for memorization!
Awesome video , I'm french but I understood the whole part of what you said , it is very nicely explained.Thank you very much.
he does a good job. that's why it says you should already have significant experience
DUDE!! THANK YOU SOO MUCH, THE F2L HELPED ME SOO MUCH!!
This made soooo much sense! WHY did'nt I do this before? Had rubik's as an hobby for tree years, and never got any faster... Now i will!! haha :D Thanks! :D
this is so easy to understand man all you have to do is: bring this up bring that down put this on rotate that down, turn it so it can go in the right place, rotate that, bring this down, turn that up and you are done.
Thanks pi I was never able to do F2L before but u make it way more clear thanks again
thanks to this tutorial, i can solve the cube in 18 seconds. thanks!
2 months later and i can do it very fluently. thanks :).
i was confused too when i first learned f2l, but if you watch it a few times and practice a lot, it will come to you
@thaman668 at the front, it said "Significant Experiance Required"
meaning you needed to know how to solve a cube. the beginners method starts with a cross.

They're on right. Looking at the white face with blue on the top layer, red is on the right face.
u talk so clear so even i understand (im from sweden btw) :D nice tutorial :D
not to sound weird but you have such a inspirational voice! great video!
how the hell..
I didnt know how to do these things on almost every other tutorial, but now i get it, Thx

pie, try the reverse keyhole method, it's so fast! omg! and so much easier! no corner matching and finagling with the edges :)
best f2l video i found. Thanks
Really good vid. I went from about 60 seconds each cube (layer method) to about 30 seconds :).
@8u1fb Yes the WR holder that did the cube in 7.08 seconds uses this method (CFOP / Fridrich)
thanks a lot , best explanation better than others
For all of you who are wondering, YES, this is the faster method, or one of the faster methods. It's possible to get very fast with the layer-by-layer method... for example, I just reached 0m 30s... but until I learn an alternative, like this f2l/oll/pll set, I will never be able to compete with the real masters.
I have witnessed a 10 second solution in person. (One of my friends is a competitor.)
wow, thsi is a really good tutorial, thanks man ;D it helped me a lot
Wow, very nice tutorial Billy!!!
you explained f2l pretty well.. thnxx
Which cube do you use?
Awesome video! :D 5/5!
Thank you very much nicely explained!
多謝你我終於明白點解F2L點用
Thank you I finally understand the solution for F2L
Best F2L Video of all the other videos.
thanks so much! this finally made f2l make sense to me
is this method that you use to solve it?
@MeMyselfAndPi how long did it take for you to speed up?? and cheers your videos clear about anything on rubik's cube, u helped me on ur V-cube 6 popped pieces tutorial cheers m8 good job !!
@eal87ha It is the Fridrich method (CFOP).In this video , he shows F2L.
its okay man, find a passion that really fuels your life.
You are teaching very well :D
I did not understand the first 30 seconds...
@MrSkatingman44 the reason he says u need to have "significant experience" is so that u can understand it even if its not shown perfectly
you have to make sure to do RUR' if the cross colour is facing to the right if the cross colour is facing towards you you have to rotate the cube so that the cross colour is facing to the left then you need to do L'U'L
i times myself with each one after i replied to you. my times were(im a really slow solver) rubiks:1:10 guhong:0:58 (minutes: seconds). my rubiks cube is actually a lot better than one out of the box. i have lubed it and it can cut about 40* but no reverse corner cutting and it is semi fast.

@TheMegawsome I believe this is the fridrich method. this is what speedcubers use to get aprox. 10 to 20 seconds. So yes, this is faster.
OMG thnx so much u explain really good u made my life much easy but i some times get confused but still GREAT VIDEO
Thanks alot I found this tutorial really helpful.
well done, mate!
keep practicing!
what i do is i read the algorithm and do it at the same time. eventually, it will go back to being solved. so, starting with it solved, just keep doing the algorithm over and over, until you have it in your muscle memory. this will only work for algorithms with less than ten notations. well, for me anyway. but, ti will put the algs in your muscle memory faster.
Thanks bro best explanation, appreciated
No, this is just the second time. I'll remove the first two parts of the first version shortly.
Thank you @memyselfandpi I can now do this F2L business but all it does is make me slower cause i have to think more lol. I guess lots of practicing is in my future...
This isn't supposed to show you how to solve it, it's teaching you how to use a different method so you can solve it faster, you should already know how to solve it if your watching this.

you are a great teacher!
by 1:11 i was like 'Yes I can do this!" but from then on, my brain melted and I couldn't understand the rest.
@Erdos2n yes, there is no algorythm for the cross, you need to make it as fast as possible.
A piece may be turned wrong, it is always smart to make sure none of the "cubies" as they are called, are facing a bad/wrong way, making the cube literally unsolvable. take it apart, and put it back together in a "solved position" and then try doing this again. it should work, if not, PM me directly, and ill skype you through it.
@danialezzlen
Did you practice lots? Also are you doing the oll and pll? It's expected for those that you do that part in under 10 seconds
nice man this helped me alot!! THANKS :D
OMG you have the best voice EVER
Use the ones you NEED. There are practically way around 10 or even less algorithms just varied in few ways..
Complete F2L Tutorial, Thanks;)
Very confused at first doing f2l. managed to get it eventually. rejumbled and done it again more fluidly second time. only gonna get better! edges is my slowest part currently :(

Awesome tutorial :D
Thanks!! It helped me a lot.
Thanks!!!! By the way, how do you get your cube so smooth turning?
as of now i can solve in 1:10 using beginners method. this tutorial helped a bunch lol =)
What do you mean pause the video?
