F2L: 2-gen, 3-gen, or 6-gen?

[2180161]

Hi. Sorry if there is already a thread like this.
Anyway, I was wondering if you guys generally use R, U, and L moves as your main turns for solving F2L? Of course some will use B and F, but what about double layers turns and slice moves? I am asking this for CFOP if you use ZZ then of course you will use L, U, and R moves to solve F2L after EO, but still any help is appreciated!

I use R, U, and L moves. I sometimes use the F face and occasionally the D face for keyhole stuff. I never use slice moves, double layer moves, or B moves during F2L. I might experiment a bit with slice moves or double layer moves when I'm doing slow untimed solves.

R U and L. I use F occasional, but mostly on for sledgehammers. I don't ever use double layer or slice moves.

This. I use FreeFOP though, so I'm building a lot of blocks.

I think it's time for me to learn some non-intuitive double-layer-turn F2L...

I use R/U/L/D/F/y in my CFOP F2L (and Uw, but that's D + y), and R/U/L/D/F in my ZZ solves (F for some LS things and F2 R' F2 R).

I use all 6 faces actually. Like sledge hammer from the back uses B moves, I use D moves sometimes too.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

I think he's saying that using only R,U and L moves in F2L doesn't make it 3 gen if you use cube rotations.

But that still doesn't make it 6-gen...
