[2x2] 1-LOOK TUTORIAL (+Advanced Tips) | How To Be Sub-2

The EG Method includes:

The tracing method shown (OLL and CLL separately) is a starter tracing method. Eventually, you will trace/predict differently for different cases (first face becomes like "cases" much like F2L pairs stop being intuitive).

When you're more experienced, you can visualize the movement of some/all pieces rather than tracing. But by the time you reach that level, you don't need this tutorial anymore. This tutorial is just for people new to one looking.

If you're wondering how the heck this gets done in 15 seconds of inspection, keep in mind that consistent practice will level you up just like it always does!
(a few months ago I couldn't 1-look a 2x2 in 1 minute)

0:48 2 algs for CLL (EG-0) are just PLL algs because the top is already oriented, 3 of them are PBL algs for EG1, and 3 are PBL algs for EG2, so you already know them. Then, for CLL, 7 are algs you already know because you know from OLL, and you might know the recognition or even more cases depending on prior knowledge.

Thanks for this video! I've been learning one-look for a month now with semi regular practice. It's going a lot better than in the beginning, tho I didn't do much practicing past week and I notice it when I cubed today. EG1 is also quite necessary, because sometimes you try to one look something but you don't know the alg for it, so you're stuck one looking.
