It sounds like Guus was there, but I cannot be sure about there voices 25 years ago.

I heard he averaged 16 seconds back in the 80s. I really wanted to see some more videos of him solving because I'm starting to use his method in addition to Roux.

Wow, that was amazing, he did it faster than I normally solve without proper inspection!

It's his own method, yes, corners first. 1) Solve L-face 2) Solve remaining corners 3) solve 2 or 3 redges 4) solve remaining redges and orient midges 5) solve midges.

His name has come up often when people discuss fast CF methods.

Ron posted this video on the speedcubing.com main page a few years ago, so that's probably where Erik got it from. I love the way he preinspected

that was nuts. set that method wild with a few fingertricks and i'm sure we'll see some nasty times.
and yes, that inspection was hilarious.

Doesn't he remind you of Mario? Also, does Josef Jelinek use the Waterman method?

The full method, at Josef Jelinek's site. I'm not sure but I think he told me he uses it for corners some years ago, but I'm not sure about edges. At least I'm sure he uses it for 2x2x2 (we where dicussing 2x2x2 methods in a couple of mails back then).
I'm also using it for 2x2x2 but I got my own set of algos.

There are tons of algorithms, haha.

Only about 100. The red/green sequences are not necessary, only alternatives.
