Hello fellow cubers!
I average around 12s on 3x3 and I know 2LLL. I've pretty much fully optimized my OLL's and PLL's, and I think I'm ready to learn another alg set. I know a lot of you will try to discourage me from going straight from OLL/PLL to learning ZBLL, but I honestly I think ZBLL something that I should learn early, so that when I'm averaging sub 9 or sub 8 (hopefully) I will have a firm grasp on ZBLL.
There several other alg sets, but I don't think it's worth learning any of them in their entirety. Of course it's important to know some of the easy cases of these alg sets, but learning more than just the easy cases is pointless imo.
- WV is not very useful if you know ZBLL bc you can just insert the pair normally then do ZBLL
- COLL is pointless if you know ZBLL
- OLLCP is not that great. Except for the easy cases, doing OLLCP+EPLL is about the same speed as OLL+PLL
- Most of the VLS algs aren't that much faster than inserting the pair then doing OLL
- BLE and CLS cases don't show up very often
Here are some pros/cons for ZBLL.
Pros
1. Only needs 1 look
2. Can be much more efficient than OLL/PLL
3. CP recognition actually is really easy if you use some sort of CXLL (for example CLL on 2x2)
4. EO control can increase your chances of getting a ZBLL case
Cons
1. EP recognition
2. ZBLL cases don't always pop up. And using EO control to increase the chances requires more brainpower
3. omg which of the 493 algs is this one. omg i did the wrong alg. omg why am i learning this alg set
I'm going to be starting by learning the T set, probably will take me around three months.
