CubeSkills News

Hi! If this is your first time on CubeSkills, or if you’re in need of some help with navigation around the site, you’ve come to the right place.

 

For information about speedcubing and an overview of CubeSkills, check out the introduction module on the tutorials page, as well as the ‘About’ tab on the website. The FAQ section may also come in handy if you have any queries.

 

On the tutorials page, the 3x3 video modules are segmented into beginner, intermediate, and advanced tutorials, and these are shown at the top of the tutorials page. Those solving the cube with a beginner’s or layer by layer method should start with beginner tutorials. If you’re currently learning the CFOP method, then check out the intermediate sections. Lastly, if you’re looking to further improve your solves beyond basic CFOP, check out the advanced modules. To view all tutorial modules on the site, click the tutorials tab in the header, and then click 'All'. As you complete each tutorial video, it will be automatically marked as complete - but you have the ability to manually adjust the complete/incomplete tick for each video as you please! Videos marked with a lock symbol are only viewable to premium members. Premium members also have the ability to comment on videos to ask questions and engage in discussion around the content.

 

Complete/Incomplete tick

 

In addition to the 3x3 videos, we also have tutorials and resources for other speedcubing events, also accessible via the 'Tutorials' tab in the navigation bar.

 

For more assistance and an overview of how to get faster, take a look at the blog with the same name. The blog tab features articles I write every few weeks relating to speedcubing in some shape or form. Content may vary from speedcubing advice or thoughts, to competitions and travel, to CubeSkills news.

 

Our premium membership tab outlines the benefits and pricing of a premium membership. A premium membership is a cool way to support the growth and development of CubeSkills, and provides access to every single one of our tutorials, past, present and future. There are also some other cool benefits for cubers looking to improve their ability, so check it out!

 

If you click on your name in the top right corner, you’ll find access to your profile page, in which you can change some of your account settings and details. Any videos that you add as favourites will also be stored in this section of the site.

 

In the footer of the website, you’ll find links to the CubeSkills social media accounts. Like us on Facebook, and follow us on Instagram for some behind-the-scenes pictures, announcements, teasers, and plenty more! There is also a contact page for any questions you have about the website.

 

Cheers, and I really hope you enjoy browsing CubeSkills!

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! :)


Vikalp Chauhan

Vikalp Chauhan Posted 7 years ago

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 :)


Shankar S

Shankar S Posted 7 years ago

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.

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


KcubeW yt

KcubeW yt Posted 7 years ago

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!

Wang Yong chang Posted 7 years ago

Hi,I am back.I have a problem about Chinese Super Brain show.We know you took part in the program last year,you won the game with a project that you are not good at.And this year, Kaijun Lin,the world record holder for the 3by3 blind.But the program group to developed a rule,is to listen  the voice of disturbing the cube  to determine the state of the cube ,and then blind.Do you think it is possible?

But when the game,Liping Jia with the minimum step to solved the cube,because he remembered the cube disturb formula .So finally Kaijun Lin lost.

As the same time,the program group invited Mats Valk and Marcin Kowalczyk to participate in this show,but because of that event,the program group canceled the cube game.All of our Chinese cubers were angry.

So What do you think these events?

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.


Stephen M

Stephen M Posted 7 years ago

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


Feliks Zemdegs

Feliks Zemdegs from CubeSkills Posted 6 years ago

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!

Abhipsit Khound

Abhipsit Khound Posted 6 years ago

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?

 


KcubeW yt

KcubeW yt Posted 6 years ago

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


Nguyễn Hoàng Nam

Nguyễn Hoàng Nam Posted 6 years ago

How can you do the CFOP?

Help me with that, Feliks!


Wang Yong chang

Wang Yong chang Posted 6 years ago

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?


Woody Hudson

Woody Hudson Posted 6 years ago

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!


Brad Harrisson

Brad Harrisson Posted 6 years ago

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?


Joshua Paulus-Rosenow

Joshua Paulus-Rosenow Posted 6 years ago

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 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 ,

             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

 


 


Ethan Varn

Ethan Varn Posted 6 years ago

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 :)

Please answer this question:

How to do Zeroing??


Liam Gerard

Liam Gerard Posted 5 years ago

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


Isaiah Baker

Isaiah Baker Posted 5 years ago

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.

William Yang

William Yang Posted 5 years ago

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


Anirudh N  Bhat

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.


Noah Marsh

Noah Marsh Posted 5 years ago

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.


Master Jamin Hendricks

Master Jamin Hendricks Posted 5 years ago

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.


Noah Marsh

王睿 马

王睿 马 Posted 5 years ago

Silas Lickliter

Silas Lickliter Posted 5 years ago

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


Silas Lickliter

Silas Lickliter Posted 5 years ago

oops not vas  I meant vls 


Noah Marsh

Noah Marsh Posted 5 years ago

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.


Silas Lickliter

Silas Lickliter Posted 4 years ago

and also it prepares your recognition for harder stuff like zbll

Noah Marsh

Noah Marsh Posted 4 years ago

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.

hey surya,

you can follow the tips I gave to bhumika

 


yashwanth balasundaram

yashwanth balasundaram Posted 3 years ago

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


bob bill

bob bill Posted 3 years ago

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

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. 


bob bill

bob bill Posted 3 years ago

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


Abdullah Ali

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


Jamie A

Jamie A Posted 3 years ago

TBH, probably break it down


bob bill

bob bill Posted 3 years ago

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


A SpeedCuber

A SpeedCuber Posted 3 years ago

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


bob bill

bob bill Posted 3 years ago

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


Amaan Patel

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.

 


Jamie A

Jamie A Posted 3 years ago

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


The  Kuber

The Kuber Posted 3 years ago

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

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


Rishit Pandey

Rishit Pandey Posted 2 years ago

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


bob bill

bob bill Posted 2 years ago

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


bob bill

bob bill Posted 2 years ago

The mgc is one of the best 


Abdullah Ali

Abdullah Ali Posted 2 years ago

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


bob bill

bob bill Posted 2 years ago

no, just keep your mgc you dont need to upgrade


Abdullah Ali

Abdullah Ali Posted 2 years ago

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


mateo lopez

mateo lopez Posted 2 years ago

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


bob bill

bob bill Posted 2 years ago

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

Is a 21 by 21 hard to solve?

 


Keith Reed

Keith Reed Posted 1 year ago

Never tried but I would think so I solved a 11 by 11 and that was a little hard lwith the last centers. What's the biggest cube you solved so far? I guess I should ask that first then what method do you use on big cubes
