'''Slice Fransisco''' is a [[Rubik's cube]] method invented by Reddit user [https://www.reddit.com/user/SciK3 SciK3] and was named by Reddit user BanditTrain. The method uses aspects of the [[Roux method]], [[Belt]], and [[SSC]]. The method involves solving the E slice minus the F and B centers, creating two "bars" on the left and right sides, followed by solving the corners in a certain way that creates two 1x2x3 blocks that Roux solvers are used too. From that point on, the method involves solving like you would in the Roux method. It was created in the span of 3 days, first as a variation of the Belt method, eventually evolving into the current method you see today. The method only requires the J perm and [[Sune]], but knowing the Y perm, T perm, and [[OLL]]'s #21 through #27 will make it a lot easier.

==Steps==

1. Solve the E slice minus the F and B centers.

2. Orienting corners
2a Orient 2 adjacent corners (Oriented corner = U or D color facing U or D) and place in FDL and BDL.
2b Orient 2 more adjacent corners and place in FDR and BDR
2b Solve OLL on U

3. Orient remaining edges using [[Last Six Edges]] style [[EO]] (May contain EO cases that dont exist in normal Last Six Edges, such as double cross or double L, can be cycled by doing M U M)

4. Permuting corners
4a Match corners by color using R2, U, and D, placing the D color corners on U (i.e. if solving white on top, place yellow corners on top)
4b Perm U corners and UL and UR edges and then do R2 D2 U2 R2 D2 to place them on D (Notice that this creates the 1x2x3 blocks on L and R, similiar to the Roux method)
4c Perm new U corners and new UL and UR edges like in the previous step

5. Solve M slice using M and U moves

==Pros==

*Extremely intuitive, only requiring 2 algs to be able to solve using this method
*Less block building compared to Roux, making it more appealing to beginners
*After creating the two E slice bars, the puzzle only requires R2, D, U, and M moves to solve.

==Cons==

*M slice moves may turn beginners away, as they are not common in beginner methods like [LBL]
*Since the M-slice is used often, there is a larger chance of a [[DNF]] rather than a [[+2]].
*The M-slice becomes increasingly difficult with higher [[order]] puzzles like the [[7x7x7]], [[6x6x6]], or other [[big cubes]]'
