Square-1 Algorithms

[ArcticxWolf]

I've been using algorithms from this site:

http://www.cubezone.be/square1.html

However, I've found that the algorithms on here are very un-fingertrick-friendly, and are often awkward or difficult to execute. However. on square-1 videos, I often see people using different algorithms from what I use for the same thing.

For example, my friend Neo63 uses a lot of algorithms that are inverses (aka executed backwards) from mine, and his times are substantially faster. By substantially faster, I mean, 3 or 4 seconds faster. For example, my U perm + adj algorithms each take me about 6 or 7 seconds to do, even though I have practiced them, but Neo's U + adj is sub 5, and sometimes sub4.

So, the real question is: does anybody have any other good sites with square-1 algorithms on it?

I really like the list here:
http://cube.danrcohen.com/puzzles/sq1.html

They're mostly taken from Lars' site, but they're well-chosen.

I think I love you. I was looking somewhere which picked the best of all the cubezone algorithms becuase there are too many for me.

Yes - I love it because it's essentially a beginner's method, and yet it's fast enough to have once been used to set the WR.

I thought Neil uses the same U-adj as Lars' site ):
I heard that the mf8 forum has good EPs (from Neil )

If you are just going to learn 1 parity alg there are much better choices than the adj parity. Opp - H and H - Opp are pretty good. anyway, I think he's asking for more advanced algs than the ones on Dan's site.

I dunno, I showed him the other day, and he told me he uses the inverse *shrug*.

Apparently, he also uses the inverse of the W Perm on Lars' site (which IMO is weird).

Oh, and

yea. I know almost all of the ones on that site already, but I was looking for CW O perm (I can't get the one on lar's site to work ), and also, some alg with opp parity in it >_>, cause for anything with opp parity, I would either do opp + adj (if its on bottom), or just do adj, then U, which is horribly ineffective, lol.

But the inverse of U-adj is a different U-adj >_>

Yeah, but that U-adj isn't necessarily the inverse.

EDIT: ok that was confusing. What I meant to say was that for the CW U on bottom adj on top, I would do:

/ 3,3 / 5,0 / ....
but the CCW U on bottom adj on top, I would do:
/3,3 / -1,0 / .....
which is not the inverse of the above algorithm^. I think Neil uses the inverse of that^, for CCW U on bottom, adj on top.

opp - h parity: /(-3,-3)/(3,0)/(-3,-3)/(2,0)/(-4,2)/(4,-2)/(1,0)/(-3,-3)/
