Looking for an intermediate method

Having reached the point where I am happy with solving with basic methods such as LBL an 8355, what would be a good introduction method to intermediate solving?
 
Hi!

There are basically three methods nowadays that people use:

Roux
ZZ
CFOP

With all of them you can get really fast, it comes down to personal preference. Roux for example is very heavy on M-turns, so if you don't like those, roux might be not the method for you.

I really encourage you to look into all methods and then decide which one fits you the best.
And i think you should try the methods in the same order as listed above, as for example doing cfop and then switching to roux is a very tough thing.

And have a look in this thread: https://www.speedsolving.com/forum/threads/beginners-guide-to-choosing-a-speedsolving-method.43471/

Petrus is listed there too, but Petrus is pretty much outdated (don't punch me for that dear petrus-solvers! :p )

If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
 
Part of an introduction to CFOP could be using a 4LLL (4-look last layer)
That is to say, completing the U layer last and in 4 steps.
This can break down as a 2-step orientation and a 2 step permutation.
here's the simplest efficient way I know to do that: http://solvexio.cf/app/#/FIXLL_OnePage

Also if you think a corners first method would be interesting, then check out LMCF.
It can start with little memorization then expand greatly for as much as you want to learn.

Based on that but for a beginner, I use this: http://solvexio.cf/app/#/Corn_E_Midge
It's a nice mix of intuitive solving and executing algorithms,
