2. 0:13advanced f2l is this term that gets
3. 0:15thrown around but i don't feel like a
4. 0:16lot of people really know what this
5. 0:18means there have been a lot of videos
6. 0:19about advanced f2l and while i think
7. 0:21these videos are all good they go over a
8. 0:23lot of tricks for advanced f2l but they
9. 0:25don't talk about exactly what advanced
10. 0:27f2l means unfortunately i'm guilty of
11. 0:29this too but today i'm going to be
12. 0:30talking about exactly what advanced f2l
13. 0:32means so this one i'll talk about very
14. 0:34briefly but the first difference between
15. 0:35advanced f2l and beginner f2l is cube
16. 0:38rotations with beginner f2l once you
17. 0:40find your pieces and then you would pair
18. 0:42them up by using the slot here that they
19. 0:44go into so that you don't break up any
20. 0:46other slots you might have solved then
21. 0:48once you
22. 0:49pair them up like this you would insert
23. 0:50it into the front like that with
24. 0:52advanced f2l there are two differences
25. 0:54here one is that you can use any
26. 0:56unsolved slot in order to pair them up
27. 0:57so i don't need to set them up like this
28. 0:59i could set them up like this and
29. 1:02do that which breaks up this lot so this
30. 1:05only works if this slot was unsolved so
31. 1:07by keeping track of which slots you've
32. 1:08already solved you can avoid breaking up
33. 1:10any ones that you've already done
34. 1:12the next thing is once i pair these up
35. 1:15i can insert it into the back without
36. 1:16having to rotate like this so i don't
37. 1:18always need the slot at the front if it
38. 1:20requires a cube rotation i might as well
39. 1:22not q rotate and instead just insert it
40. 1:25into the back so these are some basic
41. 1:27differences but they're super important
42. 1:28if you want to reduce cube rotations and
43. 1:31reduce the amount of unnecessary moves
44. 1:32you do the next key difference between
45. 1:34beginner f2l and advanced f2l is the
46. 1:37process you use to pair up pieces with
47. 1:39beginner f2l there's an extra step in
48. 1:41the beginning so if you have a corner up
49. 1:43here and an edge in here or vice versa
50. 1:45if anything is in a slot then you have
51. 1:47to take it out first so i would take it
52. 1:49out like this
53. 1:50and then i would just continue and solve
54. 1:52this pair so then i'd follow this up by
55. 1:54pairing them up like this and then as a
56. 1:56third step i would then insert it so for
57. 1:58beginner f2l in the worst case which is
58. 2:00pretty common you'll have to do three
59. 2:02steps top layer pair them up and then
60. 2:05insert with advanced f12 you always keep
61. 2:07the step where you insert it because you
62. 2:08have to do that but you can join all the
63. 2:11previous steps together so how it would
64. 2:13work for this case specifically there
65. 2:14are often multiple ways to do it but one
66. 2:16way you could do this case specifically
67. 2:18is by putting the corner over here
68. 2:19before you take out the edge and if you
69. 2:22do that then that causes them to already
70. 2:24be paired together by the time the edge
71. 2:26comes out so you have to know which ways
72. 2:28you can take it out so that they pair up
73. 2:29together now before i go into the
74. 2:31details of how you should be doing that
75. 2:33it's not totally memorization there is
76. 2:34some logic to it but before i go into
77. 2:36that i'm going to talk about the other
78. 2:38difference the last difference between
79. 2:39beginner and advanced f2l so with
80. 2:41beginner f2l even if the pieces are both
81. 2:43on top if they're touching each other
82. 2:45like this then often you have to split
83. 2:47them up first so that is an extra step
84. 2:49splitting them up before you go into
85. 2:51however you normally pair them followed
86. 2:53by inserting
87. 2:55so with advanced f2l again you do one
88. 2:57thing instead of both of those steps so
89. 2:59i'll briefly go over all the cases where
90. 3:01they're touching and what to do because
91. 3:02there aren't that many of them and then
92. 3:03i'll get back to the other point i was
93. 3:05talking about so for this case you move
94. 3:07the corner over the edge and just do u
95. 3:09prime and then that sets them up for
96. 3:11this one what you do is you move the
97. 3:13corner up and then you do u2 and then
98. 3:16come back down and that results with
99. 3:17them already being paired together then
100. 3:19you just insert
101. 3:20for this case it is a really bad case
102. 3:22and it's a bit long but what you do is
103. 3:23put it over here insert the corner into
104. 3:25the slot like this move the edge over
105. 3:27and then take the corner back out and
106. 3:29then that makes them pair together
107. 3:32and lastly for this case what you do is
108. 3:34instead of hiding the corner this way
109. 3:36like that because that hides the edge
110. 3:37you just hide the corner this way
111. 3:38instead and then move the edge away
112. 3:41and then that pairs them up
113. 3:44now going back to the previous point of
114. 3:45when you take pieces out of a slot how
115. 3:47do you make sure that it comes out
116. 3:48paired with the other piece already so
117. 3:50there are a lot of cases to go through
118. 3:52here and i do have an advanced f2l pdf
119. 3:54which you can find in the description of
120. 3:56that video but the problem is if you
121. 3:57don't know why the cases work that way
122. 3:59and you don't have some sort of internal
123. 4:00logic for it then it just looks like a
124. 4:02list of algorithms and that's ridiculous
125. 4:04to learn so i'm going to go over the
126. 4:05logic of the cases here so starting off
127. 4:07if white is on top and you find the edge
128. 4:09here if you put the white sticker on top
129. 4:11and they match like this then this one's
130. 4:13a little bit obvious you can just take
131. 4:15it out because they're already kind of
132. 4:16paired up then you just insert it
133. 4:19now if you put the piece on top and it
134. 4:21does not match now keep in mind it
135. 4:22doesn't really matter where the edges it
136. 4:24could be anywhere but if it does not
137. 4:25match then there are two ways you can
138. 4:27pair it up and you can kind of think
139. 4:29about which one's easier to use
140. 4:30depending on the situation you're in so
141. 4:32first move the edge away from it so that
142. 4:34they're both still on the front and then
143. 4:35you can do one of two options just
144. 4:37depending on which one ends up working
145. 4:38out better one way is to insert the
146. 4:40corner here like that move the edge back
147. 4:43over here to the side and then do that
148. 4:44again
149. 4:46and then that pairs them up the other
150. 4:48option you have is doing what's called a
151. 4:49sledgehammer and if you don't know what
152. 4:51that is it's a short trigger that goes
153. 4:52like this r prime f
154. 4:54r f prime so make sure in either case
155. 4:57you use the hand that's holding the edge
156. 4:58here so i did everything right handed
157. 5:00but if i was facing this way so they
158. 5:02don't pair up and then i move the corner
159. 5:03this way then the edges on the left side
160. 5:05this time so i would do either of them
161. 5:07left-handed so either like this
162. 5:10to pair it up
163. 5:12or like this
164. 5:15now instead of the white corner stickers
165. 5:16on the side then again put it on top
166. 5:19here to see what the relationship is and
167. 5:20you'll either find that some stickers
168. 5:22match or no stickers will match so
169. 5:24starting with the case where the
170. 5:25stickers do match what you want to do is
171. 5:27like if you were facing this you turn
172. 5:29the sticker so you can still see it so
173. 5:31like not that way because it's gone but
174. 5:33like this way instead and then push the
175. 5:35edge behind the corner like this
176. 5:38and then that gets them to pair together
177. 5:40now if you had to push it the other way
178. 5:42instead there is a way to pair them up
179. 5:43as well and that is by pushing the edge
180. 5:46behind the corner as well except go a
181. 5:48little further
182. 5:50like that and then that also pairs them
183. 5:52up to insert
184. 5:53and lastly the case where if you put the
185. 5:55corner on top of the edge and the colors
186. 5:57here don't match then this is the last
187. 5:59case and there are again a few ways you
188. 6:02can do this one way is by putting the
189. 6:04corner over here behind it just like
190. 6:06same as before except you move the
191. 6:07corner the other way instead so onto
192. 6:09this spot
193. 6:10and then that pairs them up
194. 6:13and again if they don't match there's
195. 6:14one more way you can do it and that's
196. 6:16just by moving the corner instead of
197. 6:17just here you move it all the way over
198. 6:19there this also works and then do the
199. 6:21same thing just move the edge over here
200. 6:24and that pairs them together now what if
201. 6:25you have a corner in a slot and the edge
202. 6:27is on top so what we're going to do is
203. 6:28compare the front color of the corner
204. 6:30here with the top color of the edge now
205. 6:32if they match then what you do is you
206. 6:34want to face the white sticker and then
207. 6:35put the edge on the side so like on the
208. 6:37side that the corners on then take out
209. 6:39the corner while pushing it towards the
210. 6:41edge so take it out push it towards the
211. 6:43edge and come back down now if instead
212. 6:45the color on the corner does not match
213. 6:46the top here then you want to do it the
214. 6:48other way so instead of putting it over
215. 6:49here where you face white you put it
216. 6:51over here where you don't face white and
217. 6:53then this time you take out the corner
218. 6:55the other way so you move it up then
219. 6:56instead of moving towards the edge you
220. 6:58move away from the edge
221. 7:00and then now they're paired together
222. 7:02lastly if white faces the bottom here
223. 7:04then just find the side color of the
224. 7:06edge instead and match it to
225. 7:08the side color here so these two match
226. 7:11then what you do is move the edge away
227. 7:12from the corner and then bring the
228. 7:13corner up like this
229. 7:16and then now if they didn't match then
230. 7:17you would put it on the other side so
231. 7:18that they do match and then do the same
232. 7:20thing so move the edge away and then
233. 7:22move the corner up like this
234. 7:24one thing that i didn't talk about in
235. 7:26this video is finger tricks because that
236. 7:27doesn't really apply to what moves
237. 7:29you're doing is just kind of how you do
238. 7:30the moves and also i didn't want to load
239. 7:32this video up with too many things but
240. 7:33if you want to learn about advanced
241. 7:35finger tricks to make sure that you're
242. 7:36not taking up too much time turning then
243. 7:38you can watch this video that i'll link
244. 7:39up here so just a quick recap of what we
245. 7:41talked about when you find both pieces
246. 7:42and you have to pair them up you can use
247. 7:44any unsolved slot in order to pair them
248. 7:47up like that
249. 7:48and then you can insert them into front
250. 7:50or back depending on which one's more
251. 7:51convenient so instead of rotating you
252. 7:53can just insert this into the back like
253. 7:55that
254. 7:56next if the pieces are both on top and
255. 7:58touching in a way that you can't use
256. 7:59like your regular beginner f2l then you
257. 8:01should memorize exactly how to pair
258. 8:02those up really quickly there aren't
259. 8:04that many cases so memorization should
260. 8:05be fine and lastly if you have a piece
261. 8:07on top and a piece in a slot then make
262. 8:09sure that you can compare them in some
263. 8:11way that you know instantly how to pair
264. 8:13them up as you take it out let me know
265. 8:15if you have any questions thanks for
266. 8:16watching as always and i'll see you guys
267. 8:18next time
268. 8:34you
