ELCUP is a method invented by Matilda Teixeira aka Matilda-Cruzzader. This method was inspired by Waterman, ZZ, ECP, Roux.

Steps

1. EO: Edges are oriented
2. Waterman Layer: This consists of making the D layer but minus the DF edge.
3. COES: Orient corners while putting E Layer edges in the E Layer. Make sure to never have an E Layer edge in DF.
4. PUDL: Permute U and D Layers.
5. PEL: Permute E Layer

Pros

• Movecount is close to the big 3.
• Has a lot of potential for variants.

Cons

• The Edge Orientation step may be hard to get used to for beginners.
