https://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Ribbon_Method CFOP-CT is bad. I created the Ribbon Method a while ago as a way to end a CFOP solve with TTLL. I've also found a ton of algs and spent plenty of time making them perfect.

Yes, I've put a lot of work into optimizing them, they should be on the Ribbon page and be pretty well updated. There isn't really an intuitive way of doing it, it's much better to just treat them like learning more OLL algs.

Howdy @Quinson, I'm the creator of Ribbon. I still believe TOLS + TTLL is the best approach for LSLL. For a three look approach, I think the best thing to do is ELS, TOLS with edges oriented, and TTLL. Also, unfortunately, inserting edge + full orientation is approximately 1300 algs, which...

Yes, developed it earlier this year. It's the Ribbon Method. Check it out on the wiki. I've developed every single alg myself over the last few months. In short, solve an addition edge during cross in the E Slice, finish the three pairs, orient the last 9 pieces with TOLS, then permute those 9...

I have an 8.69 Ribbon single and a 10.11 best avg 5.

@Rubik's cubed He posted in the ZZ Cubers Facebook group about it.

@Neuro He stopped using ZZ-CT because he wasn't happy with his results with the method. He's just using normal ZZ for now.

Perhaps a better option than that, @Neuro, as much as I love my Ribbon algs, would be to do EO+DFDB, leaving you with only CLS into PLL. I believe it has comparable movecount, but with only half of the algorithms. However, as I have not experimented much with Roux and LLOB, I can't confirm how...

@Aerma I've developed the Ribbon method as a means of ending a solve with TTLL for CFOP users. It has about 47-50 moves on average, does not hinder color neutrality in any way, and can be applied just as well to big cubes as normal CFOP. I have the general outline of the method in the first...

Just as good for OH as CFOP is for OH as they share ergonomics. Save a few moves over standard CFOP as well so it is technically better. I've enjoyed using it in big cubes and my 5x5 PB now ends with a Ribbon 3x3 stage. It's very easy if you do Yau or Hoya in which you solve the cross to also...

@ShyGuy1265 You can solve the Ribbon Slot at any point in the F2L. The later you do it, the less efficient it becomes, but you could technically just wait until the last slot and throw the edge in. I usually solve it either first or second if I see a full pair. I've got my average within a...
