Already Existing Concept/Method Thread

[guitardude7241]

Upon thinking how often already thought-of concepts would be brought up in the other topic(New Concept/Method Thread), I thought posting already existing concepts/methods here would be a good idea.

Ex. ZOMG I JUST INVINTID A NEW MEATHOD!!!1!!1

Sorry, that idea has been around for months.

So that ^^ wouldn't happen. Could everyone help out and post those already existing concepts/methods? I'll edit them into this post, and hopefully, in time, there'll be a big long list right here for anybody who wants to possibly switch to a new method, or just see what has been thought of. Also, if anybody helping out could provide links to a tutorial to that concept/method, whether it be video or text, please post the link like this.

I'll also edit those to this post. Thanks everyone!

Finishing Roux / Petrus without bad edges and full OLL PLL has been thought of before. Sorry to let you down, no go learn bad edges you pansy.

WHY DOES BAD EDGES SCARE THE HELL OUT OF PEOPLE? they're so easy learn.

Took me about 8 minutes to understand what to do, about 20 minutes to memorize the sequences. It was real easy stuff when you just sit down, and learn it.

 

[anythingtwisty]

Even I can do bad edges!

If you were talking to me, I'm doing this in parts. Not all at once, I couldn't take that. Also, I do know how to do bad edges. They're easy.

Yes, I AM aware there is a database of all this in the wiki. Alot of those links are outdated. Some links aren't even there. Might as well put them here.

You mean put them in the wiki, right? That's what the wiki is for.

Sorry about that. Then if that's what the wiki's for, then how come there's the comparison of most all of the 3x3's in the hardware section? It's stickied, by pentrixter.

This was directed towards beginner's who may click on this thread in the future to see if someone has made a petrus/roux /fridrich hybrid before. It is so damn common these days.

@Waffle

Roux edges are hard for me to understand actually. I've tried to fully understand them before but they're not quite as intuitive as Petrus edges.

 

[miniGOINGS]

Roux edges are hard for me to understand actually. I've tried to fully understand them before but they're not quite as intuitive as Petrus edges.

Each edge has either a U or a D sticker on it. If the D or U center is on U, you want all of the edges to have there U or D sticker facing U or D.

Example: if your using white on U and yellow on D, you want all of the stickers on U and D to be yellow and white.

Here is an example of unoriented edges. This is after orientation.

Fixed Thom's CMLL page, put it under CMLL

But left roux's? I still don't understand the point of this thread.

 

[blade740]

This thread isn't going to do ANY good, because you're listing methods by their names. Nobody's going to think "hey, I should just use a method called MGLS"

 

[guitardude7241]

I'm not close to being finished yet, I wasn't planning on listing them by their names once I'm done either. I'd estimate I'll be done in a few days, no more than a week.

Roux edges are hard for me to understand actually. I've tried to fully understand them before but they're not quite as intuitive as Petrus edges.

Keep the center on top be either the U or D center. any edge on around that center that is NOT that color or the opposite color is bad. same goes with the center on D.

Adjust the U or rotate the cube to fit these cases

if the bad edges are:
1) UL/UR/DF/DB
2)UL/UR/UF/UB
then do M'U2M'
this is will go into another case


if the bad edges are:
1)UL/UB/DF/DB
then do M2
this is will go into another case

if the bad edges are:
1)UF/DB
2)UF/UB
3)DF/DB
4)UL/UR/UF/DF***
5)all six are wrong
then do M'UM'
keep looking for the case after you do the moves. until you reach the one with the ***. after doing the move all edges will be oriented

it's repetitive and easy to do

 

[Michiel van der Blonk]

I've got my LBL method on http://vanderblonk.com/tutorial. Soon to add another method with more block building and 5 corners last.

Why is ZZ listed as a Fridrich variant?

 

[Johannes91]

Why is ZZ listed as a Fridrich variant?

Probably because some noobs think you're supposed to solve cross after EOLine. As stupid as it is, if you do that, it is basically a Fridrich variant.
