What Method Do You Use?

[Tiw]

2x2: at the moment LBL, but I'm going to learn Guimond
3x3: Fridrich full OLL+PLL (sometimes I start with a 2x2x3 block)
3x3 FM: A mix of Petrus, Fridrich and Heise.
3x3 BLD: I'm going to learn the beginner Pochmann method
4x4/5x5/7x7: Reduction (6x6 I would do the same way)

 

[waffle=ijm]

2x2 - FL +CLL
3x3 - Roux...duh
4x4 - redux with edge pairing on E
5x5 - redux
6x6 - redux
7x7 - redux
3x3 BLD - M2/freestyle corners (I haven't done a blind solve in months)

 

[Nukoca]

Could we get a poll attached to this?

 

[Nilxchaos]

3x3 - Cross, F2L, (almost, G-perms) 3LLL
4x4 - Reduction, But I just got it yesterday.

 

[not_kevin]

I learned Pyraminx! I normally use CF.

 

[Thieflordz5]

1x1-U U' Simple =)
2x2- same as 3x3 except only corners =)
3x3-ZZ setup, fredrich F2L (I guess...) 2 look OLL, full PLL
3x3BLD- Trying to learn M2/R2 but I still think the beginner pochman is a pain in the *rear end*
4x4-reduction to 3x3, parity on OLL, parity on PLL (depends)
5x5- Reduction!
Megaminx-Star, F2L (I guess...), block insertion (middle-edge-corner-whatchamacallits), F2L (well it really should be called F11L right?) 2 look OLL (sometimes 3...), then 2 Look PLL (corners/edges) (sometimes 3 depending on if I can get an adjacent clockwise/ccw rotation of edges)

times:
1x1-Really fast
2x2-duno, never timed... (maybe 20? Like I said, I don't know)
3x3-35~ish
3x3BLD-Mem not good enough... Not enough ram XD
4x4-3:30~ish
5x5-5 minutes~ish
Megaminx-10 minutes~ish (haven't practiced)

I think that's a great idea! What other way will people be able to see the statistics without searching through the whole thread?

 

[endless_akatsuki]

2x2-random LBL (never practice...I get like 10s)
3x3-Friedrich
4x4-VERY slow reduction (never practice...)

You mean have a poll for every method on every puzzle? Do you know how long that would be? Plus not everyone uses direct methods, some people mix methods or use variations.

Yeah, I agree, it would be hard to get a poll, for example, I use ZZ F2L, but O/PLL (no ZZLL for me, too lazy right now...)
there could also be a petrus-Roux combo, or a roux/O/PLL or whatever, It would be hard to do, but pretty cool to see...

Well, how many options does a poll let you have? I've never done a poll.

I don't know how many... I'd assume something like 8..

BTW, There are quite a few combos...
Full Fred
full petrus
full roux
full ZZ
full ZB
ZZF2L, O/PLL
Petrus F2L, O/PLL (not sure if petrus has it's own LL)
ZBF2L, O/PLL
And that's already 8...

 

[byu]

Yeah Petrus has its own LL, but I don't like it.

And there are 9 options I think.

 

[Nukoca]

Full Fred
full petrus
full roux
full ZZ
full ZB
ZZF2L, O/PLL
Petrus F2L, O/PLL (not sure if petrus has it's own LL)
ZBF2L, O/PLL

Fred? Never heard of that.

 

[ThePizzaGuy92]

interesting to read what some of you use.

2x2x2: FL, LL [i forgot a few CLL cases, but I have most memorized]
3x3x3: Full cfop
4x4x4-7x7x7: reduction/cfop
SQ-1: self-made method with some of Lars's algs
Megaminx: same was 3x3x3 with corners-last LL
Pyraminx: idk??
BLD: ol' Pochmann


I s'pose thats it.

 

[SimonWestlund]

2x2 - guimond
3x3 - cfop (2 OLLs left )
4x4-7x7 - Reduction/cfop
megaminx - is there another method? F2L, S2L, Erik's LL
Pyraminx - LBL
Sq1 - Lars Vandenbergh's with a worse square shape method
BLD - M2 edges, OP corners.

 

[rahulkadukar]

2x2 : LBL with 2 Look LL
3x3 : LBL with 3 Look LL
4x4 upto 10x10 : Redux with 2 Edge Pairing
3x3 BLD : 3OP

 

[SimonWestlund]

2x2 : LBL with 2 Look LL
3x3 : LBL with 3 Look LL
4x4 upto 10x10 : Redux with 2 Edge Pairing
3x3 BLD : 3OP

what about 11x11?

 

[rahulkadukar]

what about 11x11?

I think I will use the same method as I use for 4x4x4 to 10x10x10

Actually I am yet to try it, somehow I dont like odd cubes.

Anyway I plan to learn 1 Look LL on the 11x11x11

 

[Kidstardust]

3x3 : fridrich 21/21 PLL 16/57 OLL
4x4 : reduction
5x5 : reduction
clock : pochmann method
