Bagua Cube Tutorial Part 1: Return to the unbandaged cubic shape

Here we begin our journey through this very challenging and entertaining puzzle. Algorithms: Corner/edge swap: R2 U R2 Ui R2 Outer edge 3 cycle: R2 U+ R2 D- R2 U+ R2 U- R2 U- D+ R2 Part 2: Edge reduction to the last layer:    • Bagua Cube Tutorial Part 2:  Reducing the ...   Part 3: Dealing with Parity:    • Bagua Cube Tutorial Part 3:  Dealing with ...   Part 4: Finishing the final layer:    • Bagua part 4:  The Final Layer!   Evaluation index based on the top 10 videos on the hardest, most complex, and favorites: Complexity score: (a) Multiplicity -- High based on the sequential nature of the solve (b) Transformation --Moderate as is not a cubic transformation, but has an 8 axis system inside a 6 axis puzzle (c) Over the top -- low as is not a high order puzzle Difficulty: (a) Bandanging -- Moderate as present while shapeshifted only (b) Ghosting -- not applicable (c) Hybrids -- moderate as has an 8 axis system in a 6 axis puzzle Favorites: (a) Playability --Very smooth when lubricated, and portable (b) Variability -- Moderate, as although different algorithms can be used, it's basically solved the same way (c) Unpredictability -- High due to the presence of parity and many different configurations of the last layer.
