I am in the progress of learning OLL, but am have some problems. I am using The Cube App’s learn page which gives a new oll to learn every day, which I like. The problem is that the graphic to show which oll it is doesn’t show all the sides.😓 I’ve been able to make do but I can’t anymore. The alg for this case doesn’t work, and I looked at cubeskills as well and it also didn’t work..? I feel like a noob, but I’m doing both algs correct and in the right orientation. What am I doing wrong on these algs and do you have a better recommendation for where to learn OLL?

The Cube Skills alg is much better, use that one. If a letter is lower case you move multiple layers at once. So "f" would be moving the F layer and the S layer together. The same applies to, say, "r". "r" means move the right layer and the M' layer together but if it said "l" you would move L and M.

Does anyone have a link to a video for the fingertricks for this V-perm alg

R' U R' U' R D' R' D R' U D' R2 U' R2' D R2
If you're feeling swag (and risky), you can do this alg except with this exec:
(thumb on top) R' U R' U' R D' R' D R3 U D' R2' U' R2 D R2'
It's very difficult though, I have never done it successfully fast.

What is this supposed to be for? Is it just a list of the algs used to set each wb?
Thought it might be fun, it's pretty hard to find these algs in one place. I think most if not all of these are used in the wbs, I know the J, F, U, G, E, H and Z perms for sure use those algs.
Might extend for OLLs and F2Ls as well at some point, though that would take a while.
Edit: for anyone who doesn't know, OO means "objectively optimal" and is used to refer to algs that are very fast, but usually have hard fingertricks that make them mostly unrealistic to use in real solves.

The R3 is pretty easy to do, but I can't do U with my left index ;-;

A quick document I wanted to make, after looking through some videos and watching WBs, the OO PLL alg doc!
link
Most of the algs in your document are the best algorithms for framecount attempts which is what I believe the definition of OO is. I decided to go one step further and compile all of the THEORETICALLY optimal algorithms, not even practical for framecount attempts. Still needs reviewing, because these are from the top of my head.

Could anyone please explain me how do I get to the starting position of any algorithm I’m going to learn? I mean, for example, I want to learn some C-shapes and repeat the algorithm I learn for several times in a row. Of cause I can do some random scrambles and hope that I’ll get this particular C-shape. But those guys who make tutorials just do some turns and get the needed starting point. How to do that? Why nobody explain?
