Any better alg's for...

[TEGTaylor]

So I've been looking around and it seems that there are a lot of random threads asking for a better alg for this pll or oll. I thought I would try to localize them to this thread. So post an alg you hate and others post an alternative, be sure to post the alg you already know so you don't get the same alg 50 times.

To start does any one know a better one for the oll case where all edges are oriented, you have one pair of headlights but two opposite edges also, I use R U2' R2' U' R2 U' R2' U2 R

ps. I think this is in the right place on the forum right?

That algorithm is super fast. o_o

I have 39 alternatives, none of which are faster.
I also have lots and lots of algs I hate, but too lazy to sift through for them.

EDIT: You average 50 seconds "ZBing"?
I didn't know you were a ZBer.

Hi, there is already a thread for algorithms here > http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?t=708

And there's also the wiki.

And btw, it's 'Petrus' not 'Peterus'

also that alg is proabably the best and fastest for that case

U2 L U’ R’ U L’ U R U R’ U R

F R2 U’ R U’ R U’ R’ U2 R’ U R2 F’

That's an awesome algorithm and super fast. Anyone have a link to a video of the "Air Jeff" execution for him? I can sub 2 it, and I'm not blazingly fast.

That algorithm is so fast! How could you not like it? I do know of f R U R' U' f' F R U R' U' F' , but I don't really like that. I would recommend practicing the one you use, because it can get really fast over time.

Thats a typo sorry

Do you mean ZZing?

I've gotten 0.84 with L' U2 L2 U L2 U L2 U2 L'

Are you left handed?

Are you left handed?

Well I am but I use: R U2' R2' U' R2 U' R2' U2' R

It's probably of the U' moves which makes it faster than the lefty alg for me.

I'm a righty, and I think my alg is faster for me for the same reason as Robert's, and because U2 is very fast when doing it lefty.

I agree. I'm also a lefty. Got 1.10 on this and I'm HORRIBLE at doing algs at crazy speeds like some of you guys.

Wait, is it the "superman" algorithm he's asking for?

 

[rubiknewbie]

My biggest problem with edge-oriented cases is OLL 23 headlights which I use y2 R2 D R' U2 R D' R' U2 R'. Time to change algorithm and watch some videos .

The other OLLs are ok.

Edit: On 2nd thought I just changed the placement of my hand and it feels better now. Now seriously considering learning VHF2L or something.

for the headlights i use....(R U R' U) (R U2 R2 U') (R U' R' U2 R) its very fast for me, IMO better than the R2 D' R' U2 R D' R' U2 R'

R2 D' R U2 R' D' R U2 R

This is a very fast alg for me. It's one of my faster.

My fastest alg IMO is R' U2 R F U' R' U' R U F'

Just got a 1.2, ehh.
