Recognising PLLs

[ilikecubing]

I have a hard time recognizing PLL cases,need suggestions of a cubing site where it has been made easy to recognize PLL cases and easy algorithms are given for those cases.

Practice and your recognition will get better. You make it sound like there is some magical solution.

Even though it doesn't sound like much help, I would listen to Nike and "just do it".

I'm learning plls too. I started here:

and lately I've been using this for Gs:

Here are a couple other resources:

Stachu's PLL recognition guide. This is one of the best guides you'll find floating around. This will help you learn PLL recognition from any two sides of the cube. Look for badmephisto's guide on YouTube (he has an excellent R and G perm recognition tutorial).

Dude.

Hit youtube and search "PLL Recognition"

Count the hits you get and that's how many times you just failed. I recommend you watch badmephistos PLL recognition video.

I want a 2 side guide (yay rhyme) with normal colour scheme!

 

[freshcuber]

I'm pretty sure there's one on the wiki

That's how I recognise it too. Is it common to do it like that?

I don't know of any other good way to do it.

You can recognize a lot of the PLLs purely by the shape of the solved pieces (Js, T, Rs, Y, F, etc); just find the differences between them and learn to look for those shapes. Practice a ton. I had a lot of trouble with PLL recognition a month or two ago (especially stuff like Rs and Gs), and they've gotten a lot easier just by practicing.

Check this guide out, http://kungfoomanchu.com/guides/andy-klise-pll-recognition.pdf

It is currently in draft state so I would like to know what you think of it

I don't know of any other good way to do it.

Huh, I actually use the mirror of this. I prefer to execute them with my left hand for some reason (I'm right handed).

If you do R U R' y' R2 u' R U' R' U R' u R2 to setup.
I see the block is UB UBR, then I look at UR. I see it isn't opposite. That's how I recognise.

Tomorrow evening, I'll publish a redo of the guide, with a normal color scheme and some updates.

 

[joey]

I'm glad you saw that post, it was aimed at you.

Of course it was.

I do my scheme, though.

ii shall be looking at that..perhaps that'll get me a second off my time if i have 2 face recognition

 

[joey]

Lol it won't get 1s off your time.

umm well not really magic....i don't mind memorisin algorithms no matter how long they are.Just need a source which gives a clear representation of the PLL case
