F2L - Is there a faster way to do this? / Different Algorithm

[Jakers]

Imagine you've solved the blue side and the first 2 layers except the yellow and red edge piece is backward (red on the yellow side, yellow on the red side).
Apart from doing 2 algorithms, (U R Ui Ri Ui Fi U F), (2U), then (U R Ui Ri Ui Fi U F) again, is there a shorter, easier algorithm?

Thanks.

If I understand you correctly, the then all you should have to do is (red in F) F2 U2 F2 U2 F2. Im gonna need a picture though, because I dont uderstand your question.

How do I add pictures? I'll take one now with my webcam.

Hmm I think he means that the pair is in the slot but the edge is flipped incorrectly, having to take it out and put it back in properly.

I need to know how to sort that too

I understand, everything is in the right place except one edge piece is flipped.
Hold red corner in front.

R U R' U' F U2 F' U2 F U' F'

Oh I get it.

R U' R' d R' U2 R U2 R' U R.
DO that for both. Its really fast.

Didn't work? I think I did it wrong, one sec.

 

[Jakers]

Nope, doesn't work :s

 

[deepSubDiver]

It does for me.

 

[Jakers]

I found R2 U2 (F R2 F' U2) R' U R' which works fine and is quite easy and fast from the thread teller suggested.
Why do we use brackets in the middle?

 

[Edward]

It does for me.

Yay!!!!!!

My alg for this stinks : (R U R' U')x3 R U' R' F' U2 F

I found the site that I get all my f2l algs from.

Those are just suggestions for how to group turns. I think they're a little easier to read, too.

I like (R U R' U')*3(R U' R') Y (L' U L). I know, I are weird.

Opticubes. Always go to Opticubes first.

Thanks very much.
