Robert's OH algorithm discoveries

V perms: (I think the top two are the best so far...)

L' U2 L D' L' U L' U L' U' L2 D' L U L' D2
R U2 R' D R U' R U' R U R2 D R' U' R D2

L' U L D' L2 U' L' U L' U L' D' L U2 L' D2
R U' R' D R2 U R U' R U' R D R' U2 R D2

Righties:

(L' U2 z) (U L' z') (L' U L' U L' U' L2' z) (L' U z') (U L' z) L2' or (U L' u2) for the last 3 moves
(z' U L2' z') (L' U z) (U L' U L' U L U2 z') (U L' z) (L' U z') U2 or (L' U l2') for the last 3 moves

Lefties:

(R U2' z') (U' R z) (R U' R U' R U R2 z') (R U' z) (U' R z') R2 or (U' R u2') for the last 3 moves
(z U' R2 z) (R U' z') (U' R U' R U' R' U2' z) (U' R z') (R U' z) U2' or (R U' r2) for the last 3 moves

Enjoy :)

EDIT: @Whauk: Nah, I use cube explorer 5 :)

Could a mod please change the title to: "Robert's OH algorithm discoveries" thanks in advance...

EDIT2: Actually I think the V perms I found look nice but maybe aren't as fast as the standard LUR algs...

OLL 21 (I found this a while ago, and I put it on the OLL Wiki page):
y (R' U R U) (R' U R U') (R' U R U') R' U' R U2 R' U R
Seems useless, but it actually can be executed fairly quickly.
 
How do I own a Y perm? I stole mine from one of the Japanese cuber's youtube account years ago.
anyway, these algs have been found many times by many people. I'm sticking to the standard algs. There are also some other/better nonstandard algs out there, I've just forgotten them.

It's too long considering there are awesome algorithms for that EO case that are also 2-gen.
 
It's probably slower than this:


:p

Edit: Added bad N perm algs...

I think that is the fastest algorithm for H case. Believe it or not I still have problem in recognition to decide whether to use this or other algorithms, especially after I learn COLL.

Cos in another angle R U R' U R U' R' U R U2' R' is another nice one.

For E and T perm I use Robert's algorithms.

Y, N and V I use standard algorithms used by Lofty. Y seems ok, N and V I may check out the new ones!
 
Added OLL 28:

x' R U' R U2' L' U L U2 R2 x
x' L' U L' U2 R U' R' U2' L2 x

These algs are surprisingly not on the wiki but are very easy to find with CE5.

I would learn both to avoid an opposite corner swap for PLL.
 
F perm:

Righties:
x (u2 L’ U L) D2’ (L’ U2) z’(U2 L’ U L U L’ U L2’ u)
x (l2’ U L’ U’) R2 (U L2’) z (L2’ U L’ U’ L’ U L’ U2 l’)

Lefties:
x (u2’ R U’ R’) D2 (R U2’) z (U2’ R U’ R’ U’ R U’ R2 u’)
x (r2 U’ R U) L2’ (U’ R2) z’ (R2 U’ R U R U’ R U2’ r)

I think the second one might be better because you can AUF afterwards.

EDIT: :s I cannot even get sub-4 yet...

lol i was learning the V perm and did first few moves over and over "(R U2' z') (U' R z)" after like 10 times i got an upside down H perm xD
 
Hmm..you've inspired me to make my own OH algs :P. I came up with this for one of the N perm...(R' U'2 R' U) z' (R U'2 R' U' R U'2) z (U' R U'2) z (R' U)..I like it until the last 2 moves. Maybe...(R' U'2 R' U) z' (R U'2 R' U' R U'2) z (U' R) z' (R') z (U'2 R) This one is my favourite.

Or maybe..z (U' R2 U' R) z (U R2 U' R' U) z' (U'2 R' U R2) z (U' R) but I like this less.

Lol I'm too indecisive

Hmm, here's the other one (R U'2 R U') z' (R' U'2 R U R' U'2) z (U R' U'2) z' (R U') o;
