The pieonedie it’s most likely fake... like a 5 move cross with 3 free f2l pairs, slight pauses and a sune (arguably the best I’ll case) with a u perm.
There's no way to solve nearly that fast with the beginners method cubes come with, which would be around 160-180 moves average. A name brand Rubik's cube is also stiff and doesn't let you cut edges. He's using CFOP, which is what most speed cubers use. Many more algorithms and takes much longer to learn, but much faster and way less moves.
I solve in about the same time as delphi and it made pretty decent sense, he's just demonstrating the individual steps of CFOP with some diagrams that aren't the main focus. Cross, F2L pairing, OLL, PLL. It's the same 4 steps that every CFOP user uses. If he was explaining Roux Last Six Edges I'd expect people to be confused.
That was an awesome cross. I like how you did the edge permutation with the solved bar facing you. You got super easy oll/plls and a f2l pair already formed. Sick solve.
Hi Guys! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR OVER 800k views! Now I'm working on new version of this film with help one of the fastest speedcubers in the world. So I hope it'll be worth of waiting. :)
I fully endorse this type of video. Showing the average person the amount of though and skill it takes to so something skillfully with speed. Thank you for this video.
A lot of the speedcubing thing is a lot less impressive than it looks. They usually just mix up the cube in specific way and then reverse what they did, which really just boils down to muscle memory. The cool stuff is when someone else mixes up the cube out of sight and then have them solve it. They still solve it quickly, but its not less than 10 seconds quick.
Nick Baynes: The official competitions always involve someone else mixing the cubes, and the very top competitors consistently get it under 10 seconds. Heck, the world record average is under 7 secs, and the world record single is less than 5. Sure, there are scammers out there on RU-vid, but the true elite speedcubers are freakin' impressive.
Still don't understand shit. Btw, did anyone else found this to be just like an epic fight scene in some crazy anime? I mean the part about "what speedcuber sees".
I would never have the patience to sit down and train myself to speedcube. After rewatching this video about 3 or 4 times, I finally picked up on what you were doing, but there's no way on earth I could ever take the time to get that good. Mad props, man.
OneBiasedOpinion It's about patience. Anyways some people like me likes other stuff like Poker or other card games so, mentally, you need a combination of natural talent and dedication. This things are not for me but I'm sure I'm a beast at other things, the same thing could happen to you, don't demotivate yourself :)
Enrique Vazquez Thanks for the encouragement! And I'm not really demotivating myself. I just know that this sort of thing would never work with my personality type. Now, you sit me down in front of a workbench chock-full of robotic parts, tools, and a computer with programming software on it, and you'll never get me back out of there until I pass out. :^)
Man, I've gotta say thank you for this video. I saw it 3 years ago few weeks after I learned to solve the Rubik's cube, and my mind was blown at the time. Now my global average is around 12~13s, with Full OLL and PLL :D !
+Dhanush Kuber I can solve a rubiks cube but i can't do it in less than about 3 minutes. I would love to learn a faster method. I think I am capable. 9 seconds is amazing!
+Melissa Cunill , that's really incredible !! Ur one among those people who can play with colors and unite them !! :D well , let me be frank .... my best time has been 74.34 seconds in solving it ! Ahm , yea I used to take around 3 minutes as well ! But the key to it aint about the "method" Melissa ! But the "way" you move the cube ! U gotta use ur fingers to move it . Then it moves even faster ! trust me , I m able to solve the same cube with the same algorithms faster ... just because I learnt how to "move it quickly"!! I would love to be of any help to u ! #Respect_you.
Dhanush Kuber As a 25 second solver with both roux and CFOP (PBs of 16.150 and 14.938, in the same order), I assure you that the method is one of the most important things to have a enjoiable and productive experience with the cube, but yes, if you wanna get fast, one of the first things you need to learn is basic fingertricks (that's how "the way you move" is called).
I'll never be a speedcuber, but was always curious about just what is happening in the thought process of people who solve lightning fast like this. This was fascinating and well made, thank you so much!
Yup. Got myself a cube for christmas. After 10 hours of practicing, I was already able to solve it in under 3 minutes, and now I"m at 1:30 with the beginner's method. Just learned f2l for cfop, gonna train that to be even faster.
But his ddrm and his pll were off a little he needed a bit more fil so fix it but he used a strange tactic of a gokl which is cool cause ive never seen it used like that
2 years ago this video got me into speedcubing :)! A couple of months ago I managed to get my first sub8 solve, never thought I could get there one day! Thank you Pitas96!
+HowTorigami456 "14 year old" matters to some extent because it limits the amount of practice time that he has had. Realistically that's probably only like 6 years of practice or something like that. Still a lot of time, but for reference I've known how to solve for about 10 years and I'm still really slow compared to a lot of people nowadays.
Oh my gosh, i remember watching this 3 years ago when i first started cubing. It brings back so much memories when i was a beginner. What do you average now?
not really my fasted time so far is 6.8 seconds which is close to the world record though i havent been able to go faster closest iv come to beating my record was 7 seconds flat
Well, actually the fastest is 3.5 up to date. But as soon as they release the cyber-augmentations to the public for us to have free will over our eyes will be able to track in which side each colored cube is on and thus we could solve it blind-folded. The mere ramifications of solving a Rubik's cube with "speed" for this day and age you must understand how the cube works, how the algorithms effect the solving of the cube (by where each piece is moved with the intentions of trying to solve one side at a time), and lastly someone's ability to comprehend the movement of the cube at high speeds. To an extent this is a form of "super human" ability.
Watched this 2 years ago now. At that time I was really amazed by these people called "Speedcubers". And after that 2 years, I am now one of them and joined my first ever official conpetition with great results.
baronvg Ideally, when one is solving, one uses their inspection time to figure out how to solve the white cross and memorize the moves so that it can be snapped out quickly as soon as the timer goes off. Not to discredit that practice or anything- this guy just solves fast too and lots of practice will do that.
+Spifflet he has to do oll for the video and show what it would look like on a normal solve. kind asucks that he only would get an oll skip when he doesn't want it.
Ok so everyone is saying that there was an oll skip case (and there was) but for the sake of the video he had to do oll. I bet he knew that there was an oll skip. And don't forget that this is not actually intended for cubers. The title is: what cubers see
No but in a speedcubers perspective it almost seems like it because of how fast we need to recognize certain cases and permutations on the cube. It's actually quite hard and it takes lots of practice.
Very intriguing! I've always wondered if speed solving was planned completely ahead for the most effcient pattern, or done in the normal steps and just very quickly. Maybe some people can plan it all out ahead, but this gives me confidence knowing that one can solve quickly without seemingly perfect mastery.
+Johan Bergqvist bisic OLL is 57 but you only need 8 for 2 look OLL which is not much slower. And you mentioned F2L is the fun part :) Try bigger cubes, maybe you'll like them more. Bigger percentage is intuitive than in 3x3 or 2x2.
+Henrik Rónai thank you, you're right :) I got a 4x4 cube and it was frustrating to do the edges but I think I've got it much better. Then I went back to a 3x3 and my time has gotten down to 54 seconds. My record before was 1:36 seconds. I don't know how. The thing is now. Should I start doing two finger or should I learn all algorithms in CFOP? :)
