G perm

[Jammaers]

Hi, i know full PLL except the G perms, are they really worth learning them or should i just do A perm and then U perm?

They are definitely worth learning: they're the most common PLLs. You'll get a G perm in over a fifth of your solves (unless you know some OLLCP). They're also not that bad. They're better than N/V/F perms.

Ok, thank you i'll start learning the G-perms

They are not too bad. It's really just one alg mirrored and reversed. Here is my video

ok thank you for the video

4/21 chance, 19%. Not quite one fifth. Good video nonetheless, but I feel like everyone that says "it's just the same alg 4 times" is being a little inefficient. There's a reason most people these days don't just do Jb with their left hand to do Ja, right? There are more efficient G perms you can use if you learn them as 4 separate Algs, so just doing the mirror and inverse might put someone in a bad habit.

i do J (b) with my left hand and lots of other algs with my left hand like U (b), my left hand is as fast as my right hand is that a bad habit?

Actually the odds are 2/9, because PLLs with rotational symmetry are less common than those without. Since G-perms have no rotational symmetry, they have a 1/18 chance of occurring, and since there are 4 different G perms...

I'm sure TDM knows this but was just rounding it off.

Not a bad habit at all. I would say a bad habit is people who only stick to right handed algs and don't ever build up heir left hand.
