Sune

[dudemanpp]

Why is Sune (R U R' U R U2 R') so special and why is it called Sune and not something else?

 

[gillesvdp]

Sune comes from its "inventor" or "discoverer".

When you have a Sune OLL, some people talk about a "7 move OLL".

And it is one of the fastest 7 sequences of moves you can do.

Sune is the name Lars Petrus gave the algortihm to help himself remember it from the others.

I never found out what those others are ? Nicklas?

 

[gillesvdp]

I know different versions:

- Sune
- Antisune
- Doublesune
- Bruno
- Denzel
- Clix
- Evelyn

And from Lars' page ( http://lar5.com/cube/xMain.html ) :
- Sune
- Antisune
- Rune
- Bruno
- Benny

I guess Lars' page has more chance to be correct than the other one (the author of the other page is a friend of mine. I should ask him where he got these names.)

For me, Sune is special because it is such a simple algorithm ro remember (just do all the R-moves without the U moves and then do all the U moves without the R-moves), because it is extremely fast and because you can use it for both corner orientation and edge permutation. I also use it on MegaMinx and Pyraminx!

 

[dudemanpp]

I was kind of hoping it was referring to Sune from Dungeons and Dragons

I was just wondering. So is there any one specific person in "Cubing History" that came up with this algorithm.

Gilles mentioned that it was the name of the inventor. I've never heard of him.

 

[ExoCorsair]

Lars Petrus? Surely you've heard of the Petrus method...

 

[dudemanpp]

Lars Petrus? Surely you've heard of the Petrus method...

Of course I've heard of the Petrus method. Are you implying that Lars Petrus is the one who "discovered" Sune?

 

[AvGalen]

Yes

Just like Newton discovered gravity

 

[Lt-UnReaL]

Or did he discover how gravity works? We all knew there was some force keeping things bound to the Earth, Newton just discovered how it worked? :O

 

[ChrisD]

I've been naming all my OLL algorithms (to help me remember - I name them after characters in movies I watch while I learn them), and kind of interestingly, the first algorithm I learned was Sune (I named it Johann, from the Monster anime).

I got them from Lars Petrus site
DoubleSune: http://www.lar5.com/cube/xF.html
Brune, Sune, Antisune: http://www.lar5.com/cube/xMain.html
Denzel, Clix, Evelyn: http://www.lar5.com/cube/yMain.html

I use those names to refer to corners orientation, permutation doesn't matter.

And it is one of the fastest 7 sequences of moves you can do.

Several CLS pseudo-Sunes are faster. I've done R'URU2'R'UR in 0.46 (15.2 tps).
I don't think I've broken 0.6 on a regular Sune.

And it is one of the fastest 7 sequences of moves you can do.

Sune: R U' R' U R U2 R'
Anti-Sune: R U2 R' U' R U' R'

I struggle with Sune when it comes to moving from the 3rd move to the 4th (R' U) because of the grip I'm using. I can't think of a better way to do it (I'm right handed).

Instead I prefer use Anti-Sune and incorporate it into other algorithms because I can do it much faster.

It'd be cool to know which algorithm Lars can do the fastest (I can only guess it's Sune based off one video)

---

It's probably worth noting to the OP that parts of Sune can be combined with other parts algorithms to achieve a permutation. For example:
J Perm = Anti-Niklas + Sune
J Perm: (L' U R U' L U2) (R' U R U2 R')
J Perm = Anti-Sune + Niklas
J Perm = (R U2 R' U' R) (U2 L' U R' U' L)
FYI: Executing either J Perm twice (or one of each) will result in the cube being restored to it's original state.

If you're left hand or right hand biased then you might want to translate the algorithms into different face-notations such as on the LUF or RUF faces respectively so that you're not doing any movements that you feel uncomfortable with. Personally I like executing algorithms on the LUR faces and find it difficult to use D and B faces (I usually regrip the cube if I need to do F face movements so that it's L and then regrip after it's executed)... end rant

The Sunes I know:
Sune: R U R' U R U2 R'
Anti-Sune: R U2 R' U' R U' R'
Sunesson: L' U' L U' L' U2 L
Anti-Sunesson: L' U2 L U L' U L
Super-Sune: R U R' U R U' R' U R U2 R'
Super-Sunesson: L' U' L U' L' U L U' L' U2 L
Super-Anti-Sune: R U2 R' U' R U R' U' R U' R'
Super-Anti-Sunesson: L' U2 L U L' U' L U L' U L

 

[Johannes91]

Super-Sune: R U R' U R U' R' U R U2 R'

The more common name is Double-Sune.

Or did he discover how gravity works? We all knew there was some force keeping things bound to the Earth, Newton just discovered how it worked? :O

newton made the three laws of idk: inertia, acceleration, and action and reaction

 

[JLarsen]

Super-Sune: R U R' U R U' R' U R U2 R'

Lol super sune. I use the double sune and double anti sune in my solves.
