I use self-taught Intuitive Polish V. I have very little practice with it, (200 solves) and have really bad recognition. I think I could get really fast with this, but I'll probably switch to oka or something soon.

I've done the exact same as you, self-taught Intuitive Polish V. Except I have over a years practice with it. I've gotten a sub-3 avg5 PB and a sub 3.5 avg12 PB. So if there is any advice I can give you is stick to Polish V at the moment, get really good at it and then learn something else, like oka if you want to. But if you practice Polish V now, then in the future when your really fast if there is a bad case for oka and in the exact same scramble there is a good solution using Polish V then you will get a really good solve.

@CiaranBeahan Thanks that's pretty awesome! I didn't really think anyone else used intuitive polish v. Guess there's always someone right? Thanks for the advice, i will definitely keep that in mind, and most likely stick to it for a couple of months at least.

Polish V Is basically build 2 edges of a layer (a V) and solve the rest with one alg. The location/orientation of the third edge of the first layer does not matter.

Round 4
Race to sub-8

Average: 7.23
Times: (10.65), 7.55, 8.28, 5.96, 6.39, 8.99, 7.36, 7.81, 8.24, 5.77, 5.93, (5.66)

I've actually only been practicing 1-flip but did this with keyhole. My keyhole times are still worse than what they used to be. Looks like I had to warm up. My 1-flip times are almost comparable to this now.

So I have not practiced pyraminx much at all, I currently use the 5 alg LBL method, and average sub 15, but whould like to get better. Any recommendations on which method I should learn next. I was thinking Oka, Keyhole, or LP.

Race to sub 12- 16.035

19.515, 18.774, 12.504, 15.553, (8.366), 17.120, (25.135), 16.308, 15.115, 14.215, 14.684, 16.557

Very slow even for me, I haven't started learning KeyHole yet, but wanted to have one LBL average so I can see how much I improve.
