My Quest for Sub 8 Petrus

(11.56 ao5)
Rip Ruined by the 12!!!

Just created a new 4x4 method!! (callin it pinetrus) will put the example solve vid in here when it is uploaded (=
it also works on 5x5 with a slight modification but cause yau 5 is good for petrus i didnt know why you would use it

 

[PetraPine]

The method has alot of potential for improvement especially in edge pairing.
i found it better to just do centers like hoya and THAN do the "f2l"pairs.
I changed how you do centers/ cross just now the new steps are below

NEW steps :
1. Hoya Centers
2. Solve Hoya Cross edges
3. the 2 back f2l pairs (litterally first two layers)
4.Solve Hoya Final centers
5solve edges while finishing back pairs
6.petrus
7.Dont forget about parities!!!
(3/4 are interchangable)
i got a 2:13 on my first solve attempt.
For 5x5
1.Hoya centers
2. left, right and back 3 Hoya Cross edges
3. solve f2l pairs
4.finish back edges by pairing the left over edges(center and upper) and using a wide move than an insert than a wide move back.
5. solve rest of edges
6.petrus.
Just got a 1:53.1:42.1:41,1:30

 

[PetraPine]

Edge solving method for back edges.
put whatever the top back edge is on the bottom of the front on the same (R/L)
side.
Push edge forward and than switch it for the edge that needs to be in the back push it back.
do this with both edges, and than solve the other edges 2,3 style.
You can also do any two f2l pairs as long as there next to eachother, youll just have to rotate.
New VERSION
1.Yau Y/W
2.Yau Cross edges.
3.Centers.
4.F2l pairs.
5.(put any edge on the bottom front)Edge pairing.
6.Petrus
(just got a 1:22)

I remember someone was Sub-1 with Obli method on 4x4. I forgot who but jesus.

 

[PetraPine]

Just looked it up an saw youre example solve lol
I think getting sub 1 with Pinetrus could be easier as it is more tps spammy like cfop and theres less blockbuilding
I might Switch to obli if i cant get fast with my method
gonna upload a new example solve of the updated method tomorrow

Fortress
(Pinetrus for 3x3 lol)
Solve a 2x2x3 block but the E layer edges can be any ZZ oriented piece, making 2x3 very very efficient.(this method is rotation less btw)
Solve ZZ eo
Use block building to solve the back pairs while also solving the front cross edge
Finish f2l
LL
This will be my last method post its getting out of hand.

I don't even know if this so roux, but let's see, oh gosh.

Roux FB and SB like normal
COLL
Solve the white side only MU gen
Then there are 3 ways to solve this:
1. Beginner way would be like 3x3 beginner method, learn only one algorithm to solve the yellow side, but in this case it is M' U' M U' M' U' M U' M' U' M, which cycles through all the possible cases for the top layer.
Then, PLL with MU gen algorithms, because corners solved
2. Intermediate way is to memorize 3 algorithms for the yellow side, I don't want to write them down, remember, all MU gen. Then PLL all MU gen.
3. BIG BOI way is to memorize ALL EPLLs, and making sure they are all MU gen.
This probably sucks, or it may be another method, I do t know, I only know of CFOP

its just doing LSE but much much more inefficient, and it has been suggested many times
and you dont need to do COLL, you can just do cmll

Oh shoot, just realized this is the wrong thread!
Carry on...

Tried Speed solving a penrose cube with petrus, got a 2:24 might do a couple more.

First A05 w Fortress Method(my 3x3 petrus variant)

	current	best
time	28.22	20.28
ao5	24.75	24.75

What i did because i didnt want to plan all of 2x3 i solved extension normally making only one sides block unsolved, still bieng able to do Blockbuilding and solve cross just as easily without bad recog, also 2x2 is still very efficient.
Steps(For Now )
Solve a 2x2x2 but the E layer edge can be any ZZ oriented edge.
Do Petrus Extension
Do ZZ EO
Finish back block while solving cross piece/Blockbulding.
Finish F2l
Solve LL

Are you switching?

 

[PetraPine]

I created the method, and Yau doesnt make since for petrus,
and i think it could go farther than obli so ya.

Im going to attempt getting a 3blind success tomorrow, its prob gonna suck lol

 

[PetraPine]

I'm going to practice with Block Trainer.
I tried a couple of blocks and realized i just couldn't get an as efficient solution.
I don't know if this will help me, i don't really know how to improve except just do this.
I definitely have the basics down i just cant "think outside of the box".

"think outside of the box blocks".
