... and the first step is shared with guimond.
It's not the same as Guimond.
In Guimond you start with 3/4 of a face of opposite colours (most scrambles have this already if you're CN), and then do a short alg to build *2* faces of opposite colours. Separation is again a very short alg and brings you to PBL.
Guimond is the best PBL-based 2x2 method IMHO. It has a reasonable number of algs, with great move-count. Separation prediction means that if you're good you can plan all your moves to PBL during inspection.
Learning tonnes of algs for a PBL-based method seems a bit pointless, when you're competing with something like CLL/EG.
Thanks for quoting me out of context >_>
I was talking about this method in 2 steps, which would be corner orientation, then PBL and separation in 1 step, hence, the corner orientation would be pretty much the same as the first step of guimond.
