Extended Cross Tutorial

[fanwuq]

I don't get why people always say "blockbuilding techniques". The word "technique" somehow implies that it's something that needs to be learned, that's a skill. But it's not. Anyone can blockbuild. It's logic.

What do you define as skill?
Per has the most awesome blockbuilding skills. Anyone can do anything if they try and practice.

Edit:
If you mean that a tutorial is pointless, then I would agree.

Tommie,
Your blocks were not efficient at all. If anyone should even make a tutorial on extended cross at all, it should be someone who can get a 2x2x2 in 6 or less moves consistently on average.
Try this:

It is amazing.

Freakin props to the master. It's like the only good video on youtube with Petrus blockbuilding in it. Everyone else can hardly see a 1x2 from inspection. We like to track 2x2x3 pieces. =D

I made the tutorial to teach the basics, theres no need to be professional, I help you start and you do the rest.

I should learn full PLL before x-cross? or not?

Not really:rolleyes:

Are you saying to skip PLL and learn x-cross first? I have to disagree there. Doing an efficient x-cross is much more difficult and takes more practice. You'll be using PLL more often anyway.

He said full pll no one said skip pll..

If you are solving the same color cross every time, then shoot to solve Xcross about 25% of the time at most. So to answer your question I would learn PLL, but play around with Xcross to be used only on occasion. Using PLL will be far more useful at this stage in your learning. Xcross is just something to use when it is easy to see, and when it comes up in your favor.

Okay... Thanks... I'll learn the 3-look LL then first. Right now 4-look is pretty slow .

// I forgot... The PLL skip? So I should learn x-cross and then every time I solve just look for skip.. When it doesn't come I just hit the time and dnf ? That would make me to the DNF king

Thnx for the vid fanwuk

PLL = Full PLL, there is no distinction. And you basically said skip PLL and learn x-cross first. You can still come back and learn something you've skipped over but you've put it off for something that isn't as important.

I have not said that, all I said was not really.

I know of people who have learned x cross before their full pll

 

[brunson]

The two seem pretty independent of each other.

Finally learned this new concept. Thanks man

Oh, another thing. No offense but someone of your skill level really shouldn't make videos teaching cube stuff. It's not that your bad at them, it's just that you lack the experience and knowledge of someone who's been doing this a few years. Your idea of 2x2x2 planning is all twisted, because you haven't reached the level where you can see an entire 2x2 block AND MORE yet. Once again, no offense.

I agree. This isn't even really an extended cross. People shouldn't make tutorials if they don't fully understand the idea of what they are making the tutorial on. I don't mean to be harsh, but I feel that stuff like this has the potential to do more harm than good.
