I feel like sq-1 is one of the hardest wca puzzles to teach. It's a lot of "move this like this" and "experiment to find out how to do it" but you did a really good job explaining it! nice job!
Thanks DG! You helped me a lot. I saw a lot unboxings and reviews of QiYi Square-1 and I buyed one and after it came it took 2 minutes to scramble it and then i didn't know how to solve it and it standed on shelf for 6 months, then this evening I watched this tutorial and solved it! Thanks!
Thanks a lot bro. After wasting lots of time seeing other videos , I finally learned how to solve this square one. This is probably the best and easiest way to solve square one . Thank you so much.
Look up 1x1 Speedcube on Amazon. The tensions are already perfect and they have 45° corner cutting and reverse corner cutting. They come with Lubix and are very easy to use. Hope this helps!
I used this tutorial many years ago to solve my sq1. I recently found it again and didn't remember the algs. Came back here and the muscle memory is back!!!
Me: owns square-1 Also me: wants to solve it and watches tutorial After a while: ok so almost solved it DGcubes: but you might get this(parity) Me: doesn't own square-1 anymore but have some new cube pieces
thank you soo much! I was looking for a really good tutorial and here it is! finally I learnt how to solve the square-1 within 2 hours (incl. parity alg). PB today: 1:28.xx
Helped a lot. Thank you so much! I solved it in my car on the freeway. It was very disruptive and well thought out for easy instructions. Thank you again, and now to mix it up and watch again.
Watching someone solve a sq 1 is so satisfying. Just flipping your right hand up and down, doing finger tricks with the left... I need to get a square 1 jeez
OMG I finnally solved the Square-1. Yes, thank you for such a great Squan tutorial when all others failed. Now gonna memorize the algs to solve the squan myself :D
DGCubes I solved this confusing puzzle! Thanks a lot! And can you make a tutorial on how to solve the square-2 pls? I'm really looking forward to that :)
Thanks dg this really helped. I have had a square one for so long and I've had no idea what do do this was so helpful and now I just watch it I we and over again until I have the parity alg memorized because I still dont
it helps you so much when you know how to solve 3x3x2 in the corner part because if there is 1 white corner and 3 yellow then you align the last pieces that need to be orientated then you do mis-align the top layer and just do the 3x3x2 corner step.
Got this for Christmas(with magnets!) and spent hours yesterday to solve it intuitively without any tutorials or algs. Got surprisingly far but got stuck with the parity. I think I have cheat now and watch this.
"and then your square-1 will be solved" Me: very good "unless you have this *shows weird cube shape* if you have this you have parity" *ad shows* what a coincedence -_-
DGCubes, i had some trouble with edge permutation from Brandon lin's tutorial. i solve a square 1 around 1 minute but I always messed up on edge permutation but your tutorial made it so much easier for me! Thanks dude and continue on making great vids!
THANK YOU!!! I purchased a QiYi Sq-1 thinking I would be able to learn Sq-1 if I had a good Sq-1 (The Calvin's was my main) and all the tutorials were absolutely awful. Thanks to you, I almost know how to solve Sq-1. (Parity is the end of my life XD)
So I solved this puzzle with no help and no tutorial, and a long time later I thought I would try solving it again. Nope. I came so incredibly close. From five edges that need to move around, four edges and even three edges that need to swap like the appearance of the triple edge swap of the Rubiks cube. So frustrating. Then I got something you can’t get on most cubes. A two edge swap. Wtf?! Then I had to learn the name of this cube so I can find this tutorial! Anyway, I really hope this works. You are awesome.
Literally learned this within 2 days of finding this tutorial, so simple when u know what you're doing! Thanks DG, even if I am a year and a half late so u probably won't see this lol
Thank you SOOO much for clearing out that the slice does not have to be fixed, I hate those tutorials that don't clear stuff like that out and I get so confused
Thank you so much for this, this is the only tutorial that has made sense to me. I couldn't get the parity alg right for a while but I've figured it out now.
Hey thanks a lot man! I was having trouble with last layer corner and edge permutations and parity earlier, after this video I'm able to solve it pretty comfortably.
cubeshape 6 edges case - L shape 4:55 move 2 top edges past the turnline (2,0) bring the L up / move the line past the turnline (-3,0) bring the bottom edges to the other side and bring them back up (0,4)/ move the six to their own side (2,0) bring the line back up / (2,0)/(-3,4)/(2,0)/ Condensed algs: CS: / (-2, -4) / (-1, -2) / (U' D')/ EO: (1, 0) / (D') / (D') / (-1, -1) / (1, 4) / (D) / CP: / (U D') / (U') / (D) / (D') / (D) / EP: (-2, 0) /(U)/ (-1, -1) / (-2, 1) / Parity: (U') / (D) / (D') / (D) / (2, 0) / (0, 2) / (-2, 0) / (4, 0) / (0, -2) / (0, 2) / (-1, 4) / (D') / (D) Swap layers: / (U2 D2) / Equator flip: / (U2) / (U2) / (U2) M2: (1,0)/(-1,-1)/(0,1) Fingertricks for parity (for now): index pinch the (2,0). thumb drag the (-2,0) and ring drag the (4,,0).
Thank you sooo much daniel! I finally got every algorithm down in only 3 days!!! This tutorial is hecka well made and I'm really glad you made it! I used to think squan was very hard and too much memo but I understand now. thx bby
I managed to solve mine for the first time :D thank you so much this is the first actual good tutorial that I have came across and it actually worked thank you so much!
Got my Square-1 solved just because of you! You are amazing! Your teaching method is one of the best (and Legoboys3's too)! I just want a reply from you! I am your one of the greatest fans!
Awesome tutorial!!!! When will your tips and tricks video come up? Also, I'm really slow at Cubeshape but I'm improving with the rest. Can you give me any advice for it? Also, to orient and permute some of the pieces, I have to flip the middle slice using your algorithm and it takes up a substantial amount of time. Do you have any tricks for that too? Thanks!!

True. I can't even solve one yet!
It's easy when you know it doe.. Im sub 15
So true.... But tricky to lern
+TheNinjaCuber parity is the worst part xD
yoooooo
Can you quickly explain when exactly you have to constantly slam the cube on the table?
Tyler Dunphy when you get parity
i feel bad for your 13x13
cause why the heck not
Tyler Dunphy lol
Tyler Dunphy because it's a square 1 lol it's a colored pockets reference
Why am i watching this if i even dont have a square 1
Lol
ThePeppe0000 me too but mine is coming
ThePeppe0000 me too lool
same
So that if you get one you’ll know how to solve it (i don’t have one either)
algs
cube shape: 5:27
edge orientation 7:51
corner permutation 9:21
edge perm 11:48
parity 14:40
His by far the best tutorial video I have ever seen
Thanks DG! You helped me a lot. I saw a lot unboxings and reviews of QiYi Square-1 and I buyed one and after it came it took 2 minutes to scramble it and then i didn't know how to solve it and it standed on shelf for 6 months, then this evening I watched this tutorial and solved it! Thanks!
Thanks! This is the first tutorial i could watch without falling asleep...
lol
CerealKillerOats maybe him slamming the cube on the table woke you up
ZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZzz Wait what did you say?
Lol
I take two hours to fall asleep sometimes three hours xd
Thank you so much! This is the first understandable SQ1 tutorial I've seen. This video is the reason why I'm finally able to solve mine! Thanks DG!
Awesome! So glad I was able to help! :)
Oh me too
@@DGCubes your tutorial is still the best thanks bro
I liked square1 until i saw the parity alg
YLK Rubiks same
it breaks the square-1 unless it is stickerless.
Bleach Clorox that is very relateable.
There is a stickered version of th QiYi
go look at a video called "easy way to memorize parity" by 2 epic asains
Thank you Daniel, I am thinking about getting a Sq-1, but was worried about the lack of good tutorials.
Lol the amount of times that he dropped it on the table I was waiting for it to burst
Lol
me to
Thanks a lot bro. After wasting lots of time seeing other videos , I finally learned how to solve this square one. This is probably the best and easiest way to solve square one . Thank you so much.
Does anyone know how to make a 1x1 corner cut better? I tried changing the tension and lubing it but it just doesn't work. Should I get another one?
definitely get a new one. You must have gotten a crappy brand 1x1 because newer brands are definitely able to corner cut great.
Scott Petersen Dump 4 bottles of silk on it.
I recon you should replace the springs. ;-)
MJBCuber vv
Look up 1x1 Speedcube on Amazon. The tensions are already perfect and they have 45° corner cutting and reverse corner cutting. They come with Lubix and are very easy to use. Hope this helps!
Thanks DG, this was the first video I watched to learn square-1, right now I want to become officially top 25 in the world since I average low 9.
jeez whats your promblem always slamming the cube what did it do to you 1 like=1 prayer for the cube
omg LOL! XD
This made my day😂😂😂
he's probably the edgy cuber in the cubing community? i guess?
Casey neistat of cubing
Nice one😂😂
Love this tutorial, easy to follow and solving it easily.
My algorithm: U' R' D' U' M' B'
Lol
I used this tutorial many years ago to solve my sq1. I recently found it again and didn't remember the algs. Came back here and the muscle memory is back!!!
Me: owns square-1
Also me: wants to solve it and watches tutorial
After a while: ok so almost solved it
DGcubes: but you might get this(parity)
Me: doesn't own square-1 anymore but have some new cube pieces
@Veerinder Pal Kaur woosh
Thanks soooooo much DG. I'm the guy who asked about the Dreampark cubes and I love your videos. You are my favorite TH-camr
thank you soo much! I was looking for a really good tutorial and here it is! finally I learnt how to solve the square-1 within 2 hours (incl. parity alg). PB today: 1:28.xx
Nice job!
Helped a lot. Thank you so much! I solved it in my car on the freeway. It was very disruptive and well thought out for easy instructions. Thank you again, and now to mix it up and watch again.
Only reason I have a square 1 is to throw at a wall
colorful pockets reference?
yup
Every one knows that but square one is awesome
DUGSPI!
HEY
LoL i was just having the parity when i messed up the parity alg
Thanks DGCubes! This is the only tutorial I could understand to learn how to solve square-1. I finally solved it!
Awesome! Glad I could help!
Here is my thanks-parity alg.
\ (0, 0) /
Thank you!
Hahaha, that's awesome. Glad I could help. :)
DGCubes How fast can I get with this method?
Thank you DG I just got my qiyi square 1 in the mail and already know how to solve it! This tutorial was better than any one else's. Thanks!
Yay! Glad I could help out! :D
12:51 You mean an EDGEucated guess.
Hahahahaha
DG, I just saw this video and I could tell immediately that it would really help me to be able to solve the square-1, knowing what I'm doing.
:D
But I saw it right before I went to camp for a week. I got back and almost immediately watched it and I can do it really well now.
Watching someone solve a sq 1 is so satisfying. Just flipping your right hand up and down, doing finger tricks with the left... I need to get a square 1 jeez
Yeah, it's a really fun event. You should get one. :)
+DGCubes too bad i get to order cubes once ~every two months :(
I know the feeling :(
THIS IS SO CONFUSING!!! I've watched it 10 times and still barely get notations... but this is still the best tutorial
OMG I finnally solved the Square-1. Yes, thank you for such a great Squan tutorial when all others failed. Now gonna memorize the algs to solve the squan myself :D
It's square 1
6 years later and your video is still helping others!
Probably the best tutorial on you tube
But that parity,!!
Thanks! And yeah parity's a bit tough, but good luck! :)
Thanks for making this tutorial! It really helped me out.
(Emphasis on really)
Thx dg! this tutorial helped a lot!
Glad I could help! :D
Do u remember me from INSTAGRAM? Just curious... not a stalker
What? I don't have an Instagram. Maybe you got confused by one of the fake DGCubes accounts?
Oh! Then is havioc_gamingextreme1 is not u?
Nope. I have no social media other than TH-cam (and Speedsolving, if you count that).
I'm getting a square 1 on Saturday (volt v2 m if anyones wondering) and this is detailed so ima use this to learn thank you.
DGCubes I solved this confusing puzzle! Thanks a lot! And can you make a tutorial on how to solve the square-2 pls? I'm really looking forward to that :)
Its the same xd
Thanks dg this really helped. I have had a square one for so long and I've had no idea what do do this was so helpful and now I just watch it I we and over again until I have the parity alg memorized because I still dont
I'm gonna buy my square 1 next month in October so should I go with yuxin little magic square 1?
Prabuddh Mathur yeah that’s the best one
thankyou. I will be buying my first square 1 because of you. you did a great job explaining everything. I appreciate this tutorial.
FOR ONCE THIS TUTORIAL DIDNT MAKE ME QUIT
Slamming aside, this is definitely the best tutorial I've seen.
I solved it! Best tutorial ever!
it helps you so much when you know how to solve 3x3x2 in the corner part because if there is 1 white corner and 3 yellow then you align the last pieces that need to be orientated then you do mis-align the top layer and just do the 3x3x2 corner step.
They see me Rollin, they hate it, WHEN I SOLVE MY SQUAN IN FRONT OF THEM!
Lol
Got this for Christmas(with magnets!) and spent hours yesterday to solve it intuitively without any tutorials or algs. Got surprisingly far but got stuck with the parity. I think I have cheat now and watch this.
omg i did parity i am allsome thank you dg!
yep you sure are allsome
lol
Thank you so much DGCubes, quality tutorial with great explanation.
Helped me solve my first square 1. wish you the best!
"and then your square-1 will be solved"
Me: very good
"unless you have this *shows weird cube shape* if you have this you have parity"
*ad shows*
what a coincedence -_-
DGCubes, i had some trouble with edge permutation from Brandon lin's tutorial. i solve a square 1 around 1 minute but I always messed up on edge permutation but your tutorial made it so much easier for me! Thanks dude and continue on making great vids!
So happy I could help! :D
Wait... for real? i thought you were just going to smash it against a wall then say it was solved.
Thanks a lot dgcubes you were the only person who explained it in a way that made sense. Keep up the good work!
Aw, thanks! Glad it helped! :)
why does he keep throwing his square 1 on the table
The real question is... why don't you?
Can we get a RIP Square 1 in chat? This poor puzzle has been abused with a hand and a table. The poor thing...
dg how do you switch 2 edges only
Monika Twal do the parity algorith
It is the most important part of solving it XD
The best tutorial ever it’s not complicated like the other ones
What if your singing is really bad?
Potato.
don't sing
autotune. it never stopped most of today's more famous music artists.
Do Re Mi, there's a algo for that.
THANK YOU!!! I purchased a QiYi Sq-1 thinking I would be able to learn Sq-1 if I had a good Sq-1 (The Calvin's was my main) and all the tutorials were absolutely awful. Thanks to you, I almost know how to solve Sq-1. (Parity is the end of my life XD)
:D :D :D :D
Happy I could help! :)
Thanks again!!
I FIGURED OUT PARITY AND I'M SUPER HAPPY!! THANK YOU AGAIN!!!
are you good at math
........
this has nothing to do with math.
it has nothing to do with math but i am good at math
It's a joke guys lol
dat name tho
You made me so confident when you said you(me) can do it at the end 14:32
Thanks so much for this tutorial!!! I got a 4.05 unofficial world record single!! Thank you!!!

:D
thanks so much solved the square one and i can now solve it everytime without watching video or looking at algs thanks again man
Oh gosh I just received my square-1 today and was finding a tutorial, and you uploaded one XD Thanks so much!
Awesome! Glad I could help! :D
Thank you so much for this, this is the only tutorial that has made sense to me. I couldn't get the parity alg right for a while but I've figured it out now.
thx. this is the only video that had helped me. I just got a qiyi today and I already know how to solve it
Omggg yesssss two people parity=DG Cubes rest=legoboyz3 yesss both of u guys are awesome
I literally learned this the first try. BEST VIDEO EVER!!!!
Eyy, thanks! Glad I could help! :D
Best tutorial ever and saved me from hours of frustration

Awesome, glad I could help! :)
ok this was the EASIEST tutorial i have seen since i got my square1
I love the way dis guy motivate me to learn the parity algs LOL
thanks dg this finally helped me solve my square one
Thanks so much for this video DG! I bought a sq - 1 at nats today, and this video has helped me more than any other. :)
That's awesome! Happy I could do that for you! :)

Finally a square 1 tutorial i can understand. Keep making vids like this :) thnx
Thank you! Happy to help! :D
This was really helpful! Thank you DGCubes! You even helped me with parity!
I know this video is quite old, but thanks a lot Daniel, I am finally able to solve my sq-1 after it being scrambled in my closet for a year. :)
Thank you sooo much daniel! I finally got every algorithm down in only 3 days!!! This tutorial is hecka well made and I'm really glad you made it! I used to think squan was very hard and too much memo but I understand now. thx bby
So happy I could help!! Thanks for the compliments. :)
DGCubes squan is like one my favorite events now! i got a pb of 23 yesterday!!! :D
DGCubes also the motivation at parity really helped me lol
That parity algorithm physical hurt me, but after like half an hour of slowing down the video I finally got it, thanks!
I managed to solve mine for the first time :D thank you so much this is the first actual good tutorial that I have came across and it actually worked thank you so much!
Got my Square-1 solved just because of you! You are amazing! Your teaching method is one of the best (and Legoboys3's too)! I just want a reply from you! I am your one of the greatest fans!
Awesome!! So glad I could help, and thanks for the compliments! :D
wow you learned from a crappy tutuorial but you explain it much better than the cubologist
I just got my own square-1 and this tutorial helped me a lot. Thanks
Glad I could help! :)
love this video, helped me learn how to solve a square one in just 30 minutes!
Thanks so much DGCubes! I didn't know how to solve square-1 but now I do!!! thanks again. :-)
YOU ARE amazing cuber i have never seen such an awesome guy like you! you rock man
You are a beast you Are LITERALLY my new favourite youtuber
Aw, thanks so much!! :)
Awesome tutorial!!!! When will your tips and tricks video come up? Also, I'm really slow at Cubeshape but I'm improving with the rest. Can you give me any advice for it?
Also, to orient and permute some of the pieces, I have to flip the middle slice using your algorithm and it takes up a substantial amount of time. Do you have any tricks for that too?
Thanks!!
Hey bro congrats i checked all the square 1 videos and yours has the most views toping other videos at 240k+ views, congrats
Whoa, cool! Thanks! :)
This is the best square 1 tutorial ever
Great tutorial. Explained everything very well without leaving anything out.
Thank you! :D
Thank You so Much! This Tutorial helped soo much. I couldn't find a decent video nor a site until I found this video.
You're welcome! So glad I could help! :)
