2x2x2 noob:Methods and algo

[noobium]

Good day,

I recently got a 2x2 and I've been looking around to select the method that fits me and my needs the most. I wanna be able to get goods solves, without being sub 3.... From what I saw, CCL is pretty good, but requires a lot of algo and the recognition may take a long time. I also read about Ortega and Guimond, Ortega seams easier to learn, recognition is easier and times are slightly higher.

So my Questions would be: Should I only learn Ortega or learn Ortega+Guimond because they are good complement? Also, would only learning CLL be more efficient/easier than Ortega+Guimond? Finally, Andy Klise made good PDF for these 3 methods, but are they relatively good algs or I should consider another source? (http://www.kungfoomanchu.com/home.html#222)

On a last note, I am currently using CFOP( average of low 20) and I am now trying to pratice Roux...but didnt work on CMLL yet.

Thanks,

Sub 4 with CLL would be really easy. 42 algs isn't actually that bad. You'll already know some CLLs from 3x3 too, so you won't have to learn 42.

Totally agree with Rubiks560. Don't be afraid of 42 algs. They are easy and short(most of them).

Just had a quick scan of a CLL page: there are about 15 algs to learn that aren't either standard 3x3 algs, or just sune/sune or sune/niklas combinations. I'm regarding inverses/mirrors as the same. It's really easy to learn - just recognition is a little difficult at first.

Andy Klise's guide for CLL is awesome. You can choose between 2 or 3 algs for each case. I learnt CLL with that pdf very easily.

Okk thanks, so I will have a good look at CLL, my last question would be: How does color neutrality work on the 2x2x2. Is it a must, is only yellow/white Ok or theres no need to learn more than 1 color(using Cll....or the other 2 methods mentionned earlier...).

Thanks,

Almost everyone is CN on 2x2x2 because it is so easy. Also, it makes a much bigger difference than on 3x3x3.

think you should be at least sub-8 with lbl to try cll. think cll is only really useful if you can solve the first layer in under 2 seconds. Guimond is really hard to learn and be good at (in my opinion.)

Since you use CFOP, use Ortega or lbl. Lbl requires no algs to learn. Ortega requires about 4. Given you know ocll.
