Anyone else use CFCE for 3x3?

[Twisted101]

I have been using the CFCE method for a little over a month now and I average 15-16 seconds with it. I am wondering if anyone else use the method? If you don’t know what CFCE is: Cross, First 2 layers, corners of last layer, edges of the last layer

might try some solves with it. Is there a main link with algorithms you used?

I am a Roux solver but I sometimes use CFCE for fun. It helps me because I like using K4 for 4x4 and bigger cubes and I am also learning 3-style edges at the moment.

I used CFCE for a bit but then I quit because I was an indecisive child

I use CFCE or CFOP when I see a cross and the FB isn't good. I also use CFCE on 5x5 if the centers are better for yellow/white instead of green/blue or red/orange (Not on 4x4 because I can't recognize when there is PLL parity).

this includes the normal algs and some additional CFCE algs

so its like a CFOP and Roux mix?

Not really, CFCE is just CFOP, then do corners, and then edges. A CFOP/Roux mix would be more like First 2 blocks, solve DF and DB, and then do last layer, with CE I guess.

CFCE was made long before roux

No, the only shared step would be corners, orient and permute them in one alg, you can use either COLL or CMLL (as long as they don't affect DF and DB edges). While the last edges in both methods can be solved intuitively, they follow different approaches, CFCE can be solved using 3-cycles and Roux (M, U) gen orientation and permutation.

I use CFCE but I don't main it, and not remembering full ELL prevents it from getting equal results to my CFOP solves in most cases.

Or just do CLL (solves corners, but only preserves f2l and not edge orientation)
