What 2x2 method do you use?

[LNZ]

Standard 3x3 algs I've learned so far. A 2x2 is simply a 3x3 without edge cubies.

That means LBL (there's only 2 layers on a 2x2, so any 2x2 method is by definition LBL) and 2-look OLL/PLL with a few selective Fidrich algs thrown in for good measure. The T-Perm is great for a 2x2 cube.

I am currently learning the fine art of Keyhole F2L right now.

CLL, ortega, SS
whatever the scramble is good for

sometimes i use guimond but that usually doenst result in very fast times

I use Ortega.

Yay.

Do you have any clue about how Guimond (for example) works ? It is definitely not a LBL method.
BTW, I use Guimond with a few extra orientation algs, and trying to predict separation whenever I can but I still need to practice that.

I use Guimond and Ortega
usually i predict the seperation step during preinspection.

I can sub 3.5 with Guimond and sub 4 with Ortega

CLL, Ortega but normally LBL. It's actually rather fast. I can get sub 6 averages fairly often. CLL is alot better but I only know a few.

Sorry, I do not know any dedicated 2x2 method yet. But I'm currently getting Keyhole F2L to dummy untimed solves level now. Some day I'll learn a dedicated 2x2 method.

Can someone tell me more about this SS method?

I use ortega but I suck D"""" it
9 second average

Work on look ahead and if your not color neutral become color neutral.

Fridrich. HUGE FAIL!!! I know ortega, but I get like 15 sec average with it so I dont use it.

Thanks Im colour neutral on 2x2 so I guess I should practice look ahead. Also Im slow at execution so i should practice that as well

I'm an Ortega user. I still can't get a consistently sub-20 average, but I'm getting better. I started with Fridrich on a 3x3, solving corners only. Fun XD

I lol'ed.

Guimond, and Ortega when I see nice U-face cases. Being flexible is always an advantage

 

[ianini]

i like ortega
