Petrus Method

 
Last edited:
If your going into Petrus just learn the method from http://lar5.com/cube then watch ErikJ's videos on youtube. After that, its just practice, practice, practice, practice..........And it sometimes help to rewatch some of ErikJ's videos after you get better because you will most likely understand it a lot better.

Petrus is better than Roux! (BTW I don't know anything about Roux)

Roux is better than Petrus! (BTW I know a fair amount about Petrus)

REASONS TO BACK UP MY OPINION:
-Petrus has a really slow last layer system.
-Roux only requires knowledge of 9 full-length algorithms, and 3 really short 4 move ones. And if you want to be really lazy, I think you can get by with only 2 full length algorithms.
-Roux has 4 simple, fast steps. Petrus has 7 longer steps.
-Roux's last step is consisted of only <M, U> moves, allowing very fast moves.

I agree with byu.
btw, I want to ask about something

I have seen the video of the roux method and CF
Aren't the last part of CF about places midges and the last part of roux or what are the same??
 
That last sentence of yours is completely incoherent but I think I get the point. Though I haven't seen it documented anywhere, I believe [the] Roux [method] was inspired by the last step of Waterman/CF (6E4C), and then he (Roux) sorta worked backwards to create a more economical beginning using blockbuilding. I think.

Why do you guys think of methods as religions? Why can't he learn more than one? If you're so convinced that you're favourite method is the best, wouldn't he notice that by himself with time and choose to use it?

Lars himself has said that it's the F2L that's Petrus, you can solve LL as you wish. No need to use 3-look LL.

In what way is that better than Petrus?

Huh. The Petrus steps are much shorter, or if they aren't, you're doing something really stupid and shouldn't blame the method.

And Petrus steps don't? S2 is often <U,F,R>, S3 consists of triggers, S4 can be just <U,R> and LL algs aren't bad, either.
