Road to sub-10 with ZZ (ZZ progression starts after some pages since this was previously used for something else. Don't mind about the poll)

Those thoughts then, are misguided. I get that your statement is largely opinionated, but if you are happy and feel accomplished by doing something inventing something which you never really invented, do you really have the right to remain content about it? Additionally, I don't why one would have any reason to be sad or mad about it, at least in this scenario.

Are you discriminating people who use the big-4 as people who don't give things a chance? That's simply wrong for reasons that are self-explanatory.
I understand the thoughts are a little misguided but still they aint negative thoughts. By sad or mad, I mean disappointed. Thats all.

Discrimination? Really? Yall just saying methods are bad. Whatever he invented, yall striaght up just said "This is a worse version of Ribbon or a worse version oh Mehta" which is just plain rude. 2 Holes (his other method) I gave it a chance and in only 2 days I already have 2 sub-15 singles. In my opinion its a good and original method. Who else does Petrus 222 then F2L? Nobdoy, not on wiki, nothing. I dont know what his new method does but he removed the video (YouTube says) but I am completely sure its better than CFOP. You probably gave things a chance but I highly doubt everyone here did.

Please dont take this the wrong way Im just mad at people saying his new method is a worse version of mehta and ribbon

I'd rather think wrong and happy about a method than sad or mad but right about that same method.
Alright, so you would like an ignorant bliss. I’ll keep that in mind. Ignorance isn’t something that you want, not just in cubing, but for the rest of your life. If you do something wrong in a job someday, and keep making that same mistake, you will not have that job for much longer.

I like to give things a chance (unlike yall big-4 users)
I have actually tried all of the “big-4” methods, along with many more, such as Mehta, Nautilus, Waterman, and a couple others, so you can’t say “y’all” (contraction for “you all,” implying that none of the people who use CFOP, Roux, ZZ, or Petrus have tried any other methods). The thing is is that you can’t assume that we haven’t tried these methods. If we think that one of the big 4 methods is the best, then that’s what we’ll use. There is a reason that those 4 method have become way more popular and have gotten better results than all the rest. It’s because they are better.

How many people have to tell you that it’s not rude? It’s literally just informing them that their idea has already been thought of.

Petrus literally does 2x2x2 then F2L. Do you know what Petrus even is? Also, how is 2-holes better than CFOP? CFOP is a highly optimized method that has been used by top solvers for decades. A poorly-made variation of another method isn’t going to beat that no matter what you do.

"Just Informing" sounded a little bit rude on my end, tho I am sure thats not what you meant, I would just say, say it a little nicer next time.

Petrus does 222, 223, EO, Petrus F2L, ZBLL. 2 Holes does 222, F2L-2 cross edges, Solve 1 cross piece, solve corners, L5EO, L5EP. Very different.

You never tried Waterman lol thats a lie.

I would like to nominate myself for worst argument award btw

When someone says That's just a worse method of this, or that, I would admit that it is a bit curt, but it is a simple way of informing the person that that idea has already been thought of. And I hear you saying that the statement could be nicer a lot, so how would you rephrase that to be nicer?

I personally don't know Petrus, so I'm not going to get into this argument, but please don't say that I'm not "giving it a chance".
You never tried Waterman lol thats a lie.
And what right do you have to state that? Do you think that you know him better than he knows himself? In the thread of the two sub-8 solves, you were being very persistent that the people don't have the right to say the solves were faked, so why are you hypocritical about it right now?

Lol, but if you think that your argument is the worst then why are you still persisting on it?

I have no idea lol

"Hey, I do apologize if this is kinda rude but there is a similar version of this method on the wiki, sorry" [INSERT WIKI PAGE THING HERE]

I had a bunch of people ccuse me of faking the solves even tho I didnt. I might film a bunch of solves later proving that Waterman is a good method. I got a sub-10 earlier today off cam (I got scramble too DM me about that one). I am just trying to prove the solves werent faked.
I personally don't know Petrus, so I'm not going to get into this argument, but please don't say that I'm not "giving it a chance".
You havent YET. Or you havent idk. It would be nice to see it in the future. I tried it and zI suck at EO and I only know ~130 ZBLL
And what right do you have to state that? Do you think that you know him better than he knows himself?
Why would I think that lol. The guy just hit me up on discord and told me to stop so Ima stop.

Hi everyone.
I recently switched to Mehta from CFOP.
I am now sub-20 (ya I know I suck) with Mehta and I use intuitive APDR.
My goal is to become sub-12 by the end of the year.
Thank you all for your support.

These are today's/my first Ao100 with Mehta intuitive APDR.
PB = 11.59
PB Mo3 = 12.35
PB Ao5 = 14.15
PB Ao12 = 16.84
PB Ao25 = 18.38
PB Ao50 = 18.85
PB Ao100 = 19.55

mehta is horrible. Might as well use petrus instead since its better but it doesnt really matter cause you can be sub 10 with pretty much any method

bro. petrus sucks. and FYI Jayden Mcneill the king of cubing knowledge and explanations has said Mehta has the potential to be one of the greatest methods.
