The FRNB method

[Mr.Ducky]

let’s clarify things:
Step 1: F2L pairs (lol this feels weird to put first)
Step 2: Orient LL corners
Step 3: Solve cross
Step 4: solve OLL
Step 5: solve PLL

Judging from the example solve thread, the method is VERY un-ergonomic. Frequent S moves (even S2s), M moves, B moves, make this not really ergonomic. This could just depend on the user though, but from what I’m seeing it seems like the combination of S and M moves are inevitable. This combination of moves also makes lookahead bad. There are multiple blind spots which makes lookahead tedious, and F2L cases can be awkward. Honestly, this feels like a degraded version of PCMS. Sorry if this seemed harsh, but I think the only thing potentially going for it is alg count and efficiency. It might work well as an intermediate/beginner FMC method (idk if slice moves count as two moves though. If so, then forget I said that)

I agree on the M moves problem and it being more for beginners, im currently working on a new one where you basically do roux but do one of 3 oll and one of 4 pll instead of the other steps

You were beaten by probably more than a decade. I've done this already today and I'm very sorry everyone, but when you have a hobby this old, you are bound to have ideas that have already been had.

No problem, I need a good idea not a original one

do you want to be a advanced method? or a method with few algorithms?

Also, fyi, there’s a thread for new method ideas:

Thread 'The New Method / Substep / Concept Idea Thread'

Mar 17, 2013

Please read before posting

I'm making this thread for all of those ideas you have that are interesting, yet are not fully developed. This is a place to post them. I have come up with many ideas and didn't want to post a new thread for every one of them when most don't get very far. Perhaps if an idea gets very far, it may deserve its own thread, but until then, it should go here.

Be open and understanding
Everyone should be open to new ideas, yet also understanding if others don't think it will work.

Post all kinds of ideas
Feel free to post all kinds of ideas...

i really like your method because its really advanced but right now i can barely learn full oll, so im looking for a method with low algrorithems i can still be quick with.

no, i say, do you want your method to be advanced? Or for begginers?

I think FRNB is for beginners but im trying to advance it. Why do you ask?

 

[Mr.Ducky]

It isnt as active though, is there a new method category i can post in?

It just gets inactive for period when no one has any new ideas, but if you post a method idea there then people will discuss it in there, and it will get active for that discussion.

Agreed. New threads for individual methods should only be made once the method has had significant development, and has been confirmed to be original - everything should start in this other thread though.

Update: working on new method, know that it would maybe have anti pll and some algrorithems (not too much)

Struggling with first steps only though
