Speedsolving 3x3 Method Switch-Up 2023

[An Animating Cuber]

So I had this earlier:

There will be four (+?) different 3x3 events and for each of them we will be using a different speedsolving method.

Event 1: CFOP, you should all know how to do this

Event 2: Roux, Here's a tutorial

Event 3: ZZ, Here's a tutorial

Event 4: Petrus, Here's a tutorial

If you think another method should be included tell me in the form and I might put it in.

Registration will be open until 9/23 and then I will post all the scrambles.

If you register you have to do all the methods.

Sign Up!

That negates the whole point of this, I'm trying to get people to try other methods, so why would you just pick one.

Me: Let's sign up for this! It's a forum comp!
sees that I have to learn 3 new methods
Me: nope

 

[OtaMota]

Going to participate in this.

I mean, except for CFOP it took me a hour or two to learn all of the methods.

 

[OtaMota]

I already know CFOP and Roux (Technically) I could theoritically do ZZ just have not tried it yet, and I guess the same for Petrus.

 

[Jorian Meeuse]

This seems like a fun challenge! Trying something new never hurts.

Ok lets decide the fifth event:

Belt: Solve E slice, do whatever LL pleases you on top flip and do the same on bottom.

Nautilus: Solve first layer minus a 2x2x1 Square, Solve the Square +LL (Methods to do so vary)

APB: Build a 2x2x3 Block, Create whatever F2L pair belongs in the BR slot, Insert the pair and solve EO simultaneously, Solve the rest of F2L, LL

LEOR: Build a 1x2x3 block on the left side of the cube, Solve EO and the DB and DF edges, finish F2L, LL

Corners first: Solve all corners, Solve all centers, solve the E slice edges (use M' R U' M U R'), solve first layer edges (use M' U M and M' U2 M), EOLL and EPLL

You should consider the amount of algs you need to learn and the similarity to the methods already being done.

Also there's still time to sign up!

 

[Torrian]

Signed up! As someone who already knows all 4 methods and averages similar times with each, I am excited to see how this turns out!!!

 

[OtaMota]

Could we add Corners first then?

It appears corners fist has won the extra method make sure you know that soon:

Corners first: Solve all corners, Solve all centers, solve the E slice edges (use M' R U' M U R'), solve first layer edges (use M' U M and M' U2 M), EOLL and EPLL

That method is the base but if you know a cool variation feel free to use it.
I’ll post the scrambles for CFOP in two days and when everyone submits I’ll post Roux scrambles, etc.
One thing you should know, when you submit I want reconstructions of the solves, I want to make sure nobody does anything like EO on CFOP or Roux on Corners first or anything like that, I’d recommend recording to make it easier to remember but that’s optional.
