What was your first method?

Using both (the video helped a lot!) I came down to averaging a minute in a week or so. Once I got serious, I got sub-30 with LBL within about a month. I then switched to F2L and now average sub-20 (barely)

That was by far the most helpful and influential video for my speedsolving. J Perm's got nothing on that video.

I know, right?

T-Perm for Corners has the advantage that there is only one. With the A-Perm you learn only one variation in the beginning, so you have to do it twice if it is on the wrong side.

to solve with A perm is the same thing if you think in terms of swapping a pair of unpermuted corners

in this case the unsolved pair is on the left (ignore the unmatching f2l)

so you should somehow be able to do this (in this case the alg will also affect edges because of parity)

 Setup 

F2 (R2 U' L2 U)2 F2 F2 (R2 U' L2 U)2 F2

 Moves 

F2 (R2 U' L2 U)2 F2

if you think in terms of just one correctly permuted corner you will need cw and ccw a perms OR then simply doing a U2 to setup for the other direction of the triangulation (ccw to cw and vice versa)

in the next case you got the blue orange corner solved and ccw A perm but with a U2 the solved corner becomes green orange and the direction of the A perm becomes cw

but the first method I mentioned is far superior

Not sure how to admit this, but between LBL and CFOP, my first Speedsolving method was Salvia.

except we don't speak spanish in Brazil
but well, it would be expecting too much from you

Rubik's LBL method, which I learned from the old(er) Rubiks.com pdf. A few websites have this pdf, so this probably isn't the site where I got it.

Rubik's PDF

LOL thats the exact same one I learned from rubiks.com it says "Ri" instead of R'

Rubik's likes to do things their own way =). The pictures showing the moves were very helpful though.

The problem is would I have done the proper joke about portugese, I would have said something with 'porch of geese'
And as we all know, mentioning geese to ducks is like a war declaration.
I basically did damage control.

My first method was a method that my dad made when he was a kid.
Basically just LBL but before solving the second layer, you do CP.
