HERE I COME TO SAVE THIS VID!!! haha!! I will first address the common sense issue of needing the colors to match in each corner of the second step.. (That is the final goal of the second step, not the initial goal. You only need one corner partially aligned to proceed onto step 2. ) So.. for you who don't understand the "corner orientation" I hope this helps! Every corner of the cube contains 3 different colored surfaces that come to a corner or point. We know the top is yellow and now you know what each adjacent wall color is because of the bottom layer you have already finished So each corner contains 3 colors.. Top (yellow and the 2 colors of each particular face in that corner) Step 2: the point of this step is to ensure all the corner cubes of the top layer are in the correct location on the cube.. DO NOT worry about getting the YELLOW part on top and finished yet! The right cube in the right place, not the right position, that comes later! The 4 top corner cubes have to be the correct 3 colors to match the faces of that particular corner. Now we know each corner has a yellow part for the top.. It does not have to appear correctly on the cube yet!! Just in the "right orientation" step 3 will flip them around and match the colors to each corner...they just need to be in the correct position on the cube. The bottom layer is already correct so if you have an orange wall next to a green wall you need that corner cube to be orange, green and yellow for the top.. Even if green is on top, yellow with the orange and orange with the green on that corner of the cube... That is the right cube, it just needs to be rightly aligned later! The point is just getting the correct colored cube in the correct corner before the magic begins! Hope that makes sense!! STEP 2:'s failed communication issues; " Good case" "bad case" Alright now that's out of the way.. HERE is the larger issue everyone is facing with step 2. @3:50-4:06 should have been at the beginning of step 2 @ the 3:00 mark.. He wasn't very clear even then.. *** Some will get very lucky and all 4 corner cubes may be already in the correct orientation.. If that is the case you can move one to step 3. HERE is where is get tricky.. the algorithm given in step 2 ONLY works if ONE of the corners is correct. This is the "good case / bad case" thing i beleve he is talking about.. I don't think it even works if you have 2 in each corner, but he was running steps 2 and 3 right into eachother. He said you need 1 or 4 corners to match around 4:10 or so and that was a minute AFTER we started the Algorithm!! Not very clear what this meant until now.. Still not sure to be honest, but these were my findings after multiple failed and successful attempts. So to achieve step 2 correctly, inspect the top corners in the layer and arrange so only 1 corner is in the correct orientation (again, it does not have to be correctly facing the right ways, but the right colored cube has to be in the right corner, just one! More than one and the algorithm doesn't seem to work correctly in my experience) You can rotate the top layer around to try and make ONE good corner if you have none or multiple matching corners after step one. (I think he called it a u-turn at about 4:00 in the video) If you leave more than one good corner when you perform the algorithm you will be chasing your tail!, but that comes in handy later here! So BEFORE you do the algorithm see if you can make only ONE good corner, (just one correct cube in the correct corner, colors aren't alighned yet) not 2 or 3 correct corners, just ONE! If you can put that good corner in the top right of the cubes face you are working on, like in the video, the rest should be history if you complete the algorithm correctly.. It should then leave you with 4 properly positioned corners (you may have to rotate to align them u-turn that top layer) and you can carry on to step 3 to flip them around and get the colors aligned! OK!! Here is where is gets tricky.. If you finish step 1 and have rotated the top layer trying to find a position with one good corner and end up with more than one or none THE GAMES BEGIN! This was not addressed and can get a bit crazy if you didnt't get lucky with the arrangement from step one. This process can take you for a loop.. I kept finding a good corner and performing the algorithm and stuff kept jumping around everywhere.., but in this I found performing the algorithm flipped some pieces until I achieved ONE good corner. The algorithm is intended to leave the bottom layer intact so always perform it with the white side down.. What he is not explaining is the fact it isn't always a one hit wonder.. You may not find just one corner that is good to work off of so and then you go into a loop! So you have to check ALL top corners before step 2 and ensure only one of them is in the correct orientation. Then place that corner top right of the face facing you and work the algorithm.. If you have more than one good corner rotate the top and see if you can find a positon with ONLY ONE good corner.. IF NOT keeping the cube white side down perform the algorithm and try to make that ONE corner happen.. Once you find it, you should be good to go on to step 3 and finish it! This is probably why his cube arrangment kept changing that part of the video! Couple of swings and misses!! One hint for step 3 is to watch out for the other moving yellow cubes when performing the task.. You do not want to stop prematurely on the wrong cube and always finish the algorithm and be sure to rotate the top only!! not the whole cube when moving to the next corner! Hope that helps Drove me nuts as well! I hope I solved the rubix inside of the rubix video for y'all! Don't mind the repetition, i was just trying to make sure I got in your heads if more than one corner is in the correct orientation when you perform step 2 it won't work.. and if you have to do the algorithm multiple times to find the one corner and get them in place, be sure to keep the white side down as usual and it should give you some more options to work with. Don't forget to rotate the cubes top layer to find those corners before performing the algorithm over and over.. You can usually find one most of the time just by rotating like he did with the u-turn around the 4:00 mark.. God Bless!
anyone else who is confused as i was IMMENSLY is when you have all the pieces in the right spots just not the right colors in the places you do the small 4 part one(this is where i got confused cuz after doing these 4 turns it mixed up my white! THATS OK just keep doing the 4 until the piece on the upper right shows yellow side up) then twist the top to the next mixed up one and do the same exact thing again it literally fixes the white by doing this and you dont have to worry about the white anymore even though its all mixedup. THATS WHY i was sooooo confused. I got discouraged because the white kept getting ruined. But didnt realize that by fixing the colors using that system it literally solves it. REALLLY hope this helps someone out
@@Zion-lr4bj if you know how to solve a 3x3, flip it for the first step so the yellow is on the top and do the left/ right algs you would do on a 3x3. same for the yellow corners, get the yellow at the bottom once they are in the right place and keep repeating the right algorithm
In Step 2, why do you say the red on top, yellow on the side is a "good case?" Isn't yellow supposed to be opposite of the white, which was on the bottom? Which corner makes a "good case" to do the 8 step algorithm?
That part confuses me also! I rewatched so many times trying different color scenarios because I do not understand what makes it a good case or a bad case. How do you KNOW what corner is good if there is only one good corner? Ugh 😣
Hey Simon! It's me Abdullah but on another devise! Thanks again, know thanks to you I know how to solve a 2x2 and 3x3 in under 10 seconds. Thank you!!!!
what do you do when you have all white on the bottom face and all yellow on the top face but the colors don't match on the sides like at 4:09 in your video?
You're absolutely right. If you know how to solve the 3x3 cube, this one is a piece of cake. After you get one side done and invert the cube, you basically just use the same last two algorithms as you would for the 3x3. I wish I could have seen this on my own, but I don't actually have a 2x2 cube. I only get a chance to play with them occasionally in the random novelty shop, where I don't have sufficient time. Thanks for making me a little bit smarter🙂
After 2 hours I got it. Some clarifications: the goal of step 2 is to get the four yellow corners in the right position (regardless if their inner colors are properly placed). Finally the goal of the step 3 is to finish the cube. Do not bother if the procedure of step 3 mess with the white side, just keep doing it until the cube is solved.
Personally my steps are 1. Solve the first layer, i already can since i speed solve 3x3s its pretty straightforward 2. Oll, using "R U R' U R U2' " i make one yellow corner facing up, i put that in the for left or front right depending on which one have a yellow face facing twords me then repeat to finish oll 3.i find one solid color and put it to the left and do a j perm with my right hand
Wow ! This is the best 2x2 tutorial thank you . I was solving it a harder way and it took more time to solve but this is a great tutorial on how to get faster at it
3:00 I don't understand the part in the second step where you said to locate a piece that's in the correct position. You chose a piece which is very clearly in the wrong position.
Step 1 was best description I’ve seen on you tube, step 2 was lacking so I can get top layer done and then have no idea what to select or why saying the correct piece doesn’t mean anything if you don’t know why
@@asb1359 normally it'll only effect the last layer. So complete first as described complete the OLL phase by twisting the corners then do PLL. Not to discredit this tutorial that is good an focused on rookies but learn your left, right, up, down and prime moves then use a PLL sheet to finish. There are only 2 PLL's for 2x2 and multiple ways you can do it. Obvously only use the corner twists as a cube fix and not as a solve. I hope this helps, happy cubing!
it's the exact same as the 3x3 but you don't need to worry about the steps involving the middle cubes. you can actually make a 3x3 act like a 2x2 if you don't move the middle pieces.
@@learningwithfun7713 Because it's an instructional video. I'm lost so hard at the 4 minute mark because I have no idea why he's doing what he's doing.
I'm having some troubles on the last layer every time I do the last algorithm the white is all mixed-up I keep doing it again and again but the white is the only problem I don't know if I'm doing it wrong but I'll try again
so step one, my logo piece has white, blue and red. The other three cubes with white on them are as follows. White, red, green. White, blue, orange, White, orange, green. Now what genius? I cannot get past step one. Great Video!
Dude when i first got mine i would yang the corner out but it would still be on and then the color would move to like the top if i twisted the corner a bit out and move it up i think i messed mine up (plus im confused with what the algorithm is and how it works)
yay! Thanks. I know how to solve the 3x3 and I was pretty sure every time I tried solving the 2x2 that I was overthinking it because I knew it was similar to the 3x3 but easier. So thanks.
2 by 2 is so easy I dont even know why I'm watching this I already figured out my own method MONTHS ago 😂😂 Tip: Just imagine a 3x3 but without sides and middle, and use the same moves to get them in the right place. Nice video though!
I've watched Step 2 at least 30 times and I'm still confused. I wish you clearly explained what the "right" position is for a corner and what exactly you are looking for. Your replies in the comments are as equally unhelpful :(
Not gonna lie all I watched is when you said down up left right, so I just experimented with that and ended up getting it in less than 5! My tip for others is to not lose track what you're working on, don't jump around too much.
Oh great.. my comment has just vanished. Meh.. So there I go again.. ':/ You are absolutely right; this method cannot work. After the cut in the video he continues with a different scramble which does not have the two corners next to each other. Here is how it works: Place the two pieces you want to swap in the front of the top layer. (UFL and UFR, you basically have one thumb on each of the wrong corners) Then you do: [ R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2 U' ] - Swap done For swapping diagonally I've created this: [ F' U R' F2 U' R F U R2 U R' ] Not the nicest algorithm in history, but it works. Of course you also could simply use the first one twice in a row and come to the same result. Then everything should work out, as it is explained in the video.
Thanks for the breakdown! 🤔 Just a small off-topic question: 😅 I have these words 🤨. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). What should I do with this? 🤷♂️
I feel like solving the first layer could have been done intuitively, just speaking from experience because I’m also a cuber so looking at this made me wanna help a bit, but yeah I only use 3 algorithms at most on this cube most of what I do is intuitive
TheSimonShi Yeah, yeah I get that I just noticed that some cases you used algorithms for to get the first layer done could have been like 2-3 turns max, but overall great way of explaining this, I let my little brother watch and he understands your explanations better than most other videos he’s watched, so keep it up mate.
@@thesimonshi your a real one for replying to almost every comment and from comments on videos made months ago, and taking time to tell ppl in the comments, very admirable.

very true Z3cubing does this video's method too
I keep getting stuck on the second part how do you distinguish which one is the correct Square to start with once you have flipped it over.
Same bruh
Exactly. Such a critical step completely unexplained
Same I dont really understand the "orient" step can someone explain???
dude fr liked the comment but won't replay lol
So basically if there is red row and green row, and piece matches them then its good. A red green yellow piece would be suited best.
Bro ima use ur videos for all my rubics cube solving problems
I feel like a failed human being that I had to search for this 😭
Trust me your not. This is so hard lol
3:07 what is a correct or not right position?
Trying to figure that out too! My cube is different colors, how do you know what’s the right position?
I always get the bottom half and then two top pieces but I can’t ever get the last two because by then there’s too many pieces to pay attention to
Wow, an easier way, thank you!
Omg lol he's has to be the best at explaining
You are the best this is the easiest method I have ever seem thank you
2 by 2 is so easy I dont even know why I'm watching this I already figured out my own method MONTHS ago 😂😂
Tip:
Just imagine a 3x3 but without sides and middle, and use the same moves to get them in the right place.
Nice video though!
@@thesimonshi thanks 😁
Same with me
Your vids always work! Thanks!!
I've watched Step 2 at least 30 times and I'm still confused. I wish you clearly explained what the "right" position is for a corner and what exactly you are looking for.
Your replies in the comments are as equally unhelpful :(
Yes I agree says less than 5 mins thought it would be good CLICKBAIT
This comment right here! Doesn't explain what makes it the right position at all!
I 100% agree
Actually worked, did not think it would work
This is the best 2x2 tutorial on RUclips! I'm 40 and I just solved my first rubix cube!! Thanks this is so much easier to follow than the others!!
Tq soo much I learnt 2×2 now I will learning 3×3 Thank You soo much bro ☺️🥰💕
like.
can you pls do ortega method also? your tutorials r easy to understand
Good Video!

My kids got McDonald's happy meal rubiks and now I have to solve them haha! #bestmomever
Not gonna lie all I watched is when you said down up left right, so I just experimented with that and ended up getting it in less than 5! My tip for others is to not lose track what you're working on, don't jump around too much.
Pal
So what do you do if it's a "bad case"? I'm stuck on that, 2 of the last 4 in the correct place, next to each other.
Turn the top layer any direction and see if 1 piece matches,then do the algorithm
This helped me i solved my 2x2x2
Finally it worked...after 3 different tutorials 😂 my brain needs to combine all 3 for this to work. Thank you!
You commented this on someone else’s as well
@@step2965 yes i did on all 3 vids 😂. Just dropped by to express my thanks
The Steps at 4:22 don't work for me?
Oh great.. my comment has just vanished. Meh.. So there I go again.. ':/
You are absolutely right; this method cannot work. After the cut in the video he continues with a different scramble which does not have the two corners next to each other.
Here is how it works:
Place the two pieces you want to swap in the front of the top layer. (UFL and UFR, you basically have one thumb on each of the wrong corners)
Then you do: [ R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2 U' ] - Swap done
For swapping diagonally I've created this: [ F' U R' F2 U' R F U R2 U R' ] Not the nicest algorithm in history, but it works.
Of course you also could simply use the first one twice in a row and come to the same result.
Then everything should work out, as it is explained in the video.
I learnt it totally intuitively cuz of my 3x3 knowledge
Same
I was just curious, and since I can do the 3x3, I realized it isnt even worth buying because og how easy it is for me now :/
Thanks for the breakdown! 🤔 Just a small off-topic question: 😅 I have these words 🤨. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). What should I do with this? 🤷♂️
He didn’t need an algorithm for when it was under he just needed to move the top to the side then move that piece up and move the top back
True....but does that work all the time?
Thankyou now I no to solve pirimex and 2x2
Yayyy congrats 🎉
Finally, after the 3x3, I'm able to solve the 2x2. Next challenge the 4x4. Let's goooo! 😎
Thank you very much! I really appreciate you!
I came here because I couldn't solve a Mc Donalds 2x2 happy meal rubik's cube.. feelsbadman
Lmao I’m here rn with my mcdonalds Rubik’s cube
I did it 🥳
Your method worked well. Well done Good man ! Thank you We solved the 2x2 cube easily !!!
U know what I’m talking about you know what 🎉🎉😂😂😂😂😂
I feel like solving the first layer could have been done intuitively, just speaking from experience because I’m also a cuber so looking at this made me wanna help a bit, but yeah I only use 3 algorithms at most on this cube most of what I do is intuitive
TheSimonShi Yeah, yeah I get that I just noticed that some cases you used algorithms for to get the first layer done could have been like 2-3 turns max, but overall great way of explaining this, I let my little brother watch and he understands your explanations better than most other videos he’s watched, so keep it up mate.
The video:
*five minutes and thirty seven seconds long*
Everyone: you lied to us
Thanks it actually worked 👍👍
i used to think people solve cube by fluck,but now i know how to solve a 2x2 rubix cube
It really helps , thanks bro
Very easy to learn ❤️
to branko, e.z. kuz good teacher! sinplifying the method.
I used to be able to do this no problem now I’m having a hard time
Would it still work for me if i used the algorithm that you used?
cool i learned it easy thank you❤️

Thank you I have learnt 2x2 cube
This video really helped me a lot thank you so much!!!😃
Thank you so much👍👍👍
How to go from a cheap 2x2, to a MGC
Thank you
You're welcome
I watching this so I can solve my friends cube lol
Edit: I got my own 2x2 and this actually really helped me thx 😊
Ah yes now I can be the big brain for a Rubik's now hehe.
Just got one! Love the tutorial
@@thesimonshi your a real one for replying to almost every comment and from comments on videos made months ago, and taking time to tell ppl in the comments, very admirable.
Why did you do that so first I can't do this
Where is the message I can't see it
My cubus till mixed
Can you do that slow
Thanks for Simple method😃

why is the 2x2 so much harder than the 3x3?
I have been trying to do my 2 by 2, with this video for ages. I can onoy seem to get one layer. I follow instructions to the latter and I complete top layer. Flip it and follow instructions further. And then complete 2nd layer. But then the 1st layer is now not complete. Where am I going wrong. Please help.

Solve!
Tanks :v
Thank you bro... Nice voice and nice explanation...
Im having trouble memorizing algs... Any tips?
i have a tip
dont think of them all as an algorithm and try to think of it as something else
for me i imagine a scenario happening on the cube but for you it might be different
5:36 is under 5 mins?
I like your video! Thank you for helping me with my rubix cube. How long did it take you to get good at it?
Many thanks. I solved successfully.
What is my only piece that’s in the right spot is already solved
Fortnite kid
Thank you so much for this tutorial
Literally 0 of these tutorials worked on the brink of crying
The white side got scrambled at the end so it didn't work (edit) I GOT IT FINALLY TY I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE THIS CUBE SINCE I GOT IT THANK YOU
thanks i finaly learned
