I don't think that's what he meant. I'm reading it as "first block is more of a head-start towards the rest of the solve than cross". It's better in the sense that it's a bigger step towards the finish line.
Yeah, but if something saves half a second but takes two extra seconds to do, it's not faster.I don't think that's what he meant.

I don't agree with this though - FB is hard to do quickly in Meyer when compared to the cross. It could be a bit easier if you were x-neutral but I still think the cross is faster in Yau.
I think being limited with what edges you can pair up makes it more than a second though.in overall speed, yes, that one step makes meyer maybe 1 second slower than yau. 1 second is like nothing. unless you're sub 30.

However the 3x3 stage is quite good with Roux so I think the overall disadvantage is maybe a second.

Hello.
I would consider myself still pretty much a beginner speedcuber who's open to the idea of learning a different method (barely sub-1:00 on 3x3 with CFOP and not particularly attached to it). After reading the guide and skimming through the rest of this thread, there's one thing which was only briefly touched on, which is the 3x3 stage on bigger cubes.
From what I gather, Roux is out of the question because of all the M moves, and most people use CFOP. But what would be the pros and cons of CFOP vs. ZZ or Petrus for this purpose? Or does it really matter?
Is "effectiveness for 3x3 stage on big cubes" a crucial factor to consider for someone who would like to become a decent all-around speedcuber, or is it not that big of a deal?
Less commonly used methods are also less explored than CFOP, meaning there is likely more room for future improvement in these methods.
Yes and there is always room for innovation.

Imo, there's more fun in the challenge.but there are also fewer resources and fewer people to take advice from.

Like that would ever stop someone like me... ;-P
I'm not saying its necessarily harder to get fast with, but you will be alone very often and have to figure out what to improve yourself.
Yes look ahead is a pain in the ass

I know the Beginner's Method, but I would like to get faster times. What method would you recommend?
I only know the beginner's method, but I would eventually like to learn CFOP. Do you know any good methods to learn before learning CFOP?
