I did say I was going to do it again one day .
Uh What years of time can do to you either you can make a lot of progress or you can forget your algorithms .
What I would do here before is just insert this white piece .
This is a really easy case and you just solve the rest in one algorithm .
That's what I would do if I remembered the algorithm .
But what I would do today is just insert this corner into the correct spot and insert this one into the correct spot , which is still pretty fast and I got AC LL case and just hope is one of the three by three ones that I already know that was embarrassing .
OK ?
I really hope I got better at three by three .
So in this case , uh the white cross is probably going to be the best one because I can set up red and green to go in like this .
So with orange already here , then I would just move orange with AD prime and then I can put in red and green together .
I would then put in blue , which can be done with a wide U prime and then L two .
But I don't immediately do L two here because I've noticed from planning earlier to try and find my first pair instead of L two , it's better to do L prime and this sets up and then you can take it out and then continue L prime .
Then as I insert this , I notice that these two or these two can be my next pair .
So I will just do the rotation and insert this and I'll show you how I would have done this one .
It's a pretty funny trick .
Uh So here I can go straight into a wide move here .
And the reason is because it lifts up the M slice because one way you can solve this case is with M slice like this and then like that and it pairs them up .
I just think it's really cool .
It's uh probably just like tied for fast with what else you could do then I have these two and this one .
But this is the one I was tracking earlier because I saw it at the same time as I saw this pair .
So I will go into this one next , which is rotation less like this .
Oh Would you look at that ?
It pairs up the next one and I can insert it with hedge like that .
And then OK , I did not expect to be getting a ZBLL that I knew I barely know any .
But now you can think that I know full ZBLL that made this whole video worth it .
I have four by four , my next competition and I decided to actually practice this cube for one .
And so I switched to the MGC because sometimes switching cubes just makes me better .
And I don't know why I can start with any center on four by four , but I will usually go for white or yellow if it works out the best .
So looking at white , we have a quick one move bar right here and then the other two are right here and then looking at yellow , uh we have a quick one move bar here and the other two are right here .
So this actually is a little bit better on yellow .
How I would do this for yellow is uh make that bar and then combine these two in a way that they can go in right here .
As I make this yellow center though , I want to see if I can change it up a little bit or add moves in order to make the white sensor better .
So how I'm going to do that is the same moves from the start , let this , let this and like this .
And then before doing white R prime , I'm just going to insert a V move because if I don't do that , it ends up like this .
But if I do that , it ends up like this , which is better .
And during that I should have tracked where this and this were and I will just pair them up now just like this and then insert it up to here .
And now next , I'm going to do white edge pieces .
So I will take a look quickly at what I have as I'm inserting this and here's the two orange pieces .
Now as a lot of , you know , I do everything mirrored .
I do lefty stuff .
So if you actually watch this , it's not going to be the best habits for you .
So now I will flip the video , the color scheme is gonna look wrong , but you're gonna see this is now my right hand and this is now my left hand , which is going to be how you should be doing things .
So I will solve these two like this , which gives me visibility of a lot of the other pieces .
Here are some blues , here are some greens and then I will insert the orange one right here and then I will do blue uh red's better , but I noticed the blues first .
So I will just do blue first while tracking the reds and then blue goes here .
Remember color scheme is going to look wrong .
But this is the correct way for me now and then red and red , left and right side put them together .
And luckily that also got green for me .
So I'll just put green in actually .
And the way I do this is , if I have four edge pieces that are done , which I usually do , then I'll save one on the other side and attach it to a center bar .
All right , then it's really important during four by four centers to track things that you're going to be looking away from .
So as I saw the blue center , I noticed that this is at the bottom left and then as I look for the other blue center bar , I see it right here .
I don't need to take a second look at this one .
I already memorized where it is .
So I will do this , put it here .
And as I'm doing this , I'm already thinking about the next center which above blue would be red .
So I will align this to be put in .
But instead of just doing yr prime , I will then align the next center to come here .
So now here's my red center bar , then here it is red .
So I'm good enough at four by four that I've already planned out how I'm gonna solve this entire thing into here , which means I will then look at the next color , which is green and I see this one right here .
I don't see the other one .
So once I see it , as long as I have this one memorized , I won't have to look at that again .
So I solve red like this and notice the green is at the bottom left and then insert red and knowing that green is at the bottom left , I don't need to go up and look at it again .
I know that since this is like an arrow pointing at the bottom left , I'm good to go and just insert it like that .
And then I can solve this piece and there's my cross and centers next .
What I do is a slice move in this direction .
And then I will take one of these two usually and try and solve the corresponding piece .
And this is 323 edge pairing .
So if you don't know how it works , I have a tutorial right there .
So here I will start by looking for orange blue and I see it right there .
So that's easy .
Uh Then as I insert orange blue , I want the green , orange at the next spot .
So this , when it slices back will pair to here .
So this piece right here needs to be orange blue .
So I insert orange blue over here and I'm inserting into the back .
So I have visibility of the front here is the orange green piece .
So I need this one right here so I can take it out and put it in here .
Looking ahead to red blue .
Then I put red blue right here and I slice back .
All right .
Now I have three edges made and I have here .
This is yellow blue that I'm gonna solve next .
And I can solve it into either of these two locations .
So right here , yellow blue , solve that .
And when I slice back , the yellow green is gonna slice back to this spot .
So yellow green right there and slice back .
Then I need red green , which was this one slice .
And then I need yellow red here when I slice back and that is the reduction stage , the rest is just three by three and pa but let's see if anything interesting happens .
So first I will solve these two and then these two , which I was looking ahead to .
Uh now I see these two as I solve it .
So I will so oops lost it .
This one and this one with keyhole and then these two OK .
I already know there's gonna be parody now .
So let's see what happens .
And here I can do sledgehammer before starting the parody and then insert this pair and that's just a faster way to skip oll .
OK .
Now , I have a V perm with no parity five by five .
OK .
Something I actually feel like I'm really good at for five by five .
I start with any colored center .
But if you use yo like me , but you cannot do color neutral for the three by three stage , then you should start with white or yellow .
So how I would start this one is with red because that's just such an easy two bars .
But how I will start with this one just for the sake of the example solved is I'll start with white .
So there are a lot of patterns that are very good for making your first two by three .
And here I would just start it like this to make this pattern .
This fish pattern is great because you can connect the corner to any one edge like this one and it will just make your two by three .
But from inspection , I noticed that we have this one on the opposite side and you want as few pieces in the opposite side of your starting center as possible .
So I will use this one instead to finish off this two by three .
And then I have this one here , this one here and this one right here .
So I just need to align the corners and then align the edge with it and join them all together and then I can put it up here .
Now , before I do that , I just want to make sure that my yellow center is turning into something good .
This is good because I have this one here as well .
But just in general , I would try to make that into this instead .
So here , I would then take this one and pair it with this and notice how I can do a wide U instead of just a normal U because that joins these two .
And then as I insert these , I will then look at this and join them all together .
And then move it up here .
Now as I do this again , I am going to mirror the video because I'm doing Yao again , the part where I make the three edges here is the hardest for look ahead and I will try my best to looking through my camera .
So here's the two white reds and I noticed none of these that I can see are white red and uh this is the only one I couldn't really see the color of there you go , white red .
So I will join them together and put them in here .
And then now I have these are white blue .
So I will put this here and this here .
So this pattern with a flip flip , the blue ones on top and then like that and put it here again , the color scheme will look wrong because I am flipping the video .
OK ?
Now we have white green .
So here these two white greens .
Um I think that's the last white green because it could be part of it , but it also could be orange and I'm not entirely sure .
So as I do these , I'll just flip up and now I see it actually wasn't , it was this one .
So I'll place these all together like this and I noticed this one ended up on this side .
So I want this one to be on the right side afterwards .
So here it was my red , join them all together and this one needs to go on the right side as I look for the last piece and there it is .
So next , I would just keep this on the right side .
Same idea as what I showed on four by four , red looks like the best center T is a great shape .
So I will just attach it like this and then you can put an edge center into here to finish off this .
T I didn't see any other red pieces .
I'll just go to the other side this , this and this can be put together like , well , OK , I'm gonna do it differently than I thought I was gonna do .
I was gonna do it like this , but that does break that green bar .
I had , I mean , this is still a good case but I would not have known that .
So um how I am gonna do it instead is just join this and then take these and solve it like this .
OK ?
Then I still have this green bar which I think should be good .
So I would then just insert that green bar onto this side to make my T shape and put in either of these edges .
OK ?
Then I'll line up this edge with this corner and see where the last one is it right here .
So then I would just join these altogether , align it and do this .
There's a nice T shape for orange as well .
So uh I would do it So if you do it like this , you end up with this case , which is not good .
So I would instead do it like this and then this gives a slightly better case .
All right , then next , insert this and we have our cross and centers .
Next , I would use free slice to solve any four edge pieces .
And I see these two which is good , but I don't see the last one right away .
So instead I'll just work on something else and this can be for later .
So I have yellow orange , these two .
OK .
I'm trying not to like look at the back and I've noticed so it could be none of the pieces up here .
But I noticed this one could be the last one and so could this one .
So I'll just do D and react there .
It is .
But if it wasn't this one , I would just do D again and it would be the right one for sure .
All right .
Now , I still have that blue red as an option , but I haven't seen where the blue red piece is , uh looking at it and now I can see it's not this one .
So it must be this one .
But uh the first thing I noticed was this yellow blue .
So I'll just do the yellow blue instead , the other yellow blue is here .
So I'll just move this one in and when you have to flip something , it doesn't matter how you put it in because you can always just pair up the ones that are good together and flip the last one and then I can then put them together .
There's my red blue so I can combine it with this up here .
And lastly , what can I do ?
I have a yellow green here and the other one's not on top and it's obviously not one of these .
So it must be that one .
And again , thinking about all that really fast is hard .
But as I'm making this a lot of it should just be muscle memory and it gives me time to think about what that piece must be .
So yellow , green and yellow green here , combine them with the last one .
Don't even need to look that has to be correct and then replace it with something unsolved .
Now I fix the sensors and that ends the free slice stage .
After the free slice stage , I solve the next four edges with cycles .
And that is the four edges currently in the middle layer .
I want two of them to come out into the top layer .
But the other thing you can do is always just solve F two L pairs because you'll have to do that later away .
So this one is great as I solve it , I actually just take two out like that .
So that's really convenient .
Next , I have uh these parts to work on .
So how I would do this is uh for example , like this , I have the red green here .
And these , and after I solve this , I'll just cycle or solve things that are still here .
So here I have the yellow red I can solve next by putting this one in and when I slice back it solves um Now I have this and this , this was a pretty lucky case that after one cycle , I'm down to my last two edges .
Then for every last two edges case there is an algorithm you can do um you can do it intuitively as well by solving one of these and then parody .
But how I would do it is just take them out and then do the last two edge algorithm .
Uh I'm talking now and I kind of forgot how the algorithm goes .
Uh OK .
Good .
I didn't mess it up .
Next is just three by three stage .
Again , I have one pair already solved .
And so I'll just do red green .
You're gonna get a lot of three by three examples .
OK .
This is lucky this pair and then this pair .
OK ?
And then Oll and PLL I tried really hard to get the six by six ramble , correct .
And I did .
But you can see why they have a rule saying in competition , you don't have to get it correct .
Same deal as five by five .
I use the Yao method .
But I'm going to say that on six by six , the popular opinion is that reduction is a better method than yaw .
It doesn't mean reduction is better than yaw .
It's just what most people think .
And I use the Yao method .
I'm going to go a bit faster for six by six and seven by seven .
Because if you actually speed , solve these , you should have decent grasp of the things I'm doing .
I'd start with the yellow sensor .
I just need this and this to join together .
So I'll move this away and then move this up .
Then I have these , which I can reorient all like this and then join this one with it and move it over here .
Now I'm making outer bars , the inner bars are usually better to make first .
So just as I go around , OK , I notice there are only corners .
I forgot to look over here .
So I will join these two and then use a corner to take it down , join it with another corner and put it into the center here , then join these two while looking for more pieces and join them all like this , then move it over here .
And since I have this , I noticed I might as well add an extra move right here to make that bar right there .
All right .
Then I will insert it down here like this and uh I could do this to make a little T shape and join it with this one .
All right , then I'm gonna make another inner bar because again , better to make inner bars first .
These three can be reoriented like this , join this one and do this .
OK ?
I noticed this is a bottom , right ?
Sorry , the video is not mirrored , this is bottom left .
If I'm looking at it like this or top , right , if I'm looking at it like this , I'm going to memorize the location of this so that I can join it with these and I don't want this corner to take its spot .
So for example , I could do them like this .
And then when I put these together , it will all work out .
All right , next is the edge pairing .
So again , I'm going to flip the video and now I'm gonna look for edge pieces .
Here is white green and here is white orange .
So I guess I'll just start with white green .
Here's another one .
So I'll just put the two that are correct together and flip this one with a double move and uh here's the last one .
So join them like this , put them here and I found white , blue , white , blue and last white blue here .
Put it here and then here is white , orange .
I'm gonna do that as my last one .
Flip that to put this one with it .
Then for the fourth cross edge , if it's easy , I'll do it .
If it's not , then I won't do it .
I'll just show what it's like if I don't do it .
So here I'm going to just start working on the centers .
I have a green partial bar here so I can join it .
Not with this because that looks pretty good .
I'll join it with this one and then I will join uh this one with this one right here and then with this one and put it all here , but just do this first so that this doesn't get broken .
So I'm always looking ahead to what I might be breaking by doing the moves that I wanna do and then preserving them .
OK .
So make most of this green bar and put it in like this .
Next up here will be orange .
That's a lot of blue , but making an opposite center next is really bad .
So I'm just going to work on orange .
Next , I can take this and join it with this partial bar and then I can take this and join it to here and uh take this one , put it here and then move this all into the center next um this ugly pattern , but you can do it like this and then join it all to the bottom .
And here I will take this corner , put it here and then take the edge , put it here and put this all in like this and just add some moves here to get this bar like that .
Now , I need uh these two with these two very important to be able to quickly spot all the pieces you need and just solve the whole center bar as one algorithm .
All right , then I will take this , this , this join them all together and put them in .
Then solve this one with a commutator solving it like red goes to here and then other layer up then down and other layer down .
Now I'll just make sure there's no white piece right here because I don't want it already in the cross .
Then I'll just solve the other white red .
So here , this one like that , this one like this and then this one like this , then I'll just put it into the cross and next uh I see a couple of pieces but I'm gonna go for yellow , orange because I can see all four of them .
So I'll just join these two and use the last one which was right here and replace the one that needs to flip .
Then I can put this one in here and get that one back down .
Uh Next I could do orange , blue , orange , blue , orange , blue and this one I see yellow red .
Uh Where's my last yellow , red ?
Not up here .
OK .
I found it at the bottom here .
So I can flip either one of these .
Remember that you can always flip either one and you don't have to flip any one in particular .
All right here it was a yellow green .
That one might also be .
It's not .
Where is it ?
Oh It's up here .
I'm blind OK .
And then fix the centers after four edges .
Now , if there are convenient F two pairs , I will solve them .
But uh if not more , then I would just take a solved edge and put it there as well .
Now , I have two edges here and two up here .
And I can start solving with cycles so I can take this one , move it here and solve this .
Then when I slice back , uh I either want to solve this piece that I sliced away or solve some chunk of this one .
So I'm just gonna solve some chunk of this one .
So I can put the yellow blue right here and slice back then uh I have this and this .
So I can do this , put the red greens opposite of each other .
And then I can do a slice like this , flip this one and slice back .
And the reason I didn't inner slice move is to save one of the pieces that is already solved here .
Uh How would I do this ?
I can flip this one and then solve the red green , put the yellow blue here so that it goes back like this .
And now we just have a last two edge case and it's just like five by five where you can solve it just with an algorithm .
I think this is the same one I did .
All right .
Didn't mess it up and then I have just F two L now and no parody .
That's nice .
And J Perm , oh , my turning on six by six is so ugly .
Ok .
I tried , um , this is the scramble .
I tried to do and you can see , I actually got kind of close but I didn't get it and maybe you can try it .
And if you make the same mistake as me , then you'll get my scramble .
I will not be doing white , yellow for this one because I noticed something really nice on red .
And that is just this block and combine it with this .
And there is a two by two by three really , really quick .
And that is a super great start to a seven by seven solve .
Then I have these two and this and this so I can join all these up for a center bar .
I try to make this as soon as possible .
But the only reason I didn't right away is because I saw something really lucky I could do instead right next , I'll try to make this more inner bar .
The inner bars are always better to make first so I can take this and this combine them while looking for other pieces .
This one , I remember which spots are available , bottom left , this one is bottom , middle , then oops just move it up like this .
Take this one , put it here and this one here , this one here and this one OK .
That's the red center pretty good .
Now for the orange center .
Um middle bar again , first , if convenient .
So I can take this one and I can take this one .
OK .
This can combine with this part .
So I'm gonna do it like this and then uh oops combine this one .
All right .
Uh We have some nice outer pieces here .
So I'll just go for an outer bar first .
I would not default to outer bars , but if an outer bar is convenient , I will do it this time , I'll move it up right here because it takes these pieces down , which is more likely useful .
OK ?
And then just making this inner bar gonna take this one and I could join it .
That's what I was going to do .
But thinking about it , that's not what you should do .
You should just do this and then join it now .
Ok .
During that , I notice a lot of red blues which um I actually never do orange as my cross color .
I do red .
So here's a lot of red , blue and um here where , oh , there's my last red blue .
Ok .
Then I found red , yellow is a good next one to do .
So I'm gonna put this right here and do this , this red yellow and there's my other red yellow .
And uh I have two more right here .
Oops .
And then I will do what ?
Next there we go .
That is the three cross edges .
Then again , I don't do the last one because on seven by seven or the bigger cube .
It is the more inconvenient it is to have the last one just floating around on the other side .
Here , I've made the middle and then here this , I'm combining it with this and then I will combine that all with .
Uh let's just combine it with this one and move it all down .
Then I have uh this and this and then I can combine these two with it and then put them all down here .
All right .
Uh This nice lucky bar , move it all up and this one can combine with these and then this can go right here and just join it with the bars down here and like that .
Next , I have blue .
Um I , I could make this bar right here first because the middle bar is not even close to done .
So I could make this little part here and then join it like that .
Oops .
And then uh middle bar now probably is a good play so I could uh do this to get these two and then uh here I can move this bar away and then put this one in .
All right , then uh this is annoying .
This one it needs to go here .
Uh I'm just gonna remember that and I'm going to take this part like that , then do that .
OK .
Next , I have these two which I can join with this .
Well , I shouldn't have done that .
I should just do all of these together and then join it with this one and put it all on the left side , the right side because it's mirrored and then take this , join with this and join with this and put it over here .
All right .
Next , I'm gonna make a middle bar .
I just like this .
And then these three and these two , there may be something more convenient up here sometimes .
But since these , I can already see from the bottom , then I can just do it .
Oops like this .
OK ?
And then uh this with these and put it in the right side , I mean left side and then uh this , this and this can join together like this and then I can take this one , join it with this part and then this like that there's a bar , then this one would go with this corner and then insert it and then I would solve this one into here and then solve these right next , I would make sure there is no red in the bottom here where the cross piece would go .
So I can just do this and start solving this last cross piece .
There's a flip , put this here and then put it all in the cross like this .
All right , obviously , yellow blue has got to be the next thing that I do .
So there's a yellow blue right here .
And the last one is right here .
I noticed it couldn't have been this one which is why I looked to this side .
Then I have white green and last white green is right there .
I have white , orange is a nice next one to go or orange blue , but I saw white orange first .
So I'll just do that one first and uh yellow green , probably good next one to go with .
Just kidding , orange blue .
That's why you look around .
Sometimes you just get very lucky on seven by seven because there's so many things that can happen .
All right .
Uh Here again , if convenience , I solve F 2 , 12 pairs .
But I don't immediately see how to solve the uh this one or this one with no , not worth solving F 12 pairs .
So I just insert some edge here and some edge .
Well , now it's convenience .
And then , so I have two edges solved on this side .
And then uh these are the unsolved edges and I will work on these next .
So I will try to solve the inner five by five parts first .
That's how I usually do it .
So like the white blue and then I can cycle back to join a yellow orange right here , which also solved this edge .
And then I can solve this orange green with these two .
So let that flip this side .
And then now I have the inner parts done and this is basically five by five now , so I can solve this and this and I'll put a yellow orange here .
Slice back .
A yellow orange here , slice back and then uh I can do these and this all together slice , flip slice .
All right .
Then it's just F two .
That was very lucky .
And then Oll and PLL Kevin Hayes told me to do that more consistent .
Oh No , whatever .
I don't know the rules .
Is this AD NF or is it a plus two or is it just like solved cube ?
Of course , is the only remaining WC a puzzle that is a cube ?
Nope square one is not a cube .
So as you guys know , I don't do SCU except in my stupid challenges , but I am gonna start color neutral with red because of course , I can neutral un cube .
It's so easy .
OK .
Next um How do I do this part ?
I use my own method that I made up when I tried to solve the cube .
And I don't actually know how you're supposed to do this but how I do it is like OK , this one needs to be orange on top .
So I flip it like that and then I do like some setup moves to get the other one here and then flip it as well and then undo the setup moves and that orients these two .
OK .
This one needs to flip clockwise , counter clockwise .
There we go .
Corners done .
Uh two edges done .
I mean those are centers , not edges and then I always forgot how to orient during this part .
Ok .
Like this .
And I just do this three times .
Just kidding .
That was wrong .
Was it like this ?
I am so confused .
Oh , I need to hold the solved ones in my hand .
Ok .
Oh , that was so embarrassing .
There's this cube if you want to get faster and then you can check out my tutorials here .
Um , but don't learn from me for SCU because I don't know what I'm doing now .
You know what ?
I know exactly what I'm doing on Cube and I am proud of myself .
