What is the VLS method in skewb?

Im tryna make a method where you insert the last white corner, and the rest of the corners are solved, kinda like VLS

WEEK 0
Yes I know this doesnt count, but I am really excited.
Since there is no whole number thats solves the equation "9Cx=24", I guess I can choose how many puzzles I want per week.
Since the first 2 weeks will be my summer holidays, I will use it wisely.
And yeah, I've broken a bunch of PBs already, but I could break more.
This week I will do learning, so why not 3x3, 2x2, 4x4, 5x5, and Pyra. I'll focus on the rest tommorow.
So yeah, see the results next week.

Very busy this week, couldnt do alot.
I am planning to make an entire 3x3 Orcora Petrus Excel sheet, containing all algs. So I will share it in this thred whenever done.
I broke PBs in 2x2, pyra, and skewb, which is good.
Week 2 will be 3x3, 5x5, Mega, Pyra, and Skewb.
See you with updates : ).

I made a python code for coverting WV/SV->LWV/LSV

def convert_move(move):
    conversion = {
        "R": "R'",
        "R'": "R",
        "R2": "R2",

        "L": "L'",
        "L'": "L",
        "L2": "L2",

        "U": "U'",
        "U'": "U",
        "U2": "U2",

        "D": "D'",
        "D'": "D",
        "D2": "D2",

        "F": "B'",
        "F'": "B",
        "F2": "B2",

        "B": "F'",
        "B'": "F",
        "B2": "F2"
    }

    return conversion.get(move, move)


user_input = input("Enter moves separated by spaces: ")

moves = user_input.split()

converted_moves = [convert_move(move) for move in moves]

print("Converted moves:")
print(" ".join(converted_moves))

I would say being ambidextrous is superior, but I am not quite there yet and cannot prove it. But it does feel more efficient for what I am for now!

[pi=3.14]

My left is as good as my right, but I'm not ambidextrous

 

[Jared Burkhart]

Is it perfectly mirroring your righty? Just saying they can be equal, (ig what I am really) but being ambidextrous helps in life a lot more also!
