Excellent Quality Beginner Videos
So, I just used this series of YouTube videos to learn a(n) LBL method. The video's are of excellent quality but only have an average of about 60 views each. To me it seems that these videos should be the de-facto series for beginners to watch.
However, I have a few questions about the method that they teach.
First off, if you don't want to watch the videos, this is the method:
------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Intuitive FL Cross
2. Intuitive FL Corners, using insertion
3. 2L Edges using U R U' R' U' F' U F / U' L' U L U F U' F'
4. Simplified 2-look OLL (at most a 4-look OLL)
Cross
Corners
Here's my main question. I discovered on my own how to do U-Perm-b by mirroring this U-Perm-a alg to y2 L' U L' U' L' U' L' U L U L2. I don't see U-Perm-b written this way on the PLL Wiki. Why is this? Is this a slow way of doing U-Perm-b? Is it a bad way for finger tricks?
After using this series I have a sub 1:30 avg after 1 week of cubing.
This is my first time using cubing terminology, so drill me if I sound like a noob :3

Btw, does both reflecting and mirroring an alg always produce the same result? (or does this only work for corner algs or something?)
