    sick accent!
    And I'd have to agree about being 2-color neutral, but I think that 6 is unnecessary, unless you're beast at FMC.

    Heh, firstly the word is "neutral" not "natural". Secondly, really there is no need for this video. If someone says "it slows you down" they are a completely inane moron that doesn't understand the concept of colour neutrality. By definition being colour neutral means that there is no difference to your times. If it is slowing you down you are not colour neutral.
    Using my predicting the future skills, I can see that this thread is going to fill up with *****s that will try to argue that I'm wrong. Oh well, I've already flamed them so I have nothing more to say.

    Dene; I agree.
    The only real reason that I enjoyed this video was the accent.
    If someone wants to become color-neutral, they can just do it. It's not a matter of theory, it's just a matter of enthusiasm and practice.

    I was colour neutral before and you can say that it was indirectly slowing me down beacause when i started to always solve cross on orange I got better recognition and faster times.

    I don't think that sounds too *****ic

    This isn't quite right. Being color neutral means that the color you choose to start with makes no difference to your times. This does not necessarily mean being color neutral won't slow you down. It is possible that had you decided to choose one color over the others to always start with, then your recognition for that color would be enhanced.

    I used to be color neutral but when I started using F2L I realized that it was slowing me down. So I switched to just starting with the white side.. Now I use opposite cross, it doesn't require as much practise and sometimes it helps a lot

    If there's no point to being color neutral, then there's even less advantage to being opposite color neutral. Pick a side of the fence, you can't be on both.

    i can't believe i'm saying this, but i agree with dene.

    definition of neutral: not causing or reflecting a change in something.

    if you are color neutral, all colors produce equal times.

    this being said, nobody is truly color neutral, because no matter how much you train your mind, black will still offer quicker recognition on the cube than yellow.

    quote from Joseph: "Being color neutral means that the color you choose to start with makes no difference to your times. This does not necessarily mean being color neutral won't slow you down."

    i lol'd at this one. an exact representation of what you said is:

    x makes no difference to y.

    and in the next sentence:

    however, this doesn't mean x won't make a difference to y.

    ...did that make sense to you when you wrote it?
    We atheists always knew the cake was a lie.
    (unrelated) finally sub-30!
