Incorporating ZBF2L into Fridrich

[JeffDelucia]

I was looking through the Zbf2l algorithms on Jason Baum's site and I realized that a lot of them only vary from the "standard" algorithms by a few moves. Also learning these is very intuitive because it is easy to see how (most) work.

So heres my question. Does anyone use some Zbf2l with Fridrich? If so which cases? I use a few of the VH cases and the cases for when the corner is solved and the edge is flipped.

Yes, of course people use partial edge control and other EO tricks.

>_>

(What were you expecting?)

Yes people do.
This is nothing new, people use this kinda stuff to force skip OLL.

I use some of them for OH. I think my recognition is too slow for it to be useful for 2 hands.

 

[JeffDelucia]

I guess I should rephrase my question... Which cases do you use ZBF2L and other EO tricks on?

 

[Joker]

For OH: When I have my last F2L pair made:
0 Edges oriented: Orient 2 edges then solve F2L, then OLL and PLL.
2 Edges oriented: Orient 2 more edges (so all edges oriented) then solve F2L, COLL, and PLL.
4 Edges oriented: Look for a quick few move solution to skip OLL. Solve PLL.
For 2H, the only thing I do is when I have all edges oriented, I look for a quick few move solution to skip OLL. Solve PLL.

The VHF2L cases. You got me. I only really put into practice VHF2L, a subset of ZBF2L.

I know at least 1 ZBF2L for each of the 41? F2L cases. I know all the VH cases, and I think I know 5-8 subsets of ZBF2L (I rarely use, most of them aren't comfortable for me).
