    Yay! I'm a genuis! okay, anyways, someone needs to make a intuitive f2l hard cases video, because the one by westonian is simply ridiculous with 13 algorithm cases, and no one else can seem to make a decent video, and badmephisto's website is down for now...so...yeah...could you post below me if you know the algorithms? Greatly appreciated if you provide pictures too.

    How is theWestonian's video "ridiculous"?

    Algorithms that can be done intuitively and 13 algorthms is just...there should be just 4 or 5 cases and more for mirrors, and I understand that your his "buddy" and all, so sorry if you were offended.

    I do not understand why you are bringing my acquaintance level with him into this, I was merely asking why you thought it was ridiculous.

    They may be able to be done intuitively, and that's all good, but it would take much fewer moves if you learn an algorithm.

    I would suggest learning those 13, they will really help for your hard cases.

    I think that I already pointed out that half were NOT hard cases.

    EDIT: Oh yeah, and your "acquaintance level" with him DID matter, because if you didn't have an idea who he was, then be honest, you wouldn't care.

    A few things.
    1) I know his video, and I believe it to be a good one, which is why I was asking why you did not think it was a good video.

    2) It would be very close minded of me to consider a tutorial as good just because I am friends with the person making it. That is same kind of thing fanboys do, and I can assure you I am not a fanboy.

    3) Whether they are hard cases or not is a matter of opinion, the person making the tutorial (theWestonian) believed those to be the hardest cases, so he taught them. If you think they aren't hard, you cannot judge the validity of the tutorial based on that. The most you could say is that you don't think he taught the material that should be taught.

    4) I do care, even if I didn't know him, because the pointless lampooning of videos because you don't agree with them is stupid and ignorant.

    It still remains that your opinion of his video lends nothing to this discussion of how to be Sub-20, nor does my logic and reasoning supporting my opinion lend anything to it. So I will drop it.

    A meta discussion of which videos suck and why is off topic in this thread, please start a new thread or take it to PM. :-)
    The person posting below me is a genius.

    I know this is blatant self promotion, but anyways:

    So far I have made 4 parts of my 6 part series of how to get faster using the fridrich method, for a total of 8 videos. People say that they're quite helpful, so I thought I'd post the playlist here:

    Hopefully it can help some of you guys!

    I find it easier to look ahead using cross on left. :P.
