Hello SpeedSolving,
Because I feel that MGLS has not been seriously discussed, apart from various threads full of demeaning nonesense initially somewhat related to MGLS, and I have a general liking for the "method," and would like to see it advance as far as users, I've decided that this would be a good thread to make. MGLS is quite versatile, and can be used efficiently in CFOP, Petrus, and ZZ. (actually, pretty much anything besides Roux and CF. It just...isn't all that useful for those methods)
If you don't already have a basic understanding of MGLS, let me try and tell you here what it is:
ELS and CLS are two terms that you need to know to really survive in this thread.
ELS - Say you have the first 2 layers of a cube done, apart from one "slot" (an edge and corner adjacent to each other usually shown in the DFR and FR positions. When one does ELS, then place the FR edge in, while also orienting all last-layer edges.
CLS - Say you have the F2L done, apart from one (usually the DFR) corner, and you also have the last-layer edges oriented. When one does CLS, they will be placing the (DFR) corner into its correct spot, correctly oriented, thus finishing F2L, all-the-while orienting all 4 last-layer corners. This leaves one to only have PLL left.
If one were to use MGLS in full in a CFOP/Fridrich solve, it would consist of:
Cross, 3 F2L slots, CLS, ELS, PLL
If one were to use MGLS in a Petrus or ZZ solve, where the edges are already (inherently by the basic steps of the methods) oriented, they would simply throw the edge with {R,U} moves, then proceed to CLS.
Please, do not let this thread turn cancerous. Please read through the above posts, and a few before the time of your post, so you understand a good bit. I hope to have cleared up some things that people apparently didn't get about the method, and explain'd stuffz gud.
