The story here is that I never watched a video for intuitive F2L because they were all too long. I find that I learn better from videos, but I'm also super impatient. So when I was learning, I just went to the F2L wiki page and looked at the algorithms to learn F2L.
I always didn't like teaching...
Thanks! A lot of people have suggested wide T perm as well, which I knew about, but honestly I feel like it's a sacrifice not to use A perm since it's 9 moves with no awkward things going on. At least I think it's true for 3x3, not necessarily on big cubes though.
Something I worked on learning last year without full knowledge of the advantages, but I kept discovering more. It's not revolutionary as a technique on its own, and there's a Cubing World ottozing video on the same idea + partial EP recognition. But I go over some non-obvious advantages it...
I briefly go through the basics of keyhole, and then talk about how to use this technique for multislotting.
I also show how to take advantage of a Pseudo X-cross, which I have never seen people talk about.

Congrats on your new PBs! Even on cam. Last time I got a PB single was a few minutes after putting my camera away to charge. feelsbad
I forgot to mention this in the video but COLL is only more worth it if you really practice your U/H/Z perms and you are generally able to recognize them from...
Holy crap guys thanks for watching and sharing my videos!
This means so much to me cause i just started not long ago and I'm so happy it's actually helpful.
I haven't been to this forum before but I feel a sense of community and kindness here.
Thanks so much!
Btw you can just mirror my algs. Also, I try to present all my algs in a right handed way since I dont want my leftyness to affect others LOL

If I ever do an alg lefty and you want to do it righty, you can just enter the alg in there and...

I make lots of tutorials and videos on improvement, and if you like my stuff then you can comment on the videos with video requests. Thanks for watching!
All from my experience and it baffles me that these things are not being made common knowledge by now. Spread the word!

2. Actually slow...

I remember I had a lot of trouble learning early on from text based tutorials, and I wasn't able to find good videos around that were relatively short. So I hope mine is good!
There are only 2 required algorithms, which is a good start and anyone...
For people who work, it's preferable to pay an extra ~$20-25 if it saves a couple of hours. If I can earn the money in 1 or 2 hours but it would take me 2-3 hours for DIY, I don't see how DIY alone is a good argument against the value.
Oh I read the post but didn't catch that; didn't realize what flush with spokes meant. My bad
I found that the tension is pretty good like that, but (using yellow springs) it seems like if I loosen it slightly from there, the friction drastically reduces but if I go slightly looser than that...
I feel like green is slightly too loose and anything past green is way too loose. What tensions are you using? Like how far does the screw poke out of the plastic? (or inward)
At competitions, I used to underperform in finals because I really wanted to be prepared and tired myself out throughout the day. When I feel like my brain is fatigued, my look ahead and reaction time become noticeably worse.
Also, I'll do a good solve at the beginning of a session and look at...
