I unfortunately don't have the luxury of attending many comps. I don't do well in them cuz I'm not really that used to the pressure. I do have a 7.67 ao5 on cam though... Am I relevant yet? My point is comps aren't everything. And sure, I could claim I'm sub-2 on 3x3 and give no evidence because...

CFOP is actually not a good method. Best method is honestly probably ZZ-a. I use CFOP btw, almost sub-9. I still regret not learning something like Roux or ZZ.

New LSLL idea: 1. Orient three U-layer corners, intuitive (4/4) 2. Finish F2L and solve CP, 36 cases with good recog, same as TTLL for the corners (8/12) 3. ELL, 29 cases (9/21) Compared to regular LSLL: 1. Finish F2L (7/7) 2. OLL (9/16) 3. PLL (12/28) Saves 7 moves and only requires 65 algs...

I don't think thats a good idea... Trying to orient corners whilst preserving a pair is sorta pointless, thing are done much more efficiently by inserting the pair and then just orienting and permuting all at once (standard Roux)

So the average moves is actually about 13, but considering we're talking about only 14 algs versus 84, I'd say it's worth 2 moves. This could be used to solve in one of two ways: 1. FB (8) 2. DRB corner (1.5) 3. L5C (13) 4. ERL (7) 5. L7E (17) Total: 46.5 1. FB (8) 2. Square (7) 3. L5C (13) 4...

I wasn't sure where to post this so I'm putting it here. I found a pretty good way to solve the L5C when FB and a 2x2 at BDR are solved. First, you orient all the corners using one of 16 algorithms, most are 2-gen and super fast, average is 5 moves. Next, you permute the corners using one of 6...

Even whilst preserving the E-slice it's 4 moves at most, and that's including AUF. The idea was bad though, so it doesn't really matter.

Sorry I did get something wrong, it's an L8E finish, probably closer to 42 moves total. Still good I guess. Not the sub-40 I was looking for.

Something like this possibly: 1. Three E-slice edges and three oriented corners on D (8 moves) 2. CO (around 4 moves, according to the Guimond wiki page) 3. Corner separation (3 moves average according to the Guimond wiki) 4. CP + DL edge (8.5 moves) 5. L7E (17 moves) Total: 39.5 moves on...

Hey guys I'm trying to find a good way of implementing Guimond (2x2 method) into something for 3x3. Any suggestions?

Ya I tried generating algs and I was totally off in terms of CP. The algs are bad and so is recog, I'm scrapping the whole idea.

Another method I thought might be good: 1. FB (8/8) 2. Orient the remaining E-slice edges and orient the edges at DF and DB (4/12) 3. Solve the E-slice and orient the rest of the D-layer (9/21) 4. OLL, lower move count due to not having to preserve F2L (7/28) 5. CP (6/34) 6. L7EP (12/46) Easy...

Ya I think I'm pushing it a little when it comes to move count. Idk tho, a lot of the CP cases would be as little as 3 moves... Any other parts that may be unrealistic?

Don't have much time to elaborate on this idea atm, I'll be back soon to explain some more but basically I was bored during a lecture and came up with this: 1. FB (8/8) 2. Belt + CO (9/17) 3. CP, details coming soon, 18 algs (6/23) 4. DR edge + influence L6E (4/27) 5. L6E (12/39)

@Thermex I spent literally hours upon hours thinking of a way to solve L7E, so what I am saying comes from a lot of experience with L7E. My method is the absolute best I could come up with using less than 100 algs. However, I know for sure that L7E can be solved in 15 moves or less every time if...

Here is the link to the complete WaterRoux L7E spreadsheet. I will be uploading an in-depth tutorial to my Youtube channel soon.

Oh right, I forgot to mention I'm working on a recognition system atm that works really well! It relies on the fact that only 3 or 4 edges out of 6 are required to recognize the L6EP algs, so you just ignore the last redge entirely. In cases when L6EP must be solved intuitively due to a setup...

@Thermex I have just finished developing a method that solve L7E in 18 moves on average, although lucky sub-15 move singles are very common. I can share my document with you as soon as I have added the finishing touches.

Lmao the alg and its inverse are the same XD

I definitely agree that TLEG-1 is a great idea for WaterRoux, but imo we're still missing one thing that would make WaterRoux perfect: a good way to do L7E. If could get L7E to under 15 moves (I'm certain this is possible, the question is how), the entire solve would be: FB+Corners: 17 E2L pair...
