What is FreeFOP? I know this has been asked but I'd like a detailed explanation

I have heard recently that there is a method called FreeFOP? What is it? (Apologies if it is in the wrong thread) I could not find anything about it. A detailed explanation would be helpful.

Blockbuilding F2L -> OLL -> PLL. Similar to Petrus, but instead of EO+F2L, you solve the last cross edge, then finish F2L like CFOP.

And it's so called because the steps are "free to do whatever you want for f2l" until "oll" then "pll"

My Aolong V1 recently broke, what would you think is the best cube like it other than the V2.

i dont know if this is where this should go but:
I really love the Roux method, but cant get fast with it. I am fast with CFOP, but find it boring. So my question is should I be fast with CFOP, or should I use the method I like. I am about 40 seconds with roux, and sub-20 with CFOP.

Im getting a new speedcube. I currently have a fangshi 54.6 illusion as my main. I have a light turning style, but a little bit inaccurate, but it dosnt cause lockups. Should I get the Mini weilong, or the Dayan Zhanchi?

 

[2180161]

How fast are you averaging? sub-20? Sub-30? Sub-40? Give a time range.
If averaging about 20 sec, get a 54.5 weilong. if about 30 seconds, get a Zhanchi. Personally, I like Dayan more, but its your personal preference.

Not sure if it's the correct place,
But can anyone name a fast cuber who starts with (only!)
White cross? I guess this isn't difficult
Yellow cross?
Red Cross?
Orange cross?
Blue cross?
Green cross?

Technically anyone fast who's color neutral

Crossed corners PLL algorithm help?

Hi all,

I've been looking but I can't find an algorithm for an orientation I just encountered. It's not one of the 21.
After doing my OLL, I have all four corners that are all diagonally swapped. Which means I need to swap blue-orange with red-green and green-orange with red-blue.

I could easily solve this by a few methods, but I would like to see a single algorithm solution.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks

Try doing a U2.

Sounds like an E perm. Have the front left corner color facing you match the left edge piece (there should be two sides you can do that) and do

R B' R' F R B R' F' R B R' F R B' R' F'

Or an H perm...

White: Kennan?
Yellow:
Red:
Orange: Antoine Cantin
Blue: Mats Valk
Green: Theodore Chow. not exactly as fast as the others, but the only green cross solver I know.

That was pretty bad.. I'm not even completely sure about 3 of the ones I actually answered..

 

[TDM]

Blue: Mats Valk

Isn't he blue/green neutral?

 

[Berd]

Isn't he blue/green neutral?

I think so.

 

[penguinz7]

I think so.

I wasn't sure about that, I looked at an average on his channel, and the first three solves were all blue cross. I guess I should've watched more then three..
