Straight-forward square-1 method

[TheCubeMaster5000]

I've looked at the Thrawst and emilescube square-1 tutorials, and I'm not very satisfied with either of them. The former has more algs, but is too algorithmic with getting the cube shape (plus the alg sheet is confusing). And the latter has a good cube shape intuitiveness, but too few algs in orientation and permutation.

The main point is that I mess up algs too often and I need better algs to begin with. Any input would be appreciated as to where I could get better algs or maybe a website with clear, step-by-step instructions.

L block - intuitive

R block - intuitive

CP - J and N perm

02:39:25 <+DanCohen> J = / (3,-3) / (3,0) / (-3,0) / (0,3) / (-3,0) /

02:39:31 <+DavidWoner> Nperm = [/(-3 -3)/(3,0)]x3

L/R edges - M2 and U perm

<+DanCohen> /3,0/1,0/0,-3/-1,0/-3,0/1,0/0,3/

Mslice - Intuition and /(3,0)/(0,3)/(1,0)/(0,-1)/(0,1)/(-1,-3)/(-3,0)/



Parity; /(-3,-3)/(3,0)/(-3,-3)/(2,0)/( -4,2)/(4,-2)/(1,0)/(-3,-3)/



1,0/-3,0/5,0/3,3/1,0/-2,0/2,0/0,-2/2,0/-4,0/3,-4/-3,-3/



03:59:32 <+DavidWoner> 1 0 / 6 -1 / 6 1 /

03:59:34 <+DavidWoner> is optimal

I use this!
But only because I haven't bothered learning more than this, and this is kinda what I BS'd when I "made up" a method.

Never heard of Roux/screw square-1 method....... checking it out.....

I am really liking the video!

I just did like one solve with this method and my time was at least a minute less than I normally average.

That method is technically the method I use now, but I don't know all of the algs. The page will definitely help me!

Screw looks interesting, but I'm too in love with the cubezone method

I'm getting better at placing the blocks in the bottom layer, usually in under 30 seconds. The permutations are hard because I always think I know what to do but then I mess it up. That's where the loads and loads of algorithms help.
