wow, thats really good, never would'v e thought t odo it like that, mustve been a loose cube tooo

well its the type A i use for speedcubing(i only have 1 diy) and i usually keep it tuned really tight since i am an aggressive turner. however, i did loosen the yellow side by a bit, to make LL insertion easier, but it is still quite tight. i think it's better to have a tight cube for this to prevent misaligning. the reason LL insertion is so easy is because i am inserting over an opening in the F2l(notice how the last 2 pieces were so hard? no opening underneath). my method goes:

2 Opposite cross pieces
2 Opposite cross pieces
1st F2l pair
2nd F2l pair
3rd F2l pair
4th f2l corner(no edge)

insert over 4th F2l slot in this order:
single edge
corner+edge
corner+edge
corner+edge

rotate cube and insert final corner+edge pair(last LL corner + missing F2l edge)

it took forever to develop a consistent and fast cross method, which i will keep kind of secret for now.(its hard to see in the video)

Wow, that must take a bit of practise! But you do have all the pieces nicely set up in front of you. It'd be more of a challenge if they were a complete mess.

That's what I do except, I insert the C/E pair of F2L together, and 3 pieces at a time on the last layer and 2 edges last.

Hmm, never tought of leaving the last edge piece out of the F2L, it can help me with assembling my cube after lubing it. Thanks for the tip! :D
