Dan Brown's New Video

[Innocence]

He shows this frequently with mistakes in notation and advising people to use Vaseline on their cubes

Last time I checked, he only did that once or twice. Who knows, maybe he knows now that it's a bad thing.

Not saying he's the best, but he's ok.

Another thing I like about Dan Brown is he teaches beginners that every fast speedcuber is colour neutral . At least, he did in his old tutorial.

How is teaching false things a positive? I'd rather learn something once from a decent teacher than learn something from a great teacher and have to relearn it later.

Yeah, ok, fair point. Let me rephrase that. What I was trying to say was that he frequently makes mistakes, examples of which are incorrect notation and bad cube maintenance advice, not that he frequently tells people to use Vaseline in their cubes. That was poorly worded of me! Having said that, people are allowed to make mistakes, but he has such a huge audience I just wish he could do a better job.

he doesn't know what those algorithms really do...like the thing he does on LL when you're permuting the last layer, it's actually a SUNE but he uses it to PERMUTE the LL edges. What?!?!?!?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, well, you're an idiot.

Hahahaha oh that's golden.

the sune algorrithms are a perfectly good way of permutating edges in a behiner methos, they are reasonably short and easy to remember, and i think a lot of people use them for edge permutation on the megaminx

Huge overstatement.

I really don't get why the method Dan Brown teaches gets so much hate from you guys. I don't know about most people, but when I first started trying to figure out how to solve the cube I didn't have in mind solving it as fast as possible; understanding how it could be solved was much more important to me.

I've taught a lot of people how to solve the cube, most of them have been interested in understanding exactly what's going on and how a solution works as opposed to just applying algorithms without having a clue of how they do what they do. A slight modification of the method Dan Brown teaches has been by far the best way I've found to explain to someone how a solution works.
