# '''Solve the remaining corners''' from ''First layer skewb state''.
# '''Solve the opposite center''' from ''Corners + 1 center skewb state''.
# '''Solve the remaining centers''' from ''Corners + 2 opposite centers skewb state''.

=== Intermediate variation ===
# '''Solve the first layer''' from ''Scrambled skewb state''.
# '''Solve the remaining corners and the opposite center''' from ''First layer skewb state''.
# '''Solve the remaining centers''' from ''Corners + 2 opposite centers skewb state''.

# '''Solve the first face''' from ''Scrambled skewb state''.
# '''Solve the corners''' from ''First face skewb state''.
# '''Solve the centers''' from ''Solved corners skewb state''.

== Ranzha's Method ==

# '''Create a Petrus Block''' from ''Scrambled skewb state''.
# '''Create the Welder's Mask''' from ''Petrus Block skewb state''.
# '''Solve the remaining centres''' from ''Welder's Mask skewb state''.
# '''Orient the corners''' from ''1st layer + centers skewb state''.

=== Beginner's variation ===
# '''Match one center with one corner''' from ''Scrambled skewb state''.
# '''Match one more corner''' from ''1 center + 1 adjacent corner skewb state''. (Or '''match one more center''' from ''1 center + 1 adjacent corner skewb state''.)
# '''Match one more center''' from ''1 center + 2 adjacent corners skewb state''. (Or '''position one more corner''' from ''2 adjacent centers + 1 adjacent corner skewb state'' and then '''orient it''' from ''2 adjacent centers + 1 adjacent corner + 1 permuted adjacent corner skewb state''.)
# '''Permuting the corners''' from ''Petrus Block skewb state''.
# '''Orienting the corners''' from ''Petrus Block + permuted corners skewb state''.
# '''Solve the remaining centres''' from ''Welder's Mask skewb state''.
# '''Orient the corners''' from ''1st layer + centers skewb state''.

== Monkeydude1313's Method ==
This is [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5xYFkMllOw Monkeydude1313's method] by [[Chris Bird]]. This method uses only one [[algorithm]].

=== Original Method (called Cyril Castella's Method or Monkeydude1313's Method) ===
# '''Solve the 1st layer''' from ''Scrambled skewb state''.
# '''Place the centers''' from ''1st layer skewb state''.
# '''Solve the remaining corners''' from ''1st layer + centers skewb state''.

=== Cyril Castella's beginner's variation ===
# '''Permute 1st layer corners next to a center''' from ''Scrambled skewb state''.
# '''Orient 1st layer corners''' from ''1 center + 4 permuted adjacent corners skewb state''.
# '''Place the centers''' from ''1st layer skewb state''.
# '''Solve the remaining corners''' from ''1st layer + centers skewb state''.

== Skrouxb Method ==
This is the [http://www.molarmanful.com/skrouxb Skrouxb method] by [[Benjamin Pang]].
# '''Match 1 center and 2 adjacent corners''' from ''Scrambled skewb state''.
# '''Match the opposite center and 2 adjacent corners''' from ''1 Roux Block skewb state''.
# '''Solve the corners of the totally unsolved face by orienting them ''' from ''2 Roux Blocks skewb state''.
