Over the past couple weeks I've come up with an idea about a new 3x3x3 method. It resembles the roux method with a few variations. Here is the layout of my method.
1. Solve two 1x1x3 blocks opposite each other on the bottom layer i.e. red and orange. (this is different than the roux method's 1x2x3)
2. solve the top red and orange edges then orient and permute the top corners.(of course this could be done much more efficiently but I am not worried about that now)
3. Solve the remaining eight edges. Because of the way the solved cubes are placed, you can solve the remaining edges with E and M slices without misplacing any other pieces.
Do you guys have any suggestions of how this method could be tweaked?
Improvements would be helpful. Thanks!
