New E Perm

[isaacthecuber]

I put this in the Algorithm Sticky, but I wanted to make sure a lot of people saw it. I like it a lot, and hopefully you might too.

U' R U R' U R' U' R F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R2 U R

meh. it's not as good for memorization as the original E-perm, and it's much longer. however, it does eliminate the cube rotation....
i use x' [(R U' R') D (R U R')] u2 [(R' U R) D (R' U' R)]

 

[Sa967St]

that is really nice

I like the cube rotation. I don't know why, it just doesn't seem complete without the rotation there and memorization was very easy because of that. Very strange reasoning I know, but it's true.

 

[isaacthecuber]

Yeah, that was my alg, too. I just always hated the rotations. My alg is a bit lengthy, but I like that it's 3-gen.

 

[fanwuq]

Wow! Almost 2gen! I'm going to try this for a few days. Very long alg, but if it's fast, I'll like it.

I really like it. This might end up being the reason for me to not learn to recognize all my COLLs.

I think this alg has potential.
Using the standard RUDu alg, I got 1.89 single, 2.16 average of 12, and 2.6 usual average.
If people can sub-1 the J perm and sub-1.4 the RU Z perm and sub-1.8 the RUF N perms, there's no reason why they can't sub-1.8 this alg.

So far, even turning at very high speed, I could barely sub-3 this alg, but I'm optimistic. I'm determined to at least get a sub-2 single tomorrow.

Wow, that's quite a long algorithm. At 20 moves, it could easily be 1/3 of the total solution!

Yes, I know, but it's a lot nice RU finger tricks. I found by playing around with the J Perm, and you can kind of see that in the alg.

 

[Lucas Garron]

I saw it in the other thread, and I'm probably switching. It's probably slower, but soooo much more comfortable.

I don't like either of the algorithms posted in this thread. EWW

Can you share with us the E-perm you use?

 

[Dene]

Maybe later when I feel like picking up my cube.

 

[Anthony]

I think I'm sticking with x' R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R U' R' D'. This algorithm seems much smoother and like it can be performed faster, but it's just too long. I don't really like the E Perm with the u2 in it either because it feels kind of clumsy.

 

[Hadley4000]

Great for OH. Thanks for posting!

 

[isaacthecuber]

I've been going back and fourth between these algs and as I time my old alg alone it is faster than the new one. However, in full solves, I always screwed up my old E Perms. I think, like Lucas said, I like this one because it feels so much better. I think it's a lot harder to mess up the new alg in a solve because of the fact that it's 3-gen and no rotations.

 

[PeterV]

I use this alg: x U R' U' L U R U' r2 U' R U L U' R' U. This new E-perm feels great compared to my current E-perm (which feels slow and choppy), so I'll give it a try for a few days. It may be a little to long, though.

 

[isaacthecuber]

Ooh, just found something new.

This alg works on the Megaminx as well, for the corresponding E Perm case on the minx. Keep the 2x2x1 block in the front left spot, and do the alg without the AUF.

x' z' U L' U' R U L U' Lw2 U' L U R U' L' U

 

[amostay2004]

Nice alg! It feels like it really has potential..i'm gonna start practising this

 

[Robert-Y]

hmm... I just found this one: z U2 (R2' F R U R' U' R U R' U' R U R' U' F') (R2 U2)

for lefties: z' U2 (L2 F' L' U' L U L' U' L U L' U' L U F) (L2 U2)

There are a few ways to execute the beginning and ending. For the ending, I think some people might prefer to use the same ending in Yu Jeong Min's A perm (for those who know what I'm talking about, sorry to those who don't).
