SZ method - reduce szbll from 493 to 93
Hey so ive been working on this method called SZ method and wanted to share it here
Steps:
1. Horizontal Line + Pair
solve the left and right white bottom edges plus one f2l pair, this frees m slice for the rest of the solve(not to be confused with eoline)
- SZ-F2L
remaining pairs with m slices, this allows to do f2l rotationlessly and efficiently
- EOFLL+
Solve the back bottom white edge and orient last 5 edges, 4 yellow + remaining white edge, can be done intuitively or algorithmically
- SZBLL
main original thing, 6 algs based on sune/anti sune that insert the last white edge AND force t case of zbll at same time, its deterministic not rng trust me
example: U R U R' U R U2 R' U M' U2 M
- T-ZBLL+PLL(lucky chance for pll)
72 t subset zbll cases
total 99 algs with szbll
looking for people who actually want to try szbll or EOFLL+ tbh, I will upload the algs with pictures when this thread gets enough traction
thanks
Varients
SZ-CMLL, instead of EOFLL+ u do cmll and then do roux style eo, and at last insert the last edge and do EPLL(4 algorithms), or do L5E
SZOP - instead of szbll u insert the white edge and do ocll (only 7 cases) and pll(21)
SZBLL + ZBLL vs OCLL + PLL
Okay so I have made a alg set called szbll(setup zbll), that uses 6 algs(with two skips uncounted, one when its already T and to when its an oll skip), it is used to force a T case of zbll reducing it to 72+21(pll), my method(that is currently under progress) have an eo step to orient the U layer edges , my question is should I use szbll+ zbll vs OCLL + PLL, the algs on szbll is stuff like sune , anti sune, t perm with some setup moves or sometimes not even that
okay for some context I am a cfop solver that is sub 20, my pb is 16 seconds and I am interested about APB and nautilus, I did use the most simple version of APB when I was sub 30(averaging 28sec) I was stuck on that time, then I quit APB and gone back to cfop and it started to progress again, I also tried roux and zz but not my taste, should I try APB again with more algs or try nautilus??
