Here's a few ideas: For cases that have both pieces already in F2L, try just taking the pieces out (e.g. R U R' U') and solving regularly For instance, R U R' U' R U2 R' U' R U R' for C2 (on Macky's page: http://tinyurl.com/jbt67) M2 can be solved by doing R U2 R' F' U2 F U2 F' U F Also, the case where the edge is flipped and the corner is solved can be solved by doing R U R' U2 R U2 R' U F' U' F
These are slightly longer than algs but I prefer many of them (except the one for M2: I like the F2L alg yU2L2U2LUL'UL2 listed on Macky's page) Hope this helps!

I have a list of the algs, and I have deconstructed them and learned new techniques from them.. however, since they are optimized, there are some cases which are simply not intuitive. > > Has someone made a site which shows exactly how a good cubist would solve difficult cases intuitively? > > I don't want to memorize these algs, so how should I deal with these cases? I can certainly solve them, but it's slow. In some of these cases, I think it might be faster/easier to use the newbie method, solving the corner first and using an 8-move alg to insert the edge.
