uhh chat
I may have already made a similar method to both of yours😭💀
Step 1: solve 1x2x3 block on the left
Step 2: make 2x2 block in the back right (D layer)
Step 3: form final F2L pair
Step 4: orient edges and permutecorners while solving F2L pair
Step 5: solve cube with M and U moves

we have to double check on the wiki if the method were making already exists (trust me, it hurts when you spend so much time developing a method only to find out it already exists)
 
I could be wrong but isn’t it the last 5 edges and it’s 960 algorithms? Cuz:

5 edges and the combinations of where they could be: 5! (120) but accounting for edge permutation parity we have to divide by 2, which is 60 permutation combinations.

Edges can either be oriented or misoriented 2, and there’s 5 edges so it’s 2^5 (32) but accounting for edge orientation parity we have to divide by 2, which is 16 orientation combinations.

60*16=960
Ahh I see...yeah 5 edges. It was just a theoritical method that I cooked up while eating dinner(serriously) but I don't believe that many combos are there...

my bad srryyy you guys can count me out. Am not that clever...but at least I tried. It was fun, and I will try whatever you guys cook up. Good luck!

Nvm I’m stupid I forgot we did OLL. I think it’s 120 algs

Thanks for helping tho
 
… I’m getting 5,951 algs for second pair and eo. I think we might need to change something. Maybe we make the pair and insert it while doing eo?
Yeah, i knew this would happen, which is why I am creating something called "Siding Block Technique". The method is to keep the white edge, the f2l edge, and the f2l corner on the non-yellow side. This takes only 2-3 moves and with EO+SBT, we get only 48 algs

Wait I don’t get what you mean by keeping those pieces on the non-yellow side.

Take this image for example, the pieces (green-orange-white corner, green-orange edge, and green-white) are all on the green side (which is non-yellow)
