The New Method / Substep / Concept Idea Thread

[Adnylzz]

For B-Mehta (the name I gave to my Mehta APB variant) you can also use the standard 9 LXS cases where the FR edge is inserted and then coll and epll

Hey J-B,got nay suggestions for my method?

Hey J-B,got nay suggestions for my method?

I tested the variant where you make the whole columns and insert the cross, then you just do eo exactly like In Roux and you finish the same. It works. For the second method I have to think a bit, because I don't know how to do eo with 8 edges ok? When I'll finish I'll send you everything

New method idea: Using Pinkie Pie roux variant with CFOP instead

There is a roux variant called pinkie pie:

I think this variant can be applied to CFOP.
The idea is to place the UL/UR edges while doing the CFOP cross.
Here is an example solve to show what I mean:

B R2 B' D2 F D2 F U2 B' D2 F' R D L' F L2 D2 F U F2 // Scramble

x2 // Inspection
R' D F' L R' D // Pseudo-cross
U2 R U' R' d L U' L' // 1st pair
U D' R U' R' U L' U' L u // 2nd and 3rd pair
L U L' U' L U L' // 4th pair
U' F R U R' U' R2 D R' U R D' R2 U' F' // OLLCP
U2 M2 // LSE 4b
U M U2 M // LSE 4c

I think this method is better than CFOP because finishing LSE after OLLCP is way more efficient than PLL, you have more room for creativity at the beginning of the solve and many OLLCP algs are as good as their standard OLL alg.
Also OLLCP algs are easier to recognize and look better to execute than ZBLL algs to me.
That's why I think this method can also compete with the ZB method while having less than half the amount of algs.

This is actually a pretty good method; here's a link to a writeup with additional variants. No More PLL Method I'm not sure that it's better than straight CFOP.
But my current main method is ZZ-4c, which includes doing an pseudo EOCross and starting the solve an M2 slice away so the 4b setup is completed during the EOcross.

Didn't know it was already proposed, thanks for sharing!

PS - doing EOcross at the beginning of the method (which turns the method into ZZ-4c) takes this method over the top in terms of viability, making it competitive to CFOP and ZB

i have created a new methord called psudo fcl please check it out and tell me any suddgestions for improvments on this methords on the comments the vid is:

Hello everyone, I just theorised a new Speedsolving method, that I call JB, that has a relatively low alg count, controlling last slot and last layer in two phases.

The method has 4 steps
1)Cross+ 1 corner.
2)Solve 3 f2l pairs.
3)Insert the last f2l edge while making eo and phasing
4)Close the solve with ZZLL

I made an approximative count of the algs and there are 44 algorithms for the last edge, and 169 algorithms for ZZLL.

I'm open to suggestions!
