Easiest way of Speedcubing

[StachuK1992]

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

Learn from this statement, and myself.
Because of my constant changes in methods, I never really got good at any specific one. If you're not interested in speed so much, then this is actually a pretty fun thing to do, as your inspection, rather than "where am I going to do my cross" is more like "what am I going to do?" leaving you with a lot of options, and in my opinion sets you up for learning a lot.
If you're going to do this, then don't care about speed.

Either stick with one method _now_ and gogo practice
or learn lots. If you choose this, don't be lazy with any specific method you choose.

If you're going to pick one method, I recommend ZZ, but I'm highly biased.

Cheers, and good luck.

Roux.
9 algs, and you're good to go for sub20.

But there seems to be a learning curve

That sounds good do you know a good tutorial?

Only 9 Algs but may take a while before you become fast with it: requires a lot of practice to get intuition / insight.

Fridrich is definitely very fast, but requires learning over 100 algorithms, so it is not for everyone.

Intuitive F2L does not require algorithms. Full OLL and PLL require 57 + 21 = 78 algs.

Fridrich is the easiest fast way of solving the cube.

Check the SpeedSolving Wiki for the pros and cons of methods. Some of the block building methods such as petrus and roux could be hard for beginners because they require alot of intuitive so it's better using Fridrich.

Whered you get 100 from? 78 LL algs (OLL [57] and PLL [21])and maybe 10 F2L alg cases (I only use 3 or so alg cases, all the rest are intuitive).
On topic, the easiest imo is LBL. There is no "fastest" or "easiest" to learn for the advanced methods imo. Just practice.
Note: most of the best speedcubers in the world use Fridrich.

Some People learnt F2l Algorithms not intuitive. There is 42 basic cases. 57+21+42= 120 alg.

Yes, but most people would agree that completely alg based f2l isn't as flexible.

This is true, but a little misleading. Most would agree that Fridrich doesn't necessarily have more potential, it's just the most popular because it's predominantly alg-based.

What do you mean?

Maybe I'm mistaken, but I thought that almost everyone agreed that Fridrich, Petrus, Roux, and maybe ZZ all have the potential to be sub-10.
