@mrawesomemilk Send me a PM with what you specifically need help with, I'll reply as soon as I get on a real computer instead of my ipod haha

I have a lot of troubles getting the corners and corresponding edge pieces to align correctly... and I have a really big headache, and I don't know what I'm doing wrong... any help?

[fallofshadows]

I usually set an edge in the middle layer while I'm turning a corner so it will connect. If that isn't possible, then you will realize that there are a lot of simple moves that will connect blocks. Do R U' R' to a solved cube and you'll see that the corner and edge are seperate, but a simple R turn will connect them. Look for cases like that, and you'll figure it out.

Good idea to use regular OLL/PLL after Petrus F2L. I see how the corner/edge orientation/permutation would really slow you down.

[fallofshadows]

Almost nobody uses that either. The misconception that Petrus is only used with the basic LL annoys me. Petrus himself said that it was only a beginner last layer that he showed on the site. If anything, COLL/EP should be considered the "Petrus Last Layer."
