9 CRUCIAL Beginner F2L Cases That You Need To Know

After the overwhelming success of my intermediate F2L cases video (link down below) I knew that I had to make one for beginner F2L. So here you go: the most important beginner F2L tricks and F2L cases that you need to know. But please keep in mind that this is not an F2L tutorial. This video is meant to show you the cases and how to solve them, but is not meant to teach F2L as a whole. With that in mind, I still think that these are the best F2L algs for their respective cases, and they will be very helpful.

[@mdif-mcandmore1990]

I remember I used to think that the only thing that makes cubes speedcubes is because of their round stickers

[@thewoollyonion1567]

MDIF - MC and More lol

[@wakkle]

Tbh we all thought that when we were mediocre

[@edenschannel101]

Noice

[@dromicskull4685]

Mee too

[@RandomPerson-iy1on]

Wait the sticker isn’t what makes a speed cube?

Safwan Haris411 you may know f2l but you don’t know English grammar

[@FlukxyXD]

Him:This is not gonna be a f2l tutorial Also him: proceeds to show everything u need for f2l

[@markusniederost2349]

As a Roux solver right from the start but interested in other methods I'm always glad there are some guys who show the basic CFOP stuff. Very well explained. Thanks for that.

[@airborne9534]

Watch J perm, I watched his videos for cfop

[@BrodytheCuber]

Hey guys!! Make sure to like the video and share it with your friends!! And thank you to everyone who was at the premiere!! Unfortunately I couldn't be there, but I'll try to be at as many as possible in the future!!

[@amitjain-eth]

hey brody i am sub 23 my cross take abut 3-4 sec and f2l abut 12 sec and ll takes about 8 -10 sec what should i work on to get to sub 20

[@Cameron-yg3ox]

k

[@pikachufan1415]

Ok 🤣🤣🤣

[@maestr0damus356]

Great video! Was able to solve using beginners method and started learning F2L. The more and more I do it, I'm recognizing similar cases and most of the pair solves are intuitive. Thanks for sharing this video. It really helps.

[@prd_octrain1831]

This is one of the best f2l videos I've watched! Every f2l video I watched was really random and hard to understand. I like how every thing is categorized and not randomized! Love your vids

[@pee9070]

"Move the everything back down" *Applause*

[@deenate2205]

Frs tho

[@ePocalypse]

Thank you very much Brody this video is helping get a better understanding of F2L especially at the 6:08 minute mark of "hide the edge." And at 8:01 my brain just exploded because I have never seen an efficient display of a F2L case. I never knew on how to do F2L case properly. I have been cubing for well over 2 years and this tutorial made me remember the basics of cubing. Well back to practicing for me. Thanks again for all of your hard work and dedication on spreading knowledge to an old school cuber and the cubing community.

[@dragone2785]

Learning full OLL is my next step for me but i know full PLL and of course improving my f2l

[@zerdox4]

im so happy u didnt said "full f2l"

[@abrahamm.8276]

Aditya Bhate that’s the case for me I know full f2l I know most F2L cases but still 2 look OLL and a few oll algs It’s gonna be a pain to learn it all but it’ll be worth it bc Rn I average 21

[@xx-sk5oy]

Firexz Gaming im sub 10 and i dont know full oll lol i hate learning algs

[@chase5855]

Just use BrOLL

[@fartcard5543]

@Aditya Bhate maybe that’s what they want

[@ohiodevildog85]

Thanks, Brody. I never thought to hide the edge and move the corner.

[@lahyessam9725]

I finally got under 1minute using the beginner method , I can now complete the cube blind folded because I switched to a cube with a sides that are the same color.

[@manshitrivedi9138]

You say it's not a tutorial but your explanation was better than a tutorial 😄

[@freerunopa]

I know 2FL but have to watch this video several times to understand all of it. No problem. It belongs to the category from learning proces

[@TheUndercoverCeo]

so useful i used to spent like 20moves per pair an now i improved my average by 4 secconds because of this

[@pedropinon2553]

Awesome video. Surprisingly, I already knew all the cases before watching, but I hadn't really understood the last couple of them till you showed slowly how you solved them. I was just doing them mechanically, applying algs without knowledge... but now I know what those algs are for and therefore I won't ever forget them. Thanks

[@masterbuilder1862]

i always think of brody as the f2l guy out of all the other cubing youtubers

[@yukeshkumar2596]

The only F2L tutorial which makes sense

[@vanillaa7105]

Oh my god this video was helpful to me as a beginner, straight forward as hell and is explain intuitively.

[@HumbleCuber]

Great video Can you consider making a how to get from sub 40 down to sub 30 That would be very helpful for many. Thanks

[@perkonm]

for me, that's all about F2L. I'm 35-43. My last layer is 11 seconds, but my PLL recognition is horrible. But my first 2 layers takes 26-32 seconds... get your first 2 layers to 20 and you're good

[@HumbleCuber]

@@perkonm Ok Thanks Man

[@ahingsiapa2553]

Try to master F2L, Remember All edges filled oll ,

[@emdadhossain7396]

u can try to memorize some common oll and plls, and solve the cube slower but dont stop. im sub 30.

[@george8702]

ye It really would i average 40 seconds rn and can't fund any sub 40 tutorials I use cfop!!!!!

[@BoyOfLol]

For case 8, it depends on the style of the cuber, but you can put the corner in the slot with U R U' R', then do a U and that sets up to a double sexy insert. It's a few more moves but it can be executed quickly and it's easy on the look ahead.

[@BrodytheCuber]

yeah that can work too, but for some reason that's less common than the other solutions I showed. I recommend doing solution #1 when possible, but the other two and the one you mentioned are all interchangeable

[@nasarkhan2564]

Great Brody... It is a very nice video. I am a beginner, it helps me a lot to easily understand and remember the moves. I highly appreciate your work. Keep it up dear...

[@flash24g]

It would be nice if this gave a move sequence to set up each of the cases, so we can more easily practise them while watching.

[@Phoenix-nh9kt]

you can literally do the same "solving" algorithm 2 times to get that case.

[@eddie9965]

This video actually helps so much

[@flexfn339]

I love Brody he has some of the best tips him and jperm are the best

[@LukeMcRitchie]

Oh my I’ve been done much worse versions of some of these by using F moves to hid pieces and that’s much faster the way you have shown. Thanks

[@guy-from-china]

you earned yourself a sub +1 :)

[@NishanthSwaminathan]

Thank you so much Brody for making this video!Espically in the 3rd category i would cube rotate a lot just to solve the pair

[@ethanbruce7647]

Thanks for the tips Brody, I’m currently learning F2L and this has helped.

[@siddhantbagchi4131]

I have set a reminder. Have you!?

[@hanifsendmeamessageingmail345]

No

[@endlessocean1731]

This video is very helpful. I’ve been looking for video like this. Thank you verymuch.

[@patwhelan5683]

These are great videos and I take an occasional screen shot of a new algorithm to help me memorize. I wanted to add a little something to learning how to look ahead doing F2L. Recently I became quite interested in solving a 3 x 3 with one hand. Obviously it really slowed me down but because I knew how to solve with 2 hands it helped me look through my moves and solve faster.

[@avinashport9740]

Finally I got f2l ,thank you so much

[@lyingcat9022]

The one with an opposite color connected pair that you can pull out a solved pair and just put it right back after solving your current pair is a good one :) I did not know that one. Thanks!

[@butterybandanabrofo4277]

I watched this when I first started cubing and had no clue what f2l is. Well now this is useful

[@ferozchowdhury6140]

you gotta give everyone a chance and love you brody bro

[@shuaibmomath4057]

I can tell that this is gon help me lots already

[@bobmarley6306]

@BrodyTheCuber Very good video, I'm in the process of teaching F2L to a few friends and this will really help them grasp the basics.

[@BrodytheCuber]

This is good for teaching cases but it doesn't give any real understanding. So be careful using it to teach F2L

[@bobmarley6306]

@@BrodytheCuber I think it gives enough, since you say things like "hide the corner" or "hide the edge" and you go slow to really make it clear what you're doing. Some tutorials only give the algorithm on screen and perform it unclearly with no extra detail.

[@perkonm]

@@bobmarley6306 I agree. This is helpful as a starting point, seriously. I mean after learning what f2L is, definitely use these cases. I knew all but one, but this is totally useful. You can go from here to learn more cases. I really like how useful these cases are and how simple to learn.

Hey Brody can you do a video for preserving f2l pairs

[@IllShivyou]

arha veraepalli bro just sledgehammer

[@kevinwon9438]

I learned all pll and 2 look oll this is so good

[@DarkVoidIII]

Regarding unsolving a solved pair, I reckon one should avoid doing the moves that unsolve a corner and edge pair. If you're solving the cube, you only want to do the case that solves the indicated edges and corners of the cube properly. KZbinr J Perm has a J Perm video on his channel, that, oddly enough, will solve any pair without scrambling the cube. There's a video on his channel on how he solves a Rubik's Cube using only the J Perm variants of cube rotations.

[@DN-xt6jm]

I know this already but i love you so im watcthing you

[@a1dz_]

Thanks so much dude!!! Now I don't have to rotate my cube when doing f2l! (Ps. Love ur vids)

Im pretty sure to insert a made par you can just use slegdehammer

[@boudescotch]

You can do both, sledgehammer is usually slower tho

[@eternity9099]

This was awesome

[@Scarab1]

1:58 or you could move the blue edge to the blue center and do R’ F R F’ then rotate the corner above the edge piece and do R U R’ U’ R U R’ then the corner and edge are solved

[@noriad1st-_-d938]

wow 3 years now an you went from 8k subs to almost 75k impressive

[@bazinga2788]

5:09 That alg break another f2l pair lmao

[@aneesh7123]

Can u please make a vid on advance f2l cases

[@BrodytheCuber]

I have!

[@SihveliSane]

There is easier way to solve that 8th case. If you would just do U to move it to the empty slot, then you could do a pair with F' U2 F and then put the corner on the right spot and insert it normally. I find it a bit easyer🤗

[@eryela1121]

thank you for the video really helped me keep at it (:

I’ve recently picked cubing back up I got to where I could solve beginners method in about a min and just started f2l up and having lil trouble kind of looking for someone to help

[@DN-xt6jm]

Thanks

[@isaacmueller7225]

Brody, I know a lot of algs, maybe 100, I solve roux so maybe you can help me but I could still use your tips, I am Slow, really slow. I average about 45 seconds but I do way more advanced things. I have looked at my solves and think that I have a crazy move count, i have seen people with way less moves and turn slower but are faster. It took me a while to realise that but now i have and do you have any tips apart from Practice. I have been solving like 6 months now and can solve 2x2, 2x2x4, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, void cube, armadillo cube and so on. Should I focus more on move count instead of speed?

[@noodlemans]

I feel good about knowing all these except that next to last one. The “break it and reinsert it” trick is my takeaway from this video.

[@skipper12]

Nice video!

[@Ask22]

It would be nice if you had these cases broken down to individual videos love what you have done here.

[@doublepain6991]

i improved a ton from your pll and oll cases. f2l i cant understand cause i average at 30 sec

[@luckyhugs6163]

Thanks. Very helpful. :)

[@mykallange3417]

I feel like a lot of those pairs could have been inserted more fluid with R’FRF’ . Sledgehammer. Or maybe I’m seeing it now cuz I just started using them 🤷‍♂️

[@spaghetti1383]

Using F moves usually requires regrips which significantly slows down the solve. You might not turn fast enough to realize it now but when you do, you will regret committing bad habits to muscle memory. Use R and U moves over F moves whenever possible.

[@Syzygizing]

Logan Hargrove I hate f moves with a passion I’ll do anything to avoid them

[@nathanritter541]

I'm a new cuber who still uses two-look CFOP and I just got a new personal best of 18.1 seconds
