Hey, New to the forum(joined previous week) first ever thread so please tell where to improve.
I am sub 13 and aiming for sub 10 for the longest time was not consistently able to plan my first pair due to laziness, until only today during an online class I was doing slow X look Solve practise when I came across this new way of planning the first pair.
Pre requisites-
1) Edge Orientation
2) Able to track cross corner sticker during inspection
How it Goes
suppose you have solved the cross, you find a corner which will stay on the U layer and track its sticker of the cross colour.
Then you find its corresponding edge and know its orientation,
If the cross sticker is upwards then life and tracking both are easy but if they are not you use the edge for help.
If cross sticker is not on the top, you are down to two cases to solve the pair one with the rotation and one without the rotation
here you use the edge orientation.
If the edge is oriented you have eliminated the F2L case requiring the rotation
Leaving you with the only F2L case which is your first F2L case
I know this was a LOT lengthy but just try it once in an AO5.
Any recommendations are appreciated
Hope this Helped!!!!!!!
