Kite-Square should be done with an alg cuz its really easy to learn. I avg. like 2 seconds for kite-square.

[@matusb8059]

Why you don't show all combinations with solved skelett ?

[@LupoMW]

great tutorial. i avg about 35-40secs. with beginner. hopefully advanced cubeshape gets me sub 25, because it takes me forever to bring the puzzle back into cube shape... how long does it take to master advanced cube shape?

is it just me or do i get more than the cases on this video im so stuck😂

yea. he doesnt show all of em, just the most common ones. you can construct to a shape you know, or just learn all cubeshapes.

Thanks this is very useful 👍☺️

[@LazyEinstein]

Didn't even type out the algorithms in the description?! What is this the dark ages? [EDIT: I was just being obnoxiously playful back then. A great list already existed back then. Here is this link hem.bredband.net/_zlv_/rubiks/sq1/sq1-shape.html]

[@xdmemes5821]

Lazy Einstein it’s intuitive it’s not algorithmic that’s the wrong way to learn it

[@LazyEinstein]

@@xdmemes5821 It was more of a joke, tbh. I would not expect Brandon to do all that extra work above and beyond the great videos he makes. There was a well-organized list of the CS(Cube shape) subset already. You can find the updated version here: hem.bredband.net/_zlv_/rubiks/sq1/sq1-shape.html As for how one should learn CS. That depends on one's goals. If one knows that they want to become to be a world-class Square-1 speed solver, learning CS algorithmically would be great. It allows one to be able to start solving CS cases optimally right for the start. The amount of time it would take one to become proficient in learning CS intuitively would also be roughly the amount of time it would take to learn a healthy amount of CS, if not fully, via algorithms. The difference would be that the algorithmic learners would be better off in the upper-classes of speedsolving because they are already solving CS optimally. At this point, the algorithmic-learner would only have to focus on things such as execution speed/finger tricks optimization/etc. The intuitive-learner would have so much more work to do later on. I'd argue that learning CS intuitively would be way less beneficial than when compared to learning F2L intuitively first. This really only matters to those who want to main Square-1. If one just likes to speed solve all WCA events or wants to get better at Square-1 than they already are, with no major long-term goals in mind, then I agree that learning CS intuitively is the better way to go.

[@hamzaabbaszaidi8788]

+Brandon Lin Please help me I was just wondering like for example take the Shield-Kite Shape. So what do I do if I have shield on bottom and kite on top? Should I just flip the square-1 over and continue? Cuz if I do that then I will have yellow on top instead of white, and also the middle layer will be weird because in my regular orientation I have the small middle layer piece to the left but now I will have it on the right.

[@parkers3700]

I'm not sure what is most efficient, but I think that if you do a /(6,6)/ it should switch them around

[@SquirtleSurgeon]

what about Fist Kite because I got that

SquirtleSurgeon experiment till you get opposite fists

For someone who is looking to be sub-30, how fast should my cube shape be?

[@jncubing6659]

BABCGA maybe around 5-7seconds

[@dylancossin]

Bumo

[@kayak8700]

idk but mine varies from 5 seconds to a 30 and i average about 38

[@TheodoreBrown314]

I average around 30, and my cubeshape is between 5 and 10 seconds

[@xiaohuahu]

I average about 20 seconds and cubeshape takes me from 1-2 for the easy cases (Kite-Kite, Kite-Barrel, Kite-Square, Scallop-Kite etc.), about 3-4 for most other cases, and 5 for the bad cases (Kite-Fist, Etc.)

Why is your website yoga in the description?!?!

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

Double Barrel, Similar Fists is just Square-0 & 3x3x2. so it’s like building your first 2 faces on 2x2x3, or opposite centers on 4x4x4.

I've done the scallop kite method for a week but still some scrambles are so hard to do. Any tips?

[@DialektLp]

Azza 14 like everytime you change methods, it needs some time basically, you need to stop to look after how you can combine edges and start looking about raw shapes and what you can do with them do you need a tutorial?

As there's more than two variations of english, I wouldn't be able to tell which one is from which variation.

[@ryanl9973]

I have a Calvins square 1 And it over shoots like crazy. So do u know how to set it up correctly

[@BrandonLin1]

ryan lau (For some reason I can't reply to your previous comment) These aren't all the shape combos, there are a lot more. As for the hardware issue, my Square-1 actually also overshoots. Play with the tensions a bit, maybe lube the sides to make them a bit more gummy and clean it out as necessary. Really, just experiment with different things.

[@ryanl9973]

Thanks soooooo much it worked because I spent 12 dollars and before I used a modded cube twist (florian modded, no springs, really tight, and the "guards" that keep all the peices on one sided rounded off at the ends) and I really wanted to get a new square 1 main

Does anyone have a solution to fist-kite or kite-fist? I'm really confused on how to go about them.

[@user-gi3ro9rm9k]

if you hole the two adjacent edge pairs on the slice, so that you slice through them, then you get fist square. just figured it out :D

[@petrosk4158]

Thank You!

well, really, just try to pair the edges together if you get a case you dont know

Try to make a scallop-kite probably...

[@async7616]

.......Thats not effecient. Why don't I use the beginner's method than?

[@kymlikespotatoes]

Use scallop kite because more cases lead up to scallop kite than 8 edges. Its actually much more efficient.

[@async7616]

Yeah but how.....

[@user-gi3ro9rm9k]

what if you get a scallop-square hybrid? (a square with 2 extra edges in the place of a corner)

[@JD-ee4df]

With what on the bottom?

[@user-gi3ro9rm9k]

kite

[@JD-ee4df]

That's not possible

[@user-gi3ro9rm9k]

really? then i think i remember getting a square

[@JD-ee4df]

Also impossible. You can only have two edges on the bottom, so a line, L or a two pair of edges.
