How to solve a skewb! Easiest beginner method 2020  

Yo thanks so much! Glad I could help :)

IKR?

Imagine not being subscribed to Speedcube.co.nz tho... Go on, do it!

@@Speedcubenz I am already, aren’t I? Not being subscribed is like buying a Rubik’s cube when you could get a gan for the same price

@@baileykanon1408 Yeah after I posted this I realised the difference between people who are publicly and privately subscribed 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Sorry for being an accusin' Susan!

BRO I KNOW THEM

Thanks for watching!! 🙌

@@Speedcubenz anytime bro!!

Yo thanks so much for visiting! I’m glad you like it 🙌

Awesome, thank you! ❤️

I figured 🙌

No sweat, thanks for watching!

Easy to learn, hard to master 😂

@@Speedcubenz Yeah that's why I said beginner level. Advanced Skewb would blow my mind away 🤔

Same - big brains only!

I think you know where to buy it from :)

Omg it’s Pratik! Thanks for watching :) 🙌

You're so welcome, thanks so much for watching! Please smash the sub button for more :)

Thanks so much for watching!

Ayy thanks so much I'm glad you like it!

Thank you! 🙏

Thanks Kam! 😂🙌

I'll add this to my CV

Just iMovie honestly! Graphics are done in Canva, filmed on an iPhone 11 plus a couple of cheap K-Mart lights! Pretty simple setup to be honest :)

@@Speedcubenz Wow! That’s pretty impressive. I’m not that great with iMovie 😅

It’s actually pretty powerful once you find all the secrets 😂 would like to upgrade at some point though.

@@Speedcubenz how is the voice so loud and clear? Mine just turns waay quieter

@@baileykanon1408 Speak slowly and clearly, and in this setup the phone is quite close to my face so the mic picks me up well. Make sure the room is quiet, raise your vocal level in the edit and make sure the bg music is nice and low. I usually have music at 6 or 7% volume for example 🙌

nah

Nope - only if your skewb has been put back together wrong

Exciting! 🙌

Ha ha what are the chances?! 🤣

I quite like it but I hate to WCA scramble it lol, that's the next skewb video I'll make I think!

Yo nice work! 🙌

@@Speedcubenz thanks I need to learn a better method but I,m to lazy

@@kingjdbcubing3963 Same lol

Keep trying, you can do it!

It was slow

I mean this was pretty slow, and don't forget to pause!

Watch it again, you'll work it out, I believe in you 🙌

Nah it definitely works - watch again and you'll get it :) This is pretty much the simplest way to solve the skewb.

😂

@@Speedcubenz i was kidding i was mad that i’m bad at it excuse my rudeness😅

​@@Speedcubenz Not trying to be rude, but the guy is right; This video is really badly explained (don't take it personal; Seems to be a pattern with Skewb). At 7:15, you describe the alg as "down, down, up, up". (Which SOUNDS like you're saying "D2, U2"... which would make no sense... but thats what "down, down, up, up" means in normal notation, right?) But with each "down" move, you're rotating a different corner. The problem that NOBODY seems to explain, in ANY Skewb "how to", a very simple one- but one that never gets addressed. You come CLOSE (closer than any other Skewb guide, I've seen, tbh... But in the end, you don't actually explain it, either) Normal cube notation has SIX directions, right? "L,R,F,B, U and D"... Because cubes have 6 faces But the Skewb rotates around its CORNERS, not its faces, right? And it has EIGHT corners, not six? So how can normal notation, with only SIX directions, describe the corner-centred rotation of the Skewb, which has EIGHT degrees/directions of rotation? Maybe I'm just a complete idiot, and there's some super-obvious answer to this question, which I'm missing... ...but I suspect it's the above issue (and a few other, similar issues, raised by the skewb twisting around its CORNERS, rather than around its FACES, like most puzzles we're used to), which is why so many people get confused/frustrated by Skewb. The two big, fundamental questions nobody addresses are... 1. Exactly how does normal notation apply, when the puzzle rotates around the CORNERS, instead of rotating around the FACES (like normal 3x3)? [Like, with 3x3 you hold the cube flat, with one face towards you, and it's OBVIOUS which face is "F" (the front one, facing you, duh...), and which is "U"... But with Skewb, you hold the cube the exact same way, and you now have FOUR corners which are all EQUALLY "front"... and another 4 corners, that are EQUALLY "up"... You see why noobs like myself find that confusing, right?] And (2) how does a notation system, which only has letters for SIX directions, work when you have EIGHT (corner-centred) axes' of rotation? Again, I'm not trying to be a prick- Just trying to clarify the stuff that a lot of us find confusing, which none of the "how to" guides seem to address...
