D2 method

[Alejandro]

Hi, These are algorithms of D2 method for corners, is the same as R2 but from a different angle, I hope you like, greetings.

I never looked for a site to explain what R2 was about, but this is really interesting. Thank you. I still like the idea of TuRBo corners more though, since it has a better movecount and lead me toward using 3-cycles.

Do you use this for your fast times, or is this just something you're experimenting with? I'm surprised that someone at your speed would be experimenting with (or regularly using) a method like R2.

I use commutators for everything, I do not use D2 for blindfold, but this method I use to explain to friends who just want to go into this, I think is an easy method to learn and also fast.

Why D2?

Why not U2 ???
U2 seems more logical to me, or a more logical approach.

I use something like U2 myself, and my buffer can stay the same as in OP-corners. It is leading me towards commutators as well, I just need to practice

 

[Alejandro]

On U2 you use moves like DR and on D2 you use moves like RU, I think D2 is more comfortable.

D2 with left-pinky-ring is fast as hell.

Thanks - I thought it might be something like that, but I wanted to make sure - in case a new revolution in blindfold solving had quietly happened while no one was looking.
