J2 Perm

[Kyle Barry]

Just wondering which alg and how fast people do the J2 perm, i do the one on Dan Harris' site, and i have never seen anyone else use it, and i do it in 1.46ish, and im not that fast. It's F2' L' U' r U2' l' U R' U' R2, it flows nicely.

I'm going to try that one out. It's odd, I was just looking for a good J2 today and didn't find anything. Right now I use the same one Erik uses, but I'm bad at executing it his way and mine is really slow.

Edit: Oo. I like yours (well, Dan's). I'm slow at the first part, but I can do the last sequence of moves very fast - I think it's either the same or very similar to something in my V perm.

Incidentally, I'm a freshman at Rutgers now, I added you as a facebook friend a few days back but then forgot to actually ask you - is there still a rubik's cube club?

i have never seen anyone else use it

I have been using this algorithm ever since I learned PLL . It's certainly one of my fastest, sub-1 in fact.

I've been using this algorithm pretty much ever since I learned PLL . It's certainly one of my fastest, sub-1 in fact.

How do you execute the F2 L' U r U2 portion? I'm doing it like: x U2 L' B' L U2, but that's rather slow. It might just be that my left hand isn't very quick, but I wanted to ask in case I'm just missing something obvious.

How about: x U2 r' U' r U2' l' U R' U' R2?

 

[EmersonHerrmann]

I read about that one in Dan Harris's book, its actually a really nice one. I do it like F2 L' U' r U2' (then I regrip with my left hand) (l' U R' U' [l R])

Thanks, that's a lot better. I really need to practice my U2', but I just got a sub-2 single so I can probably get it to around 1.5 over the next few days.

 

[Pedro]

I use the same alg too

 

[Lotsofsloths]

I can almost do (L U' R' U L' U2)(R U' R' U2 R ) sub 1, but I think Mitchell's is worth learning.

 

[Lucas Garron]

I can almost do (L U' R' U L' U2)(R U' R' U2 R ) sub 1, but I think Mitchell's is worth learning.

I set the NR single (11.74) on R U' L' U R' U2 L U' L' U2 L.

But yeh, the HTM-optimal one is good to know for a lot of reasons.

 

[TimMc]

I do 1.15 with (r' U2 r B r') U2 (R U' r B R') *shrug*

I'm only just learning PLL, so I have to use ones with easier patterns to remember. I use one from the PLL collection on this site, R'U2RUR'U2LU'R'UL.

 

[fanwuq]

I like y2 L' U2 L U L' U2 R U' L U R'
It is about 1.6 single, 2.0 average.
I like the reflection case better: 1.3 single, 1.6 average.

I'll try your alg, but it looks ugly from first sight.

 

[hdskull]

I use that algorithm also, and I also posted a thread on this Jperm, and after all the responses, to decide to stick with the same one.

I love that J perm! its my favourite PLL alg
my record for it is 1.1x, faster than my U perms

 

[Sa967St]

it actually flows nicer if its
x U2 r' U' r U2 l' U R' U' R2

 

[MistArts]

it actually flows nicer if its
x U2 r' U' r U2 l' U R' U' R2

Optimal ftw!

 

[fanwuq]

Just tried it, I like it!

Anyone use FRU'R'U'RdRUR'B'RU'R2 as Y perm?

 

[Sa967St]

Anyone use F R' F R2 U' R' U' R U R' F' R U R' U' F' as a Y perm?
I only use it if I do the AUF at the end
