New 2x2 method: OLB

[turtwig]

The main problem with this is the PLLs on 2x2 are not that good. Frankly, I feel that there would not be many cases where inserting the corners while solving OLL would be better than just inserting the corners in the easiest way and doing CLL.
When the last 2 corners and OLL algorithm is easy, I'd imagine it's almost always just because the last 2 corners are easy to insert, in which case EG would almost always be better.
Otherwise, you would basically have to do 2 algs that are not that good. Even if the bar was already made, I don't see solutions using this method as particularly attractive.
In my opinion, an algset like this would probably be most useful as alternate face algs to force better EG cases. But most useful cases would probably just be intuitive solutions that people already use.
Also, if I did the math right, the number of cases in this algset would be 2187.

BTW bar is intuitive

BTW bar is intuitive

What are you trying to say? Making a layer or a face is also intuitive.

The main issue with the method is that you are still doing two algs, and one is PLL, and PLL on 2x2 isn't fast, and even though you might get skips, it isn't work it.

@turtwig said that there is 2187 algs, which is a lot. It would be more worth it to learn just 80 algs (even less!) for CLL and Eg-1 and then there is anti-CLL.

The method is definitely better than LBL in my opinion (if you are willing to learn every alg and quickly recognize cases) but to learn the algs you would be putting way more effort into learn these algs than EG algs, but this method uses 2x2 PLL as well.

in eg, you have to solve the first face
but in this method, you don't have to make a first face, so that's a pro (cp112 seems great too for a 1L solve)

but how long does the first face take?

You can gray out pieces so they’re ignored. Sounds like you just didn’t learn to use CE correctly. Also just use the batch solver.

the piece grayout feature does not work in the 2x2 version of CE
