Is it worth learning all 4x4 PLL algs?

[Bilzebor]

I want to learn pll algs for the parity cases on 4x4, but which ones should I learn? because it seems some of them have a lower probability of coming up.

I don't know how fast you want to be, or how fast people would answer this question, but for me the PLL parity alg that just switches two opposite edges (r2 [slice] U2 r2 Uw2 r2 Uw2) is fast enough, and it's easy enough to recognize that you have PLL parity after OLL that that's all I've bothered with. Occasionally I'll see ahead enough to do that from an angle that forces an easier PLL, but usually I just see that I have parity, fix that, then do PLL.

some people Learn the W and O perms (where all corners are permitted correctly, but not edges). Other than that I don't know anyone who uses the others.

There are some ok ones, but most of them are a waste of time imo.

Here is my page with all cases.

Probably not unless you want to get really fast and feel like it would be a good boost when you get to that speed.

SO basically it's not really something you'd need to worry about until you're really fast.

The diagonal corner case is worth learning as well, since if you just do parity you'll end up with an N-perm. It's F R U' R' U' R U R' F' U' (parity) U' R U R' U' R' F R F'

thanks for the replies, I guess i'll learn the adj, w, o, q and opposite corner, since they're easy to learn

With the standard algs you get a Uperm, not too bad. With those algs you can also just do sexy parity antisexy

Why 3-look when you can 1-look this case easily?

I don't do the u perm stuff, I just have a never ending desire to correct people.

I was talking about the case with the entire LL solved except for the UFR and UBL corners solved - I don't think there's a better way to do it than that alg?
