Arnaud's 5x5x5 video tutorials

[AvGalen]

I cannot tell when I am going to make more video's because I can never find time to make them.

But if you describe the weird cases (just open a topic for it) I can help. I don't think there are many weird cases though!

lol k man. ill wait till the next vid then. but okay mainly weird cases are when you go to pair the next edge up for semi pair and the Middle edge you need to get is already connected to the edge your going to slice back. like how the hell do you do that?? also cases like when the middle edges is somewhere weird like the BL edge group you can move that without screweing other edges up can you? basically the wieerd cases for me are just when edges are in a weird place or already connected to an edge you are going to slice back. thanks arnaud!

 

[masterofthebass]

His written tutorial in this subforum takes care of those cases. I would suggest looking there first. He has examples of each method (beginner, intermediate, advanced) and it covers all the "weird" cases that come up all the time.

 

[AvGalen]

It is very important to realize that you avoid most weird cases just by having a semi-pair. That way you only get weird cases if you have a 2-cycle or if all pieces are in the same slice. Read my tutorial to see how you should handle those at different levels.

So, why are there no "weird cases" like on the 4x4x4? why doesn't the 5x5x5 have them and why does the 4x4x4 have them?

My theory is that the center edge peices are the reason.

 

[masterofthebass]

I never have weird cases on the 4x4. If you're doing 2 edges at a time, then there's only one weird case. The 5x5 has a few more weird cases, due to the fact that you pair 24 wings to 12 edges.

Nice videos!
[EDIT #2 ] Solved!
Thanks alot!

Congratulations. Now start speedsolving it at this weeks competition!

Thanks Arnaud for these vids ! I have read your text tutorial (until until intermediate) but I had never looked at your videos before. They are really great !

i want to learn your way of edge pairing, but i'm more of a visual learner, so can you make a video showing the advanced way of solving the edges on a 5x5? if not, then it's fine

Maybe I can make a new account on Ryan's and do a very slow 5x5 solve so people can see what I'm doing? Should be a good tutorial vid...

nice idea

Algorithms please, I kinda not understand thye other thread..

Thanks

 

[masterofthebass]

There are no algorithms... bigger cubes require intuition, not just applying blind algorithms. Try to sit and understand what's going on. You'll eventually figure it out, and adapt methods to your own style.

Erik, what kind of 4x4x4 is that in the first of the two 5x5x5 edge videos?

Hi Arnaud van Galen,

I have seen your 5x5x5 beginner edge-pairing tutorial but I do not understand one part of it. When you find the edge pieces that need to go together you must then join them together but that messes up the edges. You then said in your video that you must find another edge piece and put it back or something.

Thats the part I don't understand but I hope you understood what I was talking about because its also hard for me to explain.
Thank you for your time and patience:confused:
