Next thing to learn... Opinions please =)

[Toad]

Right to set the scene:

I average on the 3x3 about 28 - 30 seconds and know full pll and about 15 OLLs.

Without learning anything knew I average about 1:40 with OH. (only done this a few times)

I average about 14 seconds on the 2x2 using Ortega method.

I can also solve 4x4, 5x5, megaminx, pyraminx. But not very fast on any of them.

I would like votes on what I should learn next:

1. 3x3 BLD
2. 3x3 OH (properly like average sub 60)
3. 2x2 Guimond Method
4. Speedsolving 4x4 (and 5x5)
5. Just improve 3x3 (f2l and more olls)

Please give the number and reason.

Sorry for essay,
Toad.

3x3 BLD.. just because it seems a lot more impressive.. to me anyway.

Maybe 80% BLD, because its something new to you, and about 20% OH, because its fun and looks cool!

Are you not particularly interested in any of them? I'd say you'll do the best and enjoy it the most if you learn what you're interested in already.

Some have recommended blind, and I thought it was fun when I learned it, even though I don't ever practice it anymore. It's actually quite easy to learn, too.

 

[Toad]

No I'm interested in all of them and want to do them all some time... I was just wondering if anyone else had any tips from like the order they learnt different things in...

 

[Kian]

Well I don't think there's anything wrong with learning them all at once. There's really not that much to LEARN. BLD is mostly just practice and understanding how it's done. The only algs you'll have to learn for your goals are for Guimond and LL cases on a 3x3. I see no reason why you need to separate them.

Honestly, I think you'll enjoy it all more if you try multiple things at once. I've never practiced just one thing and I don't think it inhibited me at all.

 

[Toad]

Ok fair enough. Thanks a lot for the tips guys =)

I guess I'll just give it all a go as Kian said...

Learn BLD.

 

[zaub3rfr4g]

2x2x2 sub 10 and at the same time improve F2L, is the key

BLD is cool to learn and it's fun too. Stick with ortega for 2x2, you can easily get sub-10 and faster just with practice and perhaps more efficient algs. Just because you want to learn something new doesn't mean that you cannot practice other events. I would say improve everything you already know while you are learning something new (like BLD) just do whatever you fancy.
