What algorithm could I use instead of F (R U R' U') F'?

[Hershey]

better than
inserting the pair,
doing a dot OLL,
than PLL

those "5 extra moves" makes move count lower, and you have a better OLL

 

[RyanReese09]

Some dot OLLs are pretty fast, not that much slower...

 

[Hershey]

Really? I thought most people hate dot OLLs

Really? I thought most people hate dot OLLs

I can only speak for myself. I love doing them even now. I recall when I was using a 2 oll , I became frustrated that the dot olls cost me an additional 3 seconds ( back then, I was far slower than I am now). So I learned them , and they became 1 olls and I'd shed 3 seconds ( back then, sub 40 FTW!).

They are mostly nubs. And some are slow, I never said all are fast. 90% of the time I use partial edge control to avoid this, but as rpotts showed, sometimes during a solve I never have the chance to do edge control.
And no, you wouldn't save moves by getting a different OLL most of the time.

 

[Hershey]

Oh yeah! True.

 

[Rpotts]

yea most dots can still be 11 or 12htm, some of the common algs are long and ugly however.

 

[Ranzha]

wat do

U (y) l' U' l U2' M' U' M
y' U (R U2 R') (U R U' R') U' (F' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U2).
Yeah.

 

[cyoubx]

Sune, Fat Sune.

 

[Rpotts]

@ranzha neither of those work

It's one long solution, man. Just in two lines.

 

[Rpotts]

lol sorry

 

[Rinfiyks]

I use F R U R' U' F' for the line and R' U' F' U F R for the L, because I didn't like the sound of double layer turns. For dot, either one after the other.
Nice and simple two-look OLL algs.

 

[Kirjava]

Use ZBF2L you noobs

R' u' F R F' u R2 U R'

 

[Brest]

wat do

U' F' U L' U2 L U2 F U' R U2 R'
lol

What Kir said.

Wrong, not to mention your way is slower.

 

[Carrot]

Lw' U' L U' L' U2 Lw2 U L' U L U2 Lw'

 

[LarsN]

Just use CLLEF

 

[otsyke]

i normally do this:

d' M (L' U L U') M'

 

[Reinier Schippers]

just insert your last pair wirh R'F R'F'? then you will never have a 0-edge oll
