New "Superman" Algorithm

[Kyle Barry]

I've always thought, how on earth can I take the best part of 4x4, OLL parity, and get it on the 3x3? Well, thank you.

Hi everyone. I just discovered a new algorithm for the "Superman" case. You know, the one that switches the two headlights. It's actually the same as Lucas Garron's 2gen 4x4 parity alg. Here it is:
r U2 x r U2 r U2 r' U2 l U2 r' U2 r U2 r' U2 r' U2
Give me your pros and cons on this.

the alg doesn't even work
it needs an M' at the end

Do the alg on a 3x3x3, you get the headlight OLL
Do it on a 5x5x5 with r as inner slice turn, OLL Parity.

my bad, I was doing r as R >_>

R U2 x R U2 R U2 R' U2 L U2 R' U2 R U2 R' U2 R' U2 (M') also works as a headlights alg for 3x3, but it's a lousy OLL alg

lol imma use it fur CLL. good idea eh?

Ah, Peterbat, I use that algorithm too.
However, I use a rotation and do Y X U2 L2 U' R2 U L2 U' R2 U'

It's also on Erik's Turbo page.

Haha, I deleted my post because for a second I thought the 'superman' algorithm he was talking about was the one with 2 *sets* of headlights. But I see now that I wasn't originally mistaken. Here is my original post:

"I was playing with commutators and found this one a few days ago. It's nice for my fingertrick style, and I do it with the dots in the front:

R2' B2 R F2' R' B2 R F2' R

I grip the R layer with my thumb on top, and that grip never changes.

$0.02"

I'm not surprised it wasn't new
I just didn't see it on the wiki page. (Adding...)

R2 B2 U2 L U2 R' U2 R U2 F2 R F2 L' B2 R2 works too, so any 4x4 OLL parity works.

 

[Lucas Garron]

R2 B2 U2 L U2 R' U2 R U2 F2 R F2 L' B2 R2 works too, so any 4x4 OLL parity works.

Your reasoning is false, and so is your conclusion.

 

[Cyrus C.]

R2 B2 U2 L U2 R' U2 R U2 F2 R F2 L' B2 R2 works too, so any 4x4 OLL parity works.

That algorithm happens to also turn the corners when you do it on a 4x4, try a pure parity algorithm, it will not change anything on the 3x3.

wha?

But isnt the whole point of a secondary algorithm supposed to be an advantage like MORE SPEED or LESS MOVES? No offence but yours doesnt have either. Or are you just mentioning that your algo ALSO works ? best not follow it.

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

I can sub 2 that, and I suck.

 

[rachmaninovian]

I remember having a sub15 solve(hey, i suck at 3x3) using OLL parity as a ZBLL. kekeke. I presume there is a better way to do the ZBLL case then this?

Most definitely:
My alg sucks though:
(Y2) R U R2 U2 B2 D' R' D B2 R2 U2 X' R U2 R2 U2

 

[miniGOINGS]

Let me find a good one...

Much appreciated!

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

I can sub 2 that, and I suck.

I use this too!

 

[Tim Major]

Much appreciated!

For ZBLL? Lol. But for headlights in OLL, I use R2 D' R U2 R' D R U2 R
Noone seems to use this. So many use R2 D R' U2 R D' R' U2 R' Which I find very bad. I can easily sub 2 mine.

Slow but really nice feel

I just found this one:

L U' F U F' L F' L' F2 U' F' L' U' L U L' which I turned into...

y' (F U' R U R' F) (R' F' R2 U' R') y' (R' U' R U R)
