Which method do you all use?
CFOP full PLL? 4-look PLL?
Honestly, no idea what those letters are you just said to me, I followed this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Ron6MN45LY
What method is that?
Edit: vid description says LBL
Speedsolving Wiki has good info on terminology.
CFOP is a method (more optimized version of LBL(Layer by Layer))
PLL is an algorithm set used to Permute the Last Layer (which can be split into 2 steps or looks). I'm not familiar with CFOP so I don't know if 4 look PLL is a thing.
I use the Roux method and I highly recommend trying out other methods! It's harder to learn them once you're set in your ways :P
@miria
Yes. CFOP PLL can be done in 4 steps when you're a beginner (call 4-look) with few algos. Then you can learn more algos and do it in 3 steps.
Finally, you can learn all algos and do it in 2 steps also called 'full PLL'.
@pineapplelover
Again, I might be wrong, but:
Full PLL is 1 look PLL. Using 1 algorithm to solve PLL.
Full OLL is also 1 look and uses only 1 alg.
Are you sure you meant 4 look PLL and not 4 look LL (Last Layer)? That would use 2 look PLL and 2 look OLL.
@miria
Exactly! Sorry.
End-of-day fatigue… 🙄
Thanks for correcting me :)
Roux, using CMLL (some CMLL2 and CMLLEO)
What about yourself?
@miria
Yeah, you're a part of rouxvolution!
I use CFOP 4-look PLL. My best Ao12 is 42s.
