ZZ speedcubing method

[MHordecki]

As in the topic.

ZZ's quite interesting method, but it largely unknown in non-Polish speedcubing communities (like speedsolving.com). It's basically due to the fact that almost every information about ZZ is in Polish, which isn't lingua franca, I dunno why.

Because of that I've decided to write an article about it. I'm publishing it in early phase to provoke a discussion (as for today, there are only three persons that use ZZ as their primary method, so there are areas to improve). There are few thing to polish in my article:

• One of the concepts, called 'phasing' is covered only by theory, not by factual, practical experiences
• I'm in the process of generating my own ZZLL algs, but it's still far to go.
• Generally, expand everything

And, of course, the link: http://www.emsee.110mb.com/Speedcubi...ng system.html
Enjoy!

IMO ZZ is a wonderful method that fill the gap between Fridrich and intuitive methods, such as Petrus.

Hm...
Seems Interesting, I will check it out.

My term for Step 4: 2GLL

REPRESENT!

Thank you man. This looks really interesting. I might try this out after learning MGLS.

I found a typo on the page: "The main difference lies in so called "phasing". Just when finishing F2L, one must permute two opposite LL edges, usually UF and UD."

[yurivish]

That looks really interesting. The edge orientation during the first step seems to be the thing that makes it so different. I'm going to try this out!

Oh, if it comes to ZZ-d LL step, it could be named 2GLL (actually there isn't any 'official' name or so), but i left '(2gen) 1-look LL' for clarity. However, ZZLL can't be recognized as 2GLL, cause it's obviously in <R, U, L>-group

@KConny: Thank you!

Mine has Sune combinations, but I still call it 2GLL.

IMO ZZ is superior to Petrus due to the EO - it simplifies F2L cases, so generally brain has less to process and therefore can do it quicker

Since when was that an argument for superiority?

[yurivish]

Oo. I just tried a solve with this. I'm having lots of trouble with the EO step, but that's just a matter of practice. Other than that, it feels really nice being able to solve everything with just RUL, and then get a cross on top to boot. I might try switching to this, since for now I don't even have to learn any new algorithms and can just use cross OLL's and regular PLL's until I get good enough at the EOLine to justify learning the last-layer algs.

I have tried to use the ZZ method before mainly ZZF2L because I didn't know all the details of the method since I don't speak Polish.
I think its a pretty good method and may look into after this weekend as it is a little close to Nationals to switch now. Being mainly a OH cuber I like the fact that F2L was been reduced to 3gen and have been trying to incorporate some kind of intuitive edge orienting system into my Fridrich to simplify my LL as obviously 1LLL is the goal.
Thanks for the article I look forward to you expanding it.
