New system for naming ZBLL's

[ruffleduck]

I would like to propose a better system for naming ZBLL's. It's based off the twisty PLL recognition technique.

First, we need a standard angle for each OCLL and PLL.

For OCLL, I'll just follow speedcubedb.com's standards.



For PLL, For all adjacent corner swap PLLs, I think it's best to have the standard angles be headlights on left for consistency. For EPLL's and diagonal corner swap PLL's I will follow speedcubedb.com's standards.



OK now we can name all ZBLL's.

Let's call the number of U turns required from standard PLL angle when you untwist the corners from standard OCLL angle, u.

Every ZBLL can now be named as:
<insert OCLL> <insert PLL you get when corners are untwisted> <insert u (only necessary if the PLL isn't symmetric)>

examples

name using my system: T Na



name using my system: L Ab3



name using my system: U Ga0

I like the numbers but you do have a point

Yes. My system makes it easy to refer to various ZBLL's without having to look up the names.

Here's my ZBLL sheet which is organized using this naming system. (currently unfinished)

for the second one you mean L Ab1?

also you said the number means how many U turns to get to the standard angle but all of them are the amount of U turns from the standard angle?

Oops! It's actually L Ab3. I fixed it

Fixed

What would you call a ZBLL that is just a pure corner flip? U72, for example.

Thanks for pointing that out, I forgot to mention that in my post. Solved PLL is called "O".
So U72 would be called U O

Interesting system, based on the PLLs that we know.

 

[CubeRed]

This seems interesting and easy to recognize. It will be good for new learners or planning-to-learners, like me!

aw i thought it was that the fact its the amount of U turns to the standard angle as it makes more sense in a pll context

I was just looking thru speedcubedb and noticed ZBLL U1 is just a U with an Ra perm underneath it, U2 is Rb, etc. Glad i found this thread, hoping it will make memorizing much easier.
