@ProStar How's this going?

Almost done, will probably be out very soon

Edit: 500th reply lol

How is this going NOW?
I'm very impatient, sorry.

Oh no.....

We had a couple power outages(for like a second, nothing serious) yesterday during a storm, and when I got onto my open tab today to finish the new version of the guide, none of it was there, and my saved drafts on SS were deleted

You could make a google doc, this would resolve this problem and you could also have multiple contributors such as @PetrusQuber

Wait, why was I mentioned?

Sorry I was just using you as an example my point was that if he had a google doc other people could help write the thread and we could have pros and cons from some of the main method users more easily.

That sounds like a good idea, but I personally don't really want to write it again, although I may help if someone starts on it

How about this: instead of re-writing the entire thing, realize the quotes were meant to say that CFOP isn't the only viable method.

To clarify: I didn't completely rewrite it, I took the original tutorial. But I made a bunch of edits, since a lot of stuff was outdated on top of being partially biased

Almost done with the new version! I won't be able to add sections for all the methods(obviously), but I wanted to briefly highlight some of the more popular ones. What do you think the most popular methods are other than CFOP, Roux, ZZ, and Petrus?



Because it would take just as much work, and the staff probably have better things to do than I do

On the subject of other methods, you might want to consider Heise. It’s not really a speed method, but it will likely appeal to curious people who want to learn about different ways to solve the cube - i.e. the target audience of this thread. It was my first method and I think it works well for a beginner since it is so intuitive.

I had a section dedicated to other methods, where it would be less descriptive but still be a brief overview of a bunch of methods, with steps and a couple pros/cons. However:

I was very sorry to hear that happened. This post is due for an update.

Definently add a CF method (other than Roux). Just do whatever's most popular.

I had included (from what I can remember)

Waterman
Heise
LEOR
PCMS
SSC

I think I may have had 1 or 2 more, but cannot recall

That should be good, but I don't know if LEOR is necessary, as nobody uses it.

YOU ARE FACTUALLY INCORRECT

YOU ARE FACTUALLY INCORRECT

o k

Also LEOR is basically Petrus...


Dang it... I've done it again... Compare other methods to Petrus...

by that logic zz is basically just cfop

Hawaiian Kociemba should be on there. I will be making a website, so if you need info, I will probably be done in like two months(I just started yesterday and I have no idea what I am doing)
