SLS (Shadowslice Last Slot)

This is a substep/algorithm set primarily used with SSC (Shadowslice Snow Columns) though it may be useful for some 2x2 methods such as VOP or Ortega and has some applications in FMC. On a 3x3, it orients the corners in the last layer and the FR corner while placing the FR edge. The name, Shadowslice Last Slot may be something of a misnomer when it is applied to 3x3 as it not a pure last slot method as it does not place a final pair or finish F2L but merely places the final edge and orients the last 5 corners. It may even destroy the F2L in many cases but has a much lower movecount as a result.

Pros

• low movecount
• relatively small alg set.

Cons

• fairly specialised algorithm set so not much transferability though only really on 3x3.
