Beginner Rubik's Cube Blindfolded Tutorial Part 2 | Cycle Breaks and Memorising

[@harrybowlzack]

Never thought I could learn blindfolded solving but here I am! Thank you very much

[@MartynRice1]

Finally managed to complete a blind solve! The memorisation is the hardest part but these guides helped so much, thank you Charlie!

[@swiftcubing]

Good job!

[@chutikarnsaengnil8074]

how do you know which pieces didn’t get notated or swapped yet

[@buuild]

in the beggining, keep ur finger on the ones u notated, but as u do it more u wont need to

[@hasanalizeingamer5567]

Whatch p1

[@Jimyjonson]

you can just count how many you’ve done, if it is as many as there are edges, you should have covered all of them

[@erisacukani]

Pure memory. Look for unsolved pieces

[@gergojanosi2788]

But if there are already solved pices Than you Will have less​@@Jimyjonson

Best BLD tutorial!

[@curiousNic]

Ngl the cycle breaking looked a bit intimidating in the beginning but with your explanation and the example solves, I feel more encouraged that I can do this. After my comp month I'll start my blind journey.

Thanks for the tutorial, In have a question, how do I know if I solved all the pieces or if i still have some left to go?

[@BILLYGames99]

when you get to last step like solving G or others you do moves to get G to opposite of buffer and then do algorithm and then you undo moves so you solved

[@yosvaldomaizo6579]

Oh my friend I didn't understand blind until friend recommended me this video thank you so much

[@glaglon38]

Hi Charlie! So i got about 4 success blind with your tutorial and i am really happy, its a great tuto. I wondered if you had any tricks to know how many cycles you have. I have to count this at the begining of every solve and it takes a lot of time. How do you do it so fast? Is it just with practice that you know if you memorised every piece ? Thank you, and also i find your video really good, you are the best content creator in my opinion.

[@amozcheng]

I finally learned cycle braking ! Thanks a lot !

[@Mastercubeing123]

I love solving rubies cubes and I always wanted to learn ho to do it blindfolded and I think this is the video that can finally teach me how to do it thanks to you

[@shijisimon3923]

A very good tutorial and I am waiting for part 3

[@swiftcubing]

Working on it!

[@MartynRice1]

Not only have i now memorised which places are which letters, but I've watched this so many times that i think I've memorised the whole transcript 😂😂

[@SlowerCuber]

Thank you for making this awesome video! I have a question about tracing: Any tips on finding untraced pieces and/or not missing piece(s) left untraced? For example spatial memory? Revisit the memorized string again?

[@swiftcubing]

At the start, it can help to put your fingers on each of the pieces you trace to, but as you get faster you'll over time just get a feeling for what you've been to and what you haven't

[@SlowerCuber]

Hi ! I'm from brazil! And you helped me!

[@leith9782]

I didnt see your channrl util now but you earned a sub

[@zackikianimations]

Charlie, how do we know if we didn't reach a piece yet?

[@CubeBread-w4e]

Thanks for the vid Charlie

[@mr_pich]

for the first example where the buffer is flipped, why is there not the letter of the buffer swap position (I know this might be cryptic, but take "I" for instance) Thanks! This video is helpful overall and easy to understand.

[@meraldlag4336]

Due to the nature of the cube, you can never have 1 corner twisted - this means that if you remember the right letters for the other corners to be oriented, the buffer will be oriented too

[@lolthedol505sus]

You just got a sub!

[@tetriospeed]

@swiftcubing can you please tell how you know which edges/corners you havent cycled too so you know where to restart ur cycle

[@Arthur-gg2dn]

Great vid every thing I need

[@Arthur-gg2dn]

Which piece is the easiest to go on next when you have a cycle break. Is there one you always go to.

[@Arthur-gg2dn]

Also how do you learn the words for making a story like what would AH or ZU and so on.

[@Arthur-gg2dn]

Could you make a pdf or something we can download for our letters and set up moves

[@swiftcubing]

any work, when you learn execution, you'll find that some are more ideal than others but it's not a big deal at this stage @@Arthur-gg2dn

[@swiftcubing]

You just come up with the words yourself@@Arthur-gg2dn

[@unpuzzleit]

Thank you soooo much!!! I can finally understand a 3x3 blind tutorial. Also there was one question I had. What method would this be called?

[@koral00920]

I'm the 3rd example you explained, why didn't you note anything when the buffer was flipped? I tried to do it myself before watching your explanation and I still noted the letter M (as the red sticker would go from B to M and then back). Also in the last cycle I noted KUK while you skipped that last K and I wonder why? I guess it's not so important as long as you know where a cycle starts/ends and in this case it's kind of intuitive. But I was just wondering though ;) Anyways, your tutorial is great and very easy to understand. There are some others on KZbin but yours is the first that I can truly keep up with. Thank you!

[@MizhiBirb]

Because if you do a flipped edge, you're going back to the same piece, not the same sticker. if it hits the same piece it counts as a cycle break. Sometimes it's on the same sticker, sometimes it's not.

[@Weluvwazowski]

Nicely explained there mate. How did the comp go yesterday???? Keep up your great content

Shot Charlie ❤❤❤

[@vvaidmc]

hey, love this video! im starting to get pretty good at the old pochmann method and want to get better at blind solving. do you know what i could do to improve past the beginner level (as in tips or a different method)? thanks and great video!

[@swiftcubing]

That's awesome! There are a couple of things that you can do to improve that I hope to make future videos covering, but for now here's a quick run down. You can learn M2, which is a faster method for solving the edges of the cube. And also, you can review the memorisation less and less times, which will speed up your memorisation. You can do this gradually. Further from that, there are more advanced methods such as 3-style but for now learning M2 and reviewing your memo less should help you get much faster

[@vvaidmc]

@@swiftcubing Thanks for the advice! Do you know where I could learn m2?

[@Lucashallal]

[@suziewhite7034]

Great video 😊

[@ArchanaS-iy5il]

Any tips on how to know the pieces I have missed while memorizing?

[@swiftcubing]

When you are starting out, it can be good to put your fingers on pieces that you've been to so you can tell which ones you haven't yet. As you get faster, you'll just gain sort of more of an intuition and you won't need to use your fingers.

[@ArchanaS-iy5il]

Thank you. Waiting for part 3

[@TheCubicWizard]

Hey charlie! i wanted to ask, how do we know which pieces we need to cycle break into?

[@JohnLark-k9y]

The ones you haven't solved yet, If you reach the buffer by going through a memorisation, then just look to any unsolved piece. And then remember the letter of the piece thats unsolved, thats the beginning of your new cycle.

[@TheCubicWizard]

@JohnLark-k9y yes but how would i know if i memo'ed that piece or not?

[@JohnLark-k9y]

@@TheCubicWizard Try to map out the edges that are getting moved with your fingers or mentally, think of it like a string links each edge together. If you are unsure if you are finished, you can check each layer of the cube to see if you have memorised the pieces. if you want to know quickly, check if the you have 12 or 13 letters memorised for edges or 8-9 for corners, it can be lower if there is a piece solved already, Also check the cycles, as you get better you will be able to see flipped pieces and also 2 flips (2 cycles), you will know if you have solved them.

[@Mythic0lCub3r]

This is the solution that I came up for the very last problem, the hardest one. Pls reply to tell me if it's correct. I capitalized the letters that I used in the tracing. Corners: SIgma had some CEnsored WaFfles with MR bob which was quite ODd - in the BackGround Edges: UR TeCh is sPEd M - Ark’s VoltsWagon GAmes

[@DrySnow-op2ez]

No matter how well you explained everything, I still can’t understand cycle breaking and I feel like it’s nearly the last thing I need..😭

[@mdaffailhami]

Should I be consistent with letter pair words, for example for the DG pair mine is DoG

[@swiftcubing]

It can be helpful, but especially in the early stages it isn't a necessity.

[@bianoh2o]

Should I start by tracing and solving the corners, the edges, the oposit of this, or doesnt metter, I will have the same result?? Thnx

[@Only2scoops]

22:39 im not sure why you cycle vroke it with q bcuz after I put c x and i?

[@swiftcubing]

I chose to cycle break to B which meant when I got back to that piece that B is on, that was the end of the cycle. So Q was the end of the cycle. And then i Had to cycle break into the twisted corner after that. Hope this helps!

[@Only2scoops]

When you said WA I think of a Mario character my mind went straight to wario 😂😂.

So I either make full stories in English which takes me longer or I put in a English word when k and w show up XD. Great tutorial keep up the good work. I'll be waiting for the next 😄

[@DrySnow-op2ez]

Hi Charlie, I would to ask for some advice to memo the cornebers a bit better even tho I can trace and solve 10 edges I can’t solve 8 corners….

[@TheCubicWizard]

Hello Charlie! sorry for the comment in last vid, i finally understood it lol, but i have one more question, do we memo all the pieces we started with in every cycle break in the end? so never first cycle but always other cycles?

[@TheCubicWizard]

By the way, is this the solution for cycle breaking edges practice 1? K N D P - J I G H T E J

[@TheCubicWizard]

I may have missed a few letters because i may have confused getting to one or another edge, but ill get there.

[@TheCubicWizard]

heres another solution for cycle breaking edges practice 2: H W V G J - I C F T I

[@puppyrafe4854]

Thank u so much bro

[@CubingChaos-Liv444]

How to do you which pieces you’ve memorised already? Also can you turn the letter you remembered for each piece into a word that starts with that letter? Won’t that be easier?

[@yyygaming5936]

When I cycle break I memorise the sticker that I'm gonna use as buffer piece? In the first example you showed you noted J R J not just R J (in the first cycle you don't memorise the buffer piece at the start too but onwards you memorise it for both the end and the start of the cycle?

[@yyygaming5936]

Maybe I understood it wrong, if I Cycle to an unsolved piece in a 2nd cycle, would the buffer piece get solved? Because I unsolve it first for the 2nd cycle tracing Also what cube are you using in the video?

hello, thanks a lot, it was so good for my cubing, also there in practice 3 of edge cycle breaking you left 'bm' am i right?

[@FaisalMohammadi-g3c]

🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@yyygaming5936]

Does it matter if I start my tracing from corners then edges or edges then corners? I think J Perm starts with tracing edges then corners, does it matter? (I'll probably do corners then edges anyway but just asking)

[@swiftcubing]

It is best to start with corners first and edges second because that is what will be best later on as you get faster, so starting with good habits will be best. When we get to execution though, you will have to execute edges first and then corners

[@yyygaming5936]

Ok thanks!

Yup!

[@yyygaming5936]

Ok good to know, thanks!

[@jonmaslyn8012]

How do you know where to start a cycle break?

[@Guporo]

15:21 why didn’t you started with “m” because you have a flipped edge

[@swiftcubing]

Because it was our buffer in place, so we needed to cycle breK to another place that we hadn't solves yet

[@Guporo]

But the buffer was twisted so how do you twist it back?

[@Guporo]

Oh wait, correct me if I’m wrong, but when the buffer is twisted then another edge needs to be twisted also and when you twist back an edge the buffer will also be twisted

[@swiftcubing]

if the buffer is in it's place at all (even flipped/twisted), then you need to cycle break to another unsolved piece. It is impossible for just the buffer to be flipped/twisted and every other piece solved, so cycle break into the unsolved pieces.@@Guporo

[@swiftcubing]

yup@@Guporo

Hey, can't wait for part 3, but i wondered will you teach the algorithm to switch buffer and other pieces😅 Btw very good torturial
