Badmephisto: Tutor of the Masters

Many speed solvers learned from Badmephisto's YouTube tutorials including Rubik's 3x3 champions and record holders. He may not be one of the best cubers but he is a good tutor as shown by his clear presentation of this video. If you are a newbie who wants to learn immediately than I suggest you watch Badmephisto's tutorial videos.

This video is a good start to learn intuitive F2L. You need to master intuitive F2L so that you can execute special cases in all angles of the cube. It also helps you in developing look ahead in your F2L solves because you can "see" clearly how the pieces rotates around the cube. Of course there are also important algorithms that you need to study that are considered "shortcuts" but these somewhat reduce your look ahead style.

The video tutorial has two parts. Take note that he is a mono color cuber (he always solves using the white cross). You can try dual opposite color cross solving and later if you are really serious, you can try color neutrality. It takes a lot of time to practice so I suggest you try to bring your cube whenever possible and solve it while waiting for a school bus or travelling, while talking to a friend, etc. etc.
