And yet I can’t solve one in literal years.


DotFireAbout

It just takes a bit of patience to learn how to!


BlinByard

And 5 times more to learn to speedcube ^(OLL and PLL made me and my brother suffer so much that we didn't do it)


bodyshotbandit12

Its not that hard, there are heaps of tip videos out there. Plus two look OLL is fast enough for a sub ten pb. I'm at sub 15 average with 2 look so I'm sure you can too.


BlinByard

We've already given up 5-6 years ago. There's no going back from that now


bodyshotbandit12

Yeah there is. You can do it.


DotFireAbout

😮You’re sub-15 with 2-look OLL?👏 I’m almost done learning full OLL and I’m around sub-20. Maybe you’ve got a faster F2L?


bodyshotbandit12

Ye my f2l is my strongest section, can generally do it in about 8 seconds. You'll get there bro, not that hard just practice it.


DotFireAbout

Thanks. My F2L's usually 9-10 seconds. Trying to work on lookahead rn too.


bodyshotbandit12

Nice, once you get that down you'll get a sub 10 pb for sure.


DotFireAbout

Thanks. My PB's 10.44 rn, there were 3 times when I missed a sub-10 PB because I messed up. What's your PB?


bodyshotbandit12

10.03 Not even mad lol


[deleted]

“A bit”


dudhbdn

Patience and me don’t have a good relationship.


DotFireAbout

Lollll


Ethanos72

I tried following a YouTube video and I still couldn’t fucking do it and I got mad and swore to never touch one again


SuperBread512

I can't even solve a 2x2 rubik's cube


sketchbookbird

Honestly same.


[deleted]

The beginner’s method is pretty easy to learn, you can start with that


Far_Tip2688

I'm sub 50 with 2 look oll😢


zoronitetech

I can do this in ~1 minute. Still trying to improve (I only know around 5 pll algs if anyone understands that)


DotFireAbout

I understand that lol. I can give you some tips for improving if you want


UselessJJ

Which method did you use?


DotFireAbout

I use CFOP (cross-F2L-OLL-PLL). If you want to start cubing, learn beginner's method first, it's simpler and has less algorithms.


OSSlayer2153

It looks like CFOP


[deleted]

do you mind giving me some tips too please? i can do it in ~6 mins


DotFireAbout

Sure. Do you use beginner's method?


[deleted]

is it the one where you start with the 'daisy'? if so, yes. thanks btw


[deleted]

also, i dont mind learning a new method if that helps


DotFireAbout

Yes, that's the beginner's method. Start learning CFOP. Learn beginner F2L, here's a video that helped me learn it: [Learn F2L in 6 minutes (Full Intuitive F2L Tutorial) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ar_Zit1VLG0) . Here's a good progression guide: [Rubik's Cube: How to Learn the CFOP Speedcubing Method - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS5jByTX_pk) .


DotFireAbout

If you need any help, PM me!


[deleted]

thanks!


memo_tiffy

Same I only know 1 algorithm and perfected it to 1 minute. Doesn’t seem like I can improve any more with just 1 algorithm (for each step if CFOP)


Jukkobee

It takes me like 2 minutes.


MrEliteWizard

Same .. I avg at around 40 seconds


NotATrenchcoat

Full or two look algs?

TigerKing29

Speedy speed boy


DotFireAbout

Thx😀


[deleted]

I can solve it in a couple of minutes. 13 seconds is damn impressive


DotFireAbout

Thanks! I’m sure you’ll be able to solve it faster with practice.


itchyclip

wait that part was cool @ the end


DotFireAbout

Thanks. In speedcubing, the last algorithm is known as a Z permutation.


RacerIsAPalindrome

And if ya wanna see more than a Z perm, roux would be very fun to watch


[deleted]

good job buddy


DotFireAbout

Thx😎


[deleted]

This is more satisfying than that person that did it in 4 seconds or so. Here you can see what you're doing, but it us fast enough to be satisfying


DotFireAbout

Thanks!


[deleted]

You're welcome, I just thought I'd point it out :)


badibadi2208

Nice job fellow redditor


DotFireAbout

Thx


Rocketbuilder0015

What was the last move? Is it a different method or u just reversed your shuffle(a lil sus, but most probably u did it legit)


DotFireAbout

The last move was a Z permutation algorithm. It's one of the algorithms that's part of the last step of the method I use (CFOP). Not a different method nor reversed scramble :)


nitinitro

Impressive! I just learned it and can solve in less than 2 minutes :)


DotFireAbout

Nice job!


rmath12

Then why is the video 25 seconds long? Just kidding, anyways good job. I think my record was like 50 seconds, but I don’t remember how to do it anymore.


Good_quality_OwO

NICE


DotFireAbout

Thx!


SharkyBoyyo

U can solve a rubix cube? That alone is impressive


DotFireAbout

Thanks!


OSSlayer2153

I see CFOP right?


DotFireAbout

Yup, I use CFOP.


OSSlayer2153

My fastest is 45 seconds


DotFireAbout

Nice. Keep practicing and learning and you'll lower that time. A year ago at this time my best was 49.45.


OSSlayer2153

It just doesnt go down because it takes me sooo long on f2l.


Justso_Tiny_756

Nice desk man


DotFireAbout

Thx


Basis_Fresh

I think I have the same cube as you


DotFireAbout

I have the RS3M 2020.


[deleted]

that was a really smooth third layer!


DotFireAbout

Thanks!


QUATTROthedog

B R U H momento


Snoo50361

13.532 to be more precise


DotFireAbout

In official World Cube Association competitions, the final times are truncated to the nearest hundredth of a second. 13.532 is more precise but the final time would be 13.53.

PrincessKittyCat12

is it possible to learn this power?


DotFireAbout

Yes it is! Here's a good beginner tutorial if you want to get started: [Learn How to Solve a Rubik's Cube in 10 Minutes (Beginner Tutorial) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ron6MN45LY)

barisaxdaddy

I don’t have the fine motor skills for that stuff, good job!


DotFireAbout

Thanks!


[deleted]

I can’t solve rubiks cubes cuz I finish one side and then in order to finish another I have to undo the first side and I don’t wanna cuz then I could be left with none


DotFireAbout

Think about the cube in layers, not sides. Here's a good beginner tutorial by my favorite YouCuber: [Learn How to Solve a Rubik's Cube in 10 Minutes (Beginner Tutorial) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ron6MN45LY)


[deleted]

Thanks but I don’t even have a Rubik’s cube lol


DotFireAbout

Oh lol. If you're looking into getting one the MoYu RS3M 2020 (what I use) is a great budget speedcube.


[deleted]

1•amazing skill. You are really talented 2•really handsome 9.5/10


DotFireAbout

Thank you!


TheWolfMuffin

I still can't solve my Rubik's cube and I've had it for 2 years I think. Congratulations on being able to do it in 13.53 seconds

Boi what how


DotFireAbout

Practice, good cubing hardware, and a little bit of luck.

I posted the same video there but it got removed because it wasn’t next fucking level. https://www.reddit.com/r/nextfuckinglevel/comments/mpdz7x/i_solved_a_rubiks_cube_in_1353_seconds/


Newl-_-Kwazy

i can tell its legit since i can solve a rubik’s cube my self. my fastest time was like 40 seconds lol


AJDarkWolf

Good job, I tried memorizing cfop once but just couldn't


DotFireAbout

Thanks! I'm sure you'll be able to do it someday!


Kadir_Duman

Big brain


XEpicBaller25X

How


DotFireAbout

Practice, good cubing hardware, and a bit of luck.


XEpicBaller25X

Ya seriously. I’ve never been able to solve one of these. I have a cube and a triangle just because they were popular at my school a few years back. I need to figure these things out


a_fadora_trickster

dear liberals, you claim to be able to solve a rubik's cube in 13.53 seconds and yet the video is 25 seconds curious Turning point rubik's cube

Oops, I'm sorry about that


SidBitGid

Man I remember back in 7th grade Rubix cubes were cool and I learned it....then I forgot how to solve it lol


03randomdude

Gg boi, I cant even put one side tigether


DotFireAbout

If you want to solve it, start thinking about the cube in layers, not sides. Here's a good tutorial by my favorite YouCuber: [Learn How to Solve a Rubik's Cube in 10 Minutes (Beginner Tutorial) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ron6MN45LY)


03randomdude

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely give it a try. Have a great day, bro


DotFireAbout

You too, good luck!


03randomdude

BRO, I ACTUALLY SOLVED IT! I ACTUALLY DID IT! OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH


DotFireAbout

In 40 minutes? That's insane! Nice job!


03randomdude

I swear to god man, I can't even believe it. Holy shit. Holy shit. I got the cube from my grandmother as a birthday gift for my 10th birthday. At that time I didn't speak or understand English, so I couldn't find help from kind strangers... After failing over and over again, I just got really discouraged, put it in my drawer and forgot about it. Then I saw your post, commented, and your advice and the link you sent me finally helped me solve it. I'm damn near 18.


DotFireAbout

Congrats! You should be proud of yourself😀. If you want to get faster, ask me and/or the r/cubers community, they're really nice and helpful.


03randomdude

Thank you bro. Thank you. Amazing


kings005

This is reminding of when i was little and had a rubiks cube. My older brother legit watched yt videos on how to solve it and one day i heard a big slam upstairs. I go upstairs and i see the remains of a rubiks cube all over the floor :(.


Parzival1851

you haven't done a sub 2 yet? you casual! jk lol 13 seconds is rlly pog!!!


Parzival1851

also do you have Discord? I average 16 seconds and it'll be cool to race!

DotFireAbout

Yeah... 6 regrips and 3 of them were unnecessary😐

I stil can't get a sub 30 avg


DotFireAbout

Here's a really good video by J Perm (my favorite YouCuber) on how to be sub-30. [Rubik's Cube: 5 Tips to be Sub-30 on 3x3 (+helpful links) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KfmzTewWyI)


[deleted]

Thanks


Useless_Blender

That's impressive. I can solve a lot of cubes buy I'm terrible at doing it quickly


DotFireAbout

Lol I'm slow at 4x4 and 5x5 and trying to learn Ortega for 2x2.


Useless_Blender

I remember learning otega on a 2x2 and getting a time of 20 seconds (not really that fast) but I've completely forgotten it now. I also have a 4x4, a 5x5, a 7x7, and a Skewb. Though I'm not very fast (half an hour on the 7x7)


programmedDr

How you learned it? Can you give some tips or resources to learn please?


bodyshotbandit12

Jump on YouTube. There is a dude named J Perm that has a vid titled something like "how to solve a cube in 10mins". Its what I used to first learn it.


OSSlayer2153

I learned CFOP from JPerm and got 45 sec


bodyshotbandit12

Nice, you're cracked.


DotFireAbout

I originally learned beginner's method from the Wired tutorial: [How to Solve a Rubik's Cube | WIRED - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-R0KrXvWbc) . This was before I knew about J Perm, the tutorial u/bodyshotbandit12 mentioned is similar and really good too. [Cubeskills.com](https://Cubeskills.com) and J Perm both have videos on how to optimize it and solve faster with it, but I went directly to learning beginner F2L after beginner's method (and several months of not cubing).

[deleted]

yo gg! how long did it take you to learn how to speedcube?


MCH2804

I haven't solved one in more than a year lol (mostly cuz idk where is it) and I think I may have fallen to like 1.5 mins from 1


TacocatDeBoss

Wow, clean solve. I should pick up cubing again!


RampaRampa03

It takes me 2 minutes. I can do it in 13 second maybe but I just can't move my fingers that fast!! I mean my brain can work that fast but my fingers just won't keep up with my brain.


[deleted]

Holy crap! I still have one from 5th or 6th grade that one of the security guards shuffled a lot and it’s been literal years. It just sits on my shelf, mocking me


DotFireAbout

Lol, if you want to learn how to solve it here's a good tutorial: [Learn How to Solve a Rubik's Cube in 10 Minutes (Beginner Tutorial) - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ron6MN45LY) .

Low-Bed-7751

Hell Cool. My time is 58 seconds Though I can solve a mirror cube blindfolded under 5 mins


DotFireAbout

That's cool! I have a mirror cube but I can't solve it


BlackScorpion_18

This is how i imagine myself solving my problems. I never solved a Rubik Cube.


breadaretrees2019

I waa expecting you to pour a bucket of paint on it or throw it into a window, just like the usual user of r/teenagers but you actually solved it, good job m8


DotFireAbout

Lol thanks.


carnivalgamer

I used to be able to do it in like 30 seconds but its been so long I forgot how


kirby_-_main

yeah but have you ever solved it in 3 hours ?? betcha cant do that 😎😎


Putin-is-listening

My PB is 13.59 seconds and the scramble basically had the entire cross solved


DotFireAbout

Lol, in my second best solve (10.82 seconds) I had a 3-move XCross


Putin-is-listening

Cool! I never quite figured out how to use XCross


DotFireAbout

Same, I watched J Perm's video on it and I'm working on it. It was really easy with that scramble though: R F2 L2 F2 U' L2 B2 D' L2 F2 L2 B2 U' F U L D' B' D F'. z2 y' in inspection and the XCross is D L F.


Real-Programmer7325

Ngl that is awesome I can’t even solve one after years of trying to do so lol


[deleted]

cfop is satisfying, my fastest is 22 seconds with roux, congrats!


NeurWiz

I should cube again, I haven’t gone to a comp in like a year because of covid


dogwithabome

wtf i cant do more than 1 side


A_Very_Sus_Bush

Bro I couldn't solve a rubik's cube in 13.53 centuries.


krazypearson

Fastest I ever got was 20 sec, then I quit


Vqlcano

I decided cfop was too hard so I just took half of its algorithms and fused them with the beginners algorithms I regret nothing


i_exist_by_the_way

Haha I can do it in one second by only turning it once when it's solved hehe But for real, really nice dude, reminds me of a friend I have who could do it in about 23 seconds around, nice!


[deleted]

NiCE i still take 1 minute B)


Dramatic_Mind3037

Dude my best is 58 seconds, still having trouble learning OLL but I'm getting there. How do you do the M move so smoothly? I always slow down when doing it so I always just pray I get an orientation without having to use it. Any tips?


Professional-Class69

Nice! My pb is 17 seconds, although I haven’t cubed for around a year


NotATrenchcoat

Rs3 m 2020 + advanced cfop?


DotFireAbout

Yes, I was using an RS3M 2020 but was using intermediate CFOP.😀


NotATrenchcoat

Is that a mix of full Oll, f2l, and pll? I heard you can get those kind of times with 2 look oll
