The New Method / Substep / Concept Idea Thread

I have a problem with that. Recognition.

Probably doesn't have a better movecount than CFOP and the algs will be awful.

 

[Waffles]

Yeah, it’s good to just get to know the cube better. I doubt that anyone would use this though.

Yeah, solving E Layer edges. Ugh. Those algs are gonna be terrible. And the fact that you need to train like 5 steps with over 20 algs doesn’t help it.

better ub perm from the front: R' U' R U' R U R2 U R U' R U' R'
didn't see this alg anywhere else, so im assuming its new

It's just the inverse of the popular Ua perm R U R' U R' U'...
Not a good alg. R2 U R U R' U' R3 U' R' U R' is better.

I'm kind of glad I didn't come up with ZZ. I probably would have called it "E-Line Crust" because you have a EO followed by the line hence "E-Line" or Elon. You get "Crust" because EO fixes all the edges so once at LL you have a cross on the "U" or, "T" face giving you "Crust" or, Musk.


E-Line Crust = Elon Musk

imo the best u perm is the one with m moves

if ur consistent at it, the s move ones are the fastest

Not like you’d use it in a solve though. Also you sent that at 4:20 AM my time ;/

Me who uses S move U perms in solves…

i can do RUS u perms consistently in solves if i slow it down to around 0.6-0.7

 

[the dnf master]

It seems like no one here learned from luke garret

for me, the s move u perms feel weird to me, so I just do the MU one, because it has fewer regrips than the common RU one, and when I started to be able to do advanced m move fingertricks, i switched to it

the RU ones from the back are regripless

 

[BenChristman1]

I only use them when it’s at that angle, though. I use MU from the front and the back.

Algs being consistent/locky is subject to the user's turning style. There are people who screw up the RUS U perms consistently and there are people like Brian Sun who can do them in 0.4 in a solve consistently.
(Coincidentally, my only sub 1 PLL is R2 U' S R2' S' R2 U R2 lol)

Not really, there are a lot of people who use the same fingertricks for an alg, because it's the best, yet some can achieve amazing amazing times while others lock up 95% of the time.

Oh wait I used the wrong word lol. I meant turning style.

Here is a very interesting idea for a method that it very similar to CFOP/CFCE in a way, if you inspect it closely.
1. Build a 2 by 2 by 2 block anywhere on the cube
2. Solve the three corners that are touching the block, and simultaneously solve a edge adjacent to each corner
3. Permute the remaining four corners (28 Algorithms)
4. Permute the remaining four edges (About 50 Algorithms)
The Pros: Solving corner edge pairs after making block is more efficient since you can solve either edge pair adjacent to the corner, so you can decide which edge pair would be faster and more effective
The Cons: Lookahead is pretty bad

That’s like Tripod but probably worse
