Oka is good for a method if you want to get faster, without having to learn too many algs. :tu Tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU9iSdVKHwI

If you want an easier method, use LBL, or if you want really easy, use Bob Burton's. If you want more advanced, you could learn L4E, but there are 70 algs or something. :(
I'd say max 30 algs you didn't already know, and there's a few movers, and a lot of intuitive cases. This is why I'm posting them in groups on my site, so people realize how few there are, that are more than 5 or 6 moves.

Cool. :tu I might try learning them between MCD and MSO. Also, for future reference (eg learning L4E), can I have a link to your site?

I use a method called FM or Flay Method there is a video tutorial at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tugvraaCeys
I am now working on a new method called IFM or Improved Flay Method (yeah i suck at names) It is the same start as FM and then you finish with L4E. I think it will be really good for my style of solving. But I haven't quite learnt all the L4E algorithms yet.

Please people don't post saying that L4E and IFM are exactly the same because they have a different starting

I've had some trouble making images for my cases, and first I'm posting a new method (newly published I mean) called Face Permute.

Is qqwref's site. Set one you know, then a few in set 2 and 3 you'll know as well.
You only need those sets. Work the rest out yourself, it's not hard :p

im new to pyraminx but quite a few of the methods sound the same to me

basicall solve the centers on one side ex. yellow
solve the edges on that side, completing a face
then solve remaining edges

i believe that is these methods are all the same

Bob Burton's method
LBL (Layer by Layer)
Johan Holmedahl's method
WO (Wedel-Odder) does steps in reverse

Seriously, every post you make, makes you look worse. They are exactly the same. The first step of Polish V, is to get 3 corners (the pieces under the tips with 3 stickers) and 2 edges solved on the same face. Then you solve the L4E.
"IFM" does exactly the same :fp

I just started learning oka youtube, and will switch to pure oka eventually.
My question is, at what point during the solve should you fix the tips.
Currently I fix the tip that is attached to the two edges in the beginning. And then when I am "key-holing" the other centers I rotate the tip then the center.
This adds a few seconds to my time though.

That's what I do, unless I see a nice solution and then I'll leave the final 3 tips to the end so that I don't forget what I saw in inspection. Tips really slow me down :\

Odder does them at the end, it seems. (Possibly first one at beginning?)

I do 0-1 while recognising the LL case and 0-3 after LL alg :)
