The method debate thread

Ok sorry I'll admit I can't get sub-50 with the COLL L5E variant in 10 minutes but with regular HKOLL and HKPLL you can get to sub 50 and even sub 40 in 10 minutes. that doesn't mean the average movecount of CFOP is better than regular HK. you're basically putting me in so much disadvantages, can't use regular HK, can't do it in more than ten minute and I'm using a beginner HK variant which is equivalent to CFOP 3LLL which is inefficient.

Thank you for admitting that. But I can get sub 50 or sub 45 with CFOP in 10 minutes;)
 
I don't really understand HK so I think I did it badly(like do you orient all edges or just F2L ones?), but here's 47 STM solution with COLL/L5EP. Nothing super advanced, and the first WCA 3x3 scramble I pulled from csTimer.

Also averaging sub-40 is ridiculous, even using HKOLL and HKPLL instead of COLL L5EP

"even sub-40" watch the wording here, sometimes with decently lucky scrambles. just the F2L ones.

Dude I had a 8 move XEOArrow and a good F2L with the easiest L5EP case and got 47

Edit: I did the same solve with HKOLL and HKPLL and got a 54. Of course, I got a pretty good COLL+L5EP combination, and generally HKLL is lower movecount

You are using HK beginner variant, if you use HKOLL and HKPLL it will be better.
Dude I said in the beginning that without full HKOLL and HKPLL you can't average 40 moves, and you said you could. I guess you finally are realizing that you can't.

And honestly even with full HKOLL and HKPLL you might not even average sub 50 moves.

I got 54 on that same solve with HKLL

I meant not in speedsolves, with regular HK variant , and in speedsolves, HK can average high 40s, the wiki is lying to me again? https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Hawaiian_Kociemba

You could maybe average high 40s, but that'd be elite level. You could expect probably low-mid 50s on average
