Petrus method

[immortalcube]

Just out of curiosity, who here uses the Petrus method for speedcubing, and what are your fastest times? I've seen some people use it with avgs around 25-30 sec, but there doesn't seem to be many people who use it. I have seen one person who had an avg of like 15 sec, but I think he used the Petrus F2L and Fridrich LL system or something...

I don't use it as my method, unfortunately, but I have had a sub-30 OH average and sub 20 single with it.
There are a plenty of people who can solve it very fast using Petrus, like Johannes.

 

[Johannes91]

I average about 15 seconds with Petrus. (If you insist that Petrus is exclusively a beginner method and Petrus LL has to be 3-look LL, then maybe 17-18 seconds.)

Anthony Hsu is also fast.

... I average 16-17 using the best I have for Petrus. It's very much a fast method! It's just that no one's very good at it.

getting the last 2 corner/edge pairs in with all those restrictions kinda makes petrus very hard for me right now.

What exactly do you mean? Doesn't sound like you're talking about Petrus at all.

That's the Heise method, isn't it?

Thanks for the inspiration guys, looks like I have some work to do....
I'm learning the rest of the LL algs today.

I think he means finishing F2L (after edge orientation) restricted to turning two faces. I found it difficult until I learned Fridrich F2L, then everything made sense.

 

[Cubie Newbie]

Yes, I do a quite efficient Fridrich INTUITIVE F2L. This helps a lot during Petrus F2L, especially when you're limited to two sides. Before learning Fridrich, I struggles to understand the entire Petrus method. After looking back at it ,(especially after seeing Lofty and Dene's ...er... enthusiasm for the Petrus), I realised that corner-edge pair building are used in both!

 

[Lofty]

well... you really only should be building one C/E pair in Petrus and that is step 4b...
