My Quest for Sub 8 Petrus

[Username: Username:]

I could probably manage it even though im terrible at learning algorithms hehe

oh then, learn OCLLs it's easy then learn PLL.

This is an extremely dumb conversation. It's not Petrus if you don't do Petrus EO. If there's no EO, it's FreeFOP. If you do Petrus without EO then you don't do Petrus. 3 Look Last Layer for Petrus is OCLL->CP->EP, and is 13 Algs. There's no 2-look OLL because EO is finished. 2 Look Last Layer would be OCLL->PLL, which is 28 algs.

Sorry, wasn't really sure about the EO part.

Im actually quite interested in trying to speedsolve with a lesser known method.
I still do LBL and I average 45 seconds with it so I havent learned a speedsolving method.
I havent really looked into it that much but is Petrus more Intuitive or Algorithm Intensive like CFOP?

Wayyy more intuitive

 

[PetrusQuber]

Petrus is definitely on the more intuitive side, much more blockbuilding than CFOP (obviously) and CFOP uses like 78 something algs and Petrus uses only OCLLs and PLLs, but if you wanna get serious and get really fast times with Petrus, you are going to have to learn 493 algorithms (ZBLL).

Not necessarily full ZBLL, OCLL and PLL is good enough

you know any good tutorials?

Lar5.com, SpeedCubeReview, search it up on the forums and YT for more results. Petrus will be confusing at first.
I might make a Petrus guide at one point but I’ve been stalling for a while :/

Yeah I meant like if you wanna be sub 9, sub 8, sub 7 maybe it's worth it to do ZBLL? maybe wrong tho

I would say that in order to be sub-8 with Petrus, you almost have to know full ZBLL. (I don’t know enough about it, though, so correct me if I’m wrong.)

Not really sure

*sigh* 2 look OCLL, isn't worth it, OCLL is, let me tell ya, stupid easy, PLL, well I'll give you 2 look PLL if you're an absolute beginner, and also, @Jupiter are you comfortable with learning 21 simple PLL algorithms?
now let's avoid getting off-topic any longer.

i was thinking like 2 look oll so my mind automatically thought to look ocll
sorry about the confusion we were both being kinda dumb we didnt need to argue that long

 

[PetraPine]

If people are sub 7 with ZZ(cross) without ZBLL you can probably be sub 8 Without ZBLL
I know that but the added efficiency isnt that nessecarry for ZZ and the fastest ZZ times dont even use ZBLL,
So With ZBLL ZZ Could be better but it is nowhere near nessecarry for bieng very fast with the method and because zbll would add the same efficiency for petrus it would probably be possible to sub 8 without ZBLL for that reason.
Not trying to be rude with "the eyes up" just want to you see my edit (=

I think ZZ and Petrus is different, the only thing same about them is EO.

Yeah they are different but I think he is correct in the sense you don’t NEED ZBLL for sub 8, like how people say you can be sub 15 with 4LLL

 

[Tao Yu]

ZBLL isn't all or nothing, if you just learn like a half or a quarter of it, that can make your solves a lot luckier.

Really though the answer is obvious. The less ZBLL you know, the better you have to be at EOF2L.

I think the EOf2l step is really easy and there isn't to many algorithms for f2l because its one side and its 2gen i'd say you'd need better tps in general and to have near perfect blockbuilding as well.

 

[PetrusQuber]

Wow two pages of random stuff in one day :O

 

[PetrusQuber]

It’s about time!

I finally got a new PB ao5 after a few months of near no improvement! Decently lucky solves there, and I was luckily in the middle of a session(warmed up, not burned out).

 

[PetraPine]

Doing warmup rn,
My thumb hurts like heck for somereason tho

No joke I whisper-squealed "and your phone was charged!".

 

[Nmile7300]

Perhaps a charged phone is actually the secret to your improvement. Just like @Micah Morrison and the car
