You're very welcome. My plan is to come up with 2x2 specific algs, but it's not a high priority for me. You can save a number of moves by using new algs though.

do you mean that there are not already 2x2 specific algs or do you mean that you plan to learn them? and can you help me with an e perm?

Well there are, I'm just going to use a specific set of perameters that I prefer. If you look in the Wiki, each CxLL case has multiple algorithms to choose from, and some are specifically for 2x2 CLL.

Also, I'm probably not the one to ask about E perms since I use the Roux method. I would just check through the E perm page on the Wiki for an alg that you like.

if roux is not as fast then why do you use it (out of curiosity)

for e perm im going to use x (R U' R') D (R U R') u2 (R' U R) D (R' U' R)

what is 2x2 antiCLL? how is it diff. from pure CLL?

who said its not?

 

[miniGOINGS]

Because it provides a couple of things that I like; practically no rotations and a set of restricted movegroups for each step.

AntiCLL solves EG2. It does CLL while diagonally swapping the corners on the bottom. It is usually done by combining the opposite CLL alg with R2 F2 R2.

what is a good e perm to use. thee are too many to choose from on the wiki.

I always liked z U2 R2 F (R U R' U') (R U R' U') (R U R' U') F' R2 U2 z'
Not the shortest algorithm or probably even the fastest but very easy to remember

Learning an alg because it's ray to remember is terrible logic. Learn the fastest alg you can find because it helps you get faster. I have to relearn PLLs because I was lazy and didn't find good ones the first time around.

@sa11297
Here is what I think most people would agree is the best E perm: x' R U' R' D R U R' D' R U R' D R U' R' D'
Here's how I execute it:
The x' and R together as an l move.
For the first three D moves, I use my left ring finger.
Instead of the last two moves R' D', I do l' F'. I do the F' with my left thumb pushing down on the UFL sticker.

Hope this helps.

thats what i was thinking. otherwise why learn full pll in the first place? (but the alg is cool to perform)

julian that helped a lot thanx. im going to use that.

Should I use lube or no lube when im going to break in a puzzle?

With lube. You can do it without, but saves me from having to lube it later.

what v-perm do you use? I'm trying to find a fast one.

I want to buy the MF8 ball core square 1, along with the YJ crazy foot cube.
I want to get them from the same site, so the best choice right now is lightake. They have the Foot cube, but I don't know which square 1 is the ball core one, or if they even have it. Help?

Well Breandan uses this one R' U R' d' R' F' R2 U' R' U R' F R F, and I think lots of people agree that it's probably the fastest.
I found it really awkward at first but once I got the hang of the fingering I found it flows really nicely (but I can't do that middle finger F that Breandan does without losing control of the cube).

Where to buy black v-cubes outside of the official site?
