Are there any methods that...

[krazedkat]

require you to get the top and bottom layers and THEN the middle layer? Other than waterman (I think waterman does that...)

Lol. Roux sideways???

There was a discussion about the belt/doughnut or something like that method here a while back. Solving the middle layer last would basically be like doing it out of order.

Just asking because the M layer can be solved easily using U2 and M moves...

 

[brunson]

You know the "middle" that is not the top and bottom is called the "E" layer, right?

 

[Sa967St]

corners first? (corners, first layer, last layer, E slice)

Turn it sideways -.-... And I almost forgot: It is easy to solve the M layer with F2 U2 and M moves... I forgot F2. For example... And alg. to solve a 3 edge CClockwise swap on R: F2 U2 M' U2 M F2

Here is the method I learned that does exactly what you are asking for.

 

[krazedkat]

Thanks robert . I shall learn it...

Guimond Method.

I assume you mean once the L and R layers are solved. If so, are you sure about that?

How do you orient edges with only F2 U2 and M moves ?
