B2 (Briggs2) Method

B2 method Information about the method Proposer(s): Joseph Briggs (Shadowslice e) Proposed: 2015 Alt Names: Briggs2 Variants: No. Steps: 3 major, 5 minor No. Algs: 54 (full), <10 min Avg Moves: <45 Purpose(s): Speedsolving FMC

A CP (corner permutation) first method created by Shadowslice 2015. It is a variation or improvement on the original Briggs method. It is a low movecount but very complex steps (a common feature of CP first methods at the time of creation unfortunately).

Steps

1. Correct CP and solve F2B-1 (variety of ways: see CP (corner permutation) First)
2. Create a pair and execute BLS to solve LS+ last layer corners while forcing a 4-flip Eo case.
3. LSE

Pros

• Low movecount (45-)
• Good lookahead
• Low alg count (54)
• Ergonomic (mostly <R,U,Rw,M>)

Cons

• Complex first step (as with all my CP first methods unfortunately)
