Best video on the second layer I've seen. I've been trying to get solve this layer for a week and all the videos I've watched have tried to give me algorithms which suck. This video was great because you showed us the reasons to move them to where they're going excellent work dude

Oh my gosh your the only YouTuber that helped me solve a rubix cube I literally never solved a rubix cube with other people's videos but when I saw your video it only took me about an hour to finish solving it. Thank you very much

This video beats all the others. I've been trying to solve middle layer for a month now and all the videos give cheap tricks or algorithms that Suck. Ur video explains why we have to move the pieces there. Keep it up man

The only guy in the planet who made my life in Rubiks made it easier so far...you are a good teacher!

[nightslayer]

You’re the best rubiks cube YouTuber because you show all of the possible outcomes and not just the situation your cube is in

[Mallayah]

You also give the tutorial at the most appropriate speed for a person that's learning, & your voice is excellent for teaching. TU.

I wanted to learn it so i could teach my son. Your videos are the best since you explain how to do it rather than just telling the algorithm. Thanks a lot.

some tutorials take like 30 mins long just to teach a single layer. this is incredible! tysm.

By far the most straightforward and best explanation of how to complete the 2nd tier. And using the "elevator" scenario really helps. Beats the other explanations using long winded algorithms hands down.

[xsxtxx]

I’ve seen so many tutorials and none of them were as helpful as this one. I like how you display different scenarios and not just how your cube is scrambled. Splendid! Your technique is seamless.

[josephdoseph]

Dude! Elevator description is genius. I was trying to remember 8 step moves for left and right movement of edge pieces, but your way is super easy to master!

Thank you man in 2019 i had a gan cube and brought it school and there was a contest i got top 1 and my time is 20.6 seconds without this tutorial i would be in last place Thank You so much

I'd never tried to solve a cube before until about a week ago. I wanted to see if I could get it on my own. I got all the way up to the very last side piece on the second layer without looking up tips, but I was always setting the correct edge into the correct spot, but the colors were inverted. It was abject frustration. So, I just broke down and found your video... in like, 5 seconds my middle layer is solved. Thank you so much!

[deepakrai]

I followed n number of videos for weeks to solve 2nd layer. This id the simplest video. Solved 2nd layer easily . Thanks !

[thefakejk]

I started trying j perm but and mixed you and his ways to solving the Rubiks cube and you we’re easier slower and you just ended up being way better

[donescool]

this is the best second layer video I've ever seen I've been stuck on the second layer for like longer than a week and this helped me solve it.

[funkycatglasses]
