Since it became popular, CFOP has always been the Old Faithful of speedcubing – Simple to learn and, although harder to get good at, very rewarding to those who put in the time. In fact, some beginner methods use some, if not all, of CFOP’s steps in a slightly easier to understand way.
The main method that people advance to off of beginner methods is CFOP. There’s only so far that the original method can carry a solver in terms of speed, so many more have been created that, whilst increasing the number of algorithms required to learn, have unlocked potential that has before been thought impossible, such as below 10 second solves. Puzzlers may choose to either practice the speed aspect of the cube whilst others may choose to discover different modifications and different puzzles. For some, solving the Rubik’s Cube, although a massive achievement, isn’t enough.
There have been many methods created to maximise speed and set records. Learn the Beginner's Method » Efficiency / Speed I’m going to talk about some of the methods people have created to address one of two different aspects – Efficiency and ease-of-learning. Whether you’ve just learnt how to solve the cube or you’re a veteran, there are many different methods that are available, each with their own unique opportunities to improve in speed (if that’s what you want to do).
