A Leman's 3Style Edge Algs

[A Leman]

I finally decided to type my edge Algorithms into a list. It will not help me very much, but I am sure others will find it useful. I managed to fit them on 2 double-sided pages with the lettering scheme attached.

The old "Very Bad" list Attachment View attachment Leman 3style edges.doc

The longest algs have both targets on the M slice. Since some of these require 10moves and a rotation to be any good, I replaced them with <M,U> algs that I Like. I also do not like the <R,U>/<L,U> cyclic shifts so they are not included. You can check Skarrie’s list for those if you like them.

This took 2 long nights to type, so enjoy!

BUMP:
I have been asked to post my Current Edge cycles by someone who would probably do the same for me if I ever asked.

A lot has changed since I first made my list to learn Commutators almost 2 years ago(I'm old!). Most of the cases are not move optimal anymore and I have changed some cases multiple times since then. Overall, most of the cases that are not easy 8 movers have changed. I still use TuRBo for some cases because they are faster that way and I don't use some theoretically good cases like M'U'M'D'MUM'DM2 because of my experience locking up on them. Others were changed because they did not leave my hand in a good position to between cases. At some point, I came to the conclusion that a rotation can take more time than a wide turn which explains some of the others cases. A couple exceptions to the algs listed that I use would be cases such as xM'URU'MUR'U'x' which I take preference to if I have already done an x rotation in the previous cycle and doing the Left-Right mirror of a case if it cancels a y2 rotation between the next cycle.

I have not changed any cycles for a long time now so these are the final cases that I use. I also don't cube very often so I hope this can help others. There are certainly some very good cases here that may make it worth reading even if you are already world-class or do not use a UF buffer.

UF buffer

Yes, and in an easy, editable word document so future UF solvers don't need start thier own lists from scratch/translate things from Chis' site.

I tried to organize the list to make it more readable since that was one of the main problems I had with other lists.


There are Alot of good cycles that I might have overlooked. If there are any in particular that you suggest, post them here.

Do you use the speffz scheme? The letters aren't where they should be...

...you know that those posts are like one and a half year old, right?

This is such a flash back. This was my first pass at the list while I was trying to learn the cases. I have changed a lot of cases since then and most of these are bad. I'll put up an updated and better list of what I use now soon if someone wants it.

I don't use speffz and the letters are exactly where I put them! My scheme is on the bottom of the list.

Bump Reason: I have updated the first post and added my current list of Edge cycles!
