Ortega Method (3x3x3)

[RCTACameron]

Roux and Waterman are pretty damn fast methods.

Oh yeah, I guess. Although I don't know much about these methods, I don't think they are purely CF. I'm just saying that pure corners first wouldn't be as fast as Fridrich or other popular speedsolving methods.

@TMOY: I agree, it's hard to tell how fast a method that nobody uses is. You could probably figure out some test to tell, though, like getting someone who doesn't know any of them to learn them all and practise them the same amount, and see which one got the best times. That would still be a bit inacurate, though. :confused:

ortega?? on 3x3 and not 2x2, i've never heard of it but it sounds like a shorter version of Yusuke's stupid method

How many algorithms do you know/use for 3x3x3?

well, i know 40+ OLL and 21 PLL algorithms, but my main method for 2hands isn't CFOP anymore.
specifically for sandwich in 3x3, I know 42 CLL algorithms, 14 1-look-midges algorithms, a few ELLs, conjulated or not, for edge control..and other stuff. I would say I use 65ish algs approximately? heh. but on the other hand i think if i really put my mind to it i can sub 16 with more optimizations.
I was thinking of orienting midges whilst slotting in the last redge but after this 17.30 average i think 1 look midges is darn useful and important D:

here are the midges algs that I use anyway:
E2 M' E2 M
M' U2 M U2 or M U2 M' U2
M2 U2 M2 U2

U' M U M U2 M' U M' U M' U2 M U2

I don't even know all those algorithms yet. I was averaging 15 seconds (14.96), but now you're beating me. But yeah... I don't have great fingertricks, so I think it's pretty obvious that Corners-first can be pretty fast.
