One thing I also didn't talk about in the video:
Even if you can average very fast without lots of algs, something else in your solve has to work a LOT harder in order to keep up. In Collins case, F2L is his strong point and helps carry his solve. Something has to make up for the lack of algs the faster you get. There's really no reason to make that so difficult for yourself.
In this video, the reason I can get away with 14-15 second averages with LBL and 4LLL is because I can turn really fast and look ahead fairly well. So in this case, my turning and look ahead make up for the fact that I'm not using OLL and PLL or even F2L.

Today Im taking you through a handful of 2x2 first layer example solves. Lots of people solve this very inefficiently and I hope to give some examples on how to improve. Im certainly not the best at making layers, so make sure to check the comments to see if anyone corrected anything.

That guy who taught you cool tricks about reducing ZBLL is back this year to tell you all about the exciting new speedsolving method, ZZ-CT! One of the most viable ZZ variants in years, it sets up a LL skip 100% of the time!
But it gets even better! Same recognition as OLL/PLL! 33% 2-gen, 20% OLL skip, ridiculously short and fast cases, and 1/360 chance of LL Skip without setup!
How many algs are there? 108 for setup, and 72 to solve everything.
(But Ill teach you some tricks to get that number under 100!)
