Will cut em soon

I don't see anything non-obvious in terms of the fingertricks, but the algorithm itself is cool. I'll just copy it from your description:
Rw2 R U2 R U2 R' U2 Rw U2 Rw2 U2 Rw2 U2 Rw L U2 R' U2 R U2 L' Rw2

What do you think about it compared to the T-perm one?
L U L' (Uw2 Rw2 U2 r2 U2 Rw2 Uw2) y' R U R' U' R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' U' F'

 

[stevecho816]

Cool alg.

 

[DrKorbin]

Why not (F R U' R' U' R U R' F) U (r2 U2 r2 Uw2 r2 Uw2) U (R U R' U' R' F R F') ?

Thanks for T perm one, made my day

I use F r' F r2 U' r' U' r U r' F' r' U' R U R' r U' R' U R2 U R' U' r R' U R r' U' F', mostly without F/F' at the start end for BLD, I adapted the one Rob Yau posted since the idea works for the Y perm I use as well as the standard one.

I just avoid the scenario altogether. I did learn the adj edges swap though.

 

[Christopher Mowla]

Haha, it's nice to see someone using my alg. Also note that the Rw moves can be inverted to do the same thing (if that's faster). That is,

Rw2 R U2 R U2 R' U2 Rw U2 Rw2 U2 Rw2 U2 Rw L U2 R' U2 R U2 L' Rw2 (22f) (the alg in the op)
or
Rw2 R U2 R U2 R' U2 Rw' U2 Rw2 U2 Rw2 U2 Rw' L U2 R' U2 R U2 L' Rw2 (22f)

How?

 

[FinnGamer]

How?

COLL? I use it every time on 4x4/6x6, because you can get parity-only LL. You have to orient the LL edges during F2L-1 ofc.

This seems awesome too. But considering that you will have to make a cube rotation, this does not impress me for now. Also I lock up quite a lot on my SS, so, considering the nervousness in a competition, I would try not to turn my cube much or increase the number of moves I do, which is why I prefer this. I already know (F R U' R' U' R U R' F) U (r2 U2 r2 Uw2 r2 Uw2) U (R U R' U' R' F R F') too, the one that DrKorbin just posted, but I prefer RUL moves for this case rather than F moves.

I do use COLL too, but I guess using it for sune and antisune cases are only going to eat up more time. If someone's curious about where I learnt from, I learnt the alg from 4Everything's channel long time back.

Cool alg.

Rw2 R U2 R U2 R' U2 Rw U2 Rw2 U2 Rw2 U2 Rw L U2 R' U2 R U2 L' Rw2 (22f) (the alg in the op)

Rw2 R U2 R U2 R' U2 Rw' U2 Rw2 U2 Rw2 U2 Rw' L U2 R' U2 R U2 L' Rw2 (22f)

Thanks a lot for the alg! I used this to get my first ever sub 1 in 4x4 6 months back

Glad I could help. Unfortunately I could not succeed at getting a RUL alg for the adjacent case (which is the same length or shorter, at least) with no cube rotations. The following is the best I've gotten (you might have seen this already, but...). All we do is shift the alg for the diagonal case and conjugate:

z' Rw2
R' U2 Rw U2 Rw2 U2 Rw2 U2 Rw L U2 R' U2 R U2 L'
Rw2 Rw2 R U2 R U2
Rw2 z
= z' Rw2 R' U2 Rw U2 Rw2 U2 Rw2 U2 Rw L U2 R' U2 R U2 L' R U2 R U2 Rw2 z (22f)
or, if we invert the Rw moves,
= z' Rw2 R' U2 Rw' U2 Rw2 U2 Rw2 U2 Rw' L U2 R' U2 R U2 L' R U2 R U2 Rw2 z (22f)

My personal favorite alg for the adj. case, however, is the 18f I made partially using cube explorer.
z r2 U2 R' U2 R' U2 R x U2 Rw2 U2 B2 L U2 L' U2 Rw2 U2 z' y'

and I use my 17f alg [Rw2 F2 U2: r2 y Rw2 U' Rw2 U D Lw2' U' Lw2' y'] U' (which I made by being inspired by Clement's 4x4x4 solver's 16f alg) for the diagonal case. But I'm not very fast compared to a lot of you guys.

 

[Bhargav777]

Thanks a lot! I'll learn this one soon and use in a comp.

 

[Schmidt]

How?

I never had a diag. parity in a solve.

If you ever come across the diag. parity in a solve and you don't know the direct alg. to solve it, you can use opp. parity and N-perm.

 

[ottozing]

What if you got an OLL skip?

 

[rowehessler]

i just do parity alg and N perm cuz im awesome

 

[Schmidt]

Are you making fun of me? Or are you really awesome??

 

[qqwref]

That's Rowe. I can confirm that he really is awesome.
