Where do you stop being a beginner and become a speedcuber?

Chris Olson has a series on PLL fingertricks, you could look that one up.Here Fingertricks also come along with getting faster imo

Thanks!

Oh right! Which is better : CFOP or Petrus?

You can't really say which method is better. I always thought that it was harder to get fast with Petrus. But that does not mean that Petrus is a slow or bad method. If you want to get fast you need to put the time and effort in it. (Practise). Just try the different methods and see which one you like best.

Vanilla CFOP is better than vanilla Petrus IMO because petrus, despite being more move efficient requires too many pieces to be planned at once with with some not very nice recognition and not a simple enough for most people to work with easily.

So, in conclusion, petrus is not necessarily a lesser method but it is certainly more difficult to get fast with.

Vanilla?

No changes or alterations from the original method.

Anyone who solves a cube for speed. Like if you solve the puzzle for fun, you're not a speedcuber

Alright so I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this but whatever.

I've always considered someone a "speedcuber" once they became sub 20. I have no idea why that barrier is so special, but I've always had this standard, and even I didn't call myself a speedcuber until I was sub 20.

Perhaps because sub-20 is one of the hardest barriers to break. I think that sub-30 would be a speedcuber, and sub-20 would be a good speedcuber.

Most people do CFOP, because it's mostly "mindless" algorithm spamming (which makes it fast). But you could be like me and learn both...

Petrus blockbuilding is somewhat hard to get used to, especially if you are from a cross-first background. But that doesn't worse, just harder.

Oh that's interesting? So as soon as I am sub20 it will get a lot easier? Nice to hear.

Uh... yeah. More or less.
