3-cycle edge orientation problem

[skinnyandweak]

this is a question for the people that use the 3 cycle.

when i started learning how to solve a cube blind folded, i guess i didn't see the EO correctly. i made a diagram showing the way it's supposed to be done, and the way i do it. just an easier way for me to explain.



it's accomplishing the same thing, but all i have to do in order to permute the edges is just change the (UDF2B2RL) group to (UDFBR2L2), in order to preserve orientation.

is this okay? should i continue doing it like this?

(sorry i didn't show the other views of the cubes in the picture. i'm sure you guys already know what it's supposed to be)

The "way you've been doing it" was the regular way until recently, when everybody realized F2B2 is better.

Stay with the way you've been doing it! It's better.

I would relearn, but I'd rather do freestyle. Thing is, I would much rather have learned the F2B2. It lends itself to easier pre-orient (no-rotation) F2L (LUR).
