But wouldn't that make it CLLM? Maybe Corners (without use of Middle layer) of Last Layer

Except you can use the M layer

I can't remember where I saw it but I vaguely remember it being Corners Minus Last Layer.

Subsets that solve corners of the last layer are usually styled as CxLL, so this is just following the trend.

Corners (regardless of M-slice) of Last Layer.

Good point, but isn’t that a bit generic

Why not CLL for 2x2?

Why not CLL for 2x2?

CLL for 2x2 doesn't always preserve F2B edges or centers.

Can anyone get me some resources on NMCLL? The only thing I've found that still works is the first link at the bottom of the page here on Gilles Roux's website. I'm particularly interested in the second link he talks about, but it leads me to some error page.

Edit: Never mind, I was able to find it from a post somewhere in the forums about NMCLL.

NMCLL for the Roux Method

I have been learning Roux method on 3x3 and keep coming into the same issue in LSE. I orient and permute all edges but get the dots case along with 2 edges that need to be swapped. These edges are face up and correct but I don't know an algorithm to switch them.

For example, I have the dots case, but the yellow-orange edge has to be swapped with the yellow-red edge. Every other edge is correct though.

 

[macncheese]

I'm not sure, but that may be an impossible case. Reassemble the cube.

Show the diagram of the case you are illustrating in the LSE stage , @Niner4ortyniner

 

[AbsoRuud]

Or send some pics! If you do all steps right, you won't get this issue. I'm guessing you are doing something wrong.

There is no diagram for it, I have the blue and green sides fully solved. But in my M-slice, there's the dots case along with 2 edges that need to be switched with each other. They're face up like they should be. Right now the white-red edge is opposite of the white-orange edge, but they're not on their correct side.

Try going to https://www.grubiks.com/solvers/rubiks-cube-3x3x3/ and select your tile colours for each face and then press Solve!
If the cube is correct, you'll get a solve, otherwise you'll be told it's not. Hope that helps.

What variant of L7E has the lowest movecount?

edit: yes roux can have l7e, its called WaterRoux

 

[Celeritardum]

Hopefully you already have found your answer but I think that the current version of L7E on the wiki is the best. It is only slightly higher movevount than L6E and has a whole sheet with examples and algorithms for it. The EO-FR variant is also reasonable for less algorithms.

 

[Celeritardum]

Should I learn TCMLL/Tyrannical Caterpillar or CCLL?

Who is the best Meyer user for 4x4?

Who is the best Meyer user for 4x4?

my first instinct is to say kian but there could be others

33.22 single and 36.70 ao5

Sad it’s that slow, especially with the fast Rouxers in 3x3 and OH these days.
