Getting Started

Hey Feliks, thanks for giving us fans a direct way to support you!

Hey Hal, 

No problems, I hope CubeSkills can be really really valuable for you! I have so much in the works that I'm already quite excited about - please don't hesitate to send through suggestions and feedback so that I can keep improving the site.

Cheers!

Feliks

Hi Feliks, its great to have a single place to find reliable tutorials about getting quicker at 3x3. thank you for making this! :)

thanks for making this website! :)

oh and i tried to do one of the olls,i dont know if i mess up or the lag isnt correct but it dosent work for me

Hi feliks  zemdegs congratulations  for your every wr. 

Yess  I am also hope cube stills is really  helpful for every cubes 

I really learn cubing  from  your,  YouTube video feliks

Now my official  PB is 12.68 in rubik cube how to develop  my self

So thank you, zemdegs  

hai feliks,  thanks so much,  you've help me,especially my family and my friend, which is new learn rubik's cube. ?

Hello Feliks I have some question are you going to make videos about OLL or PLL ? Or where did you learn these tricks? 

hey....give blindfolded tutorial alsoo

Thanks Phillip!

Dror - which algorithm isn't working for you?

Jordi - I'll make some OLL and PLL fingertrick videos in the next little while :)

Adarsh - Working on fleshing out the 3x3 tutorials as well as doing some 4x4 and big cube tutorials before that sort of thing! :)

Hey Feliks thanks for the blog.

Dude can u make a chart of all plls which you usually do and easy to do coz I know most of them but if u talking abt G-perm and R-perm it is sick like how to identify the cases. So really need ur preference and guidance.

And I m like 25-30s avg cuber and m stuckked in this time frame. I just can't get how shud I improve myself

Looking forward for your reply :)

Thanks mate. I am a 9.25 avg of 500 solver who does not know full oll. I just know the 2 look ones and some crappy ones i made by myself. Looking forward to your OLL and PLL finger trick videos.

In my opinion I feel the advanced courses are not for a 8 second averager, its for a 12 to 15 second person.

For super advanced courses i would like some example solves and breakdowns. As they are really helpful.

Thanks,

Shankar.

ps: You don't need to reply to this, as there are other people who need answers faster.

Huhey guys i dont have a good cube but i can solve that cube in 1 min or 1 :30min

Ifeliks i started cubing when i saw you on youtube it was 1 month ago and i learnd cubing now i have 7types of cubes

Ffeliks do you know to solve a pyramics cube

 hey feliks and my gf also loves your cubing

Gguys and one thing that i am 13

How to sub15(3*3*3)

Great website Feliks. It's a great resource and will be good for the future of cubing

really helpfull blog Feliks....I have completed intermediate cross and f2l and I am doin the practice drills regularly and it has reduced me 3 seconds in average within 2 days...now I am almost sub 20 guys....advanced cross helped me a lot.....

hoping for a one handed tutorial video....please Feliks

great job!! this has been the website i have been looking for! now i am sub 20!

Hi, I am cubing for a year now. Now my avg is 25 seconds but I cannot go any faster

Hey Feliks, I have a question for you, if you were to have ANY cube, what would it be? Since Gan 356 UMs are gone, I would choose that :p

Plus, the membership thing is a bit unfair since they get to be on the livestreams and get more videos wich I am sub 40 and I need those videos atleast until I am sub 20. But you do you ;)

Hi Feliks,

Thank you so much for putting together this website!  I am learning so much and I didn't even get to the advanced videos yet.  I am almost sub-18.  The content is organized nicely.

I can't wait for the Competing Tips.  Keep up the great work!

Hi,Feliks ,I am a cuber from China ,I have not see 4by4 speed solvers of you long time.So I hope you can upload some of 4by4 cube video on youtu.

Sorry,my English is limited

OH,I would appreciate it if you can mention my name on the 4by4 video, so I know you did it for me.And my name is Yong-chang Wang,and I am a Chinese.

Thanks for you again. 

Sorry ,why there is no Chinese version ,some of which I do not understand.Actually almost。

Hi Feliks, I'm a cuber from Uzbekistan. Hope you answer to my mail roshennn97@gmail.com 

Hello. How many times do you solve cube per day.

Do you have any tips on how to improve lookahead? I've tried doing slow solves but I don't think it's really getting me anywhere.

Hey Feliks, 

I have just one question. Is it necessary to be color neutral? I am a sub 50 solver and I was thinking of putting the time and effort into it, but is it really necessary? By the way, love the website! 

Sincerely, 

Stephen

Riley - check out the video on lookahead in the intermediate F2L module.

Stephen - Not necessary, but highly recommended, particularly if you're only new - it will take far less effort to switch!

Feliks, How can I put my own icon onto my profile picture or can I period?

Hi Feliks I'm grateful to you for making this website . I want to ask u a question. Is there a algorithm to quickly solve the cube or we should solve it in normal way quickly?

Abhipsit, what does that even mean?? You have to do cfop or roux or whatever you use to solve the cube, there is a god number but you can't figure that out for 43 Quintillion combinations :p

How can you do the CFOP?

Help me with that, Feliks!

When I solve the cube,I always can't see the calibrated state of F2L no matter which side，it's hard to solve.

What should I do at this time?

Hi Feliks,

I am averaging 30-35 seconds but 20 seconds for F2L. I have just recently learnt full PLL, but that is not getting me sub-30. I know I need to improve my F2L recognition and have been practicing a lot in the past few weeks, but have not improved that much. Do you think I should learn more F2L? Also, is it necessary to be color neutral? I can get my average times with white and yellow cross, but not any other colors.

Loving the site!

Hi Feliks,

I am looking at doing speed cubing. I have ((((((( questions.

1) What cube should i get?

2)How are you so good?

3)How do you practise?

4)How long do you practise?

5)What competitions should i go to?

Hi Feliks,

Thanks so much for starting this! Recently I founded my own non-profit organization called "Anyone Can Cube." I am currently teaching the Rubik's cube to 18 boys at a local orphanage. When I'm with them I teach them what I know, but when I'm gone I'm wondering what to give them as resources. Now that you're compiling all this great knowledge into one place I have something to use for them in my absence!

Thanks again, I'm looking forward to all of your content.

Hi Feliks! This is a great website, and great for all us cubers to learn from the best of the best. A lot of my friends are asking for a good website, and I am recommending this one to every single person who asks. I have one question though. Do you have any advice on how to memorize OLL and PLL algorithms?

Hey guys i can complete cube in 1 min now

This site is helpful. Keep up the great work!

I average around 7-8 seconds Aryan Naik ;)

Thanks for creating and adding videos to Cubeskills in general. In the past 1-2 months my PB has dropped around 30 seconds- from 1 minute 1 second, to 31 seconds, mostly from the tricks and tips Cubeskills. It has helped so much.

can you feliks make a fingertricks and algorithm in OLL you use?

can you feliks make a fingertricks and algorithm in OLL you use?

Cheers Liam, glad it's very useful!! :)

Mark - yes this will happen, but it's not the priority for videos at the moment.

Hi Feliks, this website has dropped my times from a minute to 20-30 seconds in 2 weeks.I am very happy about it. I am just wondering if I should get the Gans air 356 because I have heard many good reviews of it. I am wondering what are the differences from the Moyu weilong GTS2.

Hi Feliks! Can you please watch our Youtube Channel ; Tien Cubes. In this, we use CFOP and Tien is close to your amazing World record. I used this and I am pretty bad at it....

This site  is very useful to me  , this site  has dropped my  times  from a minute to 20 - 29  seconds 

Any suggestions from you to increase my speed

My everange dropped from 1 minute to 23 second.... This website is very useful

Hi Feliks, do you have a tutorial on 3x3 BLD solving?

My average is like 23 seconds and 15.84 pb

Hi Feliks,this site dropped my times in sub 30s.Thanks a lot for that.

Hi Feliks ,

             In Your 4.75 Solve You Have mentioned That Hard-core Zeroing on the Last F2L Pair

•What Is Zeroing? 

•At What Stage Should We Use It ?

•Will You Make a Tutorial For It?

•When did You Start Using 

Zeroing ?

Feliks Please Answer My Questions

Zeroing isn’t a method or subset, it is a joke about him having a secret method that explains how he’s so fast. Not a real thing he’s just really good at CFOP. Hope this helped and if not, speedcubereview on YouTube has a video on it :)

Hi feliks I'm your biggest fan .u are awesome. Plz give me some practice in 4 by 4 to beat my friend.

could you teach me how to do the oll and pll much faster

i am ur biggest fan felix

can you do blind solving feliks and if you can could you make a tutorial on how

Hi Feliks,

Please answer this question:

How to do Zeroing??

Zeroing is fake. He says that a lot. Just a joke about how fast he is.

Zeroing is just a joke. Although feliks uses weird tricks during his solves like the 4.75 "hardcore zeroing" solve, thats not zeroing. It' just his way of getting better last layer cases.

I started cubing 2 months ago and average 1:30 seconds.  I am learning CFOP.  Any Advice? 

Do you know how to do F2L properly?

If you solve the entire bottom first and then start your side pieces then go to Feliks 3x3 tutorials and click on F2L this is going to improve your times a lot then in 3x3 algorithms download the PLL algorithms and then OLL Algorithims this by itself will improve your times by a lot

I really love you Feliks u are really cool in solving cubes once again I love ur channel I like ur tutoring And I am lucky to have seen it tutoring on YouTube

Yes, I just can't insert from alsides yet.  I am memorizing pll and oll algorithms right now.  Thank you!

Sir, I really want to improve my skills and my dream is to meet you one day. And we wish you always be the ? champion..

Thanks

Is there any multislotting module ??

Hi guys! Am new here but I really really want to learn how to do speedcubing! I have some skills tho! I’m currently learning some serious stuff with this site http://en.lerubikscube.com i hope that with the combination of the two am gonna solve the rubiks like a champ in no time ;) !

If there isnt a multislotting module, can you add one?

There is, I believe it’s under the adavanced F2L section but if not, check the intermediate one.

Advanced

Hi! Feliks 

I started cubing 1 month ago and my average is 35.Any advice?

I have made cube in 39 seconds by begginer method

Is that speed fine?

How can I become more fast?

learn CFOP!

Thats the best I can think of.

:/

Hi, I am Averaging 14-16 Seconds. I Have Not Learned Full Oll Yet. But I Learned All The PLL's. I am Learning my remaining oll's. Can You Help Me By Suggesting What Can I Do Next After Learning The Full OLL. (Oh! One Thing I Do intuitive Advanced F2l.)

Hi feliks i'm living japan nice to meet you. 

Then i have question how you can do remember all olls and plls .

remembering all is so hard.

please tell me.

I'm sorry if i am being impolite or too straightforward.

The best thing to remember them is to practice them, so you get them into your muscle memory, so you don't have to think about what moves to do, you just do them.

i just repeat the algorithm over and over until its in my muscle memory,then the next day i see if i remember it. thats how i do it.

Yeah, that's what I do.

hello feliks!I'm from China.you are my idol.  

which part do you think cfop should remember first?

F2l then pll then oll then coll then wv then vas then zbll then be a top solver 

oops not vas  I meant vls 

COLL isn't that useful for 3x3, as a lot of the algs are longer, and the cases are hard to recognize, to actually become useful in your solves. The only reason you should learn it if you want to get good at 2x2, where yo can use the same algs, COLL algs are less efficient on 2x2 than CLL algs.

and also it prepares your recognition for harder stuff like zbll

F2l을 공부 하고 싶은데 이해가 안되네요 공부을 어떻게 해야할지 모르겠어요 

I made a comment already. I'm John Mack.

I made the comment 

About my daughter sending me these cubes from the 2x2,3x3,4×4,5×5,6×6.im not a speedster but I'm currently trying to solve the 6x6 any suggestions?

solve it the same way you'd solve 4x4 and 5x5.

I love cube

I solved a pyraminx in 49 seconds and when I stopped the timer the pieces swirled around. Is that a +2?

I think so. If the cube wasn't solved when it was on the mat, or after the timer was stopped it's either a DNF or a plus 2. 

Could I solve a 5x5 with yau method or is that a bad idea 

Nice

Hello I am Isaac ! I want easy but useful trucks for CFOP

Hi! I'm Dat! I'm from Vietnam

Hi Feliks Ive been inspired by you your a great inspiration and a good friend over all I know you've already met me in Facebook More Wr to break good luck!

Hi! I am a Chinese player lincoln.

فرمول های یکدست

I am 11 and can solve a 100x100x100 in 1 month.

Harvey everyone here can do this, but nobody wants to wast his time like this.

Hi I’m Chinese and I’m a beginner! but I do know how to use CFOP on 3x3

Hi @Ryan, I'm also a Chinese(half) How fast do you average, and which province are you from? I am  in Guangdong , Guangzhou and average around 12 seconds.

Nice really helpful 

HARISH

nice website always wanted this to happen

Hi

I am learning CFOP as well

Hi . Can you help . I am 26 seconds averager and want to get faster

feliks sir iam Rohan my average is 1 minute can you help me get faster sir

Sir, I am a sub 20 solver. Could you give me some tips to get faster in 3×3?

Hi Feliks

Couple of questions here.

1. Can you provide some tips for ZBLL?

2. What GAN cube would you recommend as a main?

Thanks!

Could you please make a page with a tutorial for beginner F2L? I really need to learn.

See I have noticed here that everyone would like to talk to feliks, unfortunately he only talks to people with premium. What do you think it would take to get him to talk to us

Maybe we can answer them

But he did answer for Hal...

Hal Philips

And even though I am answering your questions I am just 11 years old

Don't think my answers are wrong by my age I have been cubing for 2 years

Hello Harvey,

I think there is no such thing as 100×100 cube

hey Bhumika,

you go to the advanced module of 3by3 to get faster and learn advanced lastlayer

hey surya,

you can follow the tips I gave to bhumika

hello Rohan,

so as you are solving the cube in 1 minute

you can try learning F2l which will get you to sub thirty and oll and pll

which will make you sub-20 

if you wanna get to 10 secs or 15secs learn everything from the advanced module.

If you wanna get more faster it is based on practise

yashwanth

also, many other aspects to get sub 30 and sub 20 and so on. you need to learn to get better lookahead, turn speed and if you don't already have one, get a good cube

Thanks 

Any thoughts on breaking the sub 20 barrier

try to learn full oll and pll i am currently breaking sub 20 as well and I'm very very close just learning more lol algs I've got all the plls down

also f2l and lots of pactice

dude just slow down and look ahead

bad advice until at least sub 15 imo

I spent months of cubing for hours every day and not getting sub 20. Eventually, I broke down and actually slowed down. After about a week I reached it.

Any good 3x3s?

I think that you should learn lookahead when about sub-17

I think you should start learning look ahead when you can solve each f2l case eyes closed. about sub-25

I 100% agree

You should learn each f2l case rotationless at sub 15-17

so I was considering subscribing to premium and I noticed it says solve critiques are no longer available to all premium members and i was wondering if anyone knows who is eligible to get their solves critiqued

Idk either? it is a mystery

Maybe someone with premium can ask

no one is

and no, I dont have premium

He dosen't work on this site anymore. It was created 3 years back lol

And that's why he dosen't have time to critique like a 1000 solves a day

Hi Bob,

I no longer have the capacity to offer posted solve critiques at the moment for anyone.

Feliks

ok, thank you :)

knew it!

What are some memorization trick one can use to remember these algorithms, beside just doing it over and over again until muscle memory kicks in. I am totally new to this. 

find little groups of moves so instead of looking at it as one big long alg, you can see it as 3 or 4 little move groups. also, I believe there are some websites that you can select the algs you know and it will scramble it so you have one of those algs. that can help so you don't forget and get better at recognition

Hi Feliks. One question, What is your best tip for learning an algorithm

TBH, probably break it down

yes, find little groups of moves and memorize that rather than memorizing every single move one by one

Literally just do it over and over again until its in your muscle memory

yes you can learn helpful ways to do certain parts faster just by going slow and trying to figure out some good fingertricks for it

Hi Feliks I average 1:00 to 1:30 but my cube is getting slower and hard to move is there something I can do.

Buy a new cube depending on what your current one is, or lube it.

Yes, I think you should lube it or buy a new cube.

Thanks

Thanks!

Thanks feliks for starting a website so by your help my best timing is increased 45 seconds  to 22 seconds by learning CFOP beginners method 

Hello Feliks,

What is your email so I could ask you a question? 

Thanks,

Adhvik

hi feliks 

Hi..Feliks.....Let's go

Ok

yes you can learn helpful ways to do certain parts faster just by going slow and trying to figure out some good finger tricks for it

Hi feliks

Hi Feliks

Thanks! it helped me a lot!

Hi feliks

This website is amazing! I went in around sub-65 and now I'm sub-40. (I learnt some LL algs and lubed my cube).

HI Feliks,

This blog has helped me alot, I was getting sub 50's and now I'm getting sub 37's 

Thanks Feliks

Hey Feliks, I'm just not able to understand F2L, how long will it take to learn F2L fully?

I started cubing a month ago and average sub 10 with the Ortega method on a 2 by 2.

It takes some time tog eat f2l down, don’t worry if you dont understand at first, no one does, you will get it soon. Took me like 2 months to get consistent with f2l

i like feliks and jperm a lot 

HI

Sad keyboard correction spelt rubik wrong

Hi Feliks

Hi Feliks, thank you for making this website!

Hi Feliks this website is the best

I really need a new 4x4  (I am a sub 1:10 solver) What should I get, (I had the MGC)?

The mgc is one of the best 

So r u saying I just get a new MGC or any other?

no, just keep your mgc you dont need to upgrade

No but it has become very hard to turn and sluggish so that is why i was asking

I have a gan 4x4, its hard to turn at first and corner-cutting is hard, you can add lube and loosen it and its perfect, its most likely to pop this way though

Abdullah Ali, if your cube is sluggish, just lube it. MGC is a very good 4x4 and I doubt you need a new one
