8355 : An intuitive method to solve a Rubik's cube !

8355 is an intuitive method to solve a Rubik's cube, especially for beginners! You don't have to memorize many algorithms with it. This method is invented by 許技江 (Hsu, Chi-Chiang) from Taiwan. He invented this method for teaching purpose, and unlike LBL or CFOP which takes many moves in order to achieve a (bigger) objective, the objectives in 8355 are set piece by piece and less moves / efforts are needed, so a player can solve by thinking.

In my opinion 8355 is a great beginner's method, probably better than LBL in some scenario. It requires some spatial concept, but without the need to memorize long sequences of steps. Therefore 8355 makes a Rubik's cube more like a puzzle. It is not a speeding method such as CFOP or Roux, but it is definitely fun to learn.
