But what I don't understand is that you say you want to stop learning more at some point and just focus on TPS and lookahead. We all do this. We learn a certain amount, then focus on getting comfortable with it by focusing on TPS and lookahead. Once it's become a natural part of the solve you just need to find something else to improve on or add, and then repeat the process of making it a natural part of your solves.

Right, but at some point, learning new things becomes useless and can actually slow you down overall, I just want to learn as much as I can before reaching that point. Basically, I just want to know what you guys think I should and should not learn, i will decided if I want to undertake it.

So does anyone have any serious counter arguments to EJF2L? I hate those two cases so I figure I might as well learn how to skip OLL while doing them.

Sorry, can you explain/provide a link to EJF2L please? I looked at the wiki but I didn't exactly get it. Is it just MGLS? And yeah, go ahead and learn that, OLL skips rule :) (if that's the advantage it gives you)

EJLS is just the CLS cases where the corner is placed but twisted. EJF2L is when you place a corner twisted during step 1, 2 or 4 of Petrus so that you can use CLS to twist it and perform OLL at the same time. Erik Johnson has a tutorial for it on YouTube.

Ya, it is a rather useful little set of MGLS. You can purposefully insert incorrectly to save time and then OLL skip when you solve it. Really nice and easy to incorporate.

This my experience and the experience of others I have met.

although there isnt alot or algs to learn it dosent come up often enough to be "worth learning" imho. just learn coll.
