LBL Middle Layer Cases? [Ineffecient, Yet Possible]

[somerandomkidmike]

Also, recognition would be absolutely horrible. I think you should forget about this

I averaged 20 seconds for the F2L for using this.... it's not horrible.

You should upload a video solve.

maybe I should... but now that I realize it... I must have exagerated a bit. I still don't think it is that bad. I'll add it to my list of videos to make as soon as I get a camera.

This sounds kind of pointless. LBL is used by beginners, so what's the point in making it more complex by adding more algs? Fridrich F2L is faster anyway.

I'm aware the Fridrich F2L is by far the better method, the point is to expand knowledge on the cube and ways to solve it.

This knowledge already exists. Turbo-edges for blindfolded or completely freestyle edge-commutators do this. And multi-slotting is also described on many pages.

The problem with this idea is not if it CAN be done. The problem is who would use it (as described by others before me)
Beginners: No way, to many algs and you are doing > 1 thing at a time
Intermediate: No way, still to many algs. Keyhole is a better choice
Advanced: Do you really think they would do 1 layer first????

Yes.

Isn't this Watermann?
I tried solving one layer at a time yesterday and could easily average under 15 moves (block-building), compare this to 7+4*4=23 moves. After that, CLL in 6-12 moves, then what ever tricks Watermann uses to efficiently solve the rest of the edges.

But with block building, F2L can be easily be in the mid-20's.
