Hey friend, what's up?
Okey, so I made this thread to give some ideas/links/etc for some newer ppl, and just for self to see how much I have progressed This thread will be only about CFOP, with time I'll try to make it full CFOP guide (for now only links to things I like) This might be helpful for beginners and for some experienced speedcubers looking for some ideas to help selves. Ofc pls correct every single mistake here (grammar&my solves). Let's go!
Cross
F2L
OLL
PLL
Method also known as Fridrich method is method which is very commonly used by speedcubers. It is easy, algorithmic and can be really nice. Even if ZZ and Roux should have more fans...
Start&Switching to CFOP
If you are new to speedcubing or you just want to switch methods from Petrus for example this might be helpful
First thing you should do is PRACTICE NO MATTER WHAT. If you are switching from LBL method (Layer by layer) CFOP is just extension of that.
CROSS
As a new CFOPer you should do cross with 10 moves or less, try to do it on D layer too. Even if this is hard and you are used to cross on U do it. If you are struggling with that you might try cross on L as a transition to D layer. Cross is hardest thing in hole CFOP, so don't be upset, if it goes wrong. Other thing about CFOP cross is fact that you make it directly to cross center (not opposite) also you should make it well-permuted at start.
Tips
F2L
Just learn intuitive F2L, at start the variant where, you need to orient your cross color to be facing U face is totally okey. Remember though to do not stay with this type of F2L for long amount of time. Your times are worse with F2L? No problem, just practice.
Some good tutorials:

badmephisto [2/2]
CBC, I like it too

Ofc with time I'll ad more links.
OLL&PLL=LL
As a begginer just learn 4LLL (4 look last layer), so 2 look OLL and 2 look PLL
I can't say much about it, just drill alg, do it 100x repeat
Algs:
Dot: (FRUR' U' F') (fRUR' U' f')
Line: F(RUR'U')F'
Peak: F(URU'R')F'
When (yellow, if cross color is white) cross is done:
H: R U2 R' U' R U R' U' RU' R' (sune combo)
setup: R U2 R' U' R U R' U' RU' R' U'
Pi: (R U2 R2 U') (R2 U') (R2 U2 R)
setup: R U2 R2 U' R2 U' R2 U2 R
Sune: R U R' U R U2 R'
setup: R U2 R' U' R U' R'
Antisune: R U2 R' U' R U' R'
setup: R U R' U R U2 R'
L: x' (R U' R' D R U R' D')
setup: x' (R U R' D R U' R' D' F)
U: R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R
setup: R U2 R D R' U2 R D' R2 U2
T: r U R' U' r' F R F'
setup: F R' F' r u R U' r'
I like that algs.

For 2look PLL I would I use:
Aa perm: x R' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 R2
or T perm: R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F'
Y perm: F R U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' R' F R F'
Ua perm: M2 U M U2 M' U M2 (bar on back)
Ub perm: M2 U' M U2 M' U' M2 (bar on back)
H perm: M2 U' M2 U2 M2 U' M2
Z perm: y M2' U' M2' U' M' U2' M2' U2' M'

So if you already know things mentioned higher, maybe you don't know those:
CROSS
Well, doing cross on D should be easy for you now. Do it in 8 moves or less. Try colour neutriality (CN), so basically solve cross on every color.
If, you think you are ready learn how to do xcross or how to use keyhole for xcross Do not give yourself inspection time, maybe try to see your first pair.
F2L
Most important etap in CFOP is F2L, train it most. Try to improve your F2L:
Learn how to lookahead: here or here
Learn advanced F2L:here, here, everywhere. It is so important, that I suggest learning nothing else for at least a week just to master it.
Watch all Collin's vids about F2L here and here
Well F2L is so important, that do it again, then repeat
PS:Cross to F2L transition is a thing
LL
Full PLL
If done Full OLL. Just do it. (PLL->OLL)
Maybe learn I am going to help evry single person, who wants to learn it It is great, you can predict AUF before PLL and make less possible cases for PLL. In my opinion really handy. DO IT!!
I will definitely extend this (algs, sites etc), not today, but still..
I want to make this place a great central for CFOP knowledge. We'll see.
Last part is going to be extended REALLY much. Next update: next weekend
I hope it helped you, normally I would blog it, but I can't.
My goal is to make it good for everybody
See ya!
