This is unfortunately not new. It is also not good. It is also not going to be high TPS just because it's algorithmic. The algs needed are not very good.

Like the other guy said this isn’t new. There’s plenty of videos that discuss this as “preference of slicing the top or bottom” or similar wording.

That is exactly what Zipper-C is basically

It seems to produce similar-ish results as the melty series puzzles by Oskar, which are cut at angles less than 90 degrees.

I mean this is kinda just another intermediate version of Tripod. I worked on something similar a long while back where you simply build a LL 2x1 bar into the last F2L slot, do an alg to solve the last pair and form the LL 2x2 using that pair, then the Tripod LL case. And let’s keep...

Nobody really understood what they meant lol. They are doing CPDB to get left with L5E/Parity L5E (which are terrible alg wise). 6 CPDB cases. 4 EPLL, 5 pEPLL, 12 L5E, 12 pL5E. 39 algs total.

For FB, you can do D2 L U2 F’ D to create the same block more efficiently

That doesn’t really matter. FTO is fine at this point. Nobody was complaining that clock was called clock, and nobody calls the NxNs their actual names either like Rubik’s Revenge or the Professor Cube.

It’s okay-ish. I was working on CO solved LL for a while. I learned antipll and the diag cases. Overall 10000% worse than just doing ZB (I know about half of ZBLL and some ZBLS). Drastically blows up alg count for LS and the 1LLL cases seem to be worse than ZBLLs alg wise ( but they are also not...

That’s just another restricted Petrus method variant

Yes this has existed for a very very long time! You can find old algs on the speedsolving wiki.

That massively overcomplicates things. You really only need a list of speed optimal ZBLS algs, then document the 6/27 CO cases that lead to H/Pi and have an alternate ZBLS alg. It's not really worth further complicating your LS just to avoid HP imo, particularly when ZBLS is still developing...

So as someone who learned the Tripod method and then improved it with TLS, this caught my eye, so I messed with it for a few minutes. After looking at what you're doing and the end state reaching, I have some unfortunate news to break: After you get to the point of having solved the 2x3 block...

Yes this is out of date. There’s someone faster in the non-wca solvers discord.
