Isn't this 2OP from M-CELL?alrighty another roux-block type start method:
1) Roux block + centers and DB
2) 2x2x1 in BR
3) TSLE
4) 1 of 6 TTLLs (TTCLL)
5) EODF and cancel into EPLL
I know TTLL isn't the greatest but hey, only the corner cases and you don't have to worry about LL edges at all.
I'm trying to come up with a simple beginners method that transitions into Roux rather than CFOP, right now this is what I have:
1: Solve 2 corners (DL)- Very easy for beginners to understand, completely intuitive
2: Solve FB- Use slice moves for intuitive insertion of edges
3: Solve D layer corners- Easy, intuitive
4: Solve SB- Use slice moves for easy inserts, *This and LSE are the hardest to teach*
5: CO- Teach Sune
6: CP- Teach an easy CP alg (like A/J/T perm)
7: LSE- Introduce them to EO and how to preserve it, no algs but familiarize with Arrow case *Maybe the hardest part of the method*
Here's a solve, obviously not very efficient but it should give a good idea as to what I'm going for
SCRAMBLE: U D B' R B2 U' B2 R' L' F B2 D2 R' U2 D2 L D2 R' U2 L' B2
D2 x' z' U2 F2//FB Corners (3/3)
u' R' u r' D M2 D'//FB Edges (7/10)
R' U R U' R' U R//SB Corners (7/17)
R2 U' M U r U' M U R2 U M2 U2 M2 U r'//SB edges (15/32)
U' R U R' U R U2 R'//CO (8/40)
x R' U R' D2 R U' R' D2 R2 x'//CP (9/49)
M U M U' M' U M' U2 M' U2 M' U' M U2 M U2//LSE (16/65)
A possible improvement might be to solve a 1x2x3 line and then solve the other 2 edges rather than just corners.
I feel like it might be better to do edges then corners for the FB like you would in normal beginners because I'm not sure etching weird slice moves to a beginner would go down that well.
Similar thing goes for the SB as well; solve DR and then insert corners, then solve the edges using the other stuff.
For LSE, it's not actually too bad to teach; I learned it purely frok being shown MUM' and worked everything else out from there.
