I made this because I couldn't find anything similar to it, and most of the things I show aren't that well-known.

I cover some practicing tips (0:58), show how/why 2-side PLL recognition is useful (1:57), talk about the different PLL CP cases (2:48), give some examples of similar-looking PLLs and how to distinguish them (4:06), and show what I think are the most difficult cases to recognize fast and how to do it (5:49).

VERY well produced! Excellent editing, some of the best I've seen in a cubing video--takes the informational value up to a whole new level.

Thank you!

Awesome G-perm tips.

Question for all: Do you prefer animations like these over physical cubes in a tutorial?

I would say it depends on what the tutorial is for. For something like this that doesn't involve any algorithms and only deals with two or three sides of the cube, I would prefer animations because they aren't subject to interference by lighting, how the person is holding the cube, camera angle, etc. Physical cubes let you show finger tricks and are easier to work with when you need to pay attention to pieces all over the cube (i.e. F2L, reduction on big cubes, cross, F2B) because you can rotate quickly.

EDIT: I guess animations could also give you more flexibility with sound editing.

This is the future of all cubing videos!

I think all tutorials should be made in this format. Official and unofficial averages especially!
This spectacular video is the reason for such a shift in cube video formats, and I think it will turn out very well :).

This deserves to be better known. Excellent in both content and presentation. Thanks.

Really, this receives my highest praise. Thank you.
