methods for Edges Only 3x3x3

[Deleted member 36445]

As I was testing some 3D printed corners on a compatible cube I had here I tried solving only the edges

I found a easy and obvious way for most CFOP solvers, that is: solving cross, middle layer edges, 2LOLL orientation, sunes for permutation

what other methods suitable for edges only may me?

You should use 5-style yo. It’s the fastest and most efficient method of solving edges yo.

fastest compared to what?

To 3-style and others (i think that's what he meant)

I'm curious, how many cubers solve faster and more effiiciently using 5style than using 3style and others?

I think you could do 1LLSLLif you do EO w/ last slot

8355 or Sexy method is pretty fast on the edge only cube, and super easy.

not effecient but rowan fortier has an amazing video on 3x3 to 2x2 redux and other cursed redux methods

i know this will sound like a surprise to some but unironically eocross -> 3 f2l edges -> superphase ll edges

good idea.

what is "superphase LL edges"? is is any different from phasing?

when inserting last edge with phasing you are garanteed skip or worst case possible for EPLL on edges-only cube (double sune)

phasing is just solving 2 opposite edges and is easy to do intuitively
superphasing is solving all 4 edges and is easier done with algs

I found a thread from 3 years ago about this subject and surprisingly there were posts of mine there

https://www.speedsolving.com/threads/phasing-to-always-solve-all-4-corners-zz.88530/

maybe superphasing can be doable on edges-only cube

i thought you needed lpepll but nah its an even shorter set to superphase. ill just gen it
ok it is literally just lpepll but 2gen:

these are for the FR edge in UB.
R U' R' U' R U' R' - 3 solved edges
U' R U2 R' - Z perm edges
R U R' - FU and FR opposite, AUFing FU and FL into their spot leaves them correct
U2 R U R' U' R U' R' - FU and FR opppsite, AUFing FU and FL in their spot leaves them swapped
U2 R U' R' - FU and FL opposite, AUFing FU and FR in their spot leaves them correct
U R U2 R' U R U' R' - FU and FL opposite, AUFing FU and FR in their spot leaves them swapped
mirror the exact algs and recog for FL if you wish. i dunno how to mirror to the back tho, maybe that's just cause i suck at cubing

thanks a lot.

I use this utility to mirror algs:
