New edge orientation...

[Harris Chan]

This is pretty interesting, seeing from this post...

So, after seeing the scramble and solution for Danyang's 55s solve (thanks to the guy who did it - don't know your name ), I started to think about this issue...

what I'm using now is considering an edge oriented if it can reach solved position within U, D, F, B, R2, L2

and he uses the another approach, with F2, B2, R, L

so, I was wondering...seeing the cool setups he did on that solve, it looks like a good option to use that parameter...I mean, doing setups on R and L (quarter turns) looks easier (at least to me) than on F and B...

this may be just a wrong impression, given his wonderful time : )

but I'd like to hear what you guys have to say about it...

That is pretty interesting, and you just have to orient the E edges a bit differently...

Does that mean that you would just perform algs on different faces as well?

That is, in addition to new and different set up moves?

You'd have remember that during your solve so that you do the correct set of setup moves. But I guess it's kinda like opposite cross. It's fine once you get used to it.

Well, then you would have to do F2 and B2 instead which I think is worse than R2 L2.
