Random Cubing Discussion

need to commit some ideas to 'paper'

5x5x5 LL idea;
solve tredge -> ELL (always easy) -> tredge -> L2T

6x6x6 and up cross&centres idea;
2 opp centres -> centre -> connect dedge -> centre -> connect dedge -> L2C -> 2 dedges
 
Gosh why did I even watch Thom's video, should've known I'd feel like a noob afterwards. Strengthens my love for the 4x4 and its endless solving options, though.
 
Has anyone thought of this substep before? If so, could someone give me a link to the algs?

Solve the cross and three F2L pairs so the cube looks like this:

Then, orient all the edges and put the edge that belongs in the last F2L pair in its correct position:

After this, insert the corner into its slot and orient all the corners on the top:

I tried to make them cool while avoiding rotations, but they are not necessarily representative of my actual solves, lol. Anything worthwhile?

Solve 1:
I'll get to the other tomorrow. Family just got here.

::EDIT:: Lol, let's be honest. I'll never get to these. If somebody else asks for the rest of the solves, I'll do them. But I have no motivation on my own.

Probably Unnecessary Beginner LSE Orientation

1. Place an oriented edge at DB
2. Adjust U to have a misoriented edge at BU
3. M'UM until 3 on U, 1 on D goal
