- After 7 years of competitive Square-1, I try to solve the 4x4 Square-1, the Square-2. Let me know if I should do more videos on this puzzle!

I'm slow at Square-2 so here's the giveaway: gleam.io/sR0MJ...
Lol I literally just recorded this video but haven’t edited it yet 😆 And was going to use the exact same title. Do you mind if I still do? Loved your version btw! You’re way better at this than I am haha
I should also say that I was only going to release the video in a month or so probably.
Of course, you don't have to ask haha. Funny coincidence, how did your solve go though? Curious how similar our solutions were :)
hi
@@CubeMasterYT I started by seeing if I could solve each side completely then ended up doing what you did - reducing it to a square 1 and solving it that way. And would actually have finished it really quickly if not for the fact that I messed up the final adj parity alg like 3 times :'(
I actually did this video last month :D. I just reduced to SQ1 and solved from there
Great video Sam, this was a lot of fun to watch!
Thanks!
All his vids are a lot of fun
“Wow J perm did a lot”
**J Perm happy noises**
Interesting way to go about solving it. I just reduced it down to SQ1 and went from there. I uploaded a vid of me solving it back in November
Yours turns much better than mine though
I’ve always loved Rubik’s cubes and I thought all the other twisting puzzles would be too hard for me to find any fun in them, but recently I’ve really wanted a lot of the cut cubes and cuboids like this, it looks like a lot of fun now
When you went for layer by layer instead of reduction to SQ1, I was like noooo. I knew redux to SQ1 would be easier. But you got pretty close with it anyway. Good stuff. I want one! 😎
Pretty good video! It was so cool to see it slowly get solved, and the sounds of it turning was just really _satisfying_ 😌
Edit: Omg the relief when you finished it! 😍😅
Congrats! Now do a video where you speedsolve it by trying to reduce it to a sq1 from the start
Maybe! Been speedsolving it off camera and managed to get a sub 1 single. It's pretty fun!
i tried approach 2 and it seems SIGNIFICANTLY easier than what you tried
fun video though this was definitely interesting
After trying it off camera definitely agree! Still was fun to try blockbuilding though
Whenever you turned the normal square 1 after solving the square 2 for a while, it sounded so smooth and satisfying.
Yeah the Square-2 has the same mech as my main from 2014 lol
If you think the world records set on 2x2 3x3, 4x4, et cetera are stunning... Give it another 5 years. And Tymon, Max and Wong will be competing in events with puzzles like this. It is the natural evolution.
Wow! This looks fun
It definitely was!
That looked so cool!
I know that there's also square 3, basically square 1 on the top and square 2 on the bottom
Don't have that, maybe worth trying!
@@CubeMasterYT It's a confusing name. The Square-3 is a Square-2 with split edges... while the Square-3 Plus is a Square-1 on the top and a Square-2 on the bottom. As the original maker of the Square-3 Plus, I hate the name personally, but it's what Calvin wanted... I guess the Square-3 Plus is a little harder than the Square-2 if you're into that.
gj w the choice of background music lmao
haha thanks!
Nice congrats!
my god its if satins child had a child thats 2 times hellisher then him
Hi Sam. I Got a volt v2 m for christmas and I took it apart to do your volt v2 m setup and I found out the only one slice has magnets so its unstable and when I turn the U and D layers it will try to kinda corner cut with the slice. Do you know of anything I can do.
Hope it become and event and anyone csp tutorial
I just peel the stickers off..
My brain hurts watching this lol
Great video
This is crazy 😱
that is a loud cube
Calvin disregards price:preformance ration.
i think reduction would have been a way better method
try sq-0 it's 2x2 version of it it's cool isnt it?
At the end when trying to solve corners you could have just done adj/adj, also swapping 2 random edges on the bottom, instead of inflicting yourself the parity alg.
Yeah, realized it a bit later lol
Your thumbnail looks exactly like the thumbnails from jperm I literally tuaght you where jperm
As someone who is just understanding/solving sq1 this looks crazy😭
I don’t even have a square-1 lol
@@NotNochos I’d recommend getting one! It’s weird to get used to but it’s one of my favorite if not my favorite puzzle now, even though I don’t practice much
Next video SQ-3
Maybe!
i think almost everyone who watches this video wants or owns a square 2
/ 0,1 / -1,-1 / 1,0 /
I think that is kind of an adj-adj, but swapping adjacent pieces. You could have used it in the last layer.
Im new to square 1 and know how to solve it with tutorials but how do you learn the algs
When you did the parity algorithm instead of just /D/ it kinda killed me. You were gonna have to solve cubeshape anyway…
Yeah, made the ending more dramatic than it needed to be lol. Figured that out a day later haha
Ah yes, Sam, a Vanderbruh user, trying blockbuilding first.
Bad idea, blockbuilding is bad :(
@@CubeMasterYT it would be a lot better to do blockbuilding after reducing to a sq1.
Very nice try
How was the turning?
Oh hello
Oh hello
So square-2 means back to square twice, am I right?
And I wish this were a wca event, I like square-1 so I want this so badly lol
Speedsolving this is definitely fun!
@@CubeMasterYT and definitely pain.
nice
yo hello cube master i am a new subscriber i wanna win smthin for my first time
I just got the mgc squan for christmas and I love it. so satisfying to turn. But man I cant match ur speed. If i try to go fast, then I end up popping the cube. what do i do?
Glad you enjoy the event! The MGC Square-1 shouldn't ever really pop, so make sure you tighten it a good amount since it comes loose out of the box.
@@CubeMasterYT I mean it’s not really popping, I mean catching a lot more
@@ZenPapaya Catching is a bit harder to fix, probably best to not turn too fast and work on being accurate first. That's how I got fast at first!
@@CubeMasterYT oh wow thank you actually. I guess it was both popping and catching so when I tightened it, it was pretty much back to normal. Also, ya know how you set up a cube, then use it for months, then it dries up and you need to relube it, do you have to take apart the cube and do the whole set up and cleaning again or is there some way to simply insert the Lube without doing the whole set up process and cleaning again
it turns not so nice 😂😅
Lol because you only i know that there is a cube called square 2 ok wait a minute you told you are solving past 70 years so you are 71 grandpa 😂 lol just kidding dont take angry

I have faith in you
super nice video stay as you are ❤️🔥
I am so confused yet so happy you made it?
