Compiling: List of methods

[kunz]

lol i put in sss1m and got ss also

 

[riffz]

lol 2OP.

 

[DaveyCow]

Also there's Anthony Snyder's method: http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Snyder_Method (its a 3x3 method)

heh, "method" (In my opinion)

 

[RaresB]

Does yau count?

 

[StachuK1992]

This should (and will shortly) be updated.
Just as a note, this will be under way before too long.

You still shouldn't have bumped this. :/

 

[TiLiMayor]

Does yau count?

Technically a reduction variation, so I would vote no..

 

[uberCuber]

Technically a reduction variation, so I would vote no..

If the OP has both Fridrich and VH, it should have Yau along with regular redux.

Screw Method for Square-1:

I Have been solving the rubik's cube since 1981 and have developed an algorithm wich average 40 turns for a fully mixed cube (mixed with 21 random turns or more). The cube-a-thon contests back in the 80's assumed 13 turns made a fully mixed cube - I average 36 turns to solve a 13 turn mixed cube. I used to average 15 seconds. Now I'm around 25 seconds. I think I'm the best in the world both in turns and it looks like I'm very slow, taking forever, even thought I solve it in record time. This is because of my algorithm.

I'm working with Ron Bruvhem and several other indivuduals to coordinate a new world championship. I think if you can solve it in 50 turns or less with a simple solution then you may have a very good method. My method is quite complex and would take weeks to teach anyone. I'm sure Ron has already contacted you. Hope you join us. We have found one sponsor- all we need is one more good one to make it happen.

The Snyder method is legitimate, and in theory, one of the fastest methods out there. I don't understand why no one takes it seriously.

 

[Godmil]

Because there isn't enough documentation for anyone else to learn it. And a lot of people didn't like it that he asked for donations to develop his latest version.

 

[irontwig]

Snyder's method is really powerful for FMC; basically Snyder and Heise is all you need and a lot of the time they overlap if you use pseudoblocks. For speed though I don't think his LL recog is not all that great to save a few moves. A flexible approach to F2L aka freefop is imho quite useful though.

You probably started here, but don't forget http://www.speedsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Complete_Method_List ....

What makes you think it's "one of the fastest methods out there"? - It's just another LL variation. Add to the fact that it's waaay too many algs to learn (I'm pretty sure even Tony doesn't know it all) and the fact that Tony makes some quite absurd claims about his method that can't possibly be true.

 

[stoic]

Yeah I don't really understand how it counts as a method. Isn't it really just "Tony Snyder solves the cube (using a variety of techniques) however he feels like it"?

 

[da25centz]

screw/roux for sq-1

 

[Kirjava]

Not really. It's just FreeFOP with B2L+someEO and then ELL+1 and L3C for LL.

 

[stoic]

So is it unique enough to count as a method on its own?

 

[Kirjava]

I don't consider MGLS a full method. Snyder is just an LL variation like MGLS.
