Wojciech Knott got a 6.56 clock average with a counting 5.39 and 7.72... ><

I think it would take a decent amount of practise - the possibility of an F2L edge being in the D layer would hinder lookahead quite a bit, I think...

that's not what he means. i think what he is saying is place two opposite cross edges and put any bottom or top edge in any orientation into the remaining cross slots. then solve 4 f2l pairs.

Ok, that's a good enough reason for me [emoji14]
I would find it hard to put the pairs in the right slot when I don't have centres there unless I don't rotate - unless you solve the centres too, in which case you're basically doing CFCE?

I'm not sure we're talking about the same method....

I wrote it up in more detail here, maybe it will make more sense.

I might not have clear enough in my description of the method, but I ensure that there are no F2L edges in the D layer while making the cross.

oh, my bad!

7.94 could be easily faster, I started doing a J perm from the wrong angle :p

Sweet. Nice how you got a counting sub-6.

Yes, but when you solve the not-cross edges at the start, do you care about how the M slice is oriented, or not? I was assuming not, but I think you're solving it too...

I solve the centres as well because as you said, not having them solved would make recognition harder. I haven't really tried it though. I suppose it would be faster.

I don't think solving the centres would make it CFCE, because you're not solving the DF and DB edges until the end. CFCE does not have a LSE step.

I know it doesn't make it CFCE, but it's very similar, and I think that if you're going to 'solve' the two edges in the D layer then it's not much different to just solve a cross and do CFCE; it's probably the same speed, if not a bit faster.

What do you call your new method? It seems like a hybrid of pretty much everything. Also, I think it needs a video :)

Not really a giant PB, but I like to look back at the progress I've made:

November 2014 - Goal was 50% sub-20 solves
- PB's: S - 13.01, 5 - ~16.5, 12 - ~17.5
March 2015 - Out of 113 past solves, 100 sub-20
- PB's: S - 10.08, 5 - 13.46, 12 - ~15.5

I've also improved a lot in 4,5,6 and 7, and learnt BLD :D

Now know 6 of the 72 ZBLL's in the T-Set. I am currently learning them at a pace of 1 per day. For anyone who knows all/most of the T-Set would you recommend learning them at a faster pace? This is also my first set in ZBLL so what set would you recommend learning next?
