Can I just.... Your tutorials have helped me so much!!

Sadly I am a kid and cannot afford to support you on patreon. So this is what I could do. Support you through a comment. Because you support me through your tutorials. Thank you so much!!!!!
J Perm's tutorials really help me to get faster. When i first watched J Perm's tutorials i was sub-40 but now i am going to break the sub-20 barrier. Thanks J Perm!
I've been averaging around 9-10 seconds recently, and I was stuck in the 15 seconds barrier before that. I've done slow turning but it didn't work out well for me. I discovered that you have to have good cross to f2l transition (key element in sub 10) and fast F2L transitions. It comes naturally after you keep on solving AND learning from your solves. When you learn i mean you know you should not turn at full tps but at a fast tps. Then, i made my OLL and PLL transition faster by not turning at full tps but at a fast tps. Your solve should look like a "dance" to make a solve fast. Then boom, sub 10.
Hey, 3 years later, what do you average? I average 10-11 rn (with plenty of 9 second solves) and I am trying to get sub 10. Any other tips for me? Thanks
I really like this. I think it really is the fact that you don't realize when you pause for a long time or execute poorly when your mind is rushing during solves. I absolutely detest watching myself solve. But I might have to go and do this :/
I've never realized that before.. I usually film my solves, but my purpose for doing it was just to have a chance to catch a PB on cam... maybe my long-awaited PB break would be more plausible if i "critique" myself and see and realize where i lack... thanks 👍👍
I feel the same. I know I can cut more than 50% of my time if I didn't pause so much. Thanks for reinforcing to record yourself. I keep telling myself to do that.
if u didn't understand the concept get lost Feliks averages 9 seconds with slow turning he practices slow turning from which he advanced to 6 second average
I remember watching this video one month ago... one month, I could only do 30 sec. and didn’t know what you were doing... now I know when you were doing f2l pair one and two. In one month, I went from 30 sec. to sub 20 because of this mans channel.
J Perm: "Faster Cubers look slow" Me: "whOaAH hE FAst!" I know my own weaknesses without recording 1. Slow dot OLL for 2LOLL 2. Not Searching for 1st pair while finishing cross 3. F2L Look ahead 4. Only knowing 1 good way to pair up most cases 5. Sometimes forgetting to check yellow cross when white cross is hard (I can solve from both white or yellow cross) 6. TPS, which I recently improved but for cross it's not very good and for F2L I improved TPS immensely recently.
I'd like to see a video on inconsistent solve times talking about some of the causes and ways it can be fixed. If I had to chose I think I'd rather be consistent but slower than have a wide variation of times.
well one reason is 3- or 4-look LL being inconsistent for number of looks. another thing is F2L recognition/searching/look ahead varies based on how easy the cases are to see, even if their move count is similar. I mention consistency in one of the videos in this series regarding not messing up look ahead on hard solves
This was perfect timing because I watched feliks solve 4x4 and it looked like he had sooo many pauses but he was averaging like 25 and I average barely sub 50.
My main weakness is f2l it usually takes me over half the time I get just to finish f2l, I also take a while to do the cross. I also have terrible look ahead and ok tps. Oll and pll are relatively fast because I’m better with algorithms than actually figuring it out myself. My pauses also take a second or two which makes my time even longer.
I'm just happy that I can finally solve it. Living through the 80's and seeing cubes everywhere and only a handful of people could solve it. Back in the day, you had to buy and read a book to learn it. No youtube.
Yo, that first solve is exactly how I do a cube solve (except the last layer obviously) . I just can't do solves with higher tps without overshooting or locking up.😀😀 Really great seeires !!! I think this deserves a grand prize
I average around 1 minute and 5 seconds and I get sub-1 minute every few solves. I’m about to start learning full OLL. This is just a note for where my skill level is at. I will come back once I have improvements.
Noo please don’t waste time learning OLL right now! What you should mainly focus on is improving your F2L and 4LL. You shouldn`t even worry about OLL before your atleast sub 30. Take this from me, I average 20-23 seconds and am soon to hit sub 20. I occacionally get sub 20 solves and only just started learning OLL to cut off the few seconds that prevent me from getting constant sub 20 solves, even now my main focus isn`t OLL but rather look ahead. Also if you don`t know PLL yet you should start learning that before OLL.
I average 18-19 and Ive found out that most the times i get 14-16s its always when my turning is slow and smooth. I have quite a rough style, and i think that slows me down. It makes me panic because my speed of doing an F2L case is slow because it was catchy due to my rough turning style. I thing tps should be spoke about more in cubing because, ive only just started to notice how important your speed of your solves are.
Another big reason is your brain needs time for analysis, so doing it slower makes it much more smooth, and reduces the time needed for pauses, since you can just see it while solving. A 2nd big reason is most likely the reduced number of movements required. Person A may use 20 moves in 7 seconds, but if person B only needs 9, they will obviously have no need to move as fast as person A.
What about some tips on regrips? You say in your video on how to be sub-15 that one should minimize regrips to get faster. But I'm at 16-17 and don't know how to minimize regrips more to get time advantage. And also: What is worth more learning? LL subsets like COLL or LS subsets like WV?
Simple - improve on your lookahead by doing slower, but consistent solves with as little pauses as possible and then gradually increase the speed as you get faster with recognition. Never look at the F2L pair you are currently solving, always look at the next one so if you can't find a pair in your inspection, try to at least get the cross memorized perfectly so you can look for the first pair while you solve it.
Thanks j perm now I know what is my problem while solving cube... and that is my cross is so bad...but I'm still curious how can you get 12 seconds with a slow turning...
J perm can you please show me the right tensioning and the springs of that cube? Because it's my one and only speed and expensive cube but is not comfortable to me so i need your right tensioning and springs thank you. 😉
Get what I got! I ordered a Yuxin Little Magic 3x3 cube. It's $2.99 on the cubicle. It's also like $5 on Amazon. It's really fast and good. Edit: mine comes today
Good tip. Bit u know i have pauses. Im not wazching the pai im doing but im still having problems finding twi matching pairs while the pieces are moving around. Any tips on that or is that just something that comes with time? Also. Can you make a video on how you choose ur first f2k pair to track during inspection.
I know that my biggest problem is doing algorithms too fast. My look ahead can’t keep up so after each f2l slot i tend to pause way too long. It’s a hard mental switch, but occasionally i slow down and focus more on my look ahead and, though it feels slower, my times improve by about 3 seconds (i average 20)

From learning the 3rd lear of the Rubiks cube to averaging sub 15
You were the guide during my journey
The opening solve is satisfying
This was perfect timing because I watched feliks solve 4x4 and it looked like he had sooo many pauses but he was averaging like 25 and I average barely sub 50.
The solves at the beginning just got to prove, that no pauses are so much more important than good tps
My main weakness is f2l it usually takes me over half the time I get just to finish f2l, I also take a while to do the cross. I also have terrible look ahead and ok tps. Oll and pll are relatively fast because I’m better with algorithms than actually figuring it out myself. My pauses also take a second or two which makes my time even longer.

Person A may use 20 moves in 7 seconds, but if person B only needs 9, they will obviously have no need to move as fast as person A.
