A lot of people came for the mustache, I came for the eyebrows.
@@argemirotorrico4531 Well, that’s a no-brainer.
Just letting you know that you can also use f R' f' as an insert. One application of it is f R' f' U' R' U' R which solves one of the EO cases with the flipped edge in slot
yes, I need to start doing this as well. There are some really cool ways to set up into that insert
dammit that was going to my comment!
oh holy crap! how did I not know about this??
bruh i do the R' U' M U R U' R' U' r alg for the same case and i find mysefl preatty comfortable doing it so idk
1:00 I saw that f2l trick on one of feliks zemdegs solve reconstruction video and I have also started using it after that and my times have gotten better.
Thanks friend for your tricks, it helped me a lot, cheers from Colombia
I think I have a better finger trick and I have been using this for quite some time: you can stay in home grip and use index pinch for f and use the third finger to complete f' while regripping your hand. Probably this will help.
definitely gonna start using this! i am trying to get a consistent good f2l - and this will really help! Thanks Brody! :)
You better watch out Brody, Cubehead might pass you in subs. Tbh I wouldn't be too surprised. I still am a huge fan of you! You have helped me a lot at getting better at 3x3. I am now averaging 23-24 seconds. Thank you so much for all of your hard work!
omg!!!!!!!!!! I swear, just a week ago I figured this trick out by myself and then saw Feliks' solves and now you also showed this trick.
Your vid's r always helpful and help me improve my times. Thx a lot Brody
Woah i just covered this in my recent f2l inserts video!!! Nice Brody
You can do f R S' to set up for a nice F 2-gen F' last slot case for FL, if you are comfortable doing so
Dang that's nice! I may need to work on it and try to implement it
4:11 y M' U R M U' R'
Man I’ve been using this type of rotationless insertion the past year or so I’m so glad it’s getting recognized
for the first pair you could do (U) sledge f R f which you can cancel to R' F R S R f' (assuming FR is open) for 2:30 you could (and always should) just do the f from homegrip after the R U2 R'
Epic video Awesome editing!! Keep it up 😉
4:21 I like this f2l trick 👍🏼👍🏼😉😉
This is revolutionary to me, thanks for the upload!
Video should be titled " Brian pls"
Lmao Brian is appearing so much in other channels recently but he’s such a small channel haha
I clicked for the moustache...where is the moustache?? anyways nice tips Brody!
My man Brody for moustache
that's exactly what i neeeeeed thxxxxx
Another variation you can do is f R2 f', it's really niche and kinda risky, but personally I've been able to execute it without much trouble. I mostly use it for first pair, like if there is a free pair right in front of you but goes into BR slot. There might be a use for it in between solutions, but I haven't really played with that.
1:30 "Obviously you start off by doing that..." I've been using "U (sledgehammer) (insert)" from J Perm's advanced F2L pdf this whole time.
Great video man
I knew this f R f' insert for a while now, but these new applications are really interesting! Thanks for the interesting situations, Brody! Something I did realize after just playing around with stuff after the video was if you wanted to skip OLL with an R U2 R' insert, you could just do f R2 f'. That is essentially what you said about solving EO using this, but this is a more specific case that applies to a "forced" OLL skip. I average like 15 seconds though, so I'm not sure if this is good or not. (I literally found this like 2 minutes ago). I think the fingertricks are fine if you regrip, but of course, that isn't optimal. Somebody already mentioned starting in home grip, using your right finger for the f, then roll the R, then use your left finger for the f'. You could apply the same thing to what I'm saying here, but rolling R2, then f' does seem a little bit weird to me, but that might just be because I'm bad at cubing.
Really cool way to insert in the back right. The only thing I concern about is whether the look ahead will be affected by this kind of insertion. I think I will use this alg for sure for my last pair
That was helpful thank you
Brody F2Ls are out of this world, because of which I was gonna sleep after studying,.. but I am watching this...
This year I will get sub-20 on 3x3 and I will use your tips to achieve that!
Me to
I'm hoping I'll become sub 20 this year too! My current PB is 27.54
My PB in december 2019 was 28,83 and now it’s 12,97 ! Don’t give up guys 🤜🤛
@@ThePowerOfZZ My pb is 21.03 and ao100 is around 32 seconds. I don't even know full pll yet, so I have many things to learn that'll make me faster :)
@@KeisariCubes I need to learn so much me too 😋 my objective is sub 10 this year ! I receive my first 4x4 tomorrow 😌
2:26 You should try starting in home grip and regrip while doing the lefty U2 to eliminate that pause😊.
That' really cool! Feliks used it in an old sub4 solve
I think his mustache gave Brody that f2l trick
I actually did this . Without looking it up. I was just trying roux method the found out this trick! And i started to do it on cfop
you can also apply a similar trick to a ready pair that needs to solve into the backright, do f R’ f’
It can cancel into the start of some OLLs when used on the last F2L pair
I like the intro to your video. I always love a good, short intro. Nice!
OMG CRAZY TRICK!! I'M LOOKING FOR THIS F2L TRICK FOR SO LONG!!
2:45- for this exact case from this angle you can also use R' U' R d' R U R'
For R U2' R' f R f', I start in home grip and regrip to thumb on front during U2'. I think it flows just as well
Nvm I should watch the entire video before commenting xD
@@charlesdaloz2547 pls
@@SerialGaming I edited with the fingerticks smh
I love how I've already been using dis for a year now
I started using this trick a month ago. I actually saw it in a J perm F2l video
I don’t use wide move inserts anymore since it makes look ahead harder
Isn't that what he was explaining in the entire video, bruh.....
Nobody: Literally nobody: Nobody in the entire history of the universe: Not even Feliks valk: Brody: thumbnail is the new funny
yes Feliks Valk
Brian - brody pls Brody - here you go
Came for the tips, stayed for the mustache.
You don't invent a trick, you discover it
The best thumbnail ever!!!
🔥🔥 super bro
Awesome I knew this. GG
That's a pretty cool trick
brain sun right now : alright time to roast his algs
🧠 ☀️
If he roasts me I will be sad ☹☹
advanced advanced f2l.
i hate to say it but I smell a Brody pls video coming
Thanks sir...
Thanks so much I hate that one f2l case, it’s the worst in my humble opinion
I average 15 seconds and I use this a lot still, but something I thought of a couple weeks ago was using it to cansle other rotations. What I mean is that if you use this to insert a pair but have to rotate after for another pair, then don’t do it. But if you rotate for inserting then rotate again for another pair, then use this trick. I wish I could do this, but my look ahead is basically nonexistent.
I also discovered it and started to use
You can also insert a connected pair like this using f R’ f’
I told many of these in my critque videos :D
Brody PLEASE MAKE A PLL TUTORIAL!!!!! When I saw your 2-look OLL tutorial I learned it and I REALLY liked how you explained it. I really hope you see this comment.
WowNice Brody
OMFG IVE KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR AGES
idky some youcubers (cubehead, brody) have talked about this, an independent of them I started doing the same thing as a coincidence lol
You can also use it when you have a R U' R' or L' U L insert into either of the backslots the back!!
No way. I was going to make a video about this alg......
please make tutorial on PLL for beginners, I have learned CFO from your videos, you made them easy to learn, please make one one PLL too
No way... I used this same trick to avoid cube rotating I also figured it on my own I got this idea from Jay's video " The new 3 move insert" I have been using this trick for nearly 3 months and I progressed from 16-17 avg of 5 to 14-15. But I don't know why this trick feels inefficient (at least for me)
I used this trick for a time but don’t like it since it severely hinders lookahead by moving the entire top layer away. By cube rotating you can also see what pieces are in the back slot adjacent to the one inserting into.
You don't need to regrip f R f', just start in home grip, do f with right finger, roll R and f' with left index Also at 2:45 you can do R' F R' F' R U' R
Idk if thats better though because I cant do it nearly as fast as regriping and doing the regular one just because the Fw is so inconsistent when your trying to rip
@@HogRider2 it's better
@@StepanMakarenko see feliks zemdegs 3.33 and 3.41 on his channel
Is that alg from Brian’s channel?
@@neilprabhu629 this was known for years
Did you get the idea from Feliks's 3.41 single? I started using this trick a few months ago and actually found it a lot more useful than I thought!
Getting closer and closer to 69K subs!
I kinda use this trick right in the beginning of my Gd-Perm: cubedb.net/?rank=3&alg=y-_f_R_f-_R2_u-_R_U-_R-_U_R-_u_R2&stage=pll&type=alg It is a standard alg but the wide turns avoid the cube rotation.
Hey brody can you me tell how much practice should we do and i want a fix hour of time not "as much as possible" pls reply me
tis a pog
You look really funny with the moustache
It's funny that as bad as I am, I accidentally discovered this long ago. I've been using it not knowing if it was really good, it just seemed to work for me. I'm going to see what else I can do with it.
oooo neato :0
you could use your thumb instead of your index finger, depending on how you're holding it
don't do this though, it isn't good
Brody thx Mustache pls.... tell Brody to „set you free“
1:46 S R S' R' U2 R Starts in homegrip 2:35 U R' U R B' R B R' Starts and ends in homegrip, regripless 3:04 R U' R' S R S' S Starts in homegrip, regripless, S moves are easier than f imo
If I'm in home grip, I find it easier to execute S R S' rather f R f' -- but that requires the front-right slot be empty. When I do f R f' , I have to regrip to use my thumb (and middle finger) to hold the B layer in order to stable my cube. Anyone has this kind of issue and what could be the tip to resolve it please?
I swear I figured this out a few days ago
I started f2l 🤩
WOAH
Lmao I've been doing this since I was averaging like 15 seconds
Same
I also 😉
Same
Yeah sick mate no one cares. Should have made a video on it then.
@@saltlauren9888 what’s the point in making a video on it?
OMG I have been using this trick for AgEs
Uncle Brody
This was already figured out from thousands of cubers and I was one of them, but very good, I am not going against you! EDIT : You can do reverse the alg f R' f' to insert in the back right instead of y R U' R'.
Ad: skip this video if you don’t want a high paying jo- Me: nah this is more important
nice
i see mustache i click then i got an f2l trick. but that’s cool too
I also discovered this trick just today lol
I recently tried to do this stuff and got I realise I m faster with this but after some time I found out that it makes my lookahead worse so I stopped doing it
Thats my trick!
This is a trick I’ve also started using
sometimes i setup cases the same way but to the r' U' R U M' alg
I've been using this trick since I started cubbing.
this is already very known in the cubing community, but i guess its helpful to spread the word?
