Talk:Complete Method List

Very nicely done. I think this is a vast improvement. A couple of things: I feel Roux should be listed under speedsolving/FMC and for speedsolving big cubes BLD, you could link to Chris Hardwick's tutorial in the forum.

Thanks :)

I've added Chris's Big Cube tutorial as requested. With regards to Roux as an FM method, although it gets used in FM (along with Fridrich and others), was it actually designed as an FM method? Petrus and even more so Heise were specifically designed for fewest moves, but I wasn't aware that Gilles actually intended his method to be anything more than just efficient from a speedsolving perspective. I may be wrong tho.. discuss below...

Well, when I see a method described under Speedsolving/FMC, I envision a method that is capable of being used in both situations successfully. Petrus and Heise are both great examples. I would also include Roux since Gilles Roux has had so much success in using it in competitions (maybe not as much lately). I speak of: Euro 2006, Belgium Open 2007, French Open 2008, Nantes Open 2008, his other example on his web page, and the solution he provided here (http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5876&page=2) (sorry don't know how to link to single posts). I don't feel the intention in the design of the method should have anything to do with classifying it as Speedsolving/FMC. Others could feel differently. For that matter, do you have a link to where Lars claims his method was designed for Speedsolving and FMC. From his webpage I found no such direct statement, though he does claim he uses it in FMC contests.

I still want to emphasize the excellent work you have done. I feel this makes the other methods pages obsolete, and we should concentrate on improving the content of each method and the number of external links. Format could be improved to be more appealing to the eye, but the content is excellent.
