If at least on if those edges is oriented correctly, then you can do a D2 to pair up one or two pairs. Then take it out and insert it properly. Then deal with the other one.

Using Baum Harris style, first recognize the COLL case and then look at the two edges right next to the UFR corner. For the first case, you would identify it as AO, or adjacent opposite. That is because the FU sticker is an adjacent color compared to the one on FUR, and the RU sticker is an...

If you’re going to go that route, then consider these two cases: 1. R U R’ U R U2 R’ U R U2 R’ U’ R U’ R’ U 2. R’ U’ R U’ R’ U2 R U’ R’ U2 R U R’ U R U As you can see they both have big 1x1x3 bars. You distinguish these 2 cases by what sticker is next to these bars. For the first case, the...

Fair enough. I just think this version is more adapted to recognize from any angle. I’m not saying it’s the best, but it’s something to think about. I’ll definitely try it out and see where it leads.

Chris mentions that his method recognition can eventually lead to two-sided recognition in the video, since you essentially have to look at blocks to determine cases where the edges are not visible. Also when I said that that case was unique, I meant for that corner permutation. The case you...

So I've been attempting to learn full ZBLL but I also want to be able to recognize a case from any angle. For T, U, and L, flipping the corners in my head and determining what PLL it would be works fine, but I found that for Pi, H, and certain angles of S and AS, this isn't the best method. In...

Is there an alg that inserts the pair and solves the corners? The edges don't have to be solved, just still oriented correctly. Setup: (Jb Perm) U' R' D' R U R' D R

Is there a nice way to solve this pll parity case? Set Up: (V Perm) U2 R U R' U' (PLL Parity) U' R U' R'

Is there an alg that solves this case nicely, or should I just do ZBLL (which is pretty short for this case once you insert)? Set Up: R2 D' r U2 r' D R U2 R U2 R U R'

I need an alg that cycles three corners. Set Up: U' R' U' R U' R' U R' D' R U' R' D R U2 R U' R U R' U2 R U R' U2 ( Sorry for the long set up, I don't know how else to get to this case).

Yeah I sometimes try too hard to preserve blocks and it ends up backfiring. I'll try to work on my TPS, particularly during EOLine, since it is the hardest to finger trick. How fast can you execute LL in OH?

I'm actually one of the people that uses it only for OH, but recently I have been using it for 2H as well. I may just end up being method neutral with ZZ and CFOP, since I find both methods really enjoyable.

So I’ve been using ZZ for OH since January of this year and I average low 20s. Any tips for sub 20? Also, what do other ZZ OHers average?

Thanks for this. I'm a bit confused as to how I would I apply to this zbll, since there isn't the "same" symmetry as there is in pll, if that makes sense. Does this mean that, say, this case would be more rare because there is two full blocks: F2 U' F2 R U2 B2 D2 F2 L B2 U' B2 D2 F2 B2 U'? And...
