Whats the general consensus on S and As ZBLL cases, considering the Algs for the OLLs are sub 0.4able. I have no doubt about T/U/PI etc. These cases are FABULOUS. But I am questioning ZBLL for S and As. What do the pros say about this? Do you find yourself using ZBLLs for S/As?

I do use them or at the least the COLLs which are more useful than just doing OLL/PLL.

Some of my thoughts on ZBLL memorisation.
So A large problem I had for mass memorisation of ZBLL is how to do it in a shorter time.
My current solution is Breaking an algorithm into chunks, like Sexy, RUR'U which I call sausage (don't ask why). then I create an image of each part which I have organised into Mental rooms by COLL case. So one room has 12 algorithms converted into 12 images. I have done 12 algs in like 1 hour with this method. It takes time to convert the Alg into a good image but Its worth it.

Eventually you don't need the room any more and the entire alg is muscle memory purely and Recognised by colour blocks. I intend to learn the rest of the U set purely by this method as fast as possible. I wish I Had more time for ZBLL but exams are in 4 weeks ARGGGH

Where can I find the last slot algs for phasing?( the algs that permute two corners while inserting the last f2l pair).
Thanks:p

a) That's not what phasing does, phasing permutes opposite edges (so they might not be correctly permuted, but opposite colors are across from each other.
b) R U' R', R U2 R', and R U R' U' R U' R' should be all the inserts you need.

good afternoon peeps
Does anyone have a good Alg for the ZBLL with the U COLL case with 2 horizontal solid colour blocks , edge cycle O/O? (waves at bindedsa) I have looked everywhere imaginable and no nice algs exist

would be cool if you explained better what alg you mean or just post a picture. considering you said there are no nice algs, i suppose it's not

R U' R' U R U' L U L' U x' U2 R U2 R2

right?

Which case do you mean? Can you provided images or a set up alg. BTW, I sometimes miss posts in this thread, so if you want to see if I have a good alg for a case just message me.

Oh:
Ah yes, http://algdb.net/Set/ZBLL U number 36 on the list. also congrats on nearly full ZZLL!

Ahh thats perfect. I wish we could like download you into an encyclopaedia or something haha. But srsly how did you get all these good algs? is there are way to generate them yourself?

E: thanks Brest, Where exactly did you get all those alternatives from?
