Hi everyone my name is Stephen, i just joined the forum as you could obviously tell. I will start with a background on my cubing i guess. I started cubing about 3 or 4 months ago. I started off with Dan Brown's(pogobat) tutorial on YouTube. Soon after that i switched to the fridrich method, i used that until i averaged about 30 seconds. Only about a week or two ago i made another switch to my current method the ZZ method i used Phil Yu's phenomenal tutorial(link at bottom). With the ZZ method i currently average about 33 seconds with ZZ and i truly believe this method has a lot of potential especially with all the ZZ variants that have yet to be explored. If you are wondering why i switched it's because i felt like i wanted to be different, so when i go to competitions i can say im the only one using ZZ in here unless of course someone else is using ZZ. Yeah so that's just a gist about my cubing "career" i guess you could call it. It would also be awesome if you could check out my YouTube channel SAICubed just like my username on this. I put a lot of work on my videos so i think you will enjoy them, well at least i hope you will enjoy them.

Amazing ZZ tutorial= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9f-uHyHeQs

P.S. If you have any questions pertaining to ZZ feel free to ask i don't know too much but if your a beginner i think i could help so ask all you want and i will do my best to answer. Thanks!

Hello, welcome to the forum and have fun with ZZ!
What relatively unexplored variation of zz are you thinking about learning?
I waste a lot of my time on ll methods and may be able to help.

Mainly to the ZZ variant, ZZ D its on the speedsolving wiki you should read about it, it's interesting.

 

[aznanimedude]

if you're that interested in it, i'm hoping to see your developments in it since ZZ-d is pretty unexplored since noone has been able to find a decent way to detect corner permutations while solving first block, do that and we're golden. if you're really that interested in it, also check out ZZ-rainbow, it's somewhere in the ZZ/ZB thread. everyone will legitimately hug you if you missing link zz-d brobro
