Tymon just blew my freaking mind. Milan is a really good cuber, but seeing Tymon take a very similar solution and then basically figure out 3 f2l pairs just by looking at the cube in the cross and know exactly what OLL he was going to get...😵💫🤯 As a sub20 solver, I don't even have words. Great video, guys!
@@nikmrn absolutely. At sub20 I have the building blocks to understand what he's doing here in theory. But to see that far ahead that quickly is crazy to me. Plus I'm 32 so my hands probably will never move that fast 🤣
As a sub 15 solver, I saw first pair on this scramble but it blows my mind how Tymon can go like "hmm let's cancel 2nd into 3rd pair" before even doing 1st, and "oh i can predict OLL now."
Tymon's solution was insane, I am sub30 cuber with sub 20 being my best. It would never come up to my brain how he solved this scramble. I understood until Milan but Tymon just blew me up. He predicts the cube so so well
@@ReinierS Also, I haven't studied it myself, but it seems anyone who gets into VLS deep enough would develop a pretty good sense about predicting OLL from last pair?
Snow: Weird method but it works Michelle: Knows a lot and she has the potential to be so good (plus the fact that she does challenges all the time) Allan: Advanced, could be pretty good Milan: Smart Tymon: done.
snow's method is literally just the standard beginner method. easiest to learn, and most intuitive, while also not requireing too much knowledge of how the pieces move around
Kudos to Michelle!! She taught me something during the PLL of the corners. Saved 8 moves per corner(depending on the orientation of course). THANKS GIRL!!
@@JayBizz116because the layer by layer method is basically a beginner version of cfop. You can use the effective cross solution (8 moves or less) and f2l for the layer by layer to make it a lot faster. After that it is definitely better to just learn full oll and full pll.
I do layer b layer for the f2l and then beginner oll and pll. Because I find layer by layer f2l is faster then beginner cfop f2l. And I'm too lazy too learn advanced f2l.
Ive been cubing for 5 years and i'm just starting to get sub 18, But hearing tymon just litteraly predicting half of the solve... Damn this guy is A GALAXY further from me
Tymon is incredible! I average 11-12 seconds, and it always blows my mind when he is able to plan so many things on the cube in seconds. He makes it look so easy, but I know he's put in years of practice.
This video is representing our community, which is talented and diverse. There's space in cubing for everyone at every skill level. Never stop learning and be curious! Well done Cubicle!
I am a beginner to cubing. I use Snow's method for layer 1 and then Michelle's for the rest. I have the same goal of trying to solve under a minute and I thought with basic algorithms I wouldn't be able to get my solve under a minute but Michelle being able to solve it that fast has given me some inspiration. I am currently at just above 2 minutes solve time.
I think it would be really cool to do this with top cubers of different methods. Roux - Fahmi, CFOP - maybe Matty to change it up, ZZ - idk who is fast
@@hybrid9490 Yes, but Phil averages close to sub 10 while Fahmi and Matty both average low 6. Radmac also averages somewhere sub7 with zz so he would at least have a chance.
nice video, I got an 8.14 seconds solve and I did the same solution as Tymon apart from predicting the pairs and the OLL. ngl, pretty proud of myself but blown away about how Tymon can literally predict everything.
Dang Tymon's look ahead is bonkers. As someone who knows half of PLL and no OLL with a sub-40 avg, I get that everyone sees the cube differently. I loved Michelle's nicknames too. I have a plan to teach a group and I think fun names like that might be key. I also want to learn blindfolded so badly.
This video was very helpful for everyone, seeing how each cuber would solve a specific solve! Well done, Cubicle! More of this type of video would be awesome!
That was really entertaining to watch! As a sub-20 cuber, that abandoned cubing for more than a year and just came back, learning 4LLL, this was really fun. Smiled a lot 😁
This was amazing. It really is interesting to see how different minds see it based on their experience level. I know the fast cubers all do extensive look ahead but Tymon was basically doing the whole solve in his head before he began..... I haven't seen anyone on RU-vid yet that already know what OLL they were going to get way ahead of time. That was next level.
I was kind of proud of what I was able to do. I figured out 2 f2l pairs in inspection, and got a 14, which is 6 seconds faster than my average. This scramble is great!
Michelle is ICONIC! Her energy is unmatched in this video and I just love the enthusiasm she brings to this. And the names for the algorithms were amazing, we need to name more algorithms😂
As someone who has just one week under my belt in trying to solve this maddening device, I can say that what I just witnessed absolutely just blew my mind. I have been using the rubiks instructions on their site and I can confidently solve the first two layers and the top yellow and now am working on completing it without having to look at the instructions. So to witness what I just saw on this video and how all of them looked at differently I was in shock and super confused. Thank you for this video as it opened my eyes up to so many different ways to do this. I’ll keep working on my $10 dollar cube and try just to solve it without looking at instructions. These five were amazing.
I really like the format. Might I suggest a sub 20, sub 15 and a couple sub 10 solvers? I think that would benefit lots of cubers which are the majority of your viewers.
I thought it was pretty revealing that Cubehead and Tymon had a very similar cross but Tymon had a much more efficient F2L that flowed a lot nicer due to his insane lookahead. Sub-10 is admirable and Cubehead is one of the faster you-cubers but it's crazy to think, well, when you're already fast, what are the elements necessary to push one's times down to the lower bounds of what's possible?
I've been solving for over four decades, but I used a really crap method that I learned the same year the cube came out. I was 11 y.o. (I'm old now, that was 1980) I began unlearning that way and learning CFOP (2 look for now) a few weeks ago. My average is about 1:05 now at about 1.4 TPS. My goal is 30 second average. Just another bit of fun self challenge... Why did I put this here?
Tymon is a Big Brain Block Builder, like his Monkey League rival Matty. If you really wanna improve your Cross-F2L at his level, learn block building. Also, love seeing Chaos Cyoooober Michelle here. I hope she mentions her renamed Trigger-Algs.
I haven't got into block building myself but I've begun noticing just intuitively while solving what Tymon pointed out in this video - that if you have a free F2L pair in a scramble, assuming you're color neutral, you actually have 3 possible approaches to it. You can treat it as a free F2L pair going with the "D" color, or as either of 2 blocks to try to build an X-cross depending on which side color looks more promising. It's not like, a hugely next level thing but it definitely takes your cross skills up a notch if you can get the hang of it. I haven't quite yet but I'm pushing myself to whenever I see a block like that to drop the timer and just take my time and see if I can do anything with it.
@@spacevspitch4028 Hoping you for the best in that area. Tymon's so insane that he planned the xcross and used his Lookahead to solve the rest of F2L before he even finished inserting the main pair. It reminded on that Finals Monkey League interview that him and Matty inspect Full F2L as much as they can.
I found the sub 1 minute solution explanation super fun and entertaining 😂😂 while with the sub 6 seconds solver, i thought that the "he is known for his crazy look-ahead" was an oversimplification because when he started explaining his solution, i realized that he can literally see into the future 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 .. this is a cool video.. happy cubing, everyone!.. 🎉🎉🎉😊😊❤
Gonna be honest the scramble they gave was really quick and intuitive. I ended up doing almost the exact same solution as Tymon, but that was more out of luck than good look ahead. Haven't seriously solved a cube in like 5 months and got 16 seconds on this scramble so happy with it!. Average is around 17-18 seconds.
It’s extremely impressive that the top few can instantly determine the placement of each cube several moves ahead. This ability is extremely difficult to master and it’s why they are the best
I always thought that how closer to the top of the pyramid you came, how smaller the difference would get between cubers who average sub 10, sub 9, sub 8, sub 7, sub 6 ... Man... I couldn't have been more wrong 💯 Tymon's cross solution, pair-reservation and -tracking (3 pairs simultaniously!), flawless transition into OLL (which he already predicted correctly when finishing up his 3rd F2L pair 🤯) into his PLL, made Cubehead's solve look as if a beginner was solving the cube using the LBL method... and Cubehead is one of Belgium's best cubers. This video really made my day, and put sh_t in perspective to me.
Based on this video my brain can only keep up until Mylan's and explodes at Tymon's. We can tell how experience and knowledge can't be separated, the fact that Tymon can track all remaining pairs without turning the cube is so mind-blowing to me, let alone the OLL prediction that was spot on. I'm sub20, half a year into cubing and am motivated to practice more to know how that lookahead feels🔥
@@666reen7 Tbf, first time I cube was in 2009 but only started learning cfop last year. Maybe because I know beginner method earlier helps my progress, also I do cube everyday when started speedsolving, but now like 3-4 days a week, sometimes I take longer breaks due to other commitments😅 Anyways, happy cubing!
I've been cubing for over 8 years and when I was doing it actively, I averaged around 15 seconds. What Tymon did with making the pairs is crazy to me... He can visualize so much and predict so many steps that I don't know if he is a human. I know what OLL I'm going ti get ? FLEXING 😂
I’m normally a sub 40 solver with a pb of a sub 25 and I love seeing how others do it. I surprisingly have gotten to average about 35 seconds every day I work on it and I am still using the og method that I learned from like a combination of 5 videos😂, cubehead is my favorite youtuber and I hope to one day be able to get a time like him!
I have been attempting cubing for an hour and I am mind blown by the explanations and in general I kind of not get pretty much anything, but I feel fascinated
During the video he says he can see which OLL case he’s gonna get before creating the final f2l pair. Which is really impressive but no where near as impressive as what you claimed.
@@cartermarrero9431 If a 10 year old (Yiheng Wang) can predict an entire solve after looking at a scramble for 10 seconds. Pretty sure someone who has broken the world record and has been cubing for WAAAAAYYYYY longer can atleast predict oll.
Tymon is clearly a time traveller that can look a few seconds in the future. Jeez, that was out of this world. Btw, kudos to all solvers, they all show potential in their solves.
2:16 - my overly control-wanting self thinking everly faster: "there's an F2L pair right there ......... nono don't do green and red, there's a blue and red F2L pair right there, just insert it. INSERT THE DAMN F2L PAIR OR .. or I'll post this comment! :D Haha, in all honesty great video! Deeper understanding leads to increased skill. I can't imagine where in my life I am just so oblivious to my own superficial understanding that it hurts other people.
video was great! for sure would watch again with the time gape smaller. i got a 21.5 time with that scramble which is pretty good for me since i average between 24-27 seconds. i always found interesting that we value more the average and not the best single bc i got a pb the other day of 16.8 and didnt care that much for longer than the best average that i ever got that is 21.96
I’m trying to learn my first solve (I’m very close) but as expected because I am an expert in another field, there’s no chance the expert recognizes how far apart we are. His explanation meant nothing to me. But I was still amazed. What. Talent.
I'd like to see more videos like this. Maybe someone between snow and Michelle's times. I average 2.47 and am just getting into cubing. I only learned one way to solve according to ruwix beginner solve guide. I'm also curious how sub10 or even sub30 cubers would do using that beginner method. Would they have times closer to 1 or two minutes?
I'm not a sub 10, but I'm a consistent sub 50 with the beginners method and a couple of shortcuts. So while you can't get impressive times you can definitely sub 1min with beginners.
@@rs.zsalma that's all I want is to be sub1. Mostly still I can impress people without them getting too bored waiting. What are the few tricks you mentioned?
Quite fascinating! Since first actually solving the Rubik's Cube back in 1980/81 (not learning how to do it) and having never really stopped since then, I have solved a very lucky 12ish (best) to an average now of about 45sec. My main problem is that, at my age, I am starting to not see the colours as well as I once could. I can easily waste seconds at a time just missing adjacent colours! Most frustrating... but hey... what the heck, my claim to fame is I actually had a timed 32 sec (lucky) solve way back in 1981 so (I claim) had the world record at the time! By the end of about 1982 I could always complete the Cube under a minute. Yup... all using my original Rubik's Cube and Vaseline as lube (for the Cube you understand!). Great video and perhaps I can even claim to no longer be a Rubik's Cuber but a (semi-)speed cuber with poor colour recognition and old fingers! Now I am on to the advanced OLL and PLL perms and times are still falling.
I'd love to see people with fairly similar times but are all color neutral. Would be interesting to see how differently they plan their solves in inspection
Tymon’s lookahead is kinda like 1-looking F2L after cross, then 1-looking LL after 3 pairs. Which is basically 3-looking the whole solution. Which is basically insane.
As someone who is similar to Allan in skill level, it really helped being able to see Milan's thought process of a slightly more advanced level. I enjoyed seeing Tymon's thought process as well, although his level is far too advanced for me :p
