Guimond . I've had many sub4 averages of 12 with it.

Lol, sub-4 avg with Guimond! That's impressive
Do you predict the separation case on inspection? I was going to start putting the time into learning, but not sure if its worth it..

 

[joey]

It's worth it.. use all the inspection you can!

It's absolutely worth learning. I always predict separation. Feel free to send me a pm if you have any specific Guimond questions. I've had a handful of sub3 averages of 5 with it, but avg5's are silly to count

 

[Zava]

try to plan orientation-separation, and if possible, the permutation of the bottom layer. I used to do it like this, and I think my pb avg12 was 3.14 with guimond. well, some luck involved there

 

[DavidWoner]

No offense to Shaden, but it's really not that hard. There was a time when there were more sub3 averages with Guimond than any other method. People just don't know anything about the method.

Lol, sub-4 avg with Guimond! That's impressive

No offense to Shaden, but it's really not that hard. There was a time when there were more sub3 averages with Guimond than any other method. People just don't know anything about the method.

David is completely correct. Guimond can be a very fast method, it just doesn't get the attention that CLL does. Phil Thomas broke the old NAR with Guimond. I don't think it's a replacement for CLL or anything...I believe the key to being really fast at 2x2 (not that I'm anywhere near "really fast") is being able to apply the best method for a particular solve. Sometimes that's Guimond, other times it's CLL or EG.

That, or just be Rowe.

True, on the odd occasion I'll use Ortega when I see an easy first layer, but it feels slower. Poss because OLL is longer idk. CLL sounds cool, but I'm not great at building a layer quickly. My main motivation to learn it was for SpeedBLD in the weekly comps

... deffo sticking to the G-mond for now!
