Don't Make These Cubing Mistakes: 10 Things I Wish I Knew
When trying to improve at cubing, I found and fixed so many problems by myself. I wish I knew earlier that I was making these mistakes, and how to fix them. Hope this helps all you aspiring cubers!

When drilling Algs, look at the cube at the same time instead of just having the muscle memory, that way you can be more confident in recognising where you are at in the alg if you mess up or slow down. It also helps to learn it faster
Yes! I've definitely practiced algs without looking, and then realized I can't do them when looking at the cube haha
@@JPerm hey your best f2l link doesn’t work. I tried to get in several times. Please do something.
This helps a lot
@@JPerm like the blindfolded algs
@@vgtcross I tried to do it even before you said it but for some reason i can't get in.
Hey jperm, I started cubing last year at 40 years of age and am just loving it, yeh at times I get the looks (you are too old for this) but I ignore all of that and just luv it ...thank you for your videos
I learned 3x3 blindfolded from your videos few days ago and today i got my first successful solve with 24 min :)
CONGRATS!!! that's about the same as my first solve time ☺️
24 minutes? That's insane, how can you remember all that information so long after?
@@DeJay7 did you watch his tutorial?
Me too
@@DeJay7 Most of These 24 Minutes are used for memorozing everything :D
Thank you SO, SO much for including that final tip. It is SO true of ANY hobby. I've seen SO many of my friends approach things claiming they're trying to be the 'best' but their actual practices would be better suited for being a casual but skilled hobbiest.
2 years back, i learned how to solve the cube for the first time with your video about the beginners method. Now 2 years in, parcticing almost all the wca events time to time, I'm averaging about 16 seconds on 3x3. And this videos help me find motivation as much as they do help with my cubing. Thank you so much! I hope i can reach sub-10 average someday.
Awesome sause
I hope you all the best, I am also learning the CFOP method and I average 44 seconds
@@parthkulshrestha5101 Good luck! When i was starting cfop, honestly it looked imposable even to get to sub-30. But now I'm well aware if you're willing to practice enought, you'll eventually reach every goal you set. So I'll be doing that. But most importantly, have fun!
@Yusuf Ay Yes I agree if you are dedicated you can achieve any goal you want and also thanks for the motivation 😊
That's weird we are like the exact same lol
Hey J Perm , I love your all videos , I was learning Full PLL you helped me with most of my PLLs so thank you.
I average 17 seconds and I thought this video would be useless(For me)but Dylan here was talking about pretty good points and I learned a few things
I'm in the exact same situation as you, this video ended up being particularly useful for intermediate/semi-advanced solvers at around 15-20s and probably even lower. I realised I am regripping each pair, and that I could probably do my cross faster, I might still be doing double-recognition during F2L. Averaging 16-17s I knew some stuff as well, like I know 2-sided PLL recognition for example, still very helpful.
@@goldeer7129 same man
hi j perm thank you for everything you have taught me so much you have an amazing community you have encourged me so much you put so much effort in your videos you are amazing you created my cubing journey from biggner to to doing cross f2l oll pll you are very inspiring i remember i used to binge watch all of your vids good luck to whatever you pursue in the future even when you are sad remember you have such a big community :)
Hi J perm, you are so close to 1m! What a milestone, I have been with you ever since 100k subs, your videos are great,good luck on 1m!
My biggest beginner mistake was not seeing if there is some other way to solve second layer other than beginners method... because F2L was actually easier for me to adapt to, I was making too many mistakes on second layer, but with F2L, it took a bit of getting used to but so much more intuitive for the way I view the cube in my mind...
Dude same
Bro do u have any tips for me, I try to do f2l but I cant do it too fast and realized that I can do the 2nd layer faster with beginners method than F2L so what do u suggest??
@@awesome_thingsX keep on practicing man. See how the pieces move so you'll get a better idea of what you're doing. Then check out JPerm's vid about advanced f2l. He's provided algs for all the f2l cases.
@@ShoneSebastian Ok thanks man, So basically what ur saying is that I shud practise f2l and eventually I'll be better right?
@@awesome_thingsX i wouldn't say i do f2l faster necessarily, i am just really bad at beginners method, but main tips are in Jperms f2l videos so I would suggest just watching it... Recognizing F2L cases is the hardest part which slows me down the most, so I am learning to do that right now...
Hello J Perm, I am almost sub 30. I am trying to learn full Pll. But your videos have helped me a lot. Thank you.
same here, i just need to learn the 4 G perms that are haunting me lol
Glad to hear that! Good luck on the PLLs :)
@@shabnamshekhaji5540 Bro I thought the same but they are pretty simple if you see what you are doing to the cube for me they are my fastest perms ofc after J perms ; )
@@JPerm Thank you J Perm.
I've finished PLLs a few weeks ago, now my average is 25 and my best 21 and, trust me, OLLs are waaaay easier to learn
Thanks jperm, all of your f2l tutorial made my average from 1 mintue 10 to 19 seconds but i always do a bunch of cube rotations in f2l
I just broke 1 min for the first time and was very pleased, although I just got lucky in the last stage. Your videos are a great help and very informative. Thank you.
Thank you J man ,very helpful and I will watch many times
Dylan, your videos are amazing, you have helped me so much during my cubing journey, and I always find where to improve thanks to your videos. Keep up the good work, and I hope you reach 1M soon :)
Hello Dylan, I was thinking about getting back into cubing, but I was always shutting down that idea, because I wanted to improve but I hit a standstill at around 30 sec. This video helped a lot, and congrats on nearly 1 mill subs!! Edit: now one mill subs
wow this is helpful thank you jperm!
Hi J perm, learning the tricks in this video has helped me get a new PB and I am almost at sub 14 for and avarage! Thank You so much for the tips!
Soooo close to 1m, although I think you deserve 10m! Love you vids man, you’ve thought me so much!
thank you for the f2l advice! i managed to drop my 3x3 avg from 50 down to 40 with just the advice alone :)
Almost a million subs! back to cubing after such a loooooong break, but still followed your videos just so I could remind myself that I have a cube laying around which might as well get solved lol
Really great video! Love the reality check of types of cubers!
Tip no. 11 really got me thinking to subscribing and i must say i love all your vids!! keep it up!
oh so this is the reason im stuck at 13s solves, thank you! im trying to improve but I can't actually, i haven't thought about what you said, im going to try new things, try to improve my F2L and so on, have a nice day!
Just wanted to say I bought the jperm cube because I wanted to support your channel. You got me into cubing and i wanted to thank you.
This is your best video hands down. Many thanks!
After all this time, J Perm still manages to bust out helpful videos! Even for more advanced speedcubers 💯
Ayyyy letsss go Jperm ur nearly reaching 1 million subs, good job man, keep up the good work
Love your videos keep up your good work and good luck for a mil subs
You always come with great content. I love your video. It is knowledgeable too
I’ve just tried the 4th tip and it made an EXTREME difference on my cubing. Thanks J Perm👍
10 hours of practice for every J-Perm video you watch
I have to say the last tip helped me the most. I am The Cuber guy and with this category in mind I don't get frustrated when I do a terrible solve or don't learn full OLL and just keep having fun. This helped me to keep cubing as my hobby and still having fun to learn time to time new Algs and see to improve, sometimes it's really nice. Thank you for your videos, it helped me a lot to improve at cubing.
i started cubing around 1 year ago and have practiced alternating between completely obsessed a few weeks, then completing forgetting its existence and i this method makes me enjoy it a lot. every time i go back to it i see a lot o progress, mostly because i start a bit rusty. most of my free time when im watching movies or. yt videos, i use the cube as a fidget toy, and this is probably the main reason i keep it around and love it so much. hope you all also have a relation with your cube as good as mine. my average is around 26 s
Thx a lot Jperm its really helpful
First Jperm vid. Am definitely staying around for more
this really helped my f2l i used to double cube rotate to get to the back keep practising
Wow that was satisfying watching you srcamble the cube at the first part its so fast truning
Amazing video it helps cubers so much
Not once in my 10+ purchases on scs have I not used the code jperm. Keep up the extremely helpful vids
Thanks jperm I need this!
J perm thank you for working so hard I've improved a lot first my average was 40 sec and now average is about 19-30 sec
Hey J perm. Thank you for all these videos, I'm trying to be sub-30 to be on my school news and beat the school rubiks solve record of 30 seconds. Your videos have helped me from not being to solve a cube a month ago to solving average 50-40 seconds Edit: been two weeks and I average 35-28 seconds
This kid in my school solved it in 13 secs (me,my pb was set in school)
Urs is 30 best, my school best time is 9.87 by my friend Elijah
Oh my on is 25 my best average is like 28
And in 3rd grade there are not a lot of cubers so… I might have the record
I always love when I come onto KZhead and see that jperm, my absolute FAVORITE youtuber uploaded a new video
This really reminded me of my weaknesses like double recognition really helped thanks j perm
Your scrambling style is really good
Champion in two events! Great job Tommy! Well deserved
Great advice! Just trying out different algs and discovered the V perm starting x’ it feels so comfortable and I have logged it to memory instantly 😁
congratulations for 1m subs jperm!
Great video. I’m just learning the beginners method, but was curious to see how the experts solve the cube.
Good video nice jperm your videos are one of the best
i've learn so much in this video thx Jperm
When ever I get demotivated or get fed up cubing I watch your videos bro . Love you.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😌😌😌
Truly helpful tips👍
love it always dylan !!
Wow it was really helpful ❤
Thanks this actually helped me
Thx a lot! Love your channel.
yesterday i finally got a new record! (12:84 seconds) (but the scramble was so easy, 3 cross pieces were already in the correct spot)
Cool, I got lucky with a pll skip once so my best is 9.45
How is both ur and my pb same
My pb is 24.95
I like how these tutorials are helpful for someone at any skill level, and even when you do know everything he's talking about it's nice to have that refresher to remind you
The biggest Problem that I have is the weird Type of Progress. Im currently averaging 17 Seconds. Recently I was at 18-19 secs, Then I learned full OLL and some advanced f2l algs and I got slower, Made Many mistakes and even after ~2000 solves I still don't have everything I learned in my ultraproductive 2 Weeks completely in My muscle memory, and I still Need to practice so much. I Just don't have the Motivation to learn Something, If I know that IT will only pay Off after Weeks of practicing, and will actually slow me down before that.
I feel your pain. That kinda happened to me. I was trying to learn Ortega method (2x2) and I went from average 12 seconds to average 30. After about 3 weeks I've evened out, I might even be getting faster. Just saying, it IS worth it. If you feel like giving up, just take a break, or take it slowly. But carry on! It's worth the pain.
Thank you so much J Perm! because of this video i just became sub 20!!!
hello j perm love ur content is the rs3m 3020 ur main or do u use the 11 12 m pro maglev thing?
the v perm i use is the one you switched back from. 😂 i love it. feels so much more fluid than the "standard" one for me
i think the RUD move v perm is super fun to do.
Relearning finger tricks and F2L recognition, I'll do my best boss. I'll come back and update my progress, it's gonna be brain hurty, but thankyou for sharing, the idea is so simple yet so hard.
Nice I have a comp on May 7th, first comp and im sub 40 --> learned full PLL today too!
thanks for making this video, i'll help me a lot
These videos make my day so much better!
my day gets better to
This man motivates me so much
hey your videos help a lot keep it up . lots of love from India
Cant wait for you to get 1mill subs!
Can you continue the F2L tricks series
I've watched j perm since 15k subs in like 2017, keep up the great work!
cool

@@ReirtoRRNTX i think you really defending this guy way too much
I loved your video on trying to reduce a 4x4 into a 2x2 to solve it.... Could you do one where you reduce a 3x3 into a 1x1 and solve it?
I have a important tip When ur starting out try ur best to be color neutral bcoz once u get used to white or yellow corss u won't be able to be color neutral unless months and months of practice
I agree about learning CN at first but the good thing is is that it's not TOO hard to learn. I was white cross only in December but on New Year's Eve started practicing yellow cross and mastered that in about a week. Then a few weeks later started learning green cross and only doing that for a few days. Then learned blue cross soon after. Did the same with orange and then red. Then started doing them all and was totally color neutral after. One of the best things I've learned, I get a good cross most solves now
yo j perm, can you PLEASE make a video explaining how to do the tougher f2l cases quicker? like under 8 moves. i really struggle with certain f2l cases (anything with touching and/or matching colours) but after watching these vids, ive greatly improved
Watch my advanced f2l tutorial and look at bit.ly/BESTF2L !
Thanks for this. I still have the regular cube, hope Someday I can get a speedcube. Thanks!
My HUGE mistake was learning unoptimal algs and f2l cases, then doing them the same way for 10 years, now it's insanely hard to unlearn them and do the proper/optimal/faster way. Stupid muscle memory, y u so good.
Nice speed of cubing and which method do u use pls tell I got a huge inspiration from u
hello J perm!! congratulations on 100,00,00 subscribers! I am sub 20 with the RS3M 2020 from scs (i used the discount code J perm btw) and my pb is 13.04 how I can improve to be sub 10? btw ur tutorials helped me a lot and when i get bored i watch your videos and the best thing is "hope u can read Chinese!" i hope u read this comment+hope u can red Chinese
Thank You J Perm!!!!!
I used to own a Rubik's cube years ago. It was a hand-me-down, used and falling apart. It never turned well, and would come apart if it was turned with *just* a bit too much force. A young me, prone to angry outbursts, got frustrated at my inability to solve it, not knowing that someone had reassembled it due to it's flimsy construction. It likely was unsolvable, but I didn't know that and the cube eventually got lost, unsolved and forgotten about. A couple weeks ago you popped up in my recommendations, and I spent my entire work break watching you solve the 21x21 cube. Yesterday I placed an order for a QiYi Valk 3 Elite and a YJ MGC 4x4. A younger me gave up on being able to do these things. You've inspired me to pick up and try again. Thank you.
Wow, Jperm will be the first cubing channel to reach 1 million subscribers; great content, and great video!
Thanks for all these hints, i am averageing 22 secs rn and i want to start 4x4, which cube would you suggest? I also want to buy a better 3x3, i would want to buy your main one but it's a little expensive i am not sure if it'll be worth it. What would you suggest?
This really helps a lot
That last tip is really good and I just realized that I am thinking that I am the champion category but am just a cuber. Thanks!
Just when I was trying to get better at my cross jperm comes in clutch. Jperm is probably the single biggest reason I've been averaging sub 40 with F2L and beginner's method last layer. Edit: now I'm sub 25 with 4LL
nice video it helped a lot thx j perm🤗
Tip 10 is literally a life lesson that applies to everything. Know your goals and know what to do to achieve them. Make sure your goals and your actions to achieve them don't mismatch.
Literally picked up a cube at work and amazed everyone with like a minute solve. They said it was "30" seconds... I didn't argue 😂
J Perm. What are your thoughts on Mehta as a cube solving method?
Congratulations for 1 million!!!
Congrats on 900K. Will you not do a Q&A?
he reached 900k a few months ago he's close to 1 million
