Kirjava-Meep Method for Skewb

Recognition for l5c is hard. What I've been looking for is centers that are opposite color of the corners they are by. Like blue center by green corners. So for 5 wrong centers, if there are two opposite centers that are adjacent (red center with orange corners next to green center with blue corners) then I know it will be either X-a or X-b. Then I look to see which side the yellow center is on. If the yellow center is adjacent to one of the opposite centers on the right sde, then it will be X-a. If it adjacent to the le side it will be X-b. Also for 5 wrong centers, if one opposite center, then it will be Wat-a or Wat-b. If yellow is adjacent to the right off opp. center then it is Wat-b. If yellow center is adjacent to the left of opp. center then it is Wat-a. For the swirl cases, I look at yellow center. If the corners of yellow side's correct center is to the left then it is Swirl-a. If to the right, then Swirl-B.

So basically, I look for opp. colors then I look for yellow center and its location. Hopefully that helps recognition for some of y'all.

I look at where the top center wants to go, then the adjacent sides of that piece. Recognition gets really easy once you're used to it, the bigger problem is recalling as Skewb isn't easily finger-trickable.
 
Hopefully this notation becomes official. Much better then number notation and it's fairly simple to remember.

I should have all algs memorized by end of my vacation. Still have another 5 hourd drive tomorrow and 12 hours later this week.

On your alg page, are the ones that are quickest to execute written first? Like on peanut case there is 3 algs, is the first one the quickest?

Yeah, first one is the one I prefer. The others are either ones that Thom prefers, or are optimal.
 
I have corner algs memo'd. But l5c set up moves are giving me trouble. Whenever I have a clockwise or counterclockwise 3 center swap, I can't figure out the set up move. I'll try to set it up for a U alg, but whenever I finish the alg and undo the set-up move, the centers aren't solved?
 
You held this off for so long that I made my own algs for the method.
Some are not quite as good.
The difference that I made was that I made my algs with the skewb held the other way. Basically with the solved layer on the top not the bottom.
