Which method do you use

[mizzle]

There isn't a guide yet, because I'm still working on it, and I'm terribly lazy.

Basically, you set up edges to be oriented using F (F', B, B') turns and easy triggers like (F U F'). During this step, I also try to start my block or cross, or make some pairs.

Then, you do the F2L except the final pair with no rotations and only RULD turns, and the occasional F2 or B2. Multislotting is made much easier this way.

With the final pair, you influence corner orientation so that you achieve U, T, L, or a skip. All intuitive and very easy. Adds a couple of turns, but it's worth it.

You finish with COLL and an edge PLL, or, if you've learned enough of them, ZBLL (PLL and 216 other cases, but much better recognition, and 1/6 of them are no corner perm cases, so they're mostly Sune variants).

Why do so little people use other methods than Fridrich. Its not like that is the best method in the world right? I mean, other methods should be equally as good since you can also get sub-13 seconds with other methods(although i can't but i know other people can).

Fridrich, like the rest of the world. It's kind of a cheap shot because I use Petrus too, but only like 25% of the time. If I see a somewhat simple 2x2 block, I might switch methods entirely.

I have an okay, pretty smooth, but slow, Fridrich F2L.

I'm learning Fridrich OLL and PLL.

As of now, I am using an INTUITIVE Fridrich F2L, a Fridrich EOLL, a Fridrich COLL, a Fridrich EPLL, and a Fridrich CPLL.

I am learning/transitioning to a 2-step last layer. (AKA Full Fridrich)
