So, this is how I do cubeshape. First off, do NOT go and learn all these algorithms. That’s not how it works. This page is missing a lot of mirrors that you would be unable to do. Look at how I orient the layers and what shape the first twist leads to. If you’re having trouble figuring out a mirror, let me know. I’ll be glad to help you out.
I know some of these algs are suboptimal. In every case this happens, it’s a better fingertrick than the optimal version. Most of my suboptimal algs go through paw-paw. I do an extra move that essentially takes two right fists and turns them into two left fists. It makes for a very fast 2gen alg. Try it.
So, without further ado, I give you…a big table of algs.
