Sortega!

[TK 421]

So, this is an alg for speeding up ORTEGA

wow, 2-layer orientation

nice job i'll start learning when my ortega is perfect

i'll start learning when my ortega is perfect

Don't wait so long, this one should get go faster than pure Ortega.

You make me cringe.

Very interesting method.

I tried combining BRASS and Sortega! by doing this:

Reduce to 2-gen
Orient the remaining six pieces
Permute the remaining six pieces

Some examples:

Scramble: R2 U' F' U2 R F2 R U2
Reduce to 2G: y
Orient: R' U' R U2 R'
Permute: U2 R2 U R2 U' R2 U2

Scramble: F2 R' U R2 U2 R' U2 R' F2 U'
Reduce to 2G: x' F
Orient: U R' U2 R' U2 R
Permute: U R2 U R2 U2

Scramble: U F U R U R2 U F2 U2
Reduce to 2G: y F' U' F' U' F
Orient: U2 R' U R U' R
Permute: U' R2 U' R2

Scramble: F R' U R F' R2 F U2 F2
Reduce to 2G: x2 y' F2 U' F' U' F
Orient: R U' R' U2 R'
Permute: U' R2 U R2 U' R2 U'

Just a thought on naming the method.

To my eye, this method is distinct enough from other methods to be named after its creators. Something like GGCF?

I actually looked a little into making this two-gen based on my solution to Roux's riddle, but didn't get very far. Maybe I should look at phasing again.

Nah. In the beginning, I joked about calling it "GG" in analogy to "SS," but then qq suggested "Sortega," which just fits. It's not like either of us *need* the validation from having our name in a new method, and besides, the real credit goes to qq (I just tried to drum up attention).

I don't see it so much as validation, in the sense of placating a fragile ego. Its more about accurately pointing out who the creators/developers of the method are.

and besides, the real credit goes to qq (I just tried to drum up attention).

That's why qq gets the first G in GG.

This seems like an ok method but I personally think full eg is better

Can we get an alg list going with solutions that aren't all 2-gen, such as using F moves or doing a rotation? Before I bother learning this I want to make sure that I'm learning the fastest solutions for each case, not just the <R,U> ones.

Yeah, this should be easy in ACube. Interesting to note: The two corners of the bar can switch.

Ah, cool, but I think unless the alg is considerably better, I'd rather use ones that preserve the bar permutation, since it would be easier to predict or at least narrow down the PBL case.

Learn Ortega first.
That should take you about 5 minutes.
Then go for this if you want, but it's an upcoming method, not very experimented yet.

5 min? I used days.

How much potential do you guys think Sortega has? Sub 4 is definitely possible, and it looks like faz got a 3.14 a12 with it.

Cool method bro

2.65, 3.16, 2.65, 2.36, 3.15, 4.91, 2.77, 3.83, 3.58, 1.34, 3.80, 3.40 = 3.14

Do you guys think sub-3 is possible?

 

[qqwref]

Sub 3 is definitely possible. I doubt Faz was fully used to the method when he did that average - there are plenty of optimal situations to learn, and to develop lookahead in.
