Rubik's Cube: X-Cross Tutorial (CFOP)

If you can plan the whole cross during inspection, why not plan more?

Using the code "JPERM" supports my channel and also gives you a discount on your order.

The scrambles in this video were easier than usual, chosen specifically to demonstrate when you should make an x-cross.

I like responding to questions in the comments but sometimes they are repeats.
What do you guys think about if I made a segment at the end of each video where I answer a few questions from the comments so everyone can see them?

I really can't understand why that's so few people who watch your videos, you're doing very well, your explanations are one of the best I've ever heard, your tips are incredibly useful, and (at least in my opinion) you're coming with something new

I honestly thought an X-Cross was literally an "X cross" and I lol'd so hard!

JPerm: "Ok here's the second scramble"
Me: *races for pause button*
Me: *misses*

Just took up a cube for the first time a few weeks ago. There's a lot of content out there, but very quickly, you've become my absolute go-to content maker. Thanks so much. Party tricks, here I come.

I always feel so motivated to practice after watching your videos. In just 2 weeks, I was able to get my average down from 22 seconds down to 19 seconds. Never underestimate the power of practice! 💯💯💯

Scramble 4 was really useful to me. I had already known how to preserve pairs, a solved corner, and a solved edge, but never had I thought of influencing an edge with a corner while doing an Xcross!

This is the best cross video ever! I have never seen a better cubing channel than yours, i also got me and my friends to sub!

The first time I heard about X cross I thought it was too advanced for me. But after a few tens of thousands of solves you start noticing you can do stuff like this, mainly after you hear about keyhole, and study other methods. This actually look fairly simple now, but as you said, it isn't something you can easily do everything single solve (you can if you really want but it won't be worth it).
