Does this (sub) method have a name?

ZBLL has yet to be proven an effective method.

The reason I'm seeing that the DB first idea wouldn't be as fast as Gilles' way is that placing DB ends up being unnecessary.

- Orient edges after placing DB - About a 6 move average.
- Permute remaining 5 edges - 7.5 move average.

- Orientation step in normal LSE - About a 6 move average.
- Place UL+UR and finish M - A little less than an 8 move average.

Now what is left to consider? That you placed DB in the beginning - About a 3 move average. I also didn't consider the 3 AUFs for DB First, but I did consider them for normal LSE because it's really all one step. It's easy to average 13 moves for normal LSE in a speedsolve, that seems very difficult to do with DB First.

This is all just move count, not considering what is easiest to recognize and what type of steps are faster.

the only benefit i s from this mthod is if somone was changing from roux to fridrich or fridrich to roux

I like Petrus F2L plus OLL and PLL. You only need to memorize a few OLL algs because the cross is already made by finishing the F2L.

I tried this. I called this Roux2L.

I called this Roux2L.

Or we can NOT call it Roux2L

I meant the F2L method described. It's F2B and the last FL edges.

I think it would be good if someone got good at it

Nice bump dude.
On topic, no. The reasons are already stated in this thread.
