Finally someone who can speak clear and actually explain their algorithms in full details

Yes it's true
Aaaaaathooooo
Lmao
But cubastic is the best
This is the best third layer tutorial on KZhead. Not only does he offer a clear and structured explanation, he is also extremely pleasant to listen to.

I know I'm four years late to the party, but this was honestly the best tutorial I've ever seen. I always knew how to solve up to the yellow cross but I got fed up trying to solve for the rest of the cube. After over 5 years I decided to try again and found this video, and today I solved it!! Now I gotta memorise it :D Thank you so much 🤩🤩
ya think
Same lol
He is the reason why i beacame an rubix cube champion at my school he change my life
I need to memerise it
@@Ykzxmbs It gets easy once you do it a couple times. I wrote the algorithms out but now I remember them. I'm sure you'll do the same :D
Why Is there 1.2k dislikes☹️. This video is the only video Ive seen that made sense on how to solve the top layer. For those who disliked hate to break it to you but this may be the only video that gives you full repeated steps to help you understand the algorithms for the final layer. I watch this video countless times and this helps me a lot, if you rewind it you can also pause the video and it makes it easier to see the algorithm written on the screen😁!!I Good job on making this video👍!STAY SAFE AND GOD BLESS YOU. HAVE A GREAT DAY!!
the video is well done. i watched all of it and hit like, but i don't think this is the easier way to solve the last layer. i assume that's where the dislikes come from. if you're keeping the yellow face on top, the moves you execute are reversed from what you already used on the rest of the cube. it takes fewer moves, but i'm looking for the easy way, not the fast way. how i learned from other videos, you have to do a lot more moves on the last layer, but the brain goes in full auto mode and you complete it faster, without much thinking.
@Khaliyah Martin 🙂happy to help

Thank you so much! After all of these years, I finally found some instructions that stick with me! You're the best!
You explain it so nicely… how it isn’t this easy in other vids? Thank you! ❤
Thanks to this, I can now solve the full cube without any tutorials! Thank you!
I watched it like 50 other KZhead tutorials and this was the one that helped me out to solve my first cube
Congrats with solving the first cube, I think you had a proud feeling of yourself solving it.
This is also the only tutorial that helped me solve my first

I’m in my 40’s and I finally have solved it. I can knock this off my bucket list. I can do the other 2 layers pretty easily. The top layer had me stuck for a while. Now I just got to practice it a few times.

Yes 👍

Best training video of them all. Despite the fact you are obviously a cube master, you somehow remembered exactly what it was like when starting out, and made a video to explain the moves perfectly, and didn’t manage to lose anyone along the way - because you clearly stated all the possible pitfalls/challenges and how to deal with them. Hats off to you. I got my first ever solve following this. Thank you.
I have watched a few different tutorials after losing the patterns over the years and this is the best one! super simple breakdowns and explanations of why each step is important. finished it with ease over and over again!
I was trying for a month to get the third layer. This helped SOOOO much. THANK YOU!
This is THE only video correct made for beginners. Thumbs Up!
Thanks so much!! 😊

For anyone that is struggling with the last part this is the perfect video, great explanation, easy to follow and overall amazing video
I was 2 yellow pieces away from solving cube and i twisted it twice and solved it
I was stuck solving the last layer for a day. But was finally able to solve it through your video..Thanks
I LOVE how you layed out ALL the options with different cubes!
Ok?
No one like this comment anymore :)
If this surprises you then take a look at cubastic's cube solving tutorials
No he didnt go through my case. At step 3 for some reason my yellow side was already solved. He never said anything abiut THAT did he????

ya that s true
Thanks for going at pace I could follow with clear instructions. Other videos I’d seen forget that when learning we don’t spin the cube as quickly as experienced cubes do. You makes the moves at a speed I can follow without having to slow the KZhead video playback :-) finally i understand how to solve that last step others made seem soooo complex. Thank you
It helped me a lot 😊😊😊😊
THIS.. THIS IS THE ONE. IVE WATCHED AT LEAST 8 DIFFERENT VIDEOS 10 DIFFERENT TIMES AND IT NEVER MADE SENSE . THANK YOU MAN

Out of all the tutorials I have seen, he doesn't spend an hour explaining algorithms and that crap, he gets straight to the point. He deserves a sub.
Just solved my first Rubik's cube ever in life. I'm in tears. 😭 All because of this guy! You are genius indeed! Thaaaanks a lot. Best beginners tutorial for Rubik's cube ever 👍
Why are you cry

yes,yes me too!!
Hey, I am from India and I learned it in 5 to 6 hours. I found this tutorial the best rubix cube tutorial on youtube. You are the best. I was able to understand you more than Indian tutors who taught in Hindi. I know and love English but it is difficult for Indians to understand a foreigner speaking English because of their tone but you were super duper amazing and I loved the 'algorithm' very thanks to you. I am a 12 yr old and now I could be proudly be able to tell my friends that I can solve a rubix cube. Now I will use 4×4,5×5,6×6----------15×15 and I want to make it a remarkable hobby which I could do. Lot of love ❤ to you from 🇮🇳 INDIA 🇮🇳 ❤
My dad got a cube for Christmas 1980. Just got one myself for Christmas, and after 43 years I finally solved it, thanks to you!
Best last layer video out of all, explained with no rush and had different situations which helped in some cases 👍
THANK YOU!! I learned how to do this when I was 10, and haven’t been able to remember for more than 40 years…this is the first video I’ve found that explains it how I remember learning. No “algorithm” this, “algorithm” that, the way you describe the moves and what’s going on is spot on - I don’t want to learn a set of moves (that let me down if my cube looks different) - I want to learn moves that I can understand, see what’s going on, so I can solve scenarios on my own. THANK YOU so much!!!!
Literally the only series of videos that I have not gotten lost on!! Took me less time watching the videos and following along than it took me following other videos with starting over about 15 times because I couldn’t keep up. Awesome job!!
Thank you so much!!! This is by far the greatest last-layer tutorial I have found!
Thanks! i finally did the final layer after many months! May or may not have seen my last comment on your middle layer video but i have bad memory especially with these many steps, BUT. I had to memorize the middle layer video and i did! so all i needa do is practice on memorizing this video and i can fully know how to solve a rubiks cube! once again thanks! :)
😭😭😭 Me crying after solving my first ever Rubik's cube my entire life just by watching your 3 steps videos. 😇 I'm now proud of myself bro... You're marvelous!! Thank you.. I can't pay you back but my subscribing I guess is worth helping. I call u my Rubik's legend!! ❤😍😍😭
Thank you - and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Best tutorial in youtube to learn how to solve a Rubik's cube. Never imagined I could solve it. Credit goes to you, for making the tutorial understandable to everyone. To make it easy for everyone to understand, I could imagine the amount of hardwork and effort you would have put in. Great work man. Thanks a lot. You deserve more likes and subscribers. I hope you will come up with tutorials on how to solve quicker.

You sir were the final piece for me solving the cube for the first time. I will never forget you.😁😁

Honestly the best tutorial out there. Literally every other tutorial over complicated this. You did an amazing job!
I had never worked a cube in my life until last night (with these third layer instructions). I did it again today on another cube. This is THE best third level instruction video on KZhead, Bar None!
This is the absolute best tutorial. I could 2 layers and could not find a good tutorial for the 3rd. Your are awesome. Thanks!!!
This is the right way how to teach beginners. Than you very much.

This is the best third layer tutorial on KZhead EVERRRRR 💕Thank you!
Simple, no fast pro moves, no changing the camera angle half way through, no jargon, no patronizing us either. Perfect video, 10/10 😀👍
Thanks so much!
Agreed 🤝 perfect video ❤️
Thx man, u really helped me out, others were too confusing and long, ur method is simple and quick, thx man

This happened to me also
I can't thank you enough for making this video. I solved it without looking at the video today. God bless you
Thank you! I've finally been able do to the last layer consistently! 🎉
Im a cuber, around sub 20 doing full advanced CFOP. I believe for beginners your videos are the most well thought out and detailed, yet simplistic enough to not confuse a beginner tutorials could be.
I kinda believe some parts could've been done in much less moves but again this is a beginner tutorial so it's alright
Me too! I'm a cuber who is Sub 20 and uses an RS3M2020! I learnt to solve the cube from Zman! He explains it so good imo!

awesome simple no complications way to solve the last layer. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
Thank you for the video, not looking for competitive, but just consistently solving and had a really hard time with 3rd layers due to the guide I've used (some pop video) being overcomplicated at this point. Your approach helped me see a less complicated easier to remember way that now allows me to solve a cube in around 2-3 minutes and finally putting it together consistently at every step.
I finished my first cube because of you thank you so much you’re the only tutorial that got me there 🥺
Iol
Same! I too solved my cube not by using any app because of him.
i knew how to solve a cube but i had to twist corners for the last yellow corners so it did help alot
SAME lol
Me too
omg thankyou so much for this! I haven't ma touched this cube since it first came out years ago and only ever got the first layer and the centers done. I met a young boy recently and he was carrying his cube around and finished it in 40 seconds. he told me it was easy once you know the move sequences. Soooooo i bought a GAN cube from amazon and found your video yesterday and in less than one day I completed 2nd and 3rd layers. I have 2nd layer memorized and today I will memorize the sequences for the 3rd! this is super cool and thank you for sharing your knowledge in such an easy to understand video.
This guy is amazing. I’ve looked at so many tutorials was the only guy that was helpful. Solved my first Rubiks cube because of him. Top G energy 🎊 🎉

Literally been looking for like an HOUR to find a video which actually explains this well, thank you 😂😭
Man you made my day. I have to say that I messed up the top layer 2 times but I solved it in the end. You're the only one whose words I could understand and follow. Like why does everyone else make it seem soo hard. Keep up the hard and good work and good luck. May God bless you.

Most video tutorials seem to forget that the people solving cubes for the first time do not know the algorithms off by heart and most will not remember them for their first few solves, This is one of the only videos I've seen where the creator actually remembers what it's like to solve a cube for the first time, The last layer is where I got stuck after using the wiki and multiple other videos, This was the video that really got me to get my first solve and then many after that. Thank you so much for making this video!

Ok thi definitely the best rubix video/channel on KZhead! I finally finished my rubix cube after other fake, frustrating algorithms
I finally kept getting the first 2/3rds of the cube solved with ease, but the last layer always kept getting messed up when I'd follow other tutorials' instructions. As a beginner to the cube, the "algorithms" that numerous videos show in their solutions just end up being mostly confusing. This was more helpful on the final layer... Thanks for the step-by-step process without the algorithms!
I am 29 years old and for the first time in my life, I was able to solve a Rubik's cube. I am beyond happy! Thank you @Zman872 for explaining the process in plain English and not with all the prime, R, U, X, Y stuff
I have been trying to solve the cube for over a year now and I had only ever solved up until the final layer. I decided to try to watch a video on how to get the final layer and I'm so happy because I solved it for the first time, and I spent over a year trying to solve it and all I needed was 13 mins lol Thanks for the video. Very helpful
yooo thx man ur a legend i finally managed to solve my cube consistently now. in other videos i took very long to understand them and did not know what moves i should do next. your understanding is clear and gives alot of senarios of the cube algorhythoms. thx alot

I was trying to fix the cube on my own over the course of weeks and months without tutorials, watched a couple videos one time but they didn't really help much and I went back to the grind of working on it for twenty minutes or so almost every day and finally got the second layer done but that last layer is so difficult to figure out so this helped me a lot and now the cube is fixed.
