Advanced Techniques
If you've already mastered CFOP (F2L, OLL, and PLL) and are looking to get faster, this is the right place. Here you can get tips on learning specialized last slot cases and last layer algorithms that will solve multiple steps simultaneously.
Last Slot Cases

VHLSVandenbergh-Harris Last Slot (VHLS) is a techqnique for solving the last F2L pair and orienting the last layer edges when you already have a connected or separated F2L pair. This gives you a 1/27 chance for an OLL skip and allows you to do advanced LL techniques such as COLL or ZBLL. There are 32 cases in this set. |

ZBLSZoborowski-Bruchem Last Slot (ZBLS) is a techqnique for solving thelast F2L pair and orienting the last layer edges when you already any F2L pair. This gives you a 1/27 chance for an OLL skip and allows you to do advanced LL techniques such as COLL or ZBLL. There are 306 cases in this set. However, I am providing only an incomplete list of cases that I felt were worth learning for now. |

WVWinter Variation (WV) is a technique for solving the last F2L pair and orienting the last layer corners when you already have all edges oriented and a connected pair. This will give you an automatic OLL skip. There are 27 cases in this set. |
Last Layer Cases

COLLCOLL is a technique for orienting the last layer corners when the last layer edges are already oriented while also permuting them. This gives the benefit of ending with an EPLL and in 1 of 12 solves getting a PLL skip. There are 40 cases in this set. I also have a page that describes how to Recognize CxLL cases. |
