I’ve been solving square 1 for 9 days now and I average high 30’s to low 40’s and my best time is a 22 second solve. My goal is to be sub 15 which is what I average on 3x3 because I think it would be cool to be sub 15 on 2 puzzles. The step that’s holding me back the most right now is EP because my recognition is really bad. I also sometimes get really bad CS cases and it takes me up to 10 seconds, but I usually average 5-7 seconds on that step. I started off learning intermediate CS because when I started researching square 1 I watched that video and thought it didn’t look that hard, which it wasn’t. My CO and EO aren’t that bad but I only know 2 EO algs, one of which being M2. For CP I know all of the algs for it but my recognition is pretty slow. And for EP it takes me like 15-20 seconds so I’m going to learn some algs for that so I have more options than Adj/Adj.

[@adithya_1100]

Much awaited Thank you so much. 🥳

[@CubeMasterYT]

No problem!

[@ninja_2313]

Sub 6 cuber did acting like sub 30😂😂😂lol

[@orenfox4828]

I do think, as a person in that position, learning cs can easily cut 5-10 seconds off any time, and you kind of need it to get good

[@ROEVOSS]

2:06 i think you meant second

[@joshua6.6.9]

lol

[@lucasvalencia3144]

thank you so much this is the video i was waiting for!

[@CubeMasterYT]

No problem!

[@dillingerdashiell]

The only problem with square-1 is that it breaks. I live in Brazil so the shipping took 2 whole months. I was averaging 30-33 seconds when my Cosmic MGC broke and know I am averaging about 52-53 seconds because I have forgotten a lot of my EP and how to do scallop-kite cube shape.

[@DomBrungardtCubing]

Im pretty excited abt getting into squan. Nice tips 👍

[@abokix]

underrated

[@gryphey]

Step 1: tempted to buy a square 1 Step 2: question Step 3: buys another 3x3 Step 4: watches people solve square 1 Step 5: repeat

[@burntoast7628]

I really need to know how you scramble so fast 😭

[@camerontheninja9592]

Hmm, because of how the pieces are on a square-1 and the inherently bad reverse corner cutting, I can never make the layers stop in the right spot when going fast so I'm constantly making wrong turns, how do you do that?

[@ClockBestEvent]

2:06 he meant second

[@ryanchiang1202]

Idk if this is fine, but for cp, I always turn it into adj adj/Jo cause i never learned the whole thing

[@Gil_Zussman]

Man, I missed your videos!!

[@CubeMasterYT]

Glad to be posting more often! More coming soon :)

[@RedZFlame]

I'm gonna follow this video and try and get better at square 1 in hopes so that when I go to my first comp I'll make the cutoff lmao

[@RedZFlame]

it's been 5 days and i literally have went from averaging 1:30 to averaging sub 1 minute

[@xycrypt]

@@RedZFlame what about now?...

[@RedZFlame]

@@xycrypt well going to the comp ended up not working out and i stopped practicing sq-1 so i'm not really sure

[@lul-mi9dr]

in the first example solve i started on the top instead of flipping it and got a 1 slice OBL

[@justlazykid]

How does your cube actually move like that mine keeps locking up

[@jayeluri12]

Are you gonna make a part 2 to get even faster?

[@gsam2021]

2:06 Don't you mean the SECOND alg??

[@Kanton-4853]

what cube was used in this vid

[@koendos3]

Im hangin’ around 22 and 23 secs, what do i need to do

[@orenfox4828]

Learn full cs if you haven't already

[@joshua6.6.9]

Learn full ep if you haven't already

[@CubeMasterYT]

Both great pieces of advice! I do have a sub 20 video if you haven't checked that out yet :)

[@Bigcuber214]

Thoughts on tingmans sq1 tutorial

[@none0113]

What I find fascinating about people speedsolving square-1s is that the square-1 goes from a very jumbled state into a clean state in such a short time, it's almost as if they are reading a 100-page book at the speed of light😂

[@miniboi7315]

If I learned from ting man. Is that tutorial ok?

[@Dravignor]

How much would you recommend learning/changing to Lin from LV at this level?

[@CubeMasterYT]

I'm biased of course but I would recommend not switching since LV has the most resources and has more potential (kinda like CFOP compared to Roux). However, if you really want to, switching as early as possible is probably better to get a head start, and Lin does have a lot of potential to be fast as well.

[@Dravignor]

@@CubeMasterYT Thx for the tip!

[@danielstandring7529]

Tip: You can also try to get 4 together on each side (scallop scallop)

[@MegaMonkeVr]

Which cube is that?

[@davidcejka253]

hi, i have 2 questions: 1: can i lube a sq1 like i would lube a 3x3(without dissasembling)? LIke opening a gap between corner and edge and putting a drop of lube in there? 2: can i lube a square 1 with a water based lube(Like Dnm 37) or would that make the cubes springs rust or anything like that? Thanks

[@Iamrealme]

For the first question you kinda can and for the second one as long as you’re not lubing the core

[@SGD2718]

for the second question, have fun controlling that

[@martinzhang.]

my square 1 keeps locking up even though it is very tight...

[@bruce4139]

So I know this is an old video but I've got to say this I'm trying to learn sq-1 (to become faster I already know how to solve it) and its extremly hard to follow for the following reasons 1. You do the algs fast without showing notation so I'm slowing the video down to 0.75x and still cant follow along with the moves your doing 2. You're turn th cube up and down a lot so it's hard to follow making sure I have the same cases you do and you also do a lot of cuts that arent mentioned or anything

[@squaredude2]

I finally found the j perm of square 1 !!

[@ilove6x673]

Cube master i am almost solving my first square 1.I got a T perm and a Y perm at last step do you know an algorithm that solves T perm on square 1?

[@CubeMasterYT]

Would recommend looking back on my beginner tutorial, solving the corners first and then the edges last (or CP and EP) kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5zQnYB7fb6ssKs Good thing is you don't have parity!

its him solving slower like j perm in his sub 30 3x3 videos to showcase, that you dont need 1300000 tps/sps

Is full cp parity worth it then?
