Mehta has a 45-50 movecount, which is way better than the movecount of CFOP

It isn't. OH CFOP movecount should be lower than normal CFOP. Mehta, on the other hand, shouldn't have a big difference in movecount between 2H and OH because it's heavily alg based. Ultimately, their OH movecounts should be quite similar.

and Mehta is rotationless, which will help avoid table abuse and save a ton of time

As a ZZ solver who solves rotationless, I disagree. Rotations don't take much time, whether it's OH or 2H. And good CFOP solves should only have around 2 on average anyway.

Lastly, erognomics. I argue CFOP has better OH ergonomics than Mehta.

Also, there's the practical disadvantage. You'll have to actively practice 2 completely different methods.

 

[MJbaka]

I will still practice OH CFOP, but I also want to try OH Mehta just to see which one is better for me.

 

[the dnf master]

Umm... Actually learning a better methods for OH is worth it. Luke Garrett's dad told me this at the Wyoming competition and gave the example of Carter Kucala, who uses CFOP two handed, and a different method one handed is nearly world class one handed with this method

what method does he use?

Epic PB Fail!!!!!!!
This is one of the easiest scrambles I've EVER had.
F L' F' L2 R2 F2 D U2 B2 L2 D2 U R2 L F' D' R' B' F U'
Inspection: y x2
L F D' L R' // XCross with a misslotted pair!

U R2 D R' U2 R D' R' U2 R' U'// OLL+PLL SKIP!
I swear this solve literally was like five seconds, but then I looked down at my stackmat and it hadn't even started!!! The solve literally felt sooo fast!

 

[MJbaka]

Aye I got a 15.47 PB OH single today! It was on CFOP, and I've narrowed down my OH options to Roux and ZZ, hence my Oh methods thread, but I haven't decided which yet

 

[Cubing Forever]

Tbh Mehta is one of the worst methods for OH, but if you enjoy it then go right ahead.

umm.. You're kinda not wrong, but worst is just an exaggeration. It ain't bad but it ain't as good as YruRU or Roux

 

[MJbaka]

Well I started practicing Roux OH yesterday and I think that is the path I will go for OH. Right now I am mainly focusing on getting my M moves fast and efficient block building, and I average about a minute one handed.

Nice. I average around a minute with Roux as well!!

 

[MJbaka]

Oof I was watching some example solves and realized I've been doing my F2L wrong throughout my entire journey of speedcubing. Whenever I did my F2L pairs, I would hold the hand that did vertical turns on the top and bottom, and the hand that did horizontal turns in home grip. I found that this often caused a ton of regrips because I constantly had to switch my hands between top/bottom grip and front/back grip. For someone who averages 12 seconds, this is going to be a hard habit to stop and start better finger tricks, but hopefully it reduces regrips and in the long run improve my times

 

[MJbaka]

Well school has just started up for me! Now that summer vacation is over I will not be able to practice as much, but I still plan on getting at least three hours a day in.

 

[MJbaka]

I got 0.70 Framecounted E Perm Tied WB! I'm too lazy to upload it right now but I definitely will soon

 

[MJbaka]

Massive OH Sub-20 Average of 5 fail. I had a 17, a 20, a DNF, a 17. On my last solve I was doing really good and had AUF at 18, but then I dropped the cube which turned the cube the other way, and my cube starting locking really bad and the solve ended up being a 25.

 

[MJbaka]

Literally broke all my 2x2 PB's except single (by the way this was my first sub 4 average of 50 with Ortega)
