Re-learning PLL's!

[Tim Major]

Hi, I've learnt 15 PLLs, and about 20 OLLs, and I've come to a point where sometimes 2-look PLL is actually faster than completing it with one look PLLs that I've learnt. Quite a few of my PLLs take of 4, 5, or even 6 seconds to execute plus 1 second, +-0.5 to recognise, whereas my 2-look PLL algs only take 1.5-3 seconds to execute, and virtually no recog. My main concern is I either learnt PLLs from the Wiki that had the least moves, but very fingertricky movements or from this site
http://www.speedcubing.com/chris/3-permutations.html

This site has some very slow algs, and I really need to learn some new 2-gen algs, or 3-gen that aren't as fingertricky. The problem is, these old PLLs are cemented in my head, and confuse me if I learn a new alg. Any suggestions from other people who had to re-learn PLLs? I did a continuous breakdown average of 5 and it was.

Cross finished by: 2.90
F2l finished by: 20.96
OLL finished by: 23.14
Solve finished by: 29.76

I think I obviously need to re-learn my PLLs, but where to get the best ones, and how to forget my old ones. Thanks!

Cubewhiz is a good site, also cubezone.be

Learning new algs sucks, but it's worth it.

There is no "best" algortihms, just like cubes, it's a matter of preference.
And you don't HAVE TO forget your old algs, I don't think it'll hurt to know more than 1 alg for a case.

Click on the OLL and PLL sections. Lots of good algs. Many for each situation.

Then practice.

go to opticubes.com, then go to cubing section, PLL
There are many algorithms that you can choose..

Honestly, I would say that what's killing you is your F2L, and you should focus on that first. If you want a large variety of OLLs/PLLs, I suggest you use the speedsolving wiki to find the one that you like the most.

I've improved that. I've now normally finished cross and f2l by 17 seconds. I now am (when warmed up) sub 30!

Nice

I'm pretty close, but my f2l is still really bad...T_T

If you just know the LL algorithms, you're fine. The F2L is your time killer or helper-just look ahead. I just became aware of that and on Sunday, I went ballistic with the times you see in my signature. I don't even know F2L tricks.

Thanks, I've seen many help videos, but they all go over look ahead, and tracking pieces, which I think I'm quite good at. I don't have too many pauses, But I did the breakdown again, and my cross is what is letting me down. I cannot perform my cross blindfolded, unless it is an easy case. I need to work on my cross.

Badmephisto.com is where i get ALL my algs. Its awesome.

Recently I also relearned some of my OLLs and PLLs, after reading the book by Dan Harris. In many cases I have more than 1 algorithm to cover more than 1 angle for a single orientation/permutation. Actually it is only recently that I truly complete learning the full Fridrich OLL/PLL suite (missing a few previously).

Initially the new algorithms are slower than the old algorithms but with practice many of them become better. I still screw up here and there and that hurts the avg 100 time (sometimes 50s or 1 min+! :fp).

You just need to practice to recognise and execute.

Blueknight cubing is really good site I love his V perm. Also Youtube is actually a decent place to get pll's I got a number of them there by looking at people's videos where they show their set of pll's. I know theWestonian, Frk1, Thrawst, and LanceTheBlueknight have videos on that.

Thanks, it makes them easy. Pity it's all in colour, including his printable page. I want them in black and white with no shading on the pictures, to save ink.
