Nice VH alg

[Kenneth]

Case is: no LL edges oriented, pair at UF-RUF

Do: r U r' U2 M' U M

It is based on the fast three cycle LL edges: M' U M U2 M' U M but I think this is even easier to do

That's a nice alg. I use the following for that case:

L F L' U2 L R' F R L'

It's one of my favorite cases with no edges oriented. Actually I think it is the same alg you posted, just fingertricked differently.

Yea, I use the same alg Jason does for that case. Well... actually i never memorized an alg for that case it is pretty much the same as the mirror to the alg I use.

anyone has a link to where to learn VH? i cant seem to find any =( there seems to be only ZB

That's a nice alg. I use the following for that case:

L F L' U2 L R' F R L'

You know, it's exactly the same algorithm

in cubestation, the page under construction =(

VH is just the basic cases of ZBF2L (where the pair is just R U R', R U' R', etc), so you can learn it from any ZBF2L page. Chris Hardwick, Lars Vandenbergh, Zbigniew Zborowski, and Bob Burton all have nice algs for the VH part of ZBF2L. Once you know these algs, the actual method is to break up/pair up your final F2L pair and use one of those algs. The LL is just COLL/PLL.

In my opinion, VH is really only worth learning if you are using it as a substep while learning ZBF2L, or unless your COLL is really good.

Yep, Jasons alg is the same as mine =)

Here is an other one, one LL edge oriented (LU), almost the same turns used for this one:

r U' M U2 (R' M') U' M

I think of the (R' M') as one turn, done as a Ra' but using M instead of L. Maybe it should be noted as ra' ?
