How to Save 2 Rotations During F2L — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:00hey guys today we're talking about this
2. 0:01f2l case where the edge that goes with
3. 0:03it is back here and flipped how a lot of
4. 0:05people do this case is by rotating and
5. 0:07then pairing them up intuitively and
6. 0:09then rotating again and inserting today
7. 0:11i'll show you how to do this case from
8. 0:13any angle without a rotation the first
9. 0:15intuitive thing to understand about this
10. 0:17is that when we have this case if you
11. 0:19are to move the edge so that the corner
12. 0:22is then pointing at it like this then
13. 0:23you do have a setup case and then you
14. 0:25can insert and then afterwards you do
15. 0:27have to restore that cross head from
16. 0:28that one move in the beginning so for
17. 0:30some of the inserts we will be doing
18. 0:31that but you have to make sure you do
19. 0:32the finger tricks well because the
20. 0:34finger tricks for this are not very good
21. 0:35it's only faster if you know good finger
22. 0:37tricks for it at any time if you want to
23. 0:39go look at the finger tricks tutorial to
24. 0:40know what you should be able to do then
25. 0:42go check that out so starting off with
26. 0:43the corner here we just want the edge up
27. 0:45here so we're going to do b prime with a
28. 0:46re-grip first like that and then insert
29. 0:49and then reverse the b like that so of
30. 0:52course make sure you can do that reverse
31. 0:54b move otherwise there's really no good
32. 0:55way of doing the b move and faster would
33. 0:57be like this
34. 0:59now for this case again same moves but
35. 1:01different finger tricks so for this case
36. 1:02after you do this either set up and
37. 1:04we're going to insert like this and make
38. 1:05sure you don't do u here because that
39. 1:07requires a re-grip make sure you do u
40. 1:09with your left hand like this now here
41. 1:11we have to figure out a way to do f
42. 1:12prime and there are a few ways that the
43. 1:14ones that don't work is this it does
44. 1:16work but it's not going to be fast
45. 1:18because we've just finished doing a u
46. 1:19push here the other way we could do it
47. 1:21is like this although i don't personally
48. 1:23like it because after this you have to
49. 1:26find your finger in the right spot here
50. 1:27and there's no time to set it up it's
51. 1:29really easy to make a mistake here then
52. 1:30another way is f prime with your thumb
53. 1:32here this is pretty good and then
54. 1:33another way is f prime like this
55. 1:36and if that looks weird it's the same
56. 1:37thing as this one-handed turn and faster
57. 1:39it would look like this
58. 1:42now from this angle um here later i'm
59. 1:44going to suggest a different way of
60. 1:45doing this but for now i'm just going to
61. 1:46follow the same rules we're using and
62. 1:48that is by setting up with f prime first
63. 1:50now we don't want to do f prime with our
64. 1:51right thumb because then it's not really
65. 1:54a good position to be doing you
66. 1:55afterwards considering where your thumb
67. 1:57and where your index finger are in order
68. 1:58to do that move so if you put your left
69. 2:00pinky underneath the s slice then you
70. 2:01can use your index finger here or you
71. 2:03can use your left thumb like this and
72. 2:05then very straightforward just insert
73. 2:07these and then afterwards either left
74. 2:09thumb to finish or preferably if you're
75. 2:11right-handed and prefer not to use that
76. 2:13move then you can use your right hand
77. 2:15make sure your pinky is underneath the s
78. 2:16slice and do the same thing there and
79. 2:18then that will look like this
80. 2:21now from the final angle from right here
81. 2:23we're going to do this to set them up
82. 2:25and then now we need a b move and again
83. 2:27it's not a very nice spot to be doing a
84. 2:29b move uh so we're not going to regrip
85. 2:30and do b like that we're just going to
86. 2:32use our left hand and push back right
87. 2:34here or push right here but pushing back
88. 2:36right here is probably going to be
89. 2:37easier
90. 2:38and then afterwards just u
91. 2:40b prime
92. 2:42l
93. 2:42so again faster would be like this
94. 2:46so now when the corners oriented the
95. 2:47other way i'll quickly run through the
96. 2:48finger tricks for these they're exactly
97. 2:50the same but with the other hand so
98. 2:51starting with the first case like this
99. 2:52again
100. 2:55and then from this angle
101. 2:58make sure you do this reverse push
102. 3:01and then from this angle
103. 3:05make sure your pinkies are underneath
104. 3:06the s slice when you do those f moves
105. 3:08and then from this angle
106. 3:12so remember there are eight cases and
107. 3:14i'll be showing alternatives for just a
108. 3:15few of them so firstly for this one
109. 3:17where it's the regrip into b moves and
110. 3:19this one if you have it uh so that
111. 3:20you're doing a lefty regrip then a lot
112. 3:22of people don't like that so one thing
113. 3:24you could do which you may be able to
114. 3:25figure out intuitively from my other
115. 3:27video on a very similar cases is you can
116. 3:29do this and that does set them up here
117. 3:31then you can just insert but i don't
118. 3:34find that to be reliable switching hands
119. 3:35and doing wide moves so a good
120. 3:36alternative you have that is right hand
121. 3:38dominant is if you do f first either
122. 3:40like this or with the pinky thing and
123. 3:43then move this corner on top bring this
124. 3:45pair over and that has to be done
125. 3:47without a re-grip like this and then
126. 3:50yeah so this algorithm done faster
127. 3:54so next i'll be showing an alternative
128. 3:55for this case and its mirror and the
129. 3:57reason is because when you have to do
130. 3:59these f moves which are a little bit
131. 4:01unreliable if you're not good at them
132. 4:02like me i think if you're good at them
133. 4:04it's probably fine but having to use
134. 4:06both of them in the same algorithm i
135. 4:07think is a little unreliable so what i
136. 4:09like to do for this case and its mirror
137. 4:10is if you're right-handed you probably
138. 4:12should know how to do this finger trick
139. 4:14then you have them set up as well and
140. 4:16you can end with your thumb going the
141. 4:17other way because your dominant hand
142. 4:19thumb should be able to do both of these
143. 4:21moves so the alternative trick for this
144. 4:23case faster
145. 4:23[Applause]
146. 4:25so next for the mirror case if your
147. 4:28other hand is not really capable of
148. 4:30doing that like because i'm dominant
149. 4:32lefty so i can do it then what you can
150. 4:33do is you can still avoid all these
151. 4:35moves by doing a sledgehammer with your
152. 4:37right hand to take this edge out over to
153. 4:38here so it's kind of the same thing as
154. 4:40accomplishing f prime except it
155. 4:42preserves the cross edge so sledgehammer
156. 4:44like this
157. 4:45and then that sets it up
158. 4:47and the alternative trick for this case
159. 4:49faster
160. 4:50so that about covers it and now you have
161. 4:52no excuse for doing this f2l case in two
162. 4:55rotations that feels really bad now so
163. 4:57if for some reason you're watching this
164. 4:59and you haven't learned f2l or advanced
165. 5:00f2l then check those out on the end
166. 5:02screen also remember to learn the good
167. 5:04finger tricks for these otherwise these
168. 5:05are not worth using and you might as
169. 5:07well do two rotations or just either way
170. 5:08is bad and learn the finger tricks
171. 5:10because the earlier you learn them the
172. 5:12better it will be later on thanks for
173. 5:13watching and i'll see you guys next time
