Useful OLLCPs

[Rpotts]

Here are a handful of OLLCPs I've learned over the last year or so, most of which I actively use in solves when I get the chance. I never directly went on an OLLCP learning spree, these are just random ones I picked up from the boards/irc, various cubers' websites and mirroring and inverting algs I already knew / random algs I found.

I was considering making this a video but I think I prefer a text-based option, lemme know if anyone truly thinks a video would help them, I will consider it.

Wow, that was exhausting. Please point out any errors, I made this in one run in about an hour, hope everything's alright.

Shoutouts to Crider for his unbelievably helpful alg translator

Currently I'm covering 17/57 OLLs with at least one extra OLLCP, and I could add COLL but there are already tons of pages on that so I'll probably pass.

'tis beautiful

nice. im currently learning some ollcp so this will definately come in handy

Nice! Thank you for sharing. =)

Can you explain your recognition system?

Also, have you seen:
OLL 56
[R U' R' M' U' R: U']
=
R U' R' M' U' R U' R U M R U R'

or different execution:
[R U' R2' r U' R: U']
=
R U' R2' r U' R U' R U r' R2 U R'

OLL 30
R2 U R' B' R U' R2 U R B R'

or different execution:
R2 U l' D' l U' R2 U l U l'

I like how this alg translates into a short(er) Yperm:
F R U' R' U' R d R U R' B' R U' R2

Another nice Yperm from one of the other listed OLL 30:
F R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' (R U R' U') F'

Well my recognition varies from case to case, for the Pi and H cases with 4 unoriented corners you can make out the CP simply by looking at the patterns on the U face.

For L cases such as OLL 37 I look at the two corner stickers on the U face, see if they're opposite/adjacent or the same colors. From there I generally look at FUR and that's enough to deduce it.

For Sune/Anti Sune cases you first look for the two opposite corner stickers on the U face, they can either be diagonal, on the left/right or on the front/back. From there I generally compare those opposite colors to RFU and see if they match or are opposite. Some OLLCPs aren't executed from my normal Sune angle and I have to use a different recognition technique. Like for Sune+U2 I find the Opp stickers, and if they are diagonal I compare them to FUL. If they are on the front I compare FUL to UBL (for niklas and such.) Recognizing Sunes is hard...

For U and T I generally put the unoriented corners in the back and look at their U stickers, they're either the same (2 cases) opposite (2 cases) or adjacent (2 cases.) Then I compare them to F stickers. It's definitely a simpler process than I'm making it seem, it just sorta happens now when I'm recognizing OLL. Btw, I'm more describing how I recognize COLL/CLL, sorry just realized that. It's the same idea but with OLLCP I almost always AUF to my normal angle, and then if necessary recognize OLLCP -> AUF -> execute. Most of the OLLCPs I actively use are from the same angle as my normal alg to avoid wasting too much time to possible gain from getting an EPLL vs PLL.

I think they are correct. Corner permutation stays the same; edge 3cycle and flip.
[R U' R' M' U' R: U']

[R U' R2' r U' R: U']

There is also a different OLLCP:
[R U' R2' r U' R: U]

and an ELL: [R U' R2' r U' R: U2]

Thanks for your algs too!

I didn't write any algs down when learning OLLCP, they're all in my brain :/

I'll upload my full list when I'm confident enough that I have something decent for every case.

Sorry to sound like a noob, but what's ollcp?

I don't want to ask this in the one answer question thread.

EDIT: Also, what's ell?

Ok for the first OLLCP, I was reading the full alg (not the commutator one) and you missed a prime, it is R U' R' M' U' R U' R' U M R U R'

Anyway, for these two I prefer
r' U' r U' R' U R U' R' U R r' U r
&
r U2 R' U' R U R' U' R U' r'

But yours are nice too

Also, I really like the ELL ! Right now I'm using (FRUR'U'F') (OLL C) for that case. I don't know if I'll change.
