Oh, I didn't realize that orienting could affect the arrangement of 2 bad edges. Good to know. But beyond the bad edge pattern, the specific edges matter for EOLR. If you have an arrow pre-commutator, you know you'll have an arrow post-commutator. But you won't know how to solve it until you...

The dude is back! Let's hear it for the dude! The volatility makes sense because while the reduced move count is stable (without 2-corner twist cases), the recognition delay varies greatly. I might get lucky and immediately see how the corners are permuted. But I also might freeze up during...

I wanted to follow up after using 2-look perm-first CMLL for a few months. It's been both better and worse than I expected. Better in that it really is more fun than orient-first. CMLL was always my least favorite Roux step, feeling very mechanical and out of place compared to the other steps...

You're setting the bar for "hard" a lot higher than I do. I've been casually working on the 1-look H cases for like a year, and I'm still not sure if I have the column and row cases down. In R' F2 D R2 U R2 D' F2 R, I might switch the D/D', or the F2/D. In r U' r2' D' r U' r' D r2 U r', I might...

Yes, the permutation recognition is definitely a downside compared to orient-first. I haven't really figured it out yet, but I've been getting more comfortable. I see your smiley, but just to be clear for everyone, 2-look takes a tiny fraction of the memorization effort needed for 1-look. It's...

@dudefaceguy, this is fantastic! I assumed that I since I never heard of permute-first, orient-first must be the clear winner. But this way is absolutely better, IMO. I propose calling it the Roux-Dude method. People act like 1-look CMLL is so easy to learn. Well, maybe, if you're doing 200...

Starting with the Nourse method many years ago, I later switched to the (modern) beginner method, then CFOP, and then settled on Roux as my main method. Learning full CMLL was my New Year's resolution, but I had to abandon that when I realized it just wasn't going to happen. Maybe I'll learn it...
