Nothing can be both "easy" and "fast." If you have the mentality that you can be fast within 20 minutes of reading some random thing on the internet or the watching some random video on youtube, you are sadly mistaken. Start practicing because it is the only way to get faster.
 
There is no easiest AND fastest way. There is an easiest OR fastest way (only kinda). LBL is definitely easiest, but there is nothing terribly expedient about it. Advanced methods are all very fast, but whether one is faster or another is completely dependent on your commitment to the method.

I mean like out of the advanced fast methods, which is the easiest?

There is no easiest way to get fast. The only way is practicing. The four most common methods, 'advanced methods' (imo) are CFOP, Roux, Petrus, and ZZ.
 
I think you might need to commit a bit more. So far, you've made a thread saying your beginner's method had too many algs and now you've made one basically asking to be Faz, but really really easy, plzthx.

If you want to be fast, you'll have to choose a method, learn it, and practice. It takes time, work and commitment. There is no easy road, there rarely is in anything worth having.
 
I think it is safe to say that more people get better faster with CFOP.

as in, CFOP users have higher |dAVG|/dt for longer periods of time than users of other methods (especially through the 20-10 seconds range where it counts the most).
 
CFOP with beginners LL as in jasmine lee's , badmephisto's and "you can do the cube" tutorials is probably easiest to get relatively fast relatively fast.

All three tutorials have already been discussed in the various beginners threads you started over the last couple of days.

Yeah I started and I thought 12 algs was a lot. Obvisouly you didn't read on because if you did, you woldn't of written 'now you've made one basically asking to be Faz, but really really easy, plzthx.' I got them in a day so now it seems easy-peasy. So thats the algs bit done. Reading the last bit makes me feel like I should quit now, and I've just got going.

Sorry if you hadn't noticed this.

...I don't encourage that you quit, but I do recommend that you commit...

As I said to you last time, I'm not telling you that you should quit, and I'm certainly not on some kind of mission to break your spirit. But everything I said is true.

If you want to be fast, you'll have to choose a method, learn it, and practice. It takes time, work and commitment. There is no easy road, there rarely is in anything worth having.

This is exactly what I encourage you to do. Brush yourself off, choose a method and practice.

EDIT: Honestly, I'm not a mean spirited person, so please don't read my posts as too negative.

No method is better than the other. Every method has its pros and cons. A hard method may be fast, but an easy method may be hard to make fast.

Well, considering most people's definitions of "good" when talking about methods is "fast", I think that it's very easy to say that there are certain methods which are better than others. Still, I agree that Fridrich, Petrus, ZZ, Roux, and possibly Waterman are all really fast methods which can't really be called better than one another.
 
For the OP, I would echo what quite a few here have already said, easy methods are designed to be easy to learn. Fast methods have no such requirement and will generally be much harder to learn completely. Out of all the methods people would generally consider fast, CFOP is probably the easiest to understand - but personally, I don't find that to be good justification for choosing a speedsolving method.


Fewer algorithms doesn't make it easier. IMO, it's not as intuitive as LBL. You really shouldn't need any algorithms for the first layer.

(1) Fewer algs does make it easier to learn, provided the steps which don't use algs are relatively straight forward.

(2) Overall 8355 requires more intuition than LBL, which for some comes more naturally than learning algs. Whether one is easier than the other depends on the solver.

(3) FL corners can be done in exactly the same way as LBL (without algs), but spamming the sexy move means it can be done with very little thinking, without the need to learn any extra algs (making the 8355 FL easier than LBL FL).

Saying that a particular system is easier than all other conceivable systems is a pretty bold statement to make.
