Your 3x3x3 Speedsolving Method History

[garcijo]

1. Matías Macaya beginner's method
2. Keyhole + 4LLL
3. F2L + 4LLL

 

[5BLD]

LBL
CFOP
Roux
CFOP
Roux
Petrus/Waterman
'waterman'
Roux

 

[Cubenovice]

LBL as in Jasmine lee's tutorial EO, CP, CO, EP
LBL some keyhole with same LL as above
CFOP intuitive F2L, 2LOLL, 2LPLL
CFOP intuitive + some alg F2L, 2LOLL, PLL, some edge control

To get some better cube understanding in general I also learned CF, ZZ and Petrus

Still CFOP for "speed" but added for better cube understanding
Heise
HTA
Roux (sans CMLL though...)
BLD
Commutators
Full intuitive

 

[Reinier Schippers]

1. LBL +3look oll 2 look pll

2.Fridrich + 2 look oll + 2 look pll

3. fridrich + almost all OLL and all pll's

4. Fridrich + OLL + PLL + ELL

 

[chrissyD]

Dan Brown
cfop

 

[Moops]

1. Pull apart the cube and put the pieces back together
2. Dan Browns beginner method
3. Beginner method w/F2L and 4 look last layer
4. Beginner method w/ 3 look last layer ---> Full PLL
5. Transition to ZZ w/ EOCross, F2L, OCLL, PLL
6. EOLine, ZZF2L, OCLL, PLL

 

[samkli]

LBL - Cross, first layer corners, second layer edges, EO, CP, CO (only using sune), EP (only using U-perms)
Intuitive F2L
CFOP - 2 look OLL, 2 look PLL
CFOP - 2 look OLL, 1 look PLL

 

[blakedacuber]

Dan brown
Cfop with eo and spam sunes untill i had oll finishses along with 2lpll
Cfop 4lll
Cfop 2loll and 1lpll
Roux for a few weeks
Cfop with half of oll and full pll
Roux again for 2 months
Cfop with 40ish oll's and full pll i hope to have full oll finishd in the next week or so

 

[Petezorzz]

RobH0629 // LBL
CFOP // 2LOLL º 2LPLL

Random methods just for fun

CFOP // 2LOLL º PLL

Looking foward to learning full OLL and some other stuff too

 

[aaronb]

1) Layer by Layer (RobH's method) Beginning of cubing - 2 weeks
2) F2L + 12LLL (Often less than 12 Looks ) 2 weeks - 6 weeks
3) F2L + 4LLL 6 weeks - 6 months
4) F2L + 3LLL (Full PLL) 6 months - 8 months
5) F2L + 3LLL (Learning OLL) 8 months - now

I am at about 8 1/2 months in.

 

[adragast]

Am I the only one to have noticed that Waffle is mentioning a secret method ? Or maybe the only one curious about it ?

 

[chris410]

1. LBL (Dan Brown) - used for 3 months.
2. F2L + 2 Look OLL/PLL - used for 1 year (best official time 34.97)
3. F2L + 2 Look OLL + Full PLL - currently using (have not used yet in competition - best non-official is 18.22 and low 30's for an average)

Currently working on simply eliminating the pauses between movements so, I am taking a slower approach in order to become more efficient.

 

[jonlin]

some sort of beginner method
f2l
2loll and pll
Full PLL
Half OLLs

 

[PandaCuber]

1: Dan Brown.
2: LBL with 2OLL and 4PLL
3: F2L + 2OLL w/ 1PLL. Till sub 30.
4: Roux + 2CMLL
5: Roux w/ CMLL.

 

[thackernerd]

1. Dan Brown
2. intuitive f2l+ Dan Brown LL

 

[blackzabbathfan]

1. pogobat lbl
2. CFOP with 4LLL
2.5 Learned Petrus but never used it
3. CFOP full PLL

 

[Thompson]

1) The Dan Brown method with colour neutrality
2) Thought key hole was worth it and tried it. FAIL
3) Chris Foster's intuitive F2L with the DAN BROWN METHOD last layer.
3) Learned 2L OLL and full PLL
4) Learned Full PLL
5) Thought waterman was worth looking in to. FAIL

6) A couple years later and I currently use colour neutral cross on left and algorithmic F2L on D. Full OLL and PLL

 

[iEnjoyCubing]

-Pogobat LBL
-Intuitive F2L // 4LLL
-Intuitive F2L // 3LLL (Learned 2 Look OLL/Full PLL at the same time)
-Intuitive F2L with some algs for some cases // 3LLL

 

[Yuxuibbs]

Beginner's method that came with the cube
Added shortcuts from memyselfandpi
Intuitive F2L with beginner's last layer
Intuitive F2L with 4LLL
Intuitive F2L with 2 look OLL and almost full PLL

 

[immortalchaos29]

LBL - from a sheet of paper with letters and no explanation. Kinda took a while to decipher lol
Petrus
CFOP - with Petrus LL
CFOP - 3LLL
Free-FOP
