I recently learned 3-style as my first blind method. I did it completely intuitively, without memorizing any algorithms. This is an explanation of what I did, and a collection of the resources that I used. I hope that it will be helpful to others who want to learn 3-style intuitively for fun...
Been practicing a lot these "safe but still sub-1" solves lately! That's the kind of solve I'll be trying to do in the first round at World's :)

A couple of points to clear up before reading these. By freestyle I don't specifically mean '3-style' or speed-optimal 3-cycles (which this does indeed use) but I mean using a range of techniques including solving from fixed and floating buffers in the same solve, using a 'pseudo fixed buffer'...
Sloxecution = no NAR but still good solve.

I'll eventually have all my corner cycles and edge cycles here. I'm mostly doing this for myself so that I can force myself to find my bad cycles, but I think it might be useful for other people to see as well. Feel free to tell me better or just different algs for certain cycles. I'm sorry that...
I know I have a thread for my tutorials, but this one is so special that I think it deserves it's own thread!
The tutorial is complete! Post below if you have any questions, complaints or praise!
