Which detailed method do you use?

[Lofty]

With the huge variety that there is polls like this aren't very helpful. I think more basic polls are great where we just pick the basic method we use. (Fridrich, Roux, Petrus, ZZ, etc) And then in the text we can elaborate on what we use.
-I do X-cross only when it is super obvious so basically never.
-Basic F2L, I learned intuitive so I make full use of all my empty slots. Nothing too fancy because a lot of finger tricks are just not good for OH so a basic RU insert is often best.
-Partial edge control
-All OLL minus the one with no edges done.
-Some COLL, not the Sune cases.
-PLL

I would rather see the methods not really mentioned by name, but more grouped by class and common substeps, techniques, etc.

I'm the only person that voted Roux... I am disappointed.

 

[ianini]

Cross on yellow or white
Intuitive and algorithmic F2L
2-look oll with 10 or so extra oll's
full pll

 

[hawkmp4]

Cross on white. Blockbuilding for X-cross if I feel so inclined and I see it pretty quickly. Intuitive F2L. 2-look OLL. Full PLL.
I'm gonna switch to Roux though.

-All OLL minus the one with no edges done.

Even though it only comes up around 1/208, you should still learn it. It took me barely more than a second to learn, as it was really simple. M U R U R' U' M2 U R U' r'

Not the best alg though.

 

[Ranzha]

Uh....
My methods are way different.
So, none of the above.

Unless Brian makes a mistake during his solve he will never encounter that case. Also, the probably is not 1/208 for the case you are thinking of. Lastly, I kinda like your alg, I might have to fiddle with that and see if I can make it faster than my alg.

The only bad part is the M at the start.

 

[Shortey]

Full Fridrich for the win!

I also know some COLL, but I wont be using VH.

Yes it is rare but it is 1 of the easy algorithms just like the other corner-oriented OLLs. I hate M so I do:

r' R U R U R' U' r2 R2' U R U' r'

 

[cmhardw]

I hate M so I do:

[M] U R U R' U' [M2] U R U' r'

Reflect across FB plane?
M' U' R' U' R U M2 U' R' U r

Seems much nicer to me. What do you think?

Chris

 

[Tim Major]

r' R U R U R' U' r2 R2' U R U' r'

No offence, but in my opinion that is a terrible alg. The whole alg requires regrips, and r2 R2' really should be M2. Just my opinion.

Edit: Chris' alg pwns. I think I'll stay with mine though.

It's actually your alg, just reflected

I do have to say though, M' U' R' U' R U M2 is lightning quick. I think I may have found a new alg for this OLL!

I don't quite like M's in the middle of <RU>s it feels disruptive but then I suck at Ms.

Maybe you are doing it differently. Doesn't feel like it needs regripping for me. It is actually 1 of the smoother algorithms . I actually regrips much more with Ms but pretty sure I am doing it wrongly with Ms :fp.

A new alg that doesn't work?

 

[sz35]

ZBF2L+COLL+EPLL!!!

I love it too, although I'm used to doing a U at the beginning. I recommend it here.

It's the mirror of Vandenbergh's alg, and I've been wondering why it's not a more common alg for that case.

(It's one of my move-spamming algs. I use it test a cube - on a good cube, I should be able to let go of the cube during the final U, and do the r with the left ring finger.)

 

[JLarsen]

I voted Petrus (no winter variation) But I also use CLS in there.

 

[a small kitten]

Apparently ZZ isn't a method.
