For cross number 10, there is a much more intuitive 8-move solution. With green center facing you (but works with any center) F B U2 R' F L' B D. Great video CubeHead!
For level 6, you can also face orange and do U' R2' F L B to avoid the B2. Left hand starts at home grip and right hand starts with thumb on the U face and other fingers on the D face.
hi cube head!! love ur vids man. ur the best. i got inspired to do cubing because of u and now I can solve a cube in less than a min. thank you so much!!!!!i hope u are reading this comment.
This is a great video for getting people motivated to focus more on cross. However, I think it probably should also be mentioned that movecount is not the only thing in a cross solution that matters. The best examples in this scramble set would probably be level 2, where z2 F R2 F R leaves you with a free pair, level 4, where you should probably do L2 before the last two moves, and level 6, where z2 L' R' F' B' U' R' F D2 is an x-cross.
I absolutely love this video. Its a great cross trainer for people who need their cross improved. Your tutorials helped me so much, and because of that, i am now sub 20.
Nice video! Not only is it good training for the cross, but I got good practice finishing the solve as fast as possible so I could go on to the next level exercise. I only got 8 points, but I think this exercise itself really helped me.
great video! I've been working on improving my cross and the exmaple solves (WITH EXPLANATION) are really helpful, please keep them coming! (level green, just in case someone wants to know who wmuch I suck...but YES, I do cube! niet zo brutaal doen, he!)
More videos like this please, maybe on your second channel? The cross is maybe my weakest part of the cube, my PR is 24.xx, obviously with an easy cross. This really helped me incrementally improve, and it was extremely useful to increase in difficulty this way. Random solves / crosses from random generators are varying difficulty, often hard, and its too easy to give up.
This was a great idea, really enjoyed it. Would love some more. Particularly if you could make them following a particular skill or move or pattern in cross solving so we can get some repetition in to help recognition
Im just learning CFOP and learning the bottom cross after doing a semi-beginner method with top cross for awhile. I was able to get the first three even though my solutions were much less efficient. I did observe some things though that I think will make my solves more efficient
I got a 9! Can predict most of them but not the optimal solutions. Love this content, it is such a great idea for teaching cubing methods and improving
okay, so I tried this challenge again today and I scored 17 points! Number 4 was horrible, but I solved all crosses within 8 moves and I had the perfect solution for 4 of them :D I can still get a lot better, but it's progress :) BTW, I added a personal little challenge "solve the rest of the cube while Milan is explaining the cross solution"
I can only start on white (as someone who averages 7.1 I don’t recommend) so my crosses aren’t great, but I plan two pairs more than half the time so that makes up for it
I got all of them but this was hard! Since almost all crosses can be solved in 6 moves or less, I was always second guessing myself on the scrambles that required more.
Nice vid very helpful but i think its not all about the least amount of moves you do it also depends on the speed sometimes you can do a 6 and an 8 moves cross solve and the 8 one is might be better depending on where your hand is after each turn
Hello cube head this is my moves (im a beginner) Level 1: 3 moves must be 2 Level 2: 6 moves must be 3 Level 3: 8 moves must be 4 Level 4: 9 moves must be 5 Level 5: 14 moves must be 6 Level 6: 10 moves must be 5 Level 7: 22 moves must be 6 Level 8: 16 moves must be 7 Level 9: 15 moves must be 7 (i think i did the wrong scramble...) FINAL: 17 moves must be 8 Thanks cubehead message this comment if it's okay Bye!
Hey Cube head😁you Are my favorite TH-camr😍I average 23,9 seconds😃And i’m trying to get sub 20😅but it’s soooo! hard🙈😫but I found that it is the cross where I need the most help. This is SOOOOOO helpful to se if I have improved😀😀😀😀😀it would be helpful if you can make some other videos about the cross. Just with other scrambels😄😀
for level 7, the one you showed is the move optimal solution, but I would prob do an easier 7 move solution in an actual solve cuz it has easier fingertricks (no B moves). i saw the 6 move solution but I chose the 7 move one
I am a Cross Captain. But I have an official 11 second average so the cross is definitely holding me back. But where can I find more examples?? It’s difficult to identify the most optimal solution myself even without regarding inspection time. Great video though, keep up the Cross advice!
I found another way for level 9. Here’s how it looks from different faces of the cube with white on top: Green: F’ U F’ U2 L’ F’ U’ Red: R’ D R’ D2 B’ R’ D’ (Edit:this one is with yellow on top) Orange: R’ U R’ U2 F’ R’ U’ (I think this one is the best) What do you think?
Honasty that was realy fun me and my friend are cross concurors but respectfully f you xd. We struggled for 1 and a half hours at the last two crosses. Keep those Videos up❤
i found a solution on all 10, and i found an optimal solution for all but 3, 5, 6, and 9. my solutions for 8 and 10 were different then the ones in the video, but im still counting them. total score 16
My points are either 14 or 16 depending on how you judge my solution on 5 and 7 I did lvl 5 a little differently and it was a 5 move solution, 1) here it is, what do you think of it? With the orange solved edge in front and down and green edge top and behind the cube :- B2 D' R' (F B') D2 well its still a 6 move solution but you do the F and B' together so i counted it as 5 Then in lvl 7 i did:- yellow top green front:- D B' D R' (F B') D you can consider this a 6 mover too because you are essentially doing F and B' together
obviously your solutions are great, and one move extra doesn't have much influence on speed in real solves, however F B' (even though they can be executed simultaneously) are considered to be two moves :) 14 is still great tho!
11 I am cross captain lol(I planned putting the whote green edge after the U'🤦♂️) My score: Level 1-2 Level 2-1 Level 3-1 Level 4-0 Level 5-2 Level 6-2 Level 7-2 Level 8-0 Level 9-1 Level 10-0 (it accidentally got deleted after I finished I needed to rewrite it and remember

Was sub 10 4-5 months ago
Had not cubed for 4 months untill this video
THANK YOU MILAN FOR BRINGING ME BACK IN CUBING

Really nice video I would love some more episodes like this
so close to cross master! learned some neat things, if you havent already planned on doing this for the rest of cfop pleaseee dooo!!

Bro made us do math during summer break and thought we wouldn’t notice
One of the best cross videos I have ever seen: well done 👏
I love it, this video shows me where my cross skill level is. I hope you will do part 2 so I need to improve my skill (sorry for my bad English )
Nice video! Ive been watching you since 2021, and i average 15 because of you now!
As always great and as always thank you
for level 10 for me the most intuitive solution is:
U‘ R2 U2 R (F+B at the same time) R‘ D2 R2
doesnt matter what colour you are looking at.
For level 6 you can face green front and yellow up and do L' U F' R' F' B' D2
Yo cubehead i love ur tutorial videos and i think u should keep doing them. I also think u could make a website w/ all tutorials
great idea
and milan struyf luv ur content best quality and humour of any cubing channel.... u killin it u better than JPERM
I like this video. Just that some of the solution might be move optimal but there might be solutions that are better for fingertricks
100%, but the goal of this video is just figuring out the optimal solution
Im just learning CFOP and learning the bottom cross after doing a semi-beginner method with top cross for awhile. I was able to get the first three even though my solutions were much less efficient. I did observe some things though that I think will make my solves more efficient

Same, I ended up with more than 1 or 2 moves
I got 14 points btw, I also average around 20s

FYI Cubehead. You forgot to add the end screen. 😬
Btw, great video! I think this is a very effective way of teaching cross.

Nice video!

Love my yoo cubes 🤙
This was released at the right time since I was pracficing cross haha!
Very good video you should make more vids like this btw I got cross captain
I got all of them but this was hard!
Since almost all crosses can be solved in 6 moves or less, I was always second guessing myself on the scrambles that required more.
Great video!
Yooo thanks for the skill check
Great vid!
Love this music)
Thanks!
@@CubeHead Hi Cubehead,are you going to post this video for everyone? Cuz I want to send this to my friend
yes I am, tomorrow :)
Beautiful I loved the idea
And I am the cross conqueror
Yo
I got 12-13. This was really helpful. I struggle to predict the cross even though I have a good number of sub-20 solves lol.
Man somehow I got 15 points, I guess I need to do it again
optimal cross solution isn't always the shortest though. you very often will get better 1st pair/xcross with 2 more moves which is alot better
Nice vid very helpful but i think its not all about the least amount of moves you do it also depends on the speed sometimes you can do a 6 and an 8 moves cross solve and the 8 one is might be better depending on where your hand is after each turn
This was a really good video
for the last one, a more ergonomic solution would be
(from any angle) F' R B' R2 F2 L F' D
18 points, pretty proud of myself, couldn't find the optimal solution for 7 and 8
Hello cube head this is my moves (im a beginner)
Level 1: 3 moves must be 2
Level 2: 6 moves must be 3
Level 3: 8 moves must be 4
Level 4: 9 moves must be 5
Level 5: 14 moves must be 6
Level 6: 10 moves must be 5
Level 7: 22 moves must be 6
Level 8: 16 moves must be 7
Level 9: 15 moves must be 7 (i think i did the wrong scramble...)
FINAL: 17 moves must be 8

figuring out level 9 is the smartest thing I have ever done in my life
I love cubehead❤
I only managed to get to level 4. But for the last one you could just do this: U` R` F L` B D2 R` L`. It’s a bit more intuitive.
Do this for F2L next!!
Great vid! (I got 15/20 points).
level 1 to 3: 6 points total
level 4 to 8: 5 points total
level 9 to 10: 4 points total and level 10 has a 6 move cross solution of the yellow side?
Very nice challange, mabye f2l like this next?

level 3 yellow cross was pretty good.
I found another way for level 9. Here’s how it looks from different faces of the cube with white on top:
Green: F’ U F’ U2 L’ F’ U’
Red: R’ D R’ D2 B’ R’ D’ (Edit:this one is with yellow on top)
Orange: R’ U R’ U2 F’ R’ U’ (I think this one is the best)

Great video👍
I would appreciate a similar video for F2L
As a Roux user, I see this as an absolute win
Honasty that was realy fun me and my friend are cross concurors but respectfully f you xd. We struggled for 1 and a half hours at the last two crosses. Keep those Videos up❤
Nice Concept
Cubehead, awesome vids
Are you doing this for f2l,Oll and pll
The fact that I gained 2 points in level 9 but 1 point in level 2 is horrifying
i found a solution on all 10, and i found an optimal solution for all but 3, 5, 6, and 9. my solutions for 8 and 10 were different then the ones in the video, but im still counting them.
total score 16
Your good at the cross if you ATLEAST get 7 moves to align the cross
For the last scramble : (yellow on top, green on front) F B R’ L’ D2 F B D’
Wow that first one was coincidentally easy AF.
My points are either 14 or 16 depending on how you judge my solution on 5 and 7
I did lvl 5 a little differently and it was a 5 move solution,
1) here it is, what do you think of it? With the orange solved edge in front and down and green edge top and behind the cube :- B2 D' R' (F B') D2 well its still a 6 move solution but you do the F and B' together so i counted it as 5
Then in lvl 7 i did:- yellow top green front:- D B' D R' (F B') D you can consider this a 6 mover too because you are essentially doing F and B' together
obviously your solutions are great, and one move extra doesn't have much influence on speed in real solves, however F B' (even though they can be executed simultaneously) are considered to be two moves :) 14 is still great tho!

Could You also do this for F2L, since I think a lot of people think they are good, but they aren't, like me😅
8:56 j perm showed the optimal solution for this cross in one of his videos
I'm a cross conquered simply because I always inspect cross in time I just had sub optimal solutions for like 5 scrambles.
I only predict the first 2 or 3 cross piece, somehow I got 15 points, I guessed I cheated...
