The '''Zipper Method''' is a speedsolving method created by Justin Taylor in 2017, several months after development of the [[Ribbon Method]]. The method was created as a Two-Look solution for the Last Slot and Last Layer without preorienting edges and maintaining a manageable algorithm count. This allows great versatility in approach for the [[F2L]], along with a smooth transition into LSLL. Additionally, this method has a very fast LS+LL, as it combines the well-established OLLCP step with L5E, a [[2gen]], low algorithm step with easy recognition and execution. The method retains every ergonomic advantage of [[CFOP]], while containing one fewer "look" in the solve and saving an average of 9 moves with a CFOP-like approach to F2L. Zipper can either be used as a standalone method, or in conjunction with other CFOP subsets whenever a corner solves itself during F2L.

==The Steps==
* '''''Cross + 1 Corner (Fish):''''' This is the most distinctive part of the Zipper Method. Taking an average of 6 moves and no more than 9 moves, this step solves the [[Cross]] on the bottom and any first layer corner, forming a "fish" on the bottom layer. This slot is referred to as the Zipper Slot. Technically, the Zipper Slot can be solved at any point during the F2L, such as using [[Multislotting]] to insert the lone corner during the solving of another slot. This is done whenever is easiest during F2L execution.
* '''''F2L:''''' There are three remaining F2L slots to be solved. Typically, this is done using pairs as in CFOP. However, any approach can be taken to solve the cube up to F2L-1 Edge. First Block, carried over from [[Roux]], may be used in conjunction with <RrUM> for the rest of F2L to provide an efficient and rotationless option to finish F2L.
* '''''[[OLLCP]]:''''' This is the first algorithm set of the Zipper Method. There are 331 algorithms to orient the last layer of the cube and permute the remaining corners in an average of 11 moves with as few as 6. Although OLLCP algs are often used as an extension of CFOP, the full set must be used with Zipper in order to guarantee that the corners are permuted. In order to correctly use OLLCP in Zipper, the orientation of the edge in the Zipper Slot must be accounted for. Using a similar recognition style as [[ZZ]], the Zipper Slot is placed in either the FR or BR position. Using this, the edge that belongs in the Zipper Slot is treated as any other LL edge, and the OLLCP alg is executed.
* '''''L5E:''''' This step solves the remaining 5 oriented edges of the cube, containing the LL edges and either the FR or BR edge. This step is executed in an average of 10 moves with as few as 6. There are 12 algs for each slot, as well as the 4 standard EPLL algs. This set can be executed using exclusively the <RU> move group, but many of the fastest algs for each case use other move groups.

First Block, carried over from [[Roux]], may be used in conjunction with <RrUM> for the rest of F2L to provide an efficient and rotationless option to finish F2L.
* '''''TOLS:''''' This is the first algorithm set of the Ribbon Method. There are 173 algorithms to orient the last layer of the cube and the DFR corner with no regard for permutation in an average of 10 moves with as little as 6. This is divided into three subsets: '''TOLS+''', '''TOLS-''', and '''TOLSo'''. '''TOLS+''' has the U or D colored sticker of the DFR corner twisted to face towards the solver, and has 58 algorithms. '''TOLS-''' has the U or D colored sticker of the DFR corner twisted to face to the right of the solver, and also has 58 algorithms. '''TOLSo''' has the U or D colored sticker of the DFR corner twisted to face downwards. All OLL algorithms can be used in this step. The entire step can purely be recognized from the top layer, and is sorted by shape, just as OLL is. There is a 1/648 for getting a TOLS skip with zero influence, but using [[Partial Corner Control]] through methods such as [[VLS]] can allow you to skip this step consistently.
* '''''TTLL/PLL:''''' This step solves either the last 9 or 8 oriented pieces of the cube. During TOLS, there is a 1/5 chance of the last corner solving itself, resulting in a PLL algorithm. However, if the corner is not solved, one of 72 algorithms averaging 14 moves and taking as little as 7 can be used to finish the solve. There is a 1/405 chance of skipping this step, which can be reduced further by learning additional TOLS algorithms to force PLL, reducing this to a 1/72 chance of getting a One-Look Last Slot and Last Layer.

The '''Ribbon Method''' is a speedsolving method created by Justin Taylor in 2017. The method was created as a Two-Look solution for the Last Slot and Last Layer without preorienting edges and maintaining a manageable algorithm count. This allows great versatility in approach for the [[F2L]], along with a smooth transition into LSLL. The method retains every ergonomic advantage of [[CFOP]], while containing one fewer "look" in the solve and saving an average of 6 moves with a CFOP-like approach to F2L. Ribbon can either be used as a standalone method, or in conjunction with other CFOP subsets whenever an edge solves itself during F2L.

==The Steps==
* '''''Ribbon:''''' This is the most distinctive part of the Ribbon Method. Taking an average of 6 moves and no more than 9 moves, this step solves the [[Cross]] on the bottom and any second layer edge, forming a "ribbon" around a corner. This slot is referred to as the Ribbon Slot. Technically, the Ribbon Slot can be solved at any point during the F2L, such as using [[Multislotting]] to insert the lone edge during the solving of another slot. This is done whenever is easiest during F2L execution.
* '''''F2L:''''' There are three remaining F2L slots to be solved. Typically, this is done using pairs as in CFOP. However, any approach can be taken to solve the cube up to F2L-1 Corner. First Block, carried over from [[Roux]], may be used in conjunction with <RrUM> for the rest of F2L to provide an efficient and rotationless option to finish F2L.
* '''''TOLS:''''' This is the first algorithm set of the Ribbon Method. There are 173 algorithms to orient the last layer of the cube and the DFR corner with no regard for permutation in an average of 10 moves with as little as 6. This is divided into three subsets: '''TOLS+''', '''TOLS-''', and '''TOLSo'''. '''TOLS+''' has the U or D colored sticker of the DFR corner twisted to face towards the solver, and has 58 algorithms. '''TOLS-''' has the U or D colored sticker of the DFR corner twisted to face to the right of the solver, and also has 58 algorithms.

The '''Ribbon Method''' is a speedsolving method created by Justin Taylor in 2017. The method was created as a Two-Look solution for the Last Slot and Last Layer without preorienting edges and maintaining a manageable algorithm count. This allows great versatility in approach for the [[F2L]], along with a smooth transition into LSLL. The method retains every ergonomic advantage of [[CFOP]], while containing one fewer "look" in the solve and saving an average of 6 moves with a CFOP-like approach to F2L. Ribbon can either be used as a standalone method, or in conjunction with other CFOP subsets whenever an edge solves itself during F2L.

==The Steps==
* '''''Ribbon:''''' This is the most distinctive part of the Ribbon Method. Taking an average of 6 moves and no more than 9 moves, this step solves the [[Cross]] on the bottom and any second layer edge, forming a "ribbon" around a corner. This slot is referred to as the Ribbon Slot. Technically, the Ribbon Slot can be solved at any point during the F2L, such as using [[Multislotting]] to insert the lone edge during the solving of another slot. This is done whenever is easiest during F2L execution.
* '''''F2L:''''' There are three remaining F2L slots to be solved. Typically, this is done using pairs as in CFOP. However, any approach can be taken to solve the cube up to F2L-1 Corner. First Block, carried over from [[Roux]], may be used in conjunction with <RrUM> for the rest of F2L to provide an efficient and rotationless option to finish F2L.
* '''''TOLS:''''' This is the first algorithm set of the Ribbon Method. There are 173 algorithms to orient the last layer of the cube and the DFR corner with no regard for permutation in an average of 10 moves with as little as 6. This is divided into three subsets: '''TOLS+''', '''TOLS-''', and '''TOLSo'''. '''TOLS+''' has the U or D colored sticker of the DFR corner twisted to face towards the solver, and has 58 algorithms. '''TOLS-''' has the U or D colored sticker of the DFR corner twisted to face to the right of the solver, and also has 58 algorithms. '''TOLSo''' has the U or D colored sticker of the DFR corner twisted to face downwards. All OLL algorithms can be used in this step. The entire step can purely be recognized from the top layer, and is sorted by shape, just as OLL is. There is a 1/648 for getting a TOLS skip with zero influence, but using [[Partial Corner Control]] through methods such as [[VLS]] can allow you to skip this step consistently.
* '''''TTLL/PLL:''''' This step solves either the last 9 or 8 oriented pieces of the cube. During TOLS, there is a 1/5 chance of the last corner solving itself, resulting in a PLL algorithm. However, if the corner is not solved, one of 72 algorithms averaging 14 moves and taking as little as 7 can be used to finish the solve.
