Need Some Advice.

[Jilvin]

I need some help on where to go next with speedcubing. As some of you know, I am currently using Fridrich (cross, intuitive F2L, 2-look OLL, PLL *finally learned all G Perms)

So, now for the questioning, please choose reccomend one of these and give a reason:

1. NEXT I SHOULD DO:
A. 1-Look OLL Algorithms
B. All 41 F2L Algorithms rather than intuitive
C. Switch to a different method (list one if this is your choice)

2. IN THE FUTURE, IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO LEARN:
A. All 1221 one look LL algorithms!
B. ZBF2L
C. Vandenburgh-Harris stuff
D. Makisumi-Garron Last Slot plus corners
E. All 432520032274489856000 Optimal Algorithms for every position! (no)
F. Other?



The reason im creating this is because I got some quite heavy criticism on my intent to take on ZBF2L. So I would like more specific feedback from those who are better than me.

I'd suggest taking a move count of your intuitive F2L algorithms, and replace any really long ones with optimal ones. 2-look OLL isn't that bad, I can get sub-17 solves with it every so often. F2L is much more important than LL. Of course, having a 1-look OLL wouldn't hurt either, but that'd probably only save you an average of 1-2 seconds at most.

Scrap 2a and 2e.

VH isn't bad if you plan on learning ZB. After all, Jason Baum is learning the entire ZB method despite the criticism I'm sure he's getting/has gotten.

I've also heard a lot of criticism of MGLS, such as having a lot more algorithms for the same number of looks compared to ordinary CFOP. But then again, I've heard arguments that it would be good for OH... So up to your discretion.

If you are planning on going with Fridrich, learn all your OLLs (learn ones that will work for you), and work on minimizing your move count during the F2L.

If you want to try something different, work on another method. I'd recommend Roux.
