There aren't a lot of good resources that I know of on finger tricks... I learned them by watching other people solve and figuring them out. So technically I was watching a video, but it wasn't a video on finger tricks...
Mostly myself, but ofc I've had other random influence.
People often say "I exec the (move) with my (specific finger)" alongside algs and you learn techniques from that.
Watching people solve is another influence, but I think self discovery is the most important aspect. Unique things may work for you that others have not yet discovered.
I learned mostly my own, except the double flick. I watched some youtube videos for pll fingertricks and stuff, but I rarely found any that I liked better than my own.
I learned them mostly on my own. At the time I was learning to cube, there were very few videos out there, and I didn't know anyone else that cubed. The one great resource I did find though, was Bob Burton's site.
I have since learned a lot of new tricks, are RELEARNED a lot of my old one's that weren't actually so great from videos and other cubers.
I kinda did all three. Most of them I've just developed naturally, but I've improved a little off my brother, and learned things like the M-slice and double flick off the internet, just to improve my style.
you learn fingertricks separately after you finish learning an alg? how would you /why would you want to learn things then learn the correct way to do them/ why wouldn't you do it the fast/natural way this first time?
I learned by myself, but I used an improper U turn. I was inspired to practice the U turn by video and by a friend. I voted for the first 3 because of that.
