Where I've Been and Why I Suck At 6x6!

[@CubingEncoded]

Nice to see you back!

[@AlfredSpeedcuber]

How's EZCubing?

[@AndrewTyberg]

Immediately after you finished edge pairing, you did parity on the outer layers. When you got to OLL, you did parity again. Doing parity twice could have been avoided. After you finished edge pairing, preserve the parity edge. Do your cross on a color opposite from the parity edge. For example, your parity edge was blue/white, so you would do green or yellow cross. This means that the parity edge will be in the last layer. You could then see if you need to do inner or outer parity, and you would just have to do parity once.

Hey man, you’re still my favorite, no matter how much you struggle with KZbin, you’re still my favorite.

[@afcubing444]

few... I thought you quit KZbin thanks for uploading

[@Taikamuna]

I can't even solve a 2x2

Davide corrected. Thank you

[@xxseancuber22xx65]

Don’t worry Dan! We still love your channel! Keep up the content because views don’t matter, yet; the creator is the one that matters :)

[@ShadowUnifiedGaming]

Welcome back. You didn't owe us (or anyone for that matter) an explanation for a hiatus. :). I'm just glad to see your back.

[@higgledypiggledycubledy8899]

Long time fan here. You inspired me to start my own little channel :-) One thing I recommend for 6x6 is watching Jperm's video "big cube fundamentals and tips", he has a lot of great advice. Don't worry too much about views, a lot of that is just youtube messing with their algorithms. You have a solid and large core audience that will continue to stick with you. If you're looking for ideas, I think a lot of younger cubers would enjoy videos about parts of cubing history that they missed. Why was the Zhanchi a big deal? What was it like when the first ghost cube came out? Who was your competition a few years ago? etc. I'm also really looking forward to your review of the Tengyun. Will you go back to a Dayan main after all these years? Maybe!

[@The_NSeven]

I really like the history idea!

[@timothycastle908]

I love your channel and I support in any way!

[@byronjin7793]

Centers: build inside out so you don't have to slice that much, be color neutral (it's easy), dont do that kick out put back in thing on your first center cuz it's pointless, dont do a slice insert when youre inserting an inner bar when the outer bar isn't there, dont slice back after you do your commutator Edges: abandon current edges if they're bad "like high school girlfriends", do cycling on L4E, also if there's no matced up on L4E, do an M U2 M', when you get parity, do one of the opposite colors of that edge so that you won't get edge and oll you'll just get edge or mslice which is bad but better lookahead 3x3: get gud... also learn coll

[@tentativesuggestion]

Good to see you back. I've been watching your videos for many years but I don't watch all of them. Cubing has many different aspects and that might be a reason why different channels attract different viewers. Keep going, you are loved by many!

[@STCuber1]

Cool almost at 200k subs, congrats!

[@skdeuce3780]

Happy to hear you put your needs before the videos. Sometimes you just gotta focus on you. Everyone needs a break every once and a while. Glad to see you're back, though. Keep up the good work, bud👍🏻

[@jamespletcher8291]

When I solve a 6x6 or 8x8 or 10x10, I always solve the four white edges first, and then the non-yellow edges next. That way any parity is contained on the yellow edges that go on the last layer. That way you would only need to do a red bull once, whereas on this example solve you had to do a red bull twice.

[@thealmostcoolkid6345]

Well, welcome back! The bell notification thing didn't exist last time I watched you so I turned it on

[@chriskunce3331]

I started cubing 20 years ago on an official hard to turn Rubik's cube. Collected a bunch of original cubes from eBay, which was brand new at the time. Eventually tried to get in to speed curbing with some cube4you cubes and then lost interest for 10 years or so. Although I did get a vcube7 but it wasn't the greatest. I just got back into it and love all of your content. Starting out with a yuxin little magic and may get a mf8 based on your reviews . I'm a metal head myself and feel like I relate to your channel more than the others, so keep it up dude. \m/ \m/

[@cubeophilic.x7301]

And Congrats for 200K subs! I started cubing after watching your channel! U changed many of our lives! Keep cubing and keep uploading!

[@crazybadcuber]

I don't have 200K subs

[@cubeophilic.x7301]

It just my wishes in advanced 👍

[@Ephemerthefish2525]

glad you're ok also i was there when you where the most popular cuber channel bought the first moyu cubes and shuang ren cuz of you and glad i did you use to upload daily for crazy puzzles

[@AbsoRuud76]

Welcome back! Everybody needs a vacation! Glad to see your videos again. I always enjoy your reviews because I feel that your taste in cubes is similar to mine so I find your reviews very reliable. I got my WuQue because you were so positive about it, and even though I really hated it at first, it's grown on me and now I'm at least a minute faster than with my QiYuan. I'm now comfortable sub 4, close to sub 3, and still improving. Might need some help setting it up and lubing it though, but maybe I can get some help with that at the competition I am going to.

[@248Rocketman248]

Glad to see you back. I've been watching since pretty close to the beginning. Your original TomZ 4x4x6 video is where I started.

[@marcelvdberg]

Good to see you uploading again! Looking forward to the Twisty Tex video. In my opinion your content is still one of the best around :-)

[@cloudskipa]

You are incredible. Not sure what I just watched but that was very satisfying.

Welcome back!! everybody needs a break ....missed your tutorials.. cause I also suck solving big cubes...

[@zackyp]

Good to have you back!

[@TheHuntingRooster]

Haven't cubed seriously in over five years, but I'm still subbed to you. Always good to see an upload from you my brother.

[@jarenballard9882]

miss your vids man! do what you need but you’ll always have me!

[@tomdooley9675]

Welcome back Dan. Everyone needs some time off

[@nabranestwistypuzzler7019]

Put the 1st 4 edges on the bottom, and then you don’t have to look on the bottom ever again.

[@CKSuperLevis]

That's efficient for bigger cubes like 9x9+. I've tried that for 6x6 but it doesn't really make me better or worse. I guess it's all based on how good your look-ahead is.

[@Burner388]

You being happy and enjoying your time on KZbin is most important, just keep it fun and enjoyable for yourself

[@monkeydude1313]

Glad to see ya back man. Keep rockin it.

[@crazybadcuber]

Wow nice to see a comment from you! Glad you’re back too!!

[@monkeydude1313]

​@@crazybadcuber The cubing community is one of the most welcoming I've ever experienced. So many good friends and nostalgia just waiting to be reconnected with. Maybe you and I can do a collab some day.

Hi Dan, glad to see you back again. 😊👍🏼

[@cubingmarvel5880]

I love your channel a lot Dan. I will always watch your videos.

[@laskatz3626]

I just found your channel. I think your tutorial on the axis cube is excellent.

[@EthanRandoms]

I am happy that you are back and I hope that you are very refreshed from your break.

[@Sayeedur123]

Hi! I remember watching your videos all the way back in 2012 and I thought I'd drop by and say hi :)

[@stoneps]

Glad to see your back! I’m not the best at 6x6, but I would say instead of using a bunch of double wide moves, use some slice moves like you would do in 3x3 or 4x4. Not to many though, because they might hurt your hands.

[@robertolatakia2521]

im happy you're already here!!

[@sumiranmaiskar]

I have no idea what you are talking about! The views are the KZbin weirdness thing going on ( I'm not fully sure about that stuff) but I love you videos just as much, if not more than I always have! And I'm sure many agree. Keep going, Dan :)

[@herrreinsch]

you have 100% Kevin hays turning style when turning a 6x6..........very nice. :)👌👍

[@kalpanapatel2387]

Don't underestimate yourself, you are my excellent tutor.😁👍👌

[@vibhanshupathak3622]

Please don't lose your hope , we are with you

[@rookrabbit3006]

U haven't seen me solve a 6x6, sit back, relax, get comfortable cause it takes about ten to fifteen minutes, all is well, welcome back.

[@drecubing6927]

1. get an aoshi gtsm 2. have no colour preference 3. try to plan first two bars in inspection 4. try to avoid inner layer turns 5. parity but for edges the lookahead needs to improve, its far more efficient to solve the edge slower so that you can find the next then quickly solve the edge and then look for the next one (but there are very few cubers with anywhere near decent 6x6x6 lookahead during edges (basically just Max and Kevin and maybe Feliks)

[@chessdude67]

Dude, You are one of the best teachers on cubing on KZbin!! Please come back Strong!! We love you, Bro. Peace! 👍👍✌🏼

[@callumthomas5001]

He’s back.

[@4K1RO]

glad to see u back! :D

[@NaveyBlu]

The same thing happens to me with edge pairing. I'll feel like I search every edge and will not see it and it'll end up being right next to where it needs to go.

[@stevenharris1714]

I'm a producer to and try to play all the instruments I knew there was something about you you have the best Channel on KZbin

[@octogintillion]

Show a 3x3 ao5 please! I would really like to see what times you get now. BTW I'm really glad you are back, you used to make really cool vids! (And I know you will make great ones in the future too!)

[@TwistyTex]

Good luck on your fresh (re)start! 🤠

[@tricubing7748]

To start, try get 2 bars instantly from inspection while looking into the next pieces

[@spongeben1073]

Glad to see a comeback man, I was getting a bit worried for a minute.

[@dannyrodriguez4582]

Love your content, keep it up!

[@pantoffelkrieger8418]

I suck at 6x6 Too But There is one thing: when u do ur first center, u don't have to slice back after inserting a bar, especially if there's no more white on top

[@fatherfilth3784]

I'm glad you are back CBC!

[@g-whittington]

OMG you're back. Yay

[@jaredbewley689]

Glad to see you’re getting your feet back under you, i’ve always enjoyed your videos. Side question, is CrazyBadBricks still a thing? Just wandering if you’ve discontinued that project altogether or something. Either way, I was very pleasantly surprised to see you upload, please keep it up.

Ayy, finally back. Last time I saw something from you was when you said you were getting your truck license.

[@crazybadcuber]

Suupur Sanicc that was years ago. Thanks for coming back!!!

[@SuupurSanicc]

@@crazybadcuber Of course dude. Now that I'm back into cubing, might as well go back to my favorite cuber.

[@STCuber1]

Your back!

[@ssimarsawhney]

when you do edge pairing, i think you should focus less on getting a whole edge at once and more on getting pairs (bottom, middle, top). it helps me just keep pairing and decreases my time looking for specific pieces, especially at the beginning, bc u see a pair and u just go

[@PkGam]

Really you shouldn't worry about views as they have no correlation to actual quality. As examples: Those "life hack" channels which are basically just content farms that put out inaccurate information often get tons of views.

[@DTGMRuns]

We have your back. We shall restore you to your former glory!

I think so there is a large scope of improvement in your Finger tricks... That would actually help a lot as during edge pairing as the solve becomes choppy
