You did all of that for 17 likes....I hope you're happy .
I am happy! I did all of that for my own personal use, not likes, then shared to help the community. :D looks like some found it useful, which is great!
also, text editing wasn't a chore at all. VIM.
What's your PB? 59.099 here (modest, but that's fine. working on OLL, and I do 2 look PLL for now)
Thank u so much man... Appreciate your hard work
@@doodoostickstain mine is around 26, trying to improve F2L since it's the most important part of crop. Practice makes perfect!
WOW! I'm a rookie cuber at the age of 55! I just started cubing about 6 weeks ago. I can now solve the cube on my own without a video or cheat sheet. It take me about 4 minutes to solve, but now that I have a bunch of algorithms memorized and found this excellent video on finger trick...I can see my best time getting down to sub 1 minute. No plans to compete, I just want to improve my best time. Thank you! I'm currently handling the cube like a hand full of rocks, lol! Thanks again.
I"m 51 now, but first learned to solve when I was a freshman in highschool. I was sub 60 then, by doing all corners first then all edges. Never had a clue about all these other methods. Recently, i'm lucky to get under 2 minutes. By best time now is 1:41 using that same method I know so well. Now learning Roux and feel much the same as you... Just starting to learn fingertricks.
Hi James, glad to hear there are other people later in life having fun with the cube. I stuck at about 2-3 minutes using the beginner method. I would love to learn "Roux" or CFOP", but so far it's over my head. :) I'm going to look around my area to see if cubers meet up around here. I'm sure someone would tutor me for some extra cash. Thanks for the reply. Let me know if you find any good videos on the methods above if they break them down for newbies.
Thank you for the tip. I will take your advice and work on it slowly. I will check out his videos. Thank you again for your kindness. :)
I'm a bit like you too, started cubing in the early 1980s, then forgot the solution. Years later I'm back again and relearning the basic solution before going onto all the other methods. It's amazing how much there is on the internet!
Hey man, nice knowing about your progress. What cube do you use? If you use a Rubik’s brand, I would recommend switching to a speedcube.
even though I already know how to fingertrick this still helps me a bit
nice
Major props on going very slow and taking your time. I've seen too many tutorials where the person recording would rush it, making things confusing.
Thank you! Fantastic video. Exactly what I needed.
That cube with the fuschia color looks so dope!!
also really nice tutorial
Really wished that there was a video like this when I first started. Awesome video!
good to see you making videos again
The slowmo cam is extremely useful thank you!
Perfect. Was looking for this
Thanks for this video and for being active lately :-)
This helped me a lot!
Congrats on 50k subs!!!
You really do have to learn it all over again doing it this way. I guess if you want speed you have to. Thanks. Great video.
Wow you demonstrated the magic you can do with the cube and got claps . I need to find a video to learn it all. You inspired. Thanks
This was very helpful to me. I can solved the cube in about 3 minutes. I’m an old guy who
Needs to get his fingers moving. I’ve been all wrist after learning the beginners method. So, time to work
On finger control and speed. I can now do F2L, but very slowly. I’m now in a hurry, just want to solve the 3x3 under 1 minute routinely. Thank you
Again. 👍👍
Great video! Thanks!
RIP Cyo's Thunderclap.
Marcos Gonzalez what happened to it?
Marcos Gonzalez it's no longer his main
Watched your video 15 times and now i can impress my friends
A great, good, and helpful video thanks!
This is a masterpiece thanks a lot :D
You're the only one that explain every step for finger trick, step by step, great explain, u got my like :v, sorry, I'm not good at English
The sloMo sounds are perfect
Thank you so much ! You also learned me to do H permutation
This video is so good to help with finger tricking 10/10 good job👍
This is gonna be useful ! Ill watch it later through
Appreciate this, 2016 but there new people to cubing all the time. (like me). Thanks CTK.
Good stuff as always.
I have also experimented with doing F2 with pinky-ring, which is hella fast and could come useful for algorithms with adapted rotations.
For M moves I like to use my ring finger and drag the slice back from the front, instead of pushing it. I also sometimes use my pinky for M and M' if I want to be able to do both U and U's in that grip. Also, you can do B2 as ring-middle, but that's really only useful for scrambling and one bizarre but okay-ish Gb perm.
I loved the video!!!!!!
Chris is back
I learned all my finger tricks from you!
Cylo i love this video
A finger trick I use a lot is pinky ring for b2, or ring pinky if thats what you like. It is super useful if you want to put in a cross edge in the back without having to rotate.
Cool moves I learned it well
Thx alot for this video... really helped me out
i am leaning how to speed cube... i just know the basics to finish the cube but i really want to be a speedcuber... and one of my problems was moving my fingers... and the way that i should move them... thx ^^
my fingertricks are unique. usually I do layer turns like normal, but my 2 gens with U and M are like if I fridrich it. none the less, on video, some algs look really cool.
I can do my cube in around 3 minutes now. Laugh if you want, but I'm proud as hell about it. Going to learn these finger tricks to try and get my time down! :D
The best example for double flicks is the 4x4 oll parity alg.
Also pushing for U moves isn't as powerful as pulling with the nail side of the pointer finger with the left hand, like most people do with OH.
Thanks for the video chris :)
Thanks for the great video. Very well done and it has improved my time greatly. I am interested in what kind of Lube you use for your cubes?
Thank you
For M2 I use both ring fingers and alternate from right to left. It is very beneficial for H-perm
That's bad, how do you double flick the U? I used to do what you're saying for a long time until I learned to double flick the M2 with one hand and double flick the U2 with the other.
it's amazing
for the y perm i find it natural to use my left index at the end to finish it off, but i kind of regrip and put my thumb on the bottom and it flows really well, enough to not call it a regrip really
I can tell I am going to use that new m2 move a lot now...
I learned U2 and D2 by constantly doing and undoing the checker pattern with one hand, I would do U2 with index then middle finger then D2 with ring then middle, and switch hands, mainly just did it to learn to mirror the v-perm
this is gonna be helpful :)
I'm one of those people that does a U2 with that 1 finger push. I don't really do it that often but I do it a lot during z-perms. It just flows well for me haha
9:58 Started from the top now we're here :D
I push up from the bottom with the nail/knuckle nearest to nail of my right index finger for F' sometimes (especially J and Rb perms), its really fast even though literally no one else does it
10:41 "Jay McDeal?"
Anyway, amazing video! Thanks, hope to see you at another MD comp some time soon!
Yeah Jay works at macca's now thats why
I use the U2 at 5:05, but NOT for U2, if that makes sense. I kinda use it for the (R U R' U) trigger, and the like - such as with Na Perm (I do it [R U R' U] [Jb Perm] [U2 R U' R'], not Chris' or BadMephisto's method). I think it's really fast to do it like that, and I guess it's a good example of where fingertricking can be very versatile.
I found a really easy way to explain U/U' finger tricks to my friends. If they ask how, I tell them to keep their index finger at the back and bring their finger to their thumb while turning the cube.
ty
Jeez I never realized the habits you make as you cube, the way you put your finger in a certain area...I'm really self-conscious of myself now.
You should do this for one handed!
thank so much u helped me alot. xox ^-^
The weird U2 that you said that was uncomfortable is mainly used for OH. I use that U2 when doing OH sune
I first just want to say great video; a lot of good info for a beginner cube like myself. I do have a few questions though:
1: How long did it take for you to memorize F2L, OLL, and PLL?
2: I use the Newisland Phoenix stickerless cube, and it's not as smooth as your Thunderclap, so should I get a different cube?
Thanks in advance!
Which software you use for making videos editing
Sooooo much speed
So I'm this non-cubing guy who wants to start off learning these beginner algorhythms and I'm purely astonished by the speed you're able to solve this tiny little upsetting and obsessive thing called Rubiks Cube
Awww I'm pinky is never gonna change the direction of the cube!!
Hey Chris, I'm really looking forward to seeing you at Cubetcha 2016. Also I was wondering, I have this old (and i mean seriously old) rubiks 4x4, and I was hoping you could take a look at it and see if you recognize it. I've never seen a rubiks 4x4 with this color scheme, I looked it up and found out it's called the "japanese" color scheme and it said some of the earliest rubiks brand cubes had this scheme, but they changed it for some reason. Anyways, im really excited to see you there. :)
Thank u...
I use the QIyi Thunderclap 3x3
This made me realize I'm into cube asmr
cool
Great trick for D2! Still practicing it, but already got sub-1 on both A-perms! Btw I slowed down some of Felik's 3x3 competition videos to 1/4 speed, and apparently he uses pinky-ring instead of ring-pinky for D2?
I thought my speed was improving that I came here and realized I have a long way to go! LOL
I do F' with my right index finger when doing J and T perms because it's much faster than moving my finger out of the way to use my thumb.
can you use these tricks on girls?
HiroPiro depending on the position
If there is a cube involved there are no girls in sight.
HiroPiro when.you get one lol ROASTED
I wish
Fazer Gaming drugs much?
I use the F' index all the time, I can do it from the home position, so it's almost my default.
does anyone else use u push moves with T perms? I do it because its kind of awkward to have my right hand in that position.but of course I don't do push u moves in sexy moves because sometimes you can pull off the sexy move in algorithms so that you don't have to regrip in the middle of the algorithm. plus, I have sort of small hands, so I have to take off my middle finger from the back and release my ring finger just a little bit when I do the beginning of a T perm the way most people do them.
Chris will you be bringing that cube to Dixon Fall and if so can I try it?
what is the cube that u r using? and really rhis is the video that i was waiting for. thanks
I use my right pointer for the end of t-perm. Is this OK?
I do ring middle for D2
My favorite Algorithm for fingertricks is: R' U R U' do it about 6 times
Throwback to the days when I told him that I used pinky ring, and people commented Feliks did too, fun times.
im really struggling with the d2 with either hands anyway. i can do them but i think my fingers arent flexible to do it efficiently.
for U2 double flick I use middle-index rather than index-middle
Who landed here, intending to fix the regrab doing F? :)
Nice
I hate f moves
How do you get you Ms to move to soft, how loose is your cube?
I learned some of these finger tricks and, I gotta say, my girlfriend is so much happier with me now.
This was a cool video i just wish i had a magnetic speed cube, mine is so hard to turn using one finger.
can you make a video of speeding oll algorithms.. please..plzz..
Have you ever used lube for the cube in this video ?
I don't know how to do the F' with your left index finger. I have a lot of trouble because I cannot to it with my thumb in the front so I just regrip and do it. Please help me
should i get the gts2m or the valk 3?
My hands are too weak to do m flicks, so what can i do?
I have double joint fingers, I can do many weird things with my fingure. So whenever I cube, my ring fingure and pinky fingure freezes.
I do D2 with ring middle
How did you get so fast at the cube in general?
For a double d flick I use ring,middle.
which is better? yj yulong or yj guanlong
the beginning song is tobu right
I have a lot of trouble with ring-pinky D2 any tips?
Great vid, well made. No 60fps tho? D:
