im still watching this after 6 years and am amazed by the same amount. you don't need high-quality production, Felix. your videos are awesome cuz you make them.
Do more of example solves! You being the best in the world at speedcubing wont make better cube reviews or better tutorials (maybe some really advanced ones), but this content is what you are the best at and it is what sets you apart from other cubers on youtube.
Tip for (hopefully) next example solves: Do a timed solve, and then kind of reconstruct the solve with commentary. Sometimes, it is hard to believe you would be able to do the solves you show sub 8.
"Advanced F2L" is kind of an oxymoron. You get faster by knowing heaps and heaps of tips and tricks, and tiny things that work really well for YOU. You leanr 'Advanced F2L" by years of practice.
Grey-man I don't really get you, there are proper complex algorithms that you almost definitely never figure out intuitively for F2L, most F2L stuff is little tricks and being clever, but there are complex algorithms for cases that would take much longer doing intuitively.
Where do you learn to do F2L so well? I'm not saying make a video explaining (unless you want to) but a link to any recommended video you can think of would be appreciated.
I've never thought of or seen someone do F2L and cross at the same time, but that seems like it's obviously effective. I was gonna learn full OLL but this seems more important and I guess I should learn the F2l algorithms. Thanks for the vid.
i love when he just says "OLL, PLL" and solves them in 2 seconds moving the pieces faster than i can follow them. It entertains me because my solves take around a minute and a half.
I learned a new finger trick just by watching you in this! An easier way to pair a certain edge pair. I'm still working on pairing multiple pairs while inserting to make insertion easier, also working on 3rd and 4th pair cases to get the top cross faster because I'm currently studying ZBLL. You're my hero!
You are awesome, godly and undoubtedly the best speedcuber the world has or will ever see. I average 15 - 16 seconds and your video has really helped me, especially in the cross and f2l
Thank you Feliks! Very helpful :) I'd like to see more of this! One suggestion though... perhaps slow down a little when you do any fancy F2L tricks. Inspired to go on a long practice session now!
Feliks, could you make a tutorial on how you solve a Rubik's Cube? Example solves are good but it doesn't go into quite enough detail. Please reply. Thanks
Example solves are for experienced or intermediate cubers that are trying to break bad habits. Use an actual tutorial because Feliks's solves are too fast to be used as a tutorial. I personally prefer this website:www.rubiksplace.com/speedcubing/guide/ EDIT: If you're asking what his solving style is maybe try slowing down the playback speed.
Sorry Feliks, but I just don't understand anything that you just did. Please help me out here. When I solve a rubies' cube, I make a white cross, do the white corners, then the second layers of all colors but white and yellow, then solve the yellow, then the corners, and then finish it( counter clockwise of clockwise) Thanks!
Feliks Zemdegs Im still at the beginner method with avg 55 secs, but I try to learn F2L from fridrich method, and try to solve it with fridrich method in 1 minute, then get down to 30 secs, etc... I really like those example solves, you should do more :D
Ikr, I've seen some example solves where the whole F2L is made in 6-7 seconds, and OLL+PLL takes only 2 seconds But I want to be able first to do the F2L from fridrich, and the last layer from beginner method
Also, you don't necessarily need to know all PLL and OLL because-especially for OLL- there are a lot of cases where you can just use two easy algorithms.

So. Imagine you have a pair, and you can insert it by going U R U' R'. A sledge hammer is going R' F R F' instead. Each Trigger (U R U' R' or R' F R F') is useful for different things, like if you're on your last pair, and you have zero edges facing up for OLL, you can do a sledgehammer instead of a standard insert (U R U' R'), and you'll have oriented 2 OLL edges, making OLL easier.
Just wanted to say thanks for the video. I was inspired by you and like to see your videos. I'm glad you have the time and desire to do more videos and improve your youtube presence.
Kevin Li Mats Valk is also somewhat color-blind and this might be the reason why he is not color neutral but prefers blue and green as his down/up face.
Could you make a video about how to get faster at the cross? :) You did make a video about the cross but I would really like a new one :) It would be very useful... I'm struggling with it and try to improve it but it just doesn't work :p 6-8 seconds to make a cross is just bad :D F2L is better though :p Really like your video's & keep up the awesome work! You're the Usain Bolt of the cubers ;)
For Scramble 4 there is a much easier extended cross (Kind of long but no rotations and along with another paired already solved ready to be inserted). Here it is: Facing green side with Yellow up. R F' L F U F2 D' R D U R2 this cross also gives you an easy first pair as it is already solved leaving you with a cube rotation then insert.
I see hes making use of his fingers awkwardly in order to avoid regrips. For example doing a U with the left index. Feels awkward but once you got it down it should be a killer time saver! Currently reinventing my F2L, hope it makes me faster in the long run. Always good to see a pro doing what I'm starting to learn so I know its gonna pay off. Starting to do One-Handed solving aswell, which definitely helps making use of the fingers you have.

watch example solves, practice, do slow solves to watch how the pieces move around

For the first time I heard feliks zemdegs said:
"I'm not sure if I can do this🤔🤔
It's so therapeutic to watch this Feliks. Do you even realise that? You're the cubing God to me
1:26 Feliks: And to do this edge we do F2-L
Well, yeah, most speed solvers do F2L in order to solve the cube.
Yeah that confused me too, then I realized he meant front 2 times and left once
CardistryAcademy No, I knew he meant front twice, and then left. I was just making fun of the play-on words
It’s kinda satisfying the way he says “these two”
yes, right, this, that, tada solved. what da fak did i just watch?
You watched 25 episodes of Re:zero , then got obsessed with the show, then make your RUclips pic to be Rem in a Christmas outfit. BTW Who is Rem?
Random Guy Rem is waifu
i love when he just says "OLL, PLL" and solves them in 2 seconds moving the pieces faster than i can follow them. It entertains me because my solves take around a minute and a half.
I see why they can solve it in 5 seconds now I get 22 I cry
The Hype Cuber well I'm sub-60. Fun...
20 but still...

I learned so much from this video! Just watching your technique for how you approach your solve is great.

Finally. White cross. I get so lost on this CN videos. It's sad really.
I'm just wondering - do you really do so much rotations? Your solves on comps look quite rotationless. Sry if I'm wrong...

Feliks, can you do a tutorial on your method? That would be awesome
he uses CFOP. look it up. badmephisto has awesome vids on it
Finally. A good tutorial where the teacher doesn’t act like we’re dumb.
My fastest time after 2 months of practice is 17.3 secs. Is that good?
yes that is incredible, in 3 months of practice i'm at 21.09 seconds :)
That is actually pretty bad-ass.
I had a 2 move cross and there were 2 pre-made f2l pairs. "Sune" OLL and T perm
Nice my best was an 8.02, 2 move cross, 1 pair ALREADY IN, then three really easy pairs, an oll skip, and an H perm.
Nole_ #SeaLion that would be the "god solve" for me I love t-perm and sune

What is the sledgehammer algorithm?? How do you perform it??

So.
Imagine you have a pair, and you can insert it by going U R U' R'.
A sledge hammer is going R' F R F' instead.

Y are some of the best solvers colorblind?
Not color blind color neutral
If you were color blind, cubing is not for you.
Well, I know tehcubedude is color blind, but he still cubes, he's actually very good at it, I'm colorblind, but not as severe as most other people

Just_Sayin' Good point. My brother would want to use those colors.
And once again this video proves to us that great results can be achieved without expensive cubes, the main thing is skills

What about you... Yeah you, the one reading this
For Scramble 4 there is a much easier extended cross (Kind of long but no rotations and along with another paired already solved ready to be inserted).
Here it is:
Facing green side with Yellow up.
R F' L F U F2 D' R D U R2 this cross also gives you an easy first pair as it is already solved leaving you with a cube rotation then insert.
lol at 4:09 he said F U
was confused on this until i saw one of the worlds fastest cubers made this
