BH algs from ULB buffer

[rubiksarlen]

hey anyone know where i could find a list of BH algorithms with ULB as buffer? i just wanna memorize the Per Special agls and some columns. thanks.

I suggest You to practice mirroring algorithms in Your head. I also use ULB as buffer in BH and I didn't need any other sites than: http://www.speedcubing.com/chris/bhcorners.html .

I should have my list posted in like 6 months if you would wait that long

Riffz 3x3 BLD Corner Algs

Most of the algs are not move-optimal, more speed-optimal BH.

These are standard Per Special:

ULB>URF>DLF (F2, UL2U'L2U')
ULB>DLF>URF (UL2U'L2U', F2)

ULB>URF>DRB (UR2U'R2U', B2)
ULB>DRB>URF (B2, UR2U'R2U')

ULB>DRB>DLF (DL2D'L2D', B2)
ULB>DLF>DRB (B2, DL2D'L2D')

Does anyone else dislike the term 'algos'?

+1 And excuse my ignorance but shouldn't you just learn the different types of 3 cycles and get fluent with those rather than learning algorithms for all cases?

I cannot express the cringe-fest that happens every time I see it.

My list of speed optimal algs/comms was linked above. The document is worth looking at in the mean time, but I've made a lot of changes since I posted it. They're all on paper so I haven't had time to upload them yet. I'll bump the original thread when I do.

When you ask this question it makes me feel like you're not learning BH correctly.

per specials are hard for me, and since they're only 6 of them, i decided to memorize them. other than that, i know other 3-cycle commutators (except for A9s and Colmuns, in which i just do setup+8-move comm).

lol why so long?

The next month or so I'll be working on learning my edge commutators list (I'm basically done it...almost). I give myself two months for that, because my marathon is in a few weeks, so very little time...4 months left, which I attribute to me being extremely lazy and wanting to practice BLD and get fast (aka get myself some "street cred")

Quick question: Would using ULB as a buffer potentially be more "speed-optimal" for a right-handed person?

That's really hard to say... I think the difference between say ULB and UBR is pretty negligible.

I dislike it. It's an unnatural abbreviation in English because the pronunciation of "algorithm" puts no accent on "go," so that <o> is short (so [O]) (and in fact often reduced to a schwa in fast speech). Writing "algo" makes it seem like the <o> is long.

But in French, for example, "algo" is more natural than "alg."

[edit]
In both languages, it is true that "alg" is not a valid syllable structure (in "algorithm," the g belongs to the second syllable). It probably doesn't feel weird in English because "calque" for example is allowed and because /l/ is velarized and so arguably allows the voiced [g] more naturally. French of course has "calque," but French systematically uses a clear [l], which arguably makes the [g] more unnatural. So "algo," which unlike in English has the same vowel (or at most a slight difference in height) as in "algorithme," sounds better.

Somebody put Commutators from UFR as buffer!! That would be great fully helpful!

I'm working on it

I really don't like this artificial view of languages. I would say that "alg" is a "valid syllable" because some people use the term "alg". Talking about valid and invalid syllable structures makes more sense in Japanese due to its relatively limited phonetic nature.
