This is more or less PCMS though that doesn't do OLL/PLL as that is more inefficient and slower.I literally just thought of this method for 3x3. No names, most probably thought of. Heavily uses M-slice.
So, this is a sort of M-slice relying method like Roux, but its easier I could say?
Steps :
First 4 Columns
F2L using U moves and M-slices
OLL
PLL
This is super indetailed, so just read through.
Basically, you build 4 big 1x1x3 columns on 4 sides of the cube intuitively. The next step uses a lot of center orienting
(cuz the centers aren't always in the correct place) and M-slices to solve F2L while preserving Corner Permutation. and for LL, since the 4 Corners are oriented and permuted, you just need to solve edges with the 3-4 OLL cases for solving edges only. The next step will mostly be M-slice PLL algs, namely U,U',Z and H-perms. there may be other non-M-slice algs but it is still a PLL alg which you most probably have already learnt. That is all for this crappy and probably very inefficient method. Please tell me whether this method was created before(probably), and comment your views on this method.
Thanks for reading!
It's not too bad a method though not very widely used and it is generally acknowledged that roux is better because you don't have to deal with S or rotations which can be difficult to do smoothly in a slice heavy method. Cool idea though yes it has been thought of before.
