The 3-Style Method, short for Freestyle 3-cycles, is an advanced blind-solving method based on the use of 3-cycle algorithms. Each 3-cycle solves two pieces starting from a fixed buffer location. It is faster then 3OP because it combines the orientation and permutation of the pieces, while it is faster than M2/Classic_Pochmann because it solves 2 pieces at a time. 3-Style can be used for solving any sized cube blindfolded.
There are multiple ways to choose the algorithms for each 3-cycle. The BH method selects the move optimal algorithm for each case, with an intuitive interpretation, but it can be faster to use longer algorithms for certain cases.
