This is the best tutorial for several reasons
1.Its too short
2.He gives all the cases in these 3:30 minutes
3.*ANYBODY CAN UNDERSTAND FROM IT*

Never thought id learn another method for 2x2 but i thought tonight ill maybe check out a vid on it, here i am, 1 algorithm to go until finished. you dont know how awesome you are and how simple you make things. thanks a bunch

JPERM YOUR TITLE DOES NOT LIE

AFTER PRACTICING FOR 2-3 DAYS I GOT A 4.01 SINGLE THANK YOU

[gamingmadness]

J-perm: You should know this T-perm from 3x3

Me: *cries in 2-look CFOP*

[DActivities]

👇if you agree that j-perm makes the best cubing how to, and solving videos

[limegreen]

does anyone know a good way to remember this many algorithms? I remember the begginers method for 3x3 and 2x2 because it's just muscle memory, but is there a good way to get these down?

[karolissad.]

For personal use:
One (non-cuber) side
Bassically OLL:
Anti-sune: 0:32
Sune: 0:44
T: 0:54
U: 1:04
H: 1:22
π: 1:33
PBL (Permute Both Layers):

Bar on top and bottom: 2:05
No bar: 2:20
One bar: 2:26
One side solved and one bar (T-perm): 2:39
One side solved and no bar (Y-perm): 2:53

[JackieWu-eskw]

it took me only 4 hours to learn this, and usually it will take 2-3 days to learn an entire method. But because of how good this tutorial is, I was cooking. I’m subscribing. Keep up the good work!😊

[bookwirm]

Using your video, I practiced for only 2 days, and managed to get a 7.35 time on the 2x2. It is my new PB! Thanks for the videos!






EDIT: Just subscribed

Alternative to the Y-Perm if you find it awkward on 2x2: (R U' R' U') F2 U' (R U R' U) F2

[sandwich]

2:43 I always use J perm for that case 😉

[jasonnong]

I remember seeing this a couple months ago and thinking that this was hard, now I learnt it in like 20 minutes

[TargetIIT-wxsr]

Alternative for t-perm in PBL case 3 and case 4 - R B' R F2 R' B R F2 R2

In case 3 -Doing this algorithm will complete the layer if 1 bar is already present (put bar side on front top).

Case 4- if no bars present then doing this algorith once will create a bar and now u can proceed as case 3 of PBL.

Bro the visuals on the left helped so much

[darkjak]

You uploaded this the day I decided to learn Ortega method, despite there not being many straightforward tutorials like this with all cases stated (or at least that made sense to me). Perfect timing. Super excited to get these algorithms memorized.
