Don't Make These Cubing Mistakes: 10 Things I Wish I Knew

[@MemerMaestro]

When drilling Algs, look at the cube at the same time instead of just having the muscle memory, that way you can be more confident in recognising where you are at in the alg if you mess up or slow down. It also helps to learn it faster

[@JPerm]

Yes! I've definitely practiced algs without looking, and then realized I can't do them when looking at the cube haha

My biggest beginner mistake was not seeing if there is some other way to solve second layer other than beginners method... because F2L was actually easier for me to adapt to, I was making too many mistakes on second layer, but with F2L, it took a bit of getting used to but so much more intuitive for the way I view the cube in my mind...

Bro do u have any tips for me, I try to do f2l but I cant do it too fast and realized that I can do the 2nd layer faster with beginners method than F2L so what do u suggest??

@@awesome_thingsX keep on practicing man. See how the pieces move so you'll get a better idea of what you're doing. Then check out JPerm's vid about advanced f2l. He's provided algs for all the f2l cases.

@@awesome_thingsX i wouldn't say i do f2l faster necessarily, i am just really bad at beginners method, but main tips are in Jperms f2l videos so I would suggest just watching it... Recognizing F2L cases is the hardest part which slows me down the most, so I am learning to do that right now...

I'm in the exact same situation as you, this video ended up being particularly useful for intermediate/semi-advanced solvers at around 15-20s and probably even lower. I realised I am regripping each pair, and that I could probably do my cross faster, I might still be doing double-recognition during F2L. Averaging 16-17s I knew some stuff as well, like I know 2-sided PLL recognition for example, still very helpful.

[@grapz2245]

I used to own a Rubik's cube years ago. It was a hand-me-down, used and falling apart. It never turned well, and would come apart if it was turned with *just* a bit too much force. A young me, prone to angry outbursts, got frustrated at my inability to solve it, not knowing that someone had reassembled it due to it's flimsy construction. It likely was unsolvable, but I didn't know that and the cube eventually got lost, unsolved and forgotten about. A couple weeks ago you popped up in my recommendations, and I spent my entire work break watching you solve the 21x21 cube. Yesterday I placed an order for a QiYi Valk 3 Elite and a YJ MGC 4x4. A younger me gave up on being able to do these things. You've inspired me to pick up and try again. Thank you.

[@chibinecco1981]

I have to say the last tip helped me the most. I am The Cuber guy and with this category in mind I don't get frustrated when I do a terrible solve or don't learn full OLL and just keep having fun.

The biggest Problem that I have is the weird Type of Progress. Im currently averaging 17 Seconds. Recently I was at 18-19 secs, Then I learned full OLL and some advanced f2l algs and I got slower, Made Many mistakes and even after ~2000 solves I still don't have everything I learned in my ultraproductive 2 Weeks completely in My muscle memory, and I still Need to practice so much. I Just don't have the Motivation to learn Something, If I know that IT will only pay Off after Weeks of practicing, and will actually slow me down before that.

[@lisaneedham4302]

I feel your pain. That kinda happened to me. I was trying to learn Ortega method (2x2) and I went from average 12 seconds to average 30. After about 3 weeks I've evened out, I might even be getting faster. Just saying, it IS worth it. If you feel like giving up, just take a break, or take it slowly. But carry on! It's worth the pain.

[@pedropapp1232]

i started cubing around 1 year ago and have practiced alternating between completely obsessed a few weeks, then completing forgetting its existence and i this method makes me enjoy it a lot. every time i go back to it i see a lot o progress, mostly because i start a bit rusty. most of my free time when im watching movies or. yt videos, i use the cube as a fidget toy, and this is probably the main reason i keep it around and love it so much. hope you all also have a relation with your cube as good as mine. my average is around 26 s

[@narnianninja4964]

I agree about learning CN at first but the good thing is is that it's not TOO hard to learn. I was white cross only in December but on New Year's Eve started practicing yellow cross and mastered that in about a week. Then a few weeks later started learning green cross and only doing that for a few days. Then learned blue cross soon after. Did the same with orange and then red. Then started doing them all and was totally color neutral after. One of the best things I've learned, I get a good cross most solves now

Wow, Jperm will be the first cubing channel to reach 1 million subscribers; great content, and great video!

[@Fiberoeatingfiber]

Tip for CFOP users: If you accidentally don't put the pair in the back and semi mess up. You can just do a d move. Not the regular D we're used to but a wide D. It automatically puts the pair in the back. But it isn't really useful if you've already solved 2 or more pairs already. But the good thing about it is that it doesn't really disturb anything. Not even your cross

[@asr2009]

yes, sometimes i do wide d move instead of rotating the cube. There are some advanced f2l ways that even utilize wide u and wide f moves to avoid rotations.

[@Am_Cookie2436]

What's "wide" in cubing terms if I may ask? Edit: Nvm I remembered. It's double layer moves
