anyway, I like ZZ-D but I don't want to learn 2GLL just to make it usable.
Its a king OH method anyway, even without 2gLL, even with 2gOCLL-EPLL..well, I think the only reason zz-d would be viable is that it ends with 2gll...
the issue with 2g that is that it's very ergonomic but can tend to be inefficient. solving the entire last layer with 1 algorithm is one of few ways in which you can efficiently take advantage of 2g
the other option is to solve all of the remaining f2l+ll with new algsets, like maybe some 3phase orient-separate-permute type thing. those algs will likely be R2-heavy though
ZZ = Roux and both >CFOP in terms of both ergonomics and efficiencyzz-d w/o 2gll is certainly not a king OH method, and i'm not sure zz is even a king OH method
but CFOP is not comparable to ZZ in terms of ergonomics, which I think is a lot more important for OH.ZZ and CFOP are usually comparable in efficiency, so I don't know where you're getting that
Roux is more efficient but has a lower tps esp. in OH
I do say that the beginning of ZZ is a little hard. But I still like the ergonomics of COLL-EPLL over OLL/PLL. You know how hard it is to do G perms OH? In fact, I specifically don't use CFOP for OH because of how much I hate OH-ing the last layer.I think ZZ ergonomics is a bit overhyped for OH. Sure, you only have to do z rotations, but there are still double turns that CFOP doesn't have and awkward D moves.
I decided to get my 4x4 method and optimize it into a 3x3 method, and actually, it seems quite good, so i'll place the format here. I found it to be a hybrid of Petrus and PCMS, which are two methods highly acclaimed for their low movecount and ergonomics. Since none of the steps are really unique to this method, I'm inclined to call it LMBC, or Low Movecount Block Conglomerate.
- Make a 2x2x3 block at the back of the cube. The sky is the limit. I usually do A 2x2x2 block and add a 1x2x2 extension. However, you could also make a 1x2x3 and extend that into a 2x2x3, or make a 3cross and add the two f2l pairs.
- Make two columns on the F face. you could also do a psuedo WV here if you wanted to.
-COLL/CLL
-L5EOP
Hilarious, this is literally hawaiian kociemba + a y rotation
It just makes my day that two people have come up with this method independently.
