Hello all!

As the title suggests, i will be starting a new forum for sharing your personal favourite algorithm.
i really hope we can learn together using these algs and share them.
Plesae state the name (if there is) and alg.

i will start first: Sune R U R' U R U2 R'
NOTE: These algs do not have to be limited to CFOP, you may use any method you like
 
Adjacent 2-flip H case from ELL: F U R U2 R' F' U' r' F2 r. It has unusual fingertricks, but it's pretty fast. F as an index pinch and U with the middle finger. Then the second half of the alg is the mirror image of the first half, which is also odd and interesting.
 
I really like the standard F perm algorithm, but JB, T, and Y perms are also fun.

The RUS U perm is also a favourite but I don't use it in solves because the fingertricks are impractical (especially on big cubes)
 
  • R2 U R2 S R2 S' U' R2 (Ub-perm)
  • R U R' U' M' U2 R' U' R2 U' r' U R' U R (ELL)
I think these are my favourite algs. If I had to choose one of them, it would be the ELL. It's so fluent but still has intuitive fingertricks.
 
How is that no one mentioned the sexy move, the building block of many wonderful algorithms, as well as an entire family of solving methods (sexy/SAM/8355):
R U R' U'.
