There are 2 big cube petrus methods I know of:

TSSH - Speedsolving.com Wiki

4trus - Speedsolving.com Wiki

but u could also just do it like Meyer method but don’t do roux in the end just expand and do petrus
https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php?title=Meyer_method

thanks for the help! i'll check these out. 4trus doesn't look too promising but tssh seems interesting.

though i did just get my pb single on my second solve in months using roux so i think i might switch, at least for a little while . i'm sure i'll still use petrus for 5x5+ - with redux - so it seems i've just made the help i've asked for useless to me. oops

thanks in spite of my renewed interest in roux

 

[finger go brr]

after a few days of using roux, i've decided to switch back to cfop

i am incredibly disappointed that i am now no longer mildly unique /hj

 

[finger go brr]

haven't updated this in a few weeks. since switching to cfop i have achieved sub-40

progress on pll is slow

 

[finger go brr]

i bought a skewb + pyra.

still waiting for it to ship. hopefully i get a skewb and a better pyra than i already have within a week. i don't actually know what pyra i have, only that it's qiyi, so afaik i could just be getting the same triangle cube i already have but stickerless instead of stickered. this is still a massive improvement.

also i might be going to manchester spring (registrations aren't even open yet so nothing's certain) bc it happens to line up very well with my family's plans for spring break. that would be my first comp!

edit: forgot to mention i ordered a speedstacks too

 

[finger go brr]

i'm signed up for manchester spring!

i'm signed up for manchester spring!

Did u move houses? It said you were from the uae before.

 

[finger go brr]

no. as i said it happens to line up well with my family's plans for spring break. i'm half scottish half american so i was going to the uk anyway at around that time to visit relatives. i still live in dubai.

Maybe if a comp happens here we can meet up.

i lost motivation for 3x3 so now i'm grinding OH. right now i average 1:05 - 1:15.

here's a chaotic average of 5 involving a sub 1 single and 2 separate occasions in which i mess up pll:

ignore scramble i did a hand scramble because i don't want to spend half of my 6x6 practice scrambling

 

[finger go brr]

last night i dropped knives on my foot (for some reason there was just a jar of knives on the counter which i knocked over. "knives" was not a spelling error ). i won't go into detail but in short it involved blood and a trip to the er. no tendons were damaged; the wound was superficial. i'm fine.

my skewb finally got delivered a few days ago. i average 15.

i have a stackmat now.

i average 1:05 in OH. i think i'll main this event.

edit: just to be clear i can still practice cubing! just no 3x3 w/ feet for the next 2 weeks
