Not that impressive when you consider that half of these methods are just CFOP variations. However, I think I've played by the same rules as everyone else who has made a "sub x with y methods" video (For example, ZB, MGLS and CFCE are considered different methods in Ben's video as well).

I had fun making this, but I think it's pretty silly really, because I average over 15 for most of these methods and don't even know many of them in full (CFCE, ZB and MGLS). The real accomplishment for me is that I'm close to sub 10 global with 3 of these methods (CFOP, Roux and CFOP-Roux hybrid).

I feel like this might be easier to do than sub 20 with 20 methods since you only need to do half the number of methods.

Dang! Maybe Faz will put out a sub 5 with 5 methods ;))))


Maybe sub 6 with 6 methods? He probably has CFOP, CFCE, ZB and MGLS solves somewhere in his 41 sub 6s videos; all he needs are ZZ and Freefop solves. With an easy EOcross, ZZ should be manageable, and he could just pass off a solve with a triple xcross as a Freefop solve. Would take a crap ton of solves, but I think it's just remotely possible.

I doubt he'll see it as a good use of his time though. This is pretty silly anyway.

Will you practice BLD for Irish Champs? :p

I really should, shouldn't I? Haven't picked up a blindfold in ages... I suppose I will. I'm only aiming for a sub 10 average in 3x3, so I really don't need to be doing all this practice.

Sub-6 is definitely possible, but I know that sub-5 would be very hard for anyone, even Feliks.

@Brest: In Columns reconstruction, the total time is 8.22 but in the video it's 9.92, check that out :)

Also, the movecount is 48s 52e, not 37s 41e. I was very impressed with myself for a second lol.

Fixed these errors, thanks for the heads-up. Let me know if you see more, as these are mostly uncommon methods I don't have pre-made stats for them.

Sure! A decent, no-parity scramble could give you a low 30s single or possibly a sub-30 with some luck = definitely worth minimally revising your 3-cycles for :)
