Solve the Axis Cube (Using Beginner 3x3 Method)

[@TheAidOfAids]

Tried about 4 other tutorials before I found yours and all the others were so hard, thanks for helping me out. You're the best

[@daniellee560]

So glad to hear it!

[@Alexa-f7w7b]

I tried every tutorial and finally got it with this one. I watched the video probably 20 times but once i got it, it makes complete sense. It was confusing how you were holding the cube at some points but if i just compared it to a 3x3 and always kept the top layer up, it did the trick. Thanks so much. I feel on top of the world!!

The yellow cross can be difficult; sometimes you just need to do the edge swap algorithm a couple of times until you see one of the situations that I show in the video. After you get the hang of what to look for, it gets easier.

Yeah. The algorithms for 3x3 don’t seem to work right. Not sure why.

[@valiantwarrior4517]

Thank you sir. This is one of the most frustrating cubes I’ve solved. I’ve always used F R U R’ U’ F’ to get the last layer cross on a regular 3x3. Then R U R’ U R U2 R’ (sometimes ending with another U) to position the cross pieces correctly. Not sure if I learned differently or changed something myself along the way. Regardless, it doesn’t seem to work well on the Axis.

[@daniellee560]

This cube can be frustrating for sure. This is just the method I use; I'm sure there are other methods out there, but you're right, the last layer takes a little trial and error sometimes, but it always works for me.

Guys, if you get your center twisted on the last layer, do this algorithm, R, U, R', U. Do that 5 times and it should fix it.

At the last part where you only need to orient the pieces you were lucky to have two already in place but what if you have 4 pieces all not in the right place? I did the first two then after wards idk how to continue since you didnt mentioned that in the video

[@daniellee560]

You can use the same method to do 1, 2, 3, or all 4 corners. Just orient a corner, moves the next one into place and orient it, then the next, then the next. It will all work out in the end as long as you do the moves correctly.

SOS i can not understand the rotation where it starts and where to stop... So confused and disappointed!! From 2x2 to 5x5 i have no problem but this is already 2 months unsolved... 😢

[@daniellee560]

I know this cube can be really confusing; remember, the centers are the small, square pieces that have two colors. Everything rotates around those. The single color triangle pieces and the tri-colored pyramid pieces are the corners. Everything else is an edge. Pick a center, and try to orient yourself to the edges and corners surrounding it. A corner never rotates while touching a center, so a rotation would be turning a side 90 degrees until the next edge lines up with the center you are looking at. Once you get used to this, it's like seeing the code in the Matrix; even with the cube mixed up, you'll be able to tell how to rotate the edges around a center. If all else fails, order a second cube and really get used to it before mixing it up; that may help you solve the first cube more easily.

Sometimes you just have to try one or the other, depending on your scramble. Also, as I mentioned, sometimes you need to do an algorithm more than once in order to see the result you want.

I just got an offbrand one with no colors for christmas, and got stuck trying to line up the cross with the centers of the second layer. How am I meant to do this???

[@daniellee560]

I've never solved one of those. Maybe since there are no colors, you only need to do the algorithm randomly until you get the cross pieces lined up smoothly. Then, I would think you'd do each corner piece until they line up smoothly with the rest. Let me know if that works out or not.

[@park_sapp]

Bro you gotta work on your cube knowledge lol they are algorithms for a reason, they work every time. The third layer might take a couple of times using the algorithms to get it right but saying that the algorithms don't work makes you look dumb. You don't need to mess the cube back up, you just need to do it right. The only part his setup that was lucky was the middle pieces not being rotated. You can solve the cube without having the middle rotated the right way, just like a normal cube but its flat so you don't realize they rotate on the same face. Once you get to the end and all that is left is to rotate the middle pieces, use (R U R' U) 5 times and it will rotate it 180 degrees.

That algorithm at 18:17 is used to swap the edges to the correct positions, so the edges flush with the center piece. He got lucky cos 1 or 2 of the edges has been flipped correctly already, that's why we have the case shown at 18:35. If none of the edges have been flipped correctly, you perform the algorithm at 18:17 til the rest of your life and nothing will happen. You Parker a.k.a the dumb brain better shut your mouth. You work your mouth faster than your brain that's why you make a fool out of you. And well yeah, guess you have knowledge of algorithms from a brain of a 5 year-old. 😂🤣 And for your stupid brain, "the lucky middle piece" does not exist hahahahaha. Because all the algorithms used to solve the last layer of the Axis work to rotate the edges or swap the edges but they keep the middle piece THE SAME PLACE.
