The Snyder Method was used by Anthony Snyder in the 80's. You start the same way as with Petrus forming a 2x2x2 block that then is expanded to a XCross. (No info on compleation of F2L was found, 3 corner + 3 edges like in LBL probably). For the last layer first edges are solved together with one corner (there is no information on how it was done, 1-look is unthinkable because it has too many cases). Then solving the Last three corners compleates the cube.

Kenneth Gustavsson suggested the same method in 2005 but with VHF2L and the rest in two steps, EP + 1 corner (36 cases) and then L3C (22 cases), (2-look ZBLL).

If you have edges oriented when starting the last layer you can often do using only Sune, double Sune (or inverse and/or mirrors), J-PLL a/b or U-PLL a/b. Here are a couple of examples that show how this is done:

Scramble                            Solution
F U F' L2 B' U' B U L2 F U' F' U ... U-PLL
L' U R U' B2 U' B2 U B2 R' L U'  ... J-PLL
B' F R2 U' R2 U R2 U F' U' B U' ... J-PLL
R2 F2 R2 U R' F2 R U' R2 F2 R U R U ... left side double anti Sune (L' U2 L U...)
R' F U2 F U L' U L F U' F U F R U2 ... left side double anti Sune (again!)
B L2 F' D F' D' F2 L2 B' U' ... y J-PLL (setup L' first for 1LLL)
L U2 L D' B2 D L' U2 L D' B2 D L2 U' ... y2 left antisune
