This video was really great honestly, especially for new people to this concept. Im personally doing this for a while now, and it works great

[@JavaCuber]

:D

[@ASMAAKTER-un3co]

​@@JavaCuber is it good for sub 30??

[@cattebayo]

@@ASMAAKTER-un3co you shouldnt need to plan cross+1 for sub30. learn PLL and just get faster at planning cross and F2l and you shoukl be sub 24

[@c00bmaster]

never thought before to try to actively think about EO while planning cross+1, huh. good idea!

[@cubisthenos6299]

I recognize all cases based on the orientation of the edge and location of the cross color on the respective corner. Being able to instantly recognize EO is super useful when practicing pair choice because it lets you know if you're choosing bad pairs, leading to pointless rotations

[@JavaCuber]

yeah, looking at EO gives me an idea of which pair I want to look at first to become my potential first pair

[@TriCubing]

3:41 if the last move on your cross solution, like this one, and the edge you're tracking is a bad one, you can actually change its orientation to a good edge by simply doing a wide U move instead of a D move

[@mateotoala2385]

I actually was using this EO trick to predict first pair faster because i only need the edge orientation and where the white face of the corner will end up. But great video :)

[@JavaCuber]

exactly

[@Biryani2op]

This makes learning how to predict first pair a bit easier since before whenever I tried predicting first pair I either just messed up or was only getting by the skin of my teeth

[@Rouxvoloution]

this was really helpful

[@adonisg.j7430]

Practicing cross+1 for hours getting 5minutes and so But after watching this video at first i thought you were being vague with the eo then i watched a tutorial to understand the edge orientation, went on to practice cross+1 and I'm getting an average sub 1mins from 5,6,7 and my dnf reduced because i now know how to slot in my pairs after inspection no more pauses So thank you Although I'm still a long way off since my execution takes 4secs on average

[@DjentyMcDjentFace7990]

Dude this line of thought made tracking edges in inspection so much easier, thanks.

[@JavaCuber]

Glad it helped!

[@lexachu_]

Haha saw you talking about this on stream, and you quickly made a video. I cant do one look crosses so I will be saving this video for later.

[@j.c.n4301]

I would have done L push U' F' and it becomes a 3 mover

[@nevercubing3400]

Can you make more example solves like this it's always help me alot😄

[@cuberstache]

Yo you actually made the video. I'm pretty good at planning cross+1 already but we'll see what I can learn from this.

[@JavaCuber]

:D

[@rujon288]

yes you redid the video kinda

[@thesphyrth]

Or you could just use Petrus. Yay! I get to use a dead meme.

[@f_depi]

That was so helpful, I don’t know why I never thought that I just need to track if the edge is oriented and where the white sticker is to being able to solve a pair. Thank you!

[@tomb2577]

thanks. this helps a lot with wondering when to do a wide u move or a D move to align cross.

[@KiWi220]

brooo this concept is awesome

[@heystopthatnow]

Bro this is so helpful, thank you😭

[@abelvannieuwenhove2620]

Thanks!!!

[@SokAGD]

Whats the alg you are using to flip the edge for the examples?

[@JavaCuber]

U' S R' F' R S' R' F R U' M' U2 M or in comm notation, [U': S, R' F' R][U2,M']

[@JavaCuber]

be quiet

[@zzpz]

Eocross+1 tutorial when? Jkjkjk, but this is actually a great approach to it! I actually do the exact same thing when I do cfop so when I saw the title I instantly knew what you were talking about,and during inspection I see how my cross solution affects the edge orientation for every f2l edge which allows me to know which pairs to solve first (or which ones don't require rotations.) Like if I see that one of my edges will be bad I know to save it for last.

[@johnlorenzedavid1164]

Very nice tuturial thankyou hope you will be sucessful soon

[@UNKNOWN95669]

Thank you so much it help me a lot I use it most of my solves and I got good time 😊

[@BiffHorrific]

I looked into something like this a while back but doing eo on all edge pieces when doing the cross. Not the final layer pieces, just cross plus f2l-eo

[@AaravGaddam]

thanks so much I have been trying to learn this for ages

[@sakuulcubing9583]

Tbh this was the thing I did when learning cross +1

[@Anthony_Jiang]

Great video! I started using this a while ago and it’s very fun lmao

[@curiousNic]

Interesting, I'll give this a try.

[@Playtobepro]

Your videos keep getting better every day

[@lvcuber]

This is some helpful stuff. I hope to implement this in my solving.

[@seyproductions]

I will try it out.

[@kiwikek9380]

I think Jperm also taught it this way

[@JavaCuber]

he did not

[@kiwikek9380]

@@JavaCuber Did u watch his video on cross to f2l transition?

[@JavaCuber]

maybe a long time ago but i forgot. he didn't mention EO at all in his cross+1 tutorial though

[@gurnies]

i needed this

[@SlothCubr]

Would you recommend the Ys3m Ball Core, or Ys3m ball core UV coating?

[@JavaCuber]

just made a video about that!

[@hezh2097]

hey java, what do you think should be the appropriate amount of moves into making an x cross? like sometimes to make an xcross I just end up using alot of moves that maybe its better to just track the pieces in the cross solution then solve them?

[@JavaCuber]

That's a hard question. For me, I only do xcrosses when they're fairly obvious (solved edge, solved corner, free pair, etc.) and I don't try too hard to force them, so they're usually not too many moves - it's hard to quantify, but maybe less than 9? However, Ruihang (or Yiheng I don't remember) and Tymon do xcrosses that aren't as obvious which take more moves, and it seems to work for them.

[@bigoofersrock]

Simple way to recognize: if edge’s front color does not match one of the side colors,it is bad. If not, it is good.

[@LKcuber333]

What do you mean

[@concavecuber3053]

what if i dont use cfop?

[@JavaCuber]

plan EOblocks idk

[@josiejorubric4958]

I averaged 22 before watching this video and couldn't see anymore than 2 cross edges. Because of this video I now average 5.6 and can 1 look F2L, Thank You Java Cuber!!!!

I use Megaminx on square 5 and I endorse this question. 17
