F2L - All 42 Cases [Intuitive Explanation]

[@CubeHead]

Overview of all algs 👉 www.cube.academy/intuitive-f2l-algs 📌 TIMESTAMPS AND QUESTIONS 00:00 Easy Inserts (4) 1:23 Disconnected Pairs (10) 5:43 Corner in Slot (6) 8:04 Edge in Slot (6) 10:41 Connected Pairs (10) 15:44 Both Pieces in Slot (6) 🚨 Yes I know I messed up some of the visuals (sorry for that) ⁉Should I copy your finger tricks? If you can, yes! That’s why I have the execution for each case at x0.25 speed. However some of the finger tricks might be a bit difficult in the beginning. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYjIZYaEfrKnqMk ⁉In what order should I learn the cases? You could go through the entire video first to get an idea of what cases exist (and try them on your cube!) But would advise learning one set at a time, in the order of the video. ⁉Are these the best solutions for all cases? Yes and no. All these solutions are great, however there might be algorithms online that make more sense in certain situations. The focus of this video is learning easy to understand solutions, not to memorize algorithms. ⁉For cases with two solutions, which one do I use? You decide! Using the one you prefer works, or you can even alternate between two solutions in your solves. Later in your cubing journey, we’ll see when it makes sense to use different solutions for a case. ⁉ Why do you always rotate to the left when solving pairs? For cases where you need to rotate, I chose to rotate to the left so we could solve the pairs using L/U solutions in a way we’ve already seen. If you’d rotate to the right (and solve the pair into the back), you could solve the pair using R/U solutions, but then you’d need to learn new solutions.

Cube head you probably won’t see this but you’re the best tutor for cubing. I learned beginners method from j perm. I could sorta do f2l from him, but 2 look oll and pll made 0 sense. Later with your vids, I understand perfectly! I even learned full pll from you. Hope I can learn this and full oll too. Just wanted to thank my favorite cubing content creator!😊

[@HimeshDx]

What's the wrong with Jperm's 2 look OLL and PLL?

[@edwincollison9317]

Bruh I just went to check his two look OLL and PLL video, I don't see what's wrong with it. But anyway, yeah, this guy is a great explainer. For almost every video, I use both JPerm and CubeHead's videos eg. Planning your First pair and so on

[@Cezille07]

I come back to this video every few months, and I absorb a little bit more of it every time. Coming back with a little more experience and better recognition helps a lot. Still a long way to go, but this video is such a great resource. Thanks!

Wow! I've searching for someone to explain the case that no one talks about. Brother you are a life saver. It's now my fastest solve case. 😂😂 It's never a dull moment watching your contents, keep it up.

[@eternity_12]

bro this is so helpful, all the other tutorials don't show every single case and the best version on how to solve , I'm just starting to learn CFOP and this very helpful

[@Zenmthzxqt]

Cube head is doing the best tutorials I have been cubing for years and this is just way more better than any other video especially he’s explaining and he’s not even English aswell very well done

[@CubeHead]

appreciate it bro!

[@edwincollison9317]

Yep, we love you CubeHead❤❤❤

[@drewk5972]

I love your videos and watch the entire thing with no idea what you are really doing but your solves and voice is so soothing. I have very basic knowledge of cubing, nearing a consistent 1min solve but my brain is too small to start doing CFOP and other algorithms lol! Cheers

[@CubeHead]

hahah thanks appreciate it! I bet if you go over the beginner CFOP playlist a couple of times with your cube you'll get it down in no time :)

[@ChewbaccaCuber]

Okay this is actually really helpful!!🔥🔥🔥

[@mdahnafalfee196]

Thanks man! You finally gave me relief by making a full tutorial on all F2L cases. I was so confused in this case --> 16:42 Thanks :)

[@agrimsinha3335]

CubeHead cooked once again as always. Nice video Milan !!

[@KevinCruijssenQuuador]

TL;DR: 2:10 alternative: Dw R' U' R U2 R' U R. Thanks a lot for the amazing tutorial. I've stopped collecting twisty puzzles back in 2019, and just came back and ordered my first speed cube (still waiting for it to arrive), and plan to finally learn CFOP and (try to) become sub-20. (I was sub-40 back in 2019 exclusively using the inefficient beginner's method for years.) So I'm by no means an expect of CFOP or F2L, and am actually learning a lot from your video. But, while updating my local files for CFOP cases/algorithms, I noticed at 2:10 you mentioned "you'd either have to rotate and use the mirrored L/U moves, or use F-moves", but when you start with a wide D move here, you can actually solve it with R/U moves: Dw R' U' R U2 R' U R.

[@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable]

I don’t know why I’m watching this when I already know these cases 😂 maybe because I like how your cube sounds when you solve it quickly.

[@someonetrustme161]

even if i have already quit cubing since jan 2024, i still click on these since ur such a fun guy to watch :D edited for grammer

[@SlimSim56]

I thought this was the video I was waiting for. But then I realized there’s only a couple of cases you showed that I do differently. I do a lot more sledge inserts though. Also I thought it was bad to rotate while doing an f2l pair. Like in the middle of the alg I mean. Overall I think it’s a really nice video and will really help a lot of people. Thanks Cubehead!

[@CubeHead]

Rotating isn’t always bad, sometimes it makes going to your next pairs easier :)

[@VijaiShyam]

9:42 : you could actually do U2 R U' R' F R' F' R. Kinda a long solution but i found it more intuitive and easier to execute.

its actually better lol, however the other one is more intuitive for most beginners

[@kori228]

oh wow 5 min in and already realized how horrible my alg was. that "hide in the back" thing is way more efficient than what I was doing: 1) I was aligning the edge to the color, inserting it inverted, aligning the block, pulling the block back out, U2, then sledging it in 2) I was aligning the edge to the non-matching color of that pair, inserting it so it aligns to the faces, align the corner so the block is inverted, pull it back to the back, U2 to the front, reinsert the edge so it breaks the corner, U/U' return the corner so the white , pull the edge out to the back [forms the block with the corner], then U2 insert 2b) just realized a simplification of 2) as I was typing this: after aligning the corner so the block is inverted, just (L' U L U')x4 U' insert (to left side) | (R U' R' U)x4 U insert (to right side) 3) realized another simplification: after aligning corner so the block is inverted, regrip and sexy move 3 times (without needing the final U/U') 2c) just realized another simplification combining 2a and 2b: pull out to back, U2, (L' U L U')x2 U insert (to left side) | (R U' R' U)x2 U' insert (to right side)
