I'm not exactly sure where to post this because it falls in many categories.
I have been cubing for a few months now, I can solve the 2x2 through 4x4, and can do 5x5 sometimes, depending on the edge pairing. I have been wanting to learn something new for a while but I am unable to decide where to start next. I am considering -
3x3 BLD - I looked over 3 cycle method, and know some of the algorithms, but I have yet to learn any memo and haven't even tried a full solve with my eyes open.
Big cubes - I can do a 4x4 with a basic single edge pairing reduction. I don't know any algorithms for edges, and only know the basic parity algs
Learn all PLL - I know 9/21, all the 3 cylces, H, Z, T, Y and F. I haven't spent much time learning new ones. I just learn one whenever I'm thinking about it, not often.
Megaminx - I really want to buy a Mefferts minx but they are never available on c4y. Should I just get a cheap one anyway or wait it out? I have got everything except for the last layer permutation on a computer simulator. And I really enjoy a new, intuitive puzzle.
2x2 - I just use basic 3x3 algs for it, I was thinking about learning Otrega, but I don't know how much I care about 2x2...
Commutators and Conjugates - I can do some 3 cylce conjugates but don't know any commutators. This kinda goes with BLD, but I would like to know it either way.
Block building methods - I know Petrus, but it's so fake. My 2x2x2 and 2x2x3 blocks are just cross + F2L. I was thinking about Roux or Heise, but I struggle with both of them.
Color Neutrality - I don't know, I'm about 10-20 seconds slower if I don't start on the white face, or yellow. I'm not very good at the cross (5 seconds or so) and I just don't see a viable white cross sometimes.
OH - This is just a last minute thought, I dunno
I ended up writing more than I was planning on, sorry for the wall of text, thanks in advance for any insight you guys provide.
