Please note this is NOT meant to be an instructional video!  All of the things I use here I learned from others' videos or the Speedcubing.com forums - which I highly recommend.

Here I am practicing some new methods and algorithms.  These are the basics of the Fridrich with a simpler First 2 Layers (F2L) and 4-Look Last Layer (4LLL).

I'm using the edges-first keyhole method to finish the F2L.

For the LL I started with Cuberight's videos but found some slightly different OLL and PLL algorithms.  They do the same thing but feel more natural for me.

Algs I'm using (see video annotations for when I use them):

Basic edge insertion (edge goes left): U' L' U L U F U' F'
Basic edge insertion (edge goes right): U R U' R' U' F' U F
Making top cross: F (R U R' U') F'
Sune: R U R' U R U2 R'
Antisune: R U2 R' U' R U' R'
CCW A-perm (fix corners): x' R2 D2 (R' U' R) D2 (R' U R')
CCW U-perm (fix edges): M2' U M U2 M' U M2
CW U-perm: M2' U' M U2 U' M2
