![[2x2] How to get FASTER with Ortega!](/img/n.gif)
Quarrantine got me learning how to solve cubes lol
Same. I learned a 2x2 in under 20 seconds and a Pryaminx in like 1 minute. Now itâs the 3x3 that I canât figure out
@@cochran3112 so your telling me you solved a pyraminx before 3x3 impressive also 2x2 algorithms are the same as beginners method corner algorithms on a 3x3
PhxntomFN- NGU yeah I figured out the 3x3 like last week. The Pyraminx is the easiest out all of them for me
Damn quarantine was 11 months ago

Thanks for having it a lot more in-depth than other videos :)
I don't see any comments who have done this so here:
Sune: 5:29
Anti-sune: 5:38
Sexy hammer: 5:54
2 diagonal: 6:10
Hammerhead: 6:27
Bar side bar top: 6:50
Double bars: 7:04
Thank me later
A comment listed everything.
ty bro
Itâs in description btw
Thank you
dang, you are the only person I actually learned it from. Normally I would get it from J Perm but even I didn't understand it so I went to one that looked good and that was yours. Thank you
Same bro
You are the best at teaching people, I searched so many Ortega methods on CZcams and couldnât find any that help me except this video, thanks! Also I am watching the pyriminx video!
Case 1 7:51
Case 2 8:38
Case 3 9:32
Case 4 10:13
Case 5 10:38
Thank you
I just learned to solve a 2x2 cube 3 days ago now I have the actual cube I had to use an app this video so far is very understandable I have subbed to you thanks for the great content
One layer solved plus one bar (step 3): 7:56
One layer solved with no bars (step 3): 8:38
No layer solved with a bar on each layer (step 3): 9:32
No layer solved with only one bar (step 3): 10:15
No layer solved and no bars (step 3): 10:50
Thanks I've been watching tons of videos and I finally solved it thanks man
Best guide on CZcams for 2x2!
Thank you so much for help
Thank you so much! I ordered 2x2 cube and I forgot how to solve it, I saw your video and it helped a lot! So easy! Thank you âșïž
Thanks man! Rellay appreciate your awesome tutorials
Man, when i was first learning how to solve the rubiks cube (2x2) you really help
you helped me incredibly thanks so much!
You asked for 20 likes, you got 100x more than that! Lol
More like 2000
@@zborn5570 yea there is a difference of 4 months beetween you soo....

bro this is the beat tutorial. I just need to learn the algorithms and Iâll be set
no cap, best tutorial for ortega 2x2
He asks for 20 likes and gets 3.4k nice!
Thanks for video :D
Thanks bro now I know Ortega
It took me a while but I solved for the first time in my life. Thank you. LIKE!!!
Great video lot more in depth, Helped a lot!
Your 2 x 2 Beginner Method video is the best on CZcams, in fact the only beginner tutorial on CZcams that explains it properly. I'm posting this here because comments aren't allowed on that video. I might eventually progress to the Ortega method....
It works u where going to fast so I thought I had to re start then it worked and I was SO happy and if I mix it up again I will find this vid so ty so much
thanks that helped a lot
!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH NEW SUB
hey thanks I didn't know you could solve it with just Sune and J-perm. Pretty neat.
Bro it took me abt 3 years to finally solve it! Thx for the help!
7:58 I usually put the unsolved blocks in front and do: R' F R' B2 R F' R' B2 R2
Can someone tell me why this isn't used since it's shorter, I'm not a big cuber so idk
Itâs because it uses b moves. Especially for 2x2 people donât typically use b or d moves because it is easier to turn R U F and L. And the algs are performed faster that way
@@nicnapier oh thanks man, now I know
Even I use this algorithm
Toxic 10 for PBL I do R Bâ R F2 Râ B R F2 R2
Less B moves but a Bâ which causes a really awkward turn that confuses me into doing b sometimes
Great vid helps a lot
Thanks man!Great video btw
Itâs so smooth
Thank you for showing what to do for different cases. Because mine never matched to what the more popular videos were doing I got so confused on doing the next steps. I finally solved it lol
OMG TYSM!!!!! BEST TUTORIAL! (now i will stop struggling ty)
you gained a subscriber
For the first time you made this method work
Glad I could helpđđ
Best Tutorial ever!!!! Better that everyone else :)
awesome vid helped alot
Great explanation.
I watched a bunch of videos on how to solve a 2x2 none of them really worked but then I tried yours I solved it thank you
You are a life saver. I have watched every Ortega method there is and never understood them, but I did on your video. YOU ARE SUCH A LIFE SAVER TO ME!! Thank you~~
Best tutorial ever it always works and would definitely would recommend
This helped me
Very clear tutorial.
This is the best Ortega method on CZcams!!! I got it!
this is very helpful thanksđ
bro iâm getting my 2x2 tomorrow and iâm so hyped to watch this video again to learn
Nice!
@@nicnapier IM GETTING IT IN LIKE 20 MIN
this was very useful
Bro this tutorial is the best I like it very much and u explain it very well thx this is the best tutorial ever đ
I subbed to you because I solved my cube
thx you so much you are the best you got a new sub
Amazing video!
Thanksđ
Thanks man this really helped me solve a 2x2 faster
Thank you very much
for case 2 of pbl you can just hold the bars on the top and do R Uâ R F2 Râ U Râ
loved the tutriol good job
omg hypercuber loved my commet im a big fan love you hyper
Thanks so much.
Omg dude i Soved IT under 1 Hour. Omg thx so much 1st time i solved a cube
Great job. It feels good to finally solve it right? đđ
HyperCube ye it does thx again
New subscriber! đđ
This was on my recommendation page
đ
thank you
It was really helpful brođ
LOVE this video... I wish you had this in printable form. Everyone Ortega method does not match what you show here. Still wonderful tutorial!
Thx ur awesome
No youâre awesome!
Thanks a lot
Thank you
Thanks!
đđ
One corner is sune and anti sune 5:32
One bar on the right and other pieces on top and bottom is hammer 5:56
2 diagonal (no name) 6:12
No pieces is hammerhead 6:35
Two bars on each side 6:55
none on top and two bars each side 7:10
Brilliant explanation! Ortega is really quick and easy but only downside is too much memorisation for me
Indeed it is, you can average under 5 seconds if you practice a lot.
@@notjackreacher2483 how am i getting a notification from a comment i made 10 months ago
@@NobbleMan oh dang
I didnât even read when your comment was made đ
Thank you so much it helped my son!
You are very welcome đđ
thanks for the help:)
No problem đ
Awesome
Thx đ
I rewatched the video from ten to twelve last night trying to memorize the algorithms
It took me a day to learn them all. It is best to write them down and take your time. đ also be sure to practice each one for the next few days otherwise you will forget
@@nicnapier Yeah I just learned how to solve a 3x3!And I forgot the steps afterđ
Alyssa Weatherspoon Did you memorize them?
thats hard@@fixonbiased
Alyssa Weatherspoon
I stayed up for 2 days trying to figure it out. đ
Best one so far
Niceeeeeeeeeee
Great vid man! đ
Genius!đ
Best tutorial Iâve seen! I donât have to memorise 7 algorithms for the yellow side! Thank you đ
You only need to learn 4 and 2 for oll
i know how to solve the first side easily, but it takes me half of the solve (i average 15 seconds) so do you have any tips for a faster first side?
Do u have a video to solve the first side I average 6 or 7 seconds I can solve it but I canât solve the first side efficiently
I have this weird thing where I have one side solved, one side unsolved and cannot do anything with it and the other two sides are bars with for example one green piece on the top right.
I'll describe it to you
*Blue side* (Solved)
*Orange side* (orange bar at the top, bottom left green, bottom right orange)
*Green side* (green bar at the top and an orange and a red at the bottom)
*Red side* (red bar at the top, bottom left red, bottom right green)
Hopefully that makes sense to you because it happens to me all the time and I don't know how to solve it.
I know which case you have. You have case 1. You need to flip the cube so that the yellow side is facing the floor and the white side is facing up. Then put the blue on the left side and perform the algorithm.
Thanks
I just learned how to solve the 3 x 3 over the last year using the beginners method. Now understand F2L, but itâs slow right now till I get it down cold. Now, Iâm starting the 2x2 and carefully watch many videos just to choose one that was done well that I was sure I could follow and thatâs your video! So, this older dude will start tomorrow with this method and keep it as simple as possible till I get the hang of it. Thank you for a well explained âhow toâ video. đđ please check back for questions. Us older guys need help, lol. âđŒ
cheers đ
Any alternet algs for case 3?
I did it t again!!! Yes. This time only 40 min. But practice makes perfect
Wow 652 comments and you hearted almost all of them! Thanks for the great tutorial!
Good tutorial, thx, but was there any dust or hair on your cube you couldn't get off?
Nice
What ur best tip to memoing all the cases and algs
And also thanks for the vid
My best tip is to physically write the algorithms down on paper then repeatedly perform the alg about 10-15 times or until you donât need to look at the paper any more. Then wait a while and see if you can remember the alg without the paper if you can do that then you have memorized it. đ
Thanks this helped a. lot and i started cubing about a week ago and can get a 20sec on 2x2 with beginners and 1:50 on 3x3 however i wanna learn cfop too
Do u have a vid for that?
How am i supposed to memo the cases and also thanks for th vid
You got a like by someone
hey i dont know the chance of you reading this but i can do the first lair but in all the videos i watch they want me to do the yellow side so when i follow along with what there doing it always seems to not work and in the progress messing up the whites so yeah please help me and keep up the great work
Thank youđ. After you solve the white side then u make it face the floor. The side facing the sky will be the yellow side. Looking at the top layer you want to look at where the yellow stickers are placed, then look at the video and find the case that matches yours. Then position the cube with the same yellow stickers as I show on the front and then do the algorithm that I show. If you need more help I can always help more
2:56
Yellow side/ step 2:46
7:26
Case 1 , matching side: 7:42
Case 2, bottom layer solved: 8:33
Case 3, two colour's in bar on top layer and bottom 9:21
Case 4, one bar on bottom: 10:00
Case 4, no bars: 10:29
I use ortega method and now Iâm getting sub 5
Do u have any other 2x2 tutorials eg. Ones that u can do quicker
I mean how u can solve faster
Easy to remember, not as many algorithms to do!
Sometimes when I solve the top and bottom I have one other side solved, but no other rows. It looks like your cubes does at 5:17. What should I do from here?
That is actually case 3. Hold the extra solved side in front and do that alg
HyperCube thx very much
Do you have any tips for solving the white side fast
Become color neutral it drops your times tremendously because you have more of a chance of getting a good start rather than only looking at white
helped. me solve the cube easily
I solved it 10 times from this video
whats the best way to learn the algorithms
Write them down and perform them over and over until you donât need to look at the notes. Then take a break and see if u can still do it without the notes.
Tysm
Np
omg it didnt take me long to learn i just solved it in under 10 seconds!!!
What speed cube would you recommend?
Dayan Tengyun M 2x2 is good. It is the one I use
Cool
thanks
Thanks man. I used to use a sort of FOP method but this has cut my times down a lot, thank you.
Awesome đ
