Monkeydude1313's YouTube Tutorials

[ChrisBird]

Hey Everyone,
I've been posting YouTube tutorials for almost two years now, and throughout this time have gone from super crappy tutorials to tutorials that I am mostly proud of. Of course if they were perfect I would have nothing to strive for, so I decided to post my newest tutorials on here, and see what you guys think.

If you have any comments, constructive criticism, or compliments I would be glad to hear them. And I emphasize the "constructive" in constructive criticism, meaningless bashes/insults will do no good to anyone.

I will update this post, as well as posts throughout the thread whenever I make a new tutorial.

I have added my comments on each video, as well as the video itself, in the spoiler tag.

Case 3: Adjacent Corner Switch on Top Layer and Opposite Corner Switch on Bottom Layer
R U' R F2 R' U R'

Case 4: Adjacent Corner Switch on Top Layer, Bottom Layer Solved
T-Permutation, any PLL that switches only two adjacent corners,
or
R U2 R' U' R U2 L' U R' U' L

Case 5: Opposite Corner Switch on Top Layer, Bottom Layer Solved
Y-Permutation, any PLL that switches only two opposite corners,
or
R U' R' U' F2 U' R U R' D R2

If you have any questions or comments, leave them below this video.

Comments: I think I went over everything clearly. Something you may comment on is the 2-Look OLL algs that are given are for the 3x3, and therefore way to long for the 2x2. I did this because I thought it would kill two birds with one stone for beginners learning the method to also get Fridrich 2-Look OLL down.

Thanks for watching, hope this helps!

Comments: I am quite happy with how this turned out, however it is a little long for my liking. I couldn't figure out a way to make this suitable and understandable to all people watching and to make it shorter, so I took the "Slowly but surely" method rather than risking it.

Thanks for leaving your thoughts on these, as I want to make my future tutorials as good as I possibly can.

lol most of these have nothing to do this his videos Well i must say, these are very decent tutorials, and I could easily learn how to solve the skewb and solve the 2x2 using the ortega method. If you think about it, do you think a person without any knowledge of the cube could understand most of the tutorial?

If you think about it, do you think a person without any knowledge of the cube could get anything out of the tutorials?

For the Skewb and Skewb Ultimate, yes.

The Ortega tutorial is not meant for beginners.

Mmmmm ok well I recommend not throwing around words like algorithm or permutation before you explain them as beginners might get confused.

 

[splinteh]

You should make a SQ1 tutorial

 

[Forte]

You should make a SQ1 tutorial

I think that David Woner should make some sq1 vids owait he already did

 

[ThatGuy]

I lieked your UFO one. But it took me until today to realize that I could about half the time it took by doing both sides at once. :fp

[hic0057]

You should make a SQ1 tutorial

Could you make a SSQ1 tutorial instead. I've heard that you made one before but you ended up deleting it. Why?

 

[Truncator]

Solve the inner two layers like a Square-1, then solve the outer two layers as a Sq1. That's all there is to it

The Skewb one is pretty awesome. I took some stuff from it to make my own method.

I have a little graphic that says "Chris Bird Win" But I don't feel like posting it now.
