That's a very neat way of explaining how to approach and understand parities in general. Thank you for uploading this, it's like a general guide to puzzle parity. I will put this in my favorites list and come back to it as soon as I hit a parity situation.
Yeah it would be really simple cycling around pairs of centers instead of individual centers. A helicopter cube edge turn combined with a 3x3x3 center 180 degree rotation would allow for a commutator that resolves this situation very easily. I don't know why I didn't think of that when I was making the video. The main point of the video was to show the analysis more than it was to show the specific exact position on the screen.

Great analysis!
I know I'm quite late to the Party, but for the swap at the end, isn't (helicopter move - 180° Center) more intuitive?

Do you know where I can learn the more basic aspects of twisty puzzle solving, such as what orbits are, and what an odd or even move is
Where to buy this puzzle? Thanks... :)
