The "Request an Alg" Thread

I would recommend x' R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R U' R' D'

I use that. Thanks.

Guys, remember OLL 24? i use this: y' x' R U R' D R U' R' D' x.

r U R’ U’ r’ F R F’ is way better. It’s just sexy-sledge with a couple wide moves.

Yeah it's better.

Guys, Remeber the 4 spots pattern? Well, i have this alg to make it: M2 E M2 E'

Please stop using the same format of message for very common algs. Yes, almost all of us know these algs, no we don't need an alg for them.

I want to learn full oll but I want to get it right the first time and learn the best algs. BTW I need to be able to print them.

Speedcubedb has the best imo

algdb.net got 4365374251436876487365 algs

These are conflicting goals. You won't know which alg is the best for you unless you try multiple.

The posts above already have links to very good starting points (SCDB, AlgDb, CubeSkills, etc. etc.). It's perfectly fine to stick to the algs those sources give you, and later on replace the ones you like least.

A lot of these algs are the same as my gan pamphlet.

Does anyone have good Squan U Perms (every kind, single, good and bad) from different angles?

 

[Shrek]

I would recommend x' R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R U' R' D'

I have an oll alg very similar to that pll alg, if you are good at that I think this alg would be good for you: x' R U R' D R U' R' D' and it is for this case: and you have to hold the edge which is sticking out in the front

 

[Cuberinacuber]

For H Perm I use M2' U' M2' U2' M2' U' M2'

Are there edges only pll algs with no M moves like the H perm?

What do you mean by "no M moves"? Does L2 R2 D L2 R2 U2 L2 R2 D L2 R2 count as no M moves? Why don't you want M moves?

Anyway, here's some FTM optimal algs for the edge PLLs:
U perms: R2 U S' U2 S U R2 and R2 U' S' U2 S U' R2
H perm: R2 S2 R2 U R2 S2 R2
Z perm: R2 S2 R2 S2 U' S2 U' S2

Why don't you want M moves?

Apologies for the ambiguity - I meant that I wanted M' instead of M as it is more comfortable for me like my H perm alg

M' U' M2 U' M2 U' M' U2 M2 is a good Z Permp
Both U Perms MU gen form the back have M' moves and not M moves

The actual solution would be to practise the algs hard enough until you get good at the M moves. There's no good alg for the U perms that uses M' and M2 but not M. Like, technically, you could replace the M moves with M3', but that's probably defeating the purpose.

(There's also M2 u M' u2 M' u M2 but it's very weird.)

You can also try the RU or RUS algs if the MU ones really don't cut it for you.
Ucw: R2 U R U R' U' R' U' R' U R'; R' U R' U' R' U' R' U R U R2; R2 U' S R2 S' R2 U R2
Uccw: R U' R U R U R U' R' U' R2; R2 U' R' U' R U R U R U' R; R U R' U R' U' R2 U' R' U R' U R

Z perm's new hot alg uses M and M2' moves, but you could just as well do M' and M2' moves instead. (See LukasCubes' post above.)
