Just really easy crosses and then nice F2L pairs...

Haven't had one of these in a long time

The standard alg for that OLL is sune then F R U R' U' F'. I noticed the skip after I did the sune part, so that's how I wrote it down. if I saw the skip in a speedsolve I would do U2 fluluf U.

oh, I should probably actually learn OLL, maybe it would make solutions like yours more understandable... but then I also wouldn't be able to COLL so much, so I'll probably continue to be lazy for as long as I can

Or you could use a method that doesn't involve full OLL. You know you want to.

I swear. You're like that girl in Twilight who was like "oh em gee, which boy should I pick, my heart is so confused," except for you it's methods instead of boys that you're picking between.

Spoiler: :P

I mean this in good humor, I promise. Honestly, I think it's cool that you're as good as you are with that many methods. Is cross on left looking like it could be a main method for you, (if you even want a "main" method--you don't need one) or are you just messing around with it?

You could just go ahead with full OLL and then influence EO more during F2L

I want to, but I'm slow with other methods, and I don't like being slow, so I usually lose motivation to practise other methods after a week or so.

Haha, I've never read/seen twilight (or I have seen one, but not for a while)... does she go back to the same boring boy again and again?

I should hope so I'm not that fast with most of them; I'm only sub-20 with four methods other than CFOP (Roux/ZZ/COL/PCMS), and one of them is the same as CFOP but from a different angle. I want to like COL, but it is slower for me at the moment, and although I can see myself practising it occasionally (just like Roux) I probably will never practise it enough for it to become my main method. I'll just be messing around with it. PCMS/Roux are barely sub-20 for me, so I probably won't be ever switching to them unless I suddenly improve a few seconds with them.

Too much effort + too much effort If I wanted to influence EO during F2L, I'd just use ZZ.

Switch to PCMS! Be the only person ever to use PCMS as their main method! (Which would be epic.)

Should have been faster, but whatever.

Nah, it's no better than Roux. It's just a different way to do F2B, and I don't really think it's faster.
