Interview with Feliks Zemdegs (World Fastest Cuber)

[@nischay4719]

All the house messed up but still keeps the cubes properly in a shelf.

[@ryanminor232]

That's probably all he cares about

[@smoshyv2553]

Dunno if you're being serious or not, but it looks fucked up due to the camera lens

[@LEC1427]

Video would have been longer... but his SD card just ran out.

[@ManiacKnight]

Kuruzu 14 I hear this joke everywhere.. can someone explain me???

[@LEC1427]

A kid said it like seven times when Feliks got the 4.73.

[@ManiacKnight]

oh lol

[@BltchErica]

lmao

[@adityarajsrivastava6580]

@@ManiacKnight When Feliks got 4.73 wr single one kid in the background shouted 'Just as my Sd card runs out' because he couldn't record feliks solve and unknowingly became a meme.

[@GurtGobain]

The most annoying part of Feliks interviews are when they ask how he practices and he's just like "nah mate its just a hobby, I just do less than an hour of solves per day and go to competitions, it's not a big part of my life".

[@EPICGUYDUDE]

The truth is the truth

[@KiiroSagi]

Think of how many cubes he'd do in an hour. That's enough practice to me.

[@user-yx4kr6bt5h]

Kiiro Sagi hahahahaha that's right :)

[@larslarsen9707]

well obviously in the first 2-3 years he was obsessed with the cube and practiced really, really hard to get that far. But now he doesn't need to practice that much, it's not going to matter as much anymore..

man it really annoys me when people say things about how lucas etter is better than feliks, you guys need to have respect for both of them. i mean seriously they have both been working equally as hard to achieve great success. And records are always meant to be broken and people get lucky sometimes, if lucas didnt get a pll skip then it would be a whole new topic wouldnt it? so guys, please stop arguing over who is better because it really isnt worth it.

[@GovindNadathur12]

Feliks is the best.

[@77kungfupanda]

I really want the 3x3 WR's to be broken by someone who uses ZZ. There are very few people who actually use ZZ, and i think that if you know the right type of usage of the ZZ method, it would easily be possible. If you have heard of a subset of ZZ called "ZZ-Blah", It reduces your OLL cases to only Pi and H cases. From there, you could learn the ZBLL's for those cases, with only around 80 instead of 490+ ZBLL cases. I think that if somebody actually tried that out, they could quite easily break the record. But that's just my opinion. I may be missing something, but as far as I know that is what you can do with it.

[@AtharvGoel]

What's ZZ? Lol i didnt' cube for almost 10 monthz

[@bigfoottouchedmecubing6002]

Maybe for OH. I know ZZ is getting more fast users but I can't see a ZZ user beating the 3x3 single or average any time soon.

[@77kungfupanda]

Michael Edmonds You would be surprised at what ZZ solvers could be capable of if they tried hard enough.

[@77kungfupanda]

AG Cuber In short, ZZ is essentially CFOP, but you do a pre-f2l step that orients the last layer edges for OLL so you only have 7 Cases. There are so many more things you can do with ZZ than Fridrich.

[@arecus54]

I believe its only a matter of time

[@ogminor]

Felix over here can solve a cube in like 5 seconds and but he'll never beat my record of 59 seconds!! 😎😂😂

Hi guys. I've been cubing for a couple months now and have obtained a pb of 40 seconds and an average of ~1 minute. I use a Shengshou V3 Aurora (which might change soon) and use the beginners method for solving, except I use f2l in my solves instead. I would like to know what I could improve upon, how I might go about learning OLL/PLL, and any other tips you may have. Thanks for reading, or replying.

[@CubixRube]

wait where did feliks learn his cfop and f2l hes taking too fast

***** thanks

+Prabhav Vellala When you zero you solve all of the edges then you solve the remaining corners, you can clearly see in Feliks solves he Solves cross, inserts f2l pairs, oll, the pll Colorful pockets doesn't know anything about that.

[@alexp6220]

great content! I wonder what questions he would have asked you.

He can solve a 3x3 one handed faster than i can solve it with both hands >.

He can solve it faster than I can solve a side

[@bradystump2237]

Hey, on your next solve video, can u answer, "what method do u use when speed solving, could u make a video on how to use your method?" Coming from a newb who just started solving (i learned from u) and looking to get faster, THANKS

[@liamprince1409]

+Sabit Aurko feliks' 4.21 doesn't count as a world record because it was done at home not a competition

[@TroutOfOrder]

Wait dude I had no idea that the world's best speed cuber had used KZbin tutorials to speed solve. Every time someone asks me how I learned or how I do it, they always go like "oh, so you never really learned how to solve it." Now I can tell them that even the best started from KZbin.

[@TroutOfOrder]

***** well yeah but everyone thinks that if you learned from KZbin, it doesn't really count, which I obviously disagree with.

[@SmileyMPV]

TroutOfOrder So you think it requires skill or intelligence to be able to follow a tutorial and learn easy short sequences of moves? Sure, it is hard to get below 20 seconds average. But learning to solve it from a video on KZbin is really easy.

[@Liramek]

SmileyMPV How do you think other people figured it out? You think everybody before the Internet actually sat down and came up with the algorithms all by themselves? No. There were books and all sorts of other things. Then one person would show their friends and his friends would their friends.. So it doesn't matter where you learn it from. If you retained the information then you learned how to solve it.

[@JSPRshots]

s record even if he got the 5.33 it would of been beaten anyways so

[@MegaStickittotheman]

Tristan Hollis you...

[@JSPRshots]

MegaProGaming what no Collin Burns 5.25

[@MegaStickittotheman]

ik its not technically world record, but his best is 4.21 i think

[@JSPRshots]

MegaProGaming no its not his best was going to 5.33 but its not its 5.66 and then that was beaten by mats valk with a 5.55 the that was beaten by collin burns with 5.'25 if felixs had a pb of 4.21 that would be the worl record which it is not

[@karaokevideos9047]

Feliks zemdegs has solved Rubik's cube in 5.39 seconds also

[@alexdraxer638]

I use the fridrich method(forgive me if I spelled that wrong) and have a best time of 40 seconds, is f2l a faster way to solve, or is it simply a more advanced method to help you learn more?

[@nightcritter5631]

F2L is faster by far. It is building the corners on white and the second layer at the same time. If you learn it fist your times will be significantly slower but after a bunch of practice it gets lots faster and that alone can easily get your record down to 25-30

[@HyperFuze]

My time before F2L was an awful 55 and on up. With F2L I was able to get down to lower fourties then days later in the thirties. Currently, my best is 26.42 and that was within a month or two of learning it. I still need to learn some oll and pll but yeah definitely learn F2L
