The Scrambled Method Challenge!

[Sion]

This is a challenge where the previous poster gives out a scramble and a method. The next poster must solve that particular scramble with the method that was mentioned by the previous poster.

I'll start. Use 8355 to solve B D L2 R2 U' L2 U' F2 L2 D B2 L2 R F L D' R' B' R B2.

That isn't freefop. Freefop is CFOP where you build F2L however you want.

 

[GenTheSnail]

That isn't freefop. Freefop is CFOP where you build F2L however you want.

I thought it was when you build part of a cross so then you have the M slice to build pairs, like a stupid roux/cfop hybrid.

No that's Hawaiian Kociemba

 

[Rcuber123]

No that's Hawaiian Kociemba

No. Hawaiian Kociemba is 1ll3sll(not really)

 

[GenTheSnail]

No that's Hawaiian Kociemba

Pretty sure Hawaiian Kociemba has EO in it also.
Anyway, I did my first layer anyway I wanted, and that was with a stupid cfop/roux hybrid which i thought was FreeFOP
I was going off this video, as the wiki didn't have anything on it.

 

[sqAree]

You used ZBLL for LL though, and while F2L is completely free in FreeFOP I believe you should use OLL/PLL.
The video is clueless.

I'm not too sure what 3-style entails, but it looks similar to M2. If I got that wrong, let me know.

I went with the first method you proposed for two reasons: First, I saw it, but didn't do it because I didn't have the time that day, not because I wasn't going to. Second, Thistlethwaite, by my understanding, is a computer solution, one that a human wouldn't be able to figure out on their own. That's the point of Human-Thistlethwaite.

On that note, I'd love to see someone use Human-Thistlethwaite.
If nobody wants to try that, I'd take Belt as well.

Uhhh, yeah...
3-style is an advanced BLD edges method, it's also called BH.
You use commutators to solve them, not an M2.
Didn't you look it up?
I don't know much about it, but M2 is definitely not the same as 3-style/BH.
