Well then I am gonna start generating algs for variant A or if they are already generated gonna start learning them.This could work too as a variant, probably better for CFOPers, I basically just combined steps 1 & 2.
// Example //
- EOPair (or EOSquare)
- Pair (or corner if square)
- Finish
Scramble: R2 B2 L2 D2 B' L2 B' L R' F' L' F R' F2 U'
U' r U R' U' M // EOPair (unintentional square)
R U R' U R U R' U2 // Pair
R U R U R2 D' R U R' D R2 U2 R2 // Finish
Edit: also interesting realisation for the final alg, you only need to look at the U layer, as 1 edge and 1 corner are not in the U layer, so are affected by pieces in the U-layer. So you can recognise the corner pattern, then probably the location of the U layer edges
Edit 2: There is actually more like 430 ish algs in the final step. I might work on a way to reduce this alg count.
// Major Edit - big change //
The reason for the huge amount of algs is because there are 5 possible configurations of two solved top layer pairs, leading to 5 algsets of ~85 algs each. This is not only impractical for being able to use the method, but one of the sets in particular has very bad cases. So, I decided that having a block with only 1 possible position would fare better for this method.
I have come up with some steps that should work, and the alg reduction is huge! There are three ways to go about it, I don't know which is better.
Variant A
- EOPair
- CPSquare (amount of algs is like ZBLS vs VHLS, you can have the pair and edge ready, then do it, or just do it)
- Finish (71 algs, position square at UBL)
Variant B
- EO
- CPPair
OR
- EOPair
- CP
OR even
- EOCP
THEN
- Finish (~170 algs) with the algset (variant B1)
OR
- Conjugated 2GLL (84 algs, harder recog) (variant B2)
Variant C
- EOPair
- Conjugated ZBLL (~430 algs I forgot how many)
I think variant A could be the best all round, so here's an example for it (I don't have CE with me right now so I cannot gen CP-based algs because the batch solver doesn't do that)
Examples
Scramble: R2 B2 D L2 D L2 D2 B2 R2 U' R B U B' R'
F' U F // EOPair
R2 U' L' U R' U' L R' // CPSquare (idrk algs for this)
R2 U R2 U' R2 U R2 U2 R2 U2 R2 U // Finish
