Yo
@Caleb Valenzuela, thanks for your (honest) response on my method
.
1. 1x2x2 block
It’s alright I guess, the rotation after is a bit meh but I think it’s ok. Might as well just do 1x2x3 into DFDB imo but it makes up for it with EO+DL edge. So basically, this is only reasonable because of the second step
Yeah you are right, but that is just the worst step overall IMO. Credits to
@Michael Wimberly for the idea BTW, but maybe if you practice inspection alot (F2L-2), you'll get a hang of it.
2. EO + DL edge
Can’t say too much about this step because, well, idk how many algs there are, plus I don’t know if they’re even that ergonomic (probably a lot of S moves). But assuming the algs are good (and not like 200 algs), I think this is the “best” step of the method because it does more in one step than every other step in this method.
Its very easy and has very few moves. Technically, there's 127 cases, and we can set them up into a position where we can do an alg (there's 20 algs atmost). And the LD edge can be inserted in atleast 3-4 moves, so IG theres no reason to put it as a whole step
3. BR 1x2x2 Block (I’ll call it BR122B which sounds like a color code lol)
It’s pretty self-explanatory, same thing happens when you do APB without the BR Pair. It’s literally just solving DR edge+BR pair.
Yeah you are right, theres nothing to explain about it.
4. LL
idk why you said “ZBLS->ZBLL” because since EO is already solved, ZBLS isn’t needed lol. You can just do FR pair + ZBLL, which imo is better than VLS->PLL
Yeah IK I said ZBLS, but its only ZBLS if it uses R & U moves
Also, I have been working on some advanced versions:
1. LD EO F2L Insert (LEFI)
The idea is simple. In the first step, you insert the last pair and edge orient the LD edge in one alg.
With 4 cases, I guess there will be 8 algs. And it reduces EO into 63 cases and removes 8EO.
2. Edge Slice Insert (ESI)
This one is like L6E in Roux, but with S & R moves, less edges to deal with, and less cases.
This works if the LD and RD edges are in the S-Slice. ESI permutes those edges with R, U & S moves. There is only 11 algs
3. Numann Block (Skip if you prefer ZB)
A numann block is a 123+OLL block when you have 223+EO.
Before it was "RD->BR Pair->Make Pair->WV->PLL".
Now it's "FR Pair->Make into F2L 1/4->WV/SV->PLL" (or) "BR Pair->Make into F2L 2/3->LWV/LSV->PLL"
All algs for WV+SV+LWV+LSV is 108.
