Already Existing Concept/Method Thread

Lol, nice to see the Google geeks at it again

Looks like wikipedia are in on it too.

Hah. I love google's humor.

Bump. Because this topic already has alot of links.

First post...

Can you add the Petro method?

 

[Cride5]

-ZZ Method(somewhat similar to Fridrich, as far as cross/F2L slots you fill in)

ZZ does not use a cross. The first step (EOLine) is orientation of all 12 edges, and placement of two down-face edges (DF and DB). The F2L stage involves blockbuilding two 1x2x3 sides (in a similar manner to the first step of Roux). Unlike Roux, however, edges are already oriented and only R, U and L moves are required. Doing EOCross followed by CE pairs is a ZZ-Fridrich hybrid, its not ZZ, and is certainly less efficient.

Can you add the Petro method?

Can you also add the XG method?

Petro seems ineffecient. Were you serious about the XG?

Since when is effeciency a criterion to be considered a concept/method?
And yes, I'm serious.

Technically, efficiency isn't a criterion to be considered a method. But then again, I could make a tutorial on how to solve the cube only by using a J perm, and call it an already exsisting concept. Would that concept really have any use? This is for semi-useful concepts/methods. Link to XG thread please?

Yes, J-perm-only can be used in FMC.

Anyhow, have fun deciding what's useful.

 

[rachmaninovian]

please put sandwich as a variation!

 

[krazedkat]

Could you add the Petro method to that list. Its edges first...

Good idea. Also make sure to add XG as a Fridrich variant.

 

[krazedkat]

And what is sanwich exactly?

 

[krazedkat]

Guitardude. that was out of line. English is my 3rd language! My first is Slovak and second is Czech...

 

[Lucas Garron]

-XG (Extreme Garron)

That's incorrect. XG stands for "Xtreme-Garron"

 

[krazedkat]

I still don't see the Petro Method...

 

[fanwuq]

Pyraminx:
FP (face permute)
WO (Odder's method)
LBL
Patterson (Oka)

3x3 BLD:
M2 variant: Deadalnix
R2 variant: Freestyle for Dummies

Big cubes:
Oxidation

2x2:
SS
EG


Edit:
Oxidation doesn't exist yet... maybe?
This list is ridiculous. Don't we already have this in the wiki?

 

[Paul Wagner]

New F2L method based off of Fridrich.

Step 1. Cross
Step 2. Insert E layer edges.
Step 3. Solve three corner/edge pairs.
Step 4. Orient U layer edges.
Step 5. MGLS/ Insert fourth edge
^ ^
Step 6. PLL Step 6.OLL
Step 7. PLL

Lol, didn't you mean :fp ...that's me used up my month's quota

This list is ridiculous. Don't we already have this in the wiki?

If it isn't already, it deffo should be. I was going to do some method edits on the wiki, but the Front page really needs re-structuring. There's:
3x3x3 Methods -> Beginner's Methods
and..
Common Methods -> Basic method (with the same stuff!)
Experimental methods
etc, etc.

It really needs tidying up.

Methods-wise, I was thinking we should probably have a single page with a table containing ALL methods ever discussed. I'm happy to go ahead and implement this, but I'd like to discuss it with some more senior members before-hand. If any of the older WIKI'ers are interested could you PM me?

EDIT: The Wiki now hosts a complete list of methods here. Feel free to add to it
