1 Handed F-Perm

[pjk]

Can someone make a video of this for me? It takes me around 5 seconds to do, and I want to see if I am executing it incorrectly. Thanks

 

[Pedro]

I think I'm as slow as you using R' U R U' R2 y R' U' R U y' x R U R' U' R2 x' U'

 

[alexc]

I think I'm as slow as you using R' U R U' R2 y R' U' R U y' x R U R' U' R2 x' U'

That's what I do. Not one of my fast ones. The rotations make the moves easier, but they waste time.

 

[Stefan]

Five seconds is pretty good! How do you like these? My record is 4.63 seconds with one of them:

R U R' U' R' U R U2 R' L' U R U' L U' R U' R'
R U R' U' R' U L' U' L R U2 L' U' L U' R U' R'

Of course you can also try their mirrors or inverses, might suit you better.

 

[Pedro]

some nice algs, Stefan...but I don't really like doing L and R moves in the same alg maybe that's the reason my J perm is not that fast...not as Chris Dzoan...

At the US Open Mitchell Stern watched me doing a V perm slowly in two long steps and afterwards showed me an easy LUR alg for it. Also Dan and Chris Dzoan gave me some advice and so thanks to these three guys I became very interested in OH-solving again, learned algs for all OLL and PLL cases (including a few new ones (algs, not cases) I found with ACube), and then practiced for a week or two until I got a sub30 average. Maybe I should compete in this forum's competitions, then you might've known.

are those some of the ones they showed you? do you have more? I think I can get better at OH...but some algs are bad...maybe learning from the best I can do better my times are much inconsistant...I can get a 20.xx and just after a 30.xx or even more...

so...do you have more algs to share with us?

oh, and do you use your pinky or ring? I tried using my pinky, but I would need to change my grip a bit...and I don't like the "pinky-way" of doing R'...

 

[Stefan]

No, these are algs I found myself, using ACube. I showed them to Chris and I think he adopted the first one, getting 4.5 seconds after some practice and estimating sub4 with more practice. Maybe he doesn't like L turns, either. Btw, there are only two in that alg, so stop whining. I seem to be faster with the second alg, though. It's also easier to follow the pieces and remember that alg, I think. Basically you're fooling around with some F2L pairs.

I'll post my other algs tomorrow, though I don't think there are that many.

And I use my ring finger, too, not the pinky.

 

[Pedro]

I'm not whining I didn't say I'm not going to use those...I probably will...maybe the second one...I'm also thinking about using that V one...

 

[pjk]

Those ones seem nice. I will give them a try and see what I can do.

 

[Jack]

I can do around 5 seconds with the old one (mostly 6s though) but using those new ones it takes me around 8-9 seconds. I could probably do them faster with practice, but I think I will stick with the old one for now.

 

[Lofty]

I've not ever timed this alg because I don't like it. I have been trying to write down the one I use with all the cube rotations I use but I keep screwing it up...
M'U2rUlU2L'Ul"R2B2R2U'
Its something like that only that doesn't work... I know Stefan has posted a very similar alg to the one I use only with slightly different double turns and rotations.
I'll try the new ones. But I have a list of 11 algs to learn for my OH I'm sure I'll add a lot from your list too Stefan.
Edit: I average about 6.3 with mine I am definitely switching.
Edit2: I have memorized it and am now more excited about your list! I like OH way too much!
Edit3: 4.96 Avg 4.18 fastest Sub 4 definitely possible.

 

[Stefan]

Today I got 4.34 with my second alg above. Here are the other OH algs I made up myself or was involved in developing, but you might know them already:

E perm made of two OLLs:
x (U' L U R' U' L' U R) (U' L' U R' U' L U R)

Y perm:
R2 U' R' U R U' (x' z') L' U' R U' R' U' L U

An OLL I like because it's easy to remember (follow the CE pair) so I can do it and its mirror from several angles:
R' F R F' R U2 R' d' L' U' L

An OLL I also use two-handed:
R U2 R2 U' R U' R' U2 F R F'

 

[Pedro]

nice, Stefan

I already use your Y for both 2-handed and one-handed

will try the others in a moment...

what do you use for the H perm? I'm currently using L R U2 L' R' y L' R' U2 L R, but I don't like it that much...and M2 U M2...is not easy to do OH...

 

[Stefan]

I use that H perm as well.

 

[Pedro]

hmm...I saw Dan Dzoan doing a really cool one at Worlds...couldn't follow what he was doing but it was really fast...

 

[masterofthebass]

You can use one that Arnaud showed me. It's not too fast, but you can try this anyway.
R2 U2 R U2 R2 U2 R2 U2 R U2 R2. If you can use both index and ring fingers fast, go for it.

 

[hdskull]

Chris taught me a H perm:

f' F' x z U2 L R y' L R U2 L' R' he and i mirrored it off his right hand (i OH left hand)

this is actually the inverse of the alg that you guys use but executed differently. i like how f' F' x z replaces L' R', haha

maybe this is the same alg that Dan uses?

 

[Pedro]

yeah, maybe it is...I just remember him doing some cool moves and cube rotations

 

[Johannes91]

f' F' x z U2 L R y' L R U2 L' R'

How exactly do you do f' F' (like how do you hold the cube and what fingers do you use)?

 

[hdskull]

How exactly do you do f' F' (like how do you hold the cube and what fingers do you use)?

yea I use one of the algs stefan showed me. I avg around 3.5 for the F perm with good execution
