2x2 Rubik's Cube: CLL Method Tutorial | How To Be Sub-4

CLL has 42 algorithms, and solves the cube in just 2 steps! This tutorial includes good finger tricks and recognition techniques.

Want more tips?

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

[i don't have time help]

Extra algs I talked about:
Sune: R U2 R' F R U2 R' U R U' R' F
Antisune: L' U2 L F' L' U2 L U' L' U L F'

Recognition Method ►
1. I recognize OLL first
2. Next I look at 3 stickers except H/Pi where I use 4
- Use the stickers I use. If not, make sure the 3 stickers come from different pieces
- I only look for matching or opposite stickers. Opposite means white/yellow, red/orange, green/blue
- For example if 3 stickers are red/orange/blue, I'm focusing on red/orange to recognize the case
- U/T cases can be recognized from either side. 4 U and 4 T cases have the same pattern whichever side you look from. 2 U cases and 2 T cases look different from different sides and I talk about this in the video.
- H/Pi can be recognized the same way from any side.
- Sune/Antisune/L cases require you to know 2 angles of recognition if you want to save time, so optimizing recognition for these will take the most effort

It's awesome that exactly when I want to start 2x2, my favourite youcuber starts putting up videos for it... Thanks a lot JPerm!

[Neurotripsicks]

I would have to say that overall, J Perm has the best channel for all your cubing needs.

You are insane.
I was learning algs from pdf but that was so boring and you are here with new video.

[NTPanda_]

And I went crazy when I saw that Ortega had 7 cases🥵

[davidgeier]

Just learned ortega and I'm taking a peek at the next tier of 2 by 2. Wow that's a few algs.
I one looked ortega though and got a 1.28. Really easy scramble.

[LGShiro_FPS]

Ive been observing J perm
Yj mgc 2x2 = 2x2 tutorial cube
Valk 3 = used in critiques in old vids
Stickered cubes = cross tutorials

[ezycuberz]

J perm! I just went through your 2x2 CLL algorithm website. The way you have programmed it is so good. If I'm learning a particular algorithm, I just click the picture once and mark it yellow. In case I have finished learning, I click it again and mark green. This idea is actually awesome. I would like to recommend you to make mobile applications with all algorithms! It would be really helpful for all cube psyches like me. Also you would get more donations!

[Namuundoesstuff]

This is hurting my brain I think I’ll just stick with ortega
Edit: it’s been 1 year and i finally decided to start learning CLL, i currently know all the sune cases :D
edit 2: gave up on learning cll, 2x2 is a pointless event
edit 3: i learnt cll and im learning eg1 now, i also got a 3 mover in comp 💀💀

[cubesncubes]

This is the best cubing channel on earth!

Lots of love from India.

[Wzzzrd]

WUUUUT I i just bought a new 2x2x2 and you uploaded this video

[MikleSokoloff]

I’ve learned about half of algorithms. And my time drops to sub 7. So tysm. I wish good luck for everyone.

[ezycuberz]

Within 4 days of complete dedication and amazing will power, I have learnt 30 algorithms with perfection in solving as well as in recognition! Thanks to your dedication in making the 2x2 cll alg website! Love from me and my 2x2 sister (Yea I call 3x3 my bro and 2x2, 4x4 my sis. 5x5 and 6x6 are my uncle and aunt 😂 7x7 and 8x8 are my grandparents!)😘

[sarveshponsankarapandian]

THANK U MUCH!! 1 PROPER VIDEO ABOUT CLL IN

[NoahS]

It's so weird he always has the perfect videos for me. I'm averaging 4.2 and want to stop using Ortega so I look up CLL Tutorial and voila!

For antisune 3:45 u could use a sub g perm R2 U R’ U R’ U’ R2 U’ R2

I finished learning cll today and got my first sub 4 average… 5 times
