Cube Solve Hero is your page for Unboxings, Tutorials, Reviews, and Cube Comedy! My cube journey has gone one for a while now and though I love solving lots of puzzles, I’m working on my speed. What you’ll see in this channel is lots of different cubes as well as insights into my journey as I become a sub 10 speedcuber. Hopefully you’ll enjoy this video and will watch some more great videos of mine.

Steps and Algorithms:
Step 1: Solve the “White Star” - This step is 100% Intuitive
Step 2: Solve the White Corner Pieces: [ R , U , R’ , U’ ] until it’s in place
Step 3: Align the second layer edges
Algorithm Insert Edge to the Right: U, R, U’, R’, U’, L’, U, L
Algorithm Insert Edge to the Left: U’, L’, U, L, U, R, U’, R’
Step 4: Insert the second layer corners: [ R , U , R’ , U’ ] until it’s in place
Step 5: Solving the “Rabbit Ears” - Edge, Corner Edge between the 2nd and 3rd layer
Algorithm Insert Edge to the Right: U, R, U’, R’, U’, L’, U, L
Algorithm Insert Edge to the Left: U’, L’, U, L, U, R, U’, R’
Insert the third layer corners: [ R , U , R’ , U’ ] until it’s in place
Step 6: Solving the last layer: Orient all the edges (4 different cases)
1. One edge of the last layer star: (The edge facing the bottom right): F, R, U, R’, U’, F’
2. Three edges of the last layer star: (The 3 edges all in the upper left): F, R, U, R’, U’, R, U, R’, U’, F’
3. Three edges in an arrow shape of the last layer star: (arrow is pointing to the right): F, R, U, R’, U’, F’
4. All five edges of the last layer star: No Algorithm needed.
Step 7: Solving the last layer: Permuting all the edges (3 different cases)
1. Two Edges: (Solved edge in the front and to the upper right): R, U2, R’, U, R, U2, R’
2. Two Edges: (Solved edge in the front and to the lower left): R, U, R’, U, R, U2’, R’
3. One Edge is Permuted: (Permuted edge in the front): R, U2, R’, U, R, U2, R’ ((than solve the 2-edge case))
Step 8: Solving the last layer: Permuting all the Corners (3 different cases)
1: Two corners are in the correct spot: (Holding one corner in front and the other to the bottom right): L’, U, R, U’, L, U, R’, U’ (You may need to do this again)
2: : Two corners are in the correct spot: (Holding one corner in front and the other to the upper right): R, L’, U, R, U’, L, U, R’, U’, R’
3: Only one corner in the correct spot… Do one of the above algorithms with the corner facing down. Than solve for either case 1 or 2 (Whichever applies)
Step 9: Solving the last layer: Orienting all the Corners
Flip the megaminx over where the last layer is on the bottom.
Corner by corner perform this algorithm till each corner is Oriented correctly: (Holding the unsolved corner on the bottom): [R, U, R’, U’], D’

This is the best video ever about Megaminx. Finally, someone that knows how to teach without showing off (with really fast moves and understandable only for them without even displaying the algorithms) the ability to solve it. Finally, I understood the various passages, how and why. I feel now more confident that I can solve it. Now it's about practice. thanks a lot, Hero!!!

[@noeldillabough]

This was a great help to me, been decades since I last solved, very easy to understand! One case you forgot last layer corners (Step 8) there is the possibility of zero solved faces, same as with 1 just do the perm and adjust when one of the known patterns come out.

[@ThatDjinn]

Honestly, I had to watch 2 different videos and a written tutorial with images to properly understand some of the moves and setups, especially for the second layer, but your video was by far the most informative.

[@mawnmower]

So in reality, solving a Megaminx is quite similar to solving a 3x3?

[@Somethingig72]

Yeah

[@Homeandsomuchmore]

No way

A 3x3 with 12 sides

[@kishaalles6088]

Tysm!! Finally completed it. Every other video I watched was so confusing but you made it so simple. Thank you x

[@mateigabrielzaharia4842]

The reason they were so confusing is because they explain the steps twice or 3 times, then they go ahead, and another reason could be the fact that they use the F2L method, which you probably don't know and don't understand. These elements make the other tutorials confusing, and you: a beginner can't follow. But this guy is the Giga Chad of the Megaminx tutorials

[@Nick-xt3yp]

8:08 You can also use: If edge is on left: Make it so that your edge is facing you on the front and do R U R’ U move your megaminx right and do L’ U’ L U If edge is on right: Make it so that edge is facing you on the front and do L’ U’ L U move your megaminx right and do R U R’ U Edit: you can also use it on 4th layer

[@kikicho740]

ok what sets you aside is the fact you take your time, you just earned yourself a sub. :)

[@ctlyta2]

Okay, this is the most understandable one of these I've found, but be warned: At 37:17 he's gonna completely switch his R and L meaning by presenting a front LINE as opposed to the front FACE he's been using all along. This is made all the more confusing by him presenting a single "NEW R" move as setting up the algorithm before executing the algorithm. You might see him do that and think "oh yes, that's not the same kind of R we've been doing all along, that's why it's a separate set up." Wrong, he then proceeds with the algorithm using these newly defined R and L faces. Would be clearer to just explain you're doing away with an F surface and then tack the "setup" onto the algorithm.

[@lovi9523]

At first, I thought it was impossible. But you helped me so much! Love Your Videos!!!!

[@naught19]

i was able to get the bottom layer done halfway through your explanation! great video!!!

[@DhruvDineshPatole]

I liked that you always mention the algorithms in your videos. Most cube solvers solve their cubes without any algorithms, but that's too difficult for a learner like me. So thanks for telling the algorithms.

The advantage of this method is in the 'bunny ears'. They prevent you messing up previously solved sections. When I first bought a megaminx I I used JPerm's video and it worked...eventually. The problem was that previously solved sections got messed up. This method is MUCH easier.
