U2 for centers

[KConny]

Well, you don't say anything about reversing the moves that you do in Step 2. Or do you solve centers last and just don't care if it's +2?

 

[siva.shanmukh]

You missed it in. I did mention about that in my step 4

 

[KConny]

But how do you figure out if you're supposed to memo ubr or ufl in step 4?

 

[siva.shanmukh]

If you memorized ufl in the step 2, then you memorize a ubr in the step 4 and if you memorized ubr in step 2. then you memorize ufl in step4. Thats what I meant by saying compliment of the one that I memorized in step2

Step 4:
I actually manage to easily find that odd position or even position of the sequence by memorizing it in pairs. So if I my last one is not a pair, then I memorize it as an extra ubl and then an extra ubr/ufl(the compliment of the one that I memorized in the step 2)

 

[KConny]

Well that only works half of the time. What if you shoot to ufl (U') in step 2 the right reverse is not always ubl (U), it can also be ufl (U') depending on where in the cycle you did the shooting and the reversing.

Step 2:

If I come across the second white center in the sequence, then I memorize it as a ufl (move: U') if this is the odd position of the sequence or I memorize it as a ubr (move: U) if this is the even position of the sequence.
Now what ever was in ufl initially will come to buffer and I repeat Step1.

In my second step, I never shoot a U center to ufl. Once I am done with 2 U centers on my sequence, it means I am done with ubl and ufr(buffer) Now I do a ufl/ubr and continue memorizing from the ufl center and it goes till I am done with the next 2 centers of U.

If you are mentioning about the odd/even position of executing U/U', then that case is take care by chosing the right one. I clearly mentioned that I do only a U' move if I am already done with even memorization and do only a U move if I am done with odd memorization. It means that I always will start with ufl center to memorize from then on.

If I didn't answer you properly, gimme a situation and I shall explain it.
Or you give an example scramble where you think my method doesn't work, we shall see if I have missed something somewhere. But as of now I don't see any flaw/lucky chance in how I solved it.

Thank god I found this.
I'm still a bit confused on the U2...can someone post an example solve?

This, to me, equates to "I like this method, but don't understand it at all." Do you know how to do M2 for 3x3x3 edges?

No, I do not. Do I need to learn it to understand this?

So do I need to learn M2?

You do not have to, but it would have helped.

But if you're going to do the easiest method for the edges of any >3 cube, it's m2. Learn it anyway, cause it's very good!
