So, I have boarded the dummy train and I have tried to optimize this method the best I can with my limited knowledge. First start with ZZ's EO, this way you don't have to deal with the pain of edge parity later. Then solve the belt with moves only. Which is very easy actually. Then separate edges and corners using bars. Make bars by placing an edge between two adjacent corners on the opposite side using M' U2 M. Place the top bar on the left and bottom bar on the right and do R2 U2 R2. If you have an odd amount of edges or corners, solve using bars until your at one corner or one edge on each side that needs to swap. To swap one corner on each side, place one corner on top of the other and do (U R U' R')3. to swap one edge on each side, place one edge on top of the other and do M' U2 M. From there do OLL and PLL, doing corner twist parity as needed, flip over, OLL, PLL, finish!

Tymon Kolasinski tried the belt method during Cyoubx's stream yesterday ("Sub-6's on Stream EZ. Learning Pseudoslotting and CN"). He modified the method slightly - he forced a parity skip during piece separation and rearranged the steps. He also got a 14 and then called a 15 "bad".

Hi JPerm i have just started watching your videos about 2 weeks ago and your videos have really insiperd me to get a runik's cube myself! I just wanna say thank you for the amazing content you give us

My variation on this was to build the top, and bottom faces, then the belt. That way, you don't have to worry about piece separation. You can also build the first face and the belt at the same time, since it's sorta like F2L. The major flaw in this method came in the PLLS. Originally, I thought I'd just fix the parity with M2 U2 M2, then (I assumed) I could memorise all the algs to solve both faces at once. That was a no, so I figured I'd ignore parity and just memorise all PLLs, including parity. Still a no go (547 algs. Possible, but probably not worth it). I think the best way would just to do the two faces separately, like you did (I have no idea why I didn't think of that at the time lol). Still pretty garbage due to the move count and the rotation at the end, but better than the version you chose ( I think? I'm working on sub 20, so I'm not exactly experienced in this kind of stuff yet).

When I “invented” this method, I actually realized this potential flaw, so I actually would solve the white side, similar to F2L, but only the edges for the belt were in the right spot. This way, I did OLL once on the yellow side (solving mismatch, edge and corner parities) and the would only do PLL on both sides. I still think it’s decently viable but CFOP is just better in every way

You may be able to make separating pieces easier if you don’t preserve the belt, but only require those 4 edges stay in the middle. One algorithm at the end could fix it easily or be combined with PLL to make it one step (I think this would triple the number of PLL’s)

I've been speedcubing 2 years and have actually never thought of the Belt method. I was expecting this to be about the CFOP-Roux Hybrid method that lots of people come up with.

This is legitimately the first time I've heard about this for 3x3! I like using this for weird non shapeshifting 3x3xn cuboids and I'd also imagine this could work well for other 3x3xn cuboids where n is an odd integer greater than 3.

I actually solved my old 5x5 for years using a sort of layer by layer method. Do the first 3 layers and then the bottom ring of edges and then the final 4th layer edges. Finally, do the remaining center pieces. It was slow, but can be adjusted to work with any size cube

Yes, i think we've all tried it. Good practice for OLL/PLL. Cause you have to do it twice. Bad idea when you realize you messed up and have to do much more than you originally planned when even though the pieces are separated, they are still in a configuration that can't be solved without fixing the cube. Really good if you want to do a bunch a u perms.

TITLE: The Speedcubing Method We All Invented... Me seeing the video: I have never seen or thought of that method in my life

Just suggestion, how about doing "oll" on both top and bottom and use 5x5 center building to complete the faces. Then do E perm if both top and bottom have adj. corner swaps by moving the corners to be swapped from the bottom to the top. Then do EPLL and parity (if any).

If I'm not mistaken, this is like solving a 3x3 as a square-1. Square-1 uses this method.

I thought of this message where you first solve the corners like 2x2x2 and the solve the edges and then put the centres in place...takes a hell lot of time... especially when compared to CFOP or Belt. But it was worth it

I remember thinking about a similar way to solve it, and thought it would be good, but for a different reason: 1. Belt 2. OBL (Orientation of Both Layers) 3. Top and bottom face separation (if not color neutral, yellow and white) 4. PBL (Permutation of Both Layer) The goal was to save time in bottom layer and permute everything at the end with only one algorithm, like ortega in 2x2 (which might give better algs than normal PLL for some cases (ex opposite J-Perms (R2 U R2 U' D' R2 D R2)). The problem is that it would need about 400 algs for PBL (no idea for OBL) and I don't think it would even be faster.

I actually got my PB with the belt method by trying it right now for the first time after watching your video haha. I use layer by layer with algs invented by me and my bestie and average around 40 seconds, and the belt gave me a 25 seconds time smashing my old PB by 10 seconds

I feel like doing EO before the belt could make things more efficient. They maybe you could combine some steps. Something like: 1. EO 2. Belt 3. Separate pieces (edges are easy to recognize when oriented so it might be easier to combine edge and corner separation) 4. Corner parity 5. COLL #1 6. COLL #2 7. Permute edges

Lol, I really thought about this method as well and initially thought the only extra step would be the white/yellow sorting. Luckily while solving 2x2 with Ortegra I noticed that I mostly get invalid OLL cases for the top face when the bottom face is not oriented. So I didn't bother trying "Belt" ;)

There's a WAY better method than CFOP called ZB. You first do F2L up to your last pair but then use an algorithm to orient all of the last layer edges. After that, you use a ZBLL algorithm to solve the rest. If there wasn't as many algorithms, would you recommend this method or is it still not worth learning? Also, why do the few cubers who use this method get slower times than any top speedcubers (like Feliks)? btw amazing content

I literally invented this a week ago. J perm is spying on me

Hey! New cuber (and subscriber) here (5 days in, making good progress). I was researching advanced methods and came across a newer method that looks to be an improved version of this belt method. It's called the "Mehta" method. It looks like it was first proposed in 2020, so it's relatively new. But seems to combine some Roux, belt, and CFOP methods. Supposedly it has low move count and mostly relies on algorithms. Would you consider doing a video over this method? I think it would be pretty cool and it seems many think it could be a new promising speedcubing method. I'd love to know your thoughts on it vs CFOP and ROUX.

Thank you soooOooooooooooo much for this method

While you make the belt you can try to do piece/edge separation at the same time to save time, like I think it could be possible to get fast at this method if you blend some of the steps together like the first 2 Edit: If you use Roux like me, you can use on of the triggers M' U2 M to swap edges, I think the Belt method could work with roux solvers

Thanks @J Perm for this method! It's really fun to play with this method lol

Reminds me of the method I made up. FCOP which is basically CFOP but it starts with solving the f2l pairs.

I have a kinda similar method. You don't do a belt tho you solve the cube the smae as normal cfop. However on the cross you put the peices in randomly then do an algerythem that puts them in the right place. Then continue normallt

Lmao I also thought I invented something similar🤣. Though my pattern is a bit different since im not a speed cuber and not for the purpose of speedcubing. My pattern is to build a white cross then just put white pieces randomly in that cross. Build the second layer, then third layer, adjust things that needed to adjust then go back to the first layer and do the third layer thing🤣. Its fun making your own formula🤣.

What about the instead of the cross, you do an X? Corners first, if advanced, do 2nd layer edges, then do 1st layer edges, or do 1st layer edges, then 2nd layer edges, then do last layer however you want?

lmao I remember "inventing" this when I was first getting into speedcubing

Actually we can make this method more efficient by reducing OLL paritys. Bassicly, when we put wrong for example white edge on the bottom layer, we can determine if it should be white in front or bottom. Same with corners, we can use "edge on place" F2L (only 3 algs, not that much) to insert pieces in correct rotation. Then the only parity left is PLL parity which can be done in 3 moves.

4:30 that is literally my Pb on 3x3

When j perm more fast than me with a belt method

I have a possibly sightly better way of doing the method: 1: EO-Belt. (Do edge orientation and the belt) 2: Piece seperation. (to keep EO use only R2, U & D moves. My method is to first have a 1x1x2 block (1 edge and center) of the same colour on top, then insert one 'pair' to make it a 1x2x2 then another 'pair' to make a 1x2x3. Finally you pair up the last two corners and edge then insert to finish separation. (if needed use R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 to flip R2 layer).) 3: OLL on top with one corner ignored. 4: PLL parity. (M2 U2 M2) 5: PLL on top 6: Flip cube, Then use EJLS to twist the last corner and finish OLL at the same time. (If the corner isn't twisted you could use ZBLL to skip step 7) 7: PLL to finish the cube.

I also have created a method: the Minus2Y method Step 1: Make a line just as you make the cross on CPOF/Beggibers method, but instead of a cross it is a line or a minus Step 2: Make the 2 blocks next to the line's centers like in the Roux method matching with the center's colour Step 3: OLL and PLL Conclusion: this mixes roux and CPOF (And maybe ZZ?)

Interesting seque. I taught my niece CFOP a while back. And she struggled with it forever. So I just showed her the belt method. As strange as this sounds, she picked it up like a duck adapts to water and solves with this method almost intuitively.

This is the best video I have ever seen 😮 how do you do it?

I need to start using this.

For a challenge vid, can you speedsolve with an FMC solution. So basically, you get like 45 minutes or something to come up with a solution for a scramble in CsTimer, then with that solution, you time yourself solving it with the solution you made as fast as you can. PS: Love your vids!

this is less efficient but it works i guess . 1. make a cross dosent have to be correct but make a cross. 2. orientate corners 3. make belt boom! no oll parity 4. oll 5. pll ,sometimes pll parity just use 4x4 algorithm for pll parity 6. flip 7. oll 8.pll 9.finished

I'm a sub-20 solver and i want to ask, what do you do if the first pair you always see after doing the cross is a front slot pair? should i do a cube rotation and put it at the back or just wait (while solving the cube of course) until a cube rotation is really necessary? (CFOP)

Can you make more videos on this method I am liking it

I Never actually thought of doing this. I thought about doing the First 2 layers differently. CFOP: Make a cross and then put in ALL of the pairs Roux: Make 2 cross edges and the pairs and do the last 2 cross-edges at the end Petrus: Make 2 adjacent cross edges and put in the pair between them and repeat that 3 more times. All of these work. Just they are very strict. So I combined Petrus F2L with Cfop F2l. So I can put in any of the pairs and any of the cross edges in any order. I went from 25avg to a sub21 average. People also say that Petrus is a bad method. I think that it is very good. Unlike Cfop, you don't have to do the crossedges first. But it is also easier to do than Roux Blocks. This is just my opinion and Petrus Helped me To Sub21

Yeah I have definitely never thought about that

BLBL (Belt Layer by layer) 1. Make the belt (obviously) 2.fix parity (by repurposing algs) 3.swap corner 4.layer by layer oll and pll

O tried it and i found that separating the corners first was easier for me as i used mainly M moves to separate the edges after. I was just more intuitive to me.

I remember trying this. I spent hours trying to make a bunch of lines and them connecting them together.

cooooooooooool never seen method ima try it

Forgive me if I lack the understanding for why something like this wouldn’t work, but would orienting edges to be “good”, whatever that may be, similarly to ZZ, be a viable method to avoid some parity cases?

I thought of just solving the belt and also the d face but without permuting the d face. In this way, you only get a pll parity and pseudoslotting actually becomes a pretty viable skill thanks to the amount of freedom you get. Pretty sure someone has thought about this method(I don't know whether it has a name) but it looks way more viable than the belt method

I never thought of this!

great video
