Hey J-B,got nay suggestions for my method?
I tested the variant where you make the whole columns and insert the cross, then you just do eo exactly like In Roux and you finish the same. It works. For the second method I have to think a bit, because I don't know how to do eo with 8 edges ok? When I'll finish I'll send you everything
 
New method idea: Using Pinkie Pie roux variant with CFOP instead

There is a roux variant called pinkie pie:
I think this variant can be applied to CFOP.
The idea is to place the UL/UR edges while doing the CFOP cross.
Here is an example solve to show what I mean:

B R2 B' D2 F D2 F U2 B' D2 F' R D L' F L2 D2 F U F2 // Scramble

x2 // Inspection
R' D F' L R' D // Pseudo-cross
U2 R U' R' d L U' L' // 1st pair
U D' R U' R' U L' U' L u // 2nd and 3rd pair
L U L' U' L U L' // 4th pair
U' F R U R' U' R2 D R' U R D' R2 U' F' // OLLCP
U2 M2 // LSE 4b
U M U2 M // LSE 4c

I think this method is better than CFOP because finishing LSE after OLLCP is way more efficient than PLL, you have more room for creativity at the beginning of the solve and many OLLCP algs are as good as their standard OLL alg.
Also OLLCP algs are easier to recognize and look better to execute than ZBLL algs to me.
That's why I think this method can also compete with the ZB method while having less than half the amount of algs.
This is actually a pretty good method; here's a link to a writeup with additional variants. No More PLL Method I'm not sure that it's better than straight CFOP.
But my current main method is ZZ-4c, which includes doing an pseudo EOCross and starting the solve an M2 slice away so the 4b setup is completed during the EOcross.

Didn't know it was already proposed, thanks for sharing!

PS - doing EOcross at the beginning of the method (which turns the method into ZZ-4c) takes this method over the top in terms of viability, making it competitive to CFOP and ZB
